Preston School of Industry in Ione California

Located in Ione, California, the Preston School of Industry, also known as Preston Castle, was one of the oldest and best-known reform schools in the United States. The abandoned building has since been named a California Historical Landmark (#867) and listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NPS-75000422).

Note: The images on this page were captured using the Leica M10 and ZEISS Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 ZM. Capture One by Phase One was used to process the RAW files.
