David S. Castle was an architect in Texas who moved to the city of Abilene in 1914.

Castle’s firm has been assessed to be Abilene’s “most successful architect”, and a number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. He designed numerous buildings throughout the state including civic, religious, and official structures.

Castle’s architectural and engineering firm, D.S. Castle, Inc., is especially recognized for its superb hotel designs. Four of the architect’s and firm’s hotels were built in Abilene.

Castle was joined in business by his son, architect David S. Castle, Jr. after World War II and until Mr. Castle, Sr.’s death in 1956.
