Preston Castle

Went to the Preston Castle (Ione CA) with Viewpoints Gallery folks.  Four hours is just not enough time to do it justice, but I tried.  Here's a photomerge image of the castle.  I'll post more images on other days as I work on them.    The Castle was built in 1894 and used as a home for juvenile delinquent boys.  The first prisoner was a 12-year-old boy who would have gone to San Quentin if the castle hadn't opened.  Bricks were made at San Quentin and Folsom Prison.
