Preston Castle Foundation — photo spot in 900 Palm Dr, Ione, CA 95640, USA
Preston Castle Foundation
Preston Castle (former Preston School of Industry) offers dramatic Gothic Revival architecture, ornate brickwork, tiled roofs and weathered interiors—ideal for moody architectural and historical shots. Best light is golden hour on the west facade and soft overcast for interiors. Access is limited: guided tours, events or appointments required; parking available on site and in nearby Ione. Weekdays and off-season reduce crowds. Some rooms are closed and stairs/uneven floors limit accessibility.
