Pax Amicus Castle is a monument to the obsessive industriousness and vision of a few individuals who transformed a building from a simple cinder block box into an architectural marvel. The project earned honors as Outstanding Building of the Year of 1979 from the National Remodelers Association, who cited it for the designer and builder's unique use of an existing building, sensitivity to the environment (not one tree was disturbed), structural soundness, and its form-function marriage: a Castle as a Theatre for Children. (Programming is not limited solely to children's theater.)
