Located east, across the street from Glen Elder’s town square, the Castle Service Station was built by Ernie Norris in 1926.
This unique structure, a National Historic Landmark, was the result of a dream Mr. Norris had since being in the military during World War I — constructing a service station that resembled a castle he’d observed in Luxemburg.
Well-built with cut-to-fit, native limestone stone, the building features three spanning archways.
Now a home residence, the castle still holds a place in Glen Elder history as a reminder of a man who served his country during the First World War and returned to his hometown for the betterment of the community. (Lodging available next door in the Palace Lodge.)
