There are spectacular California homes...and then there's the legendary Hearst Castle, commissioned by media mogul William Randolph Hearst and designed by pioneering architect Julia Morgan in the 1940s. 🏰 Since then it's become a California state park, where you can explore all 165 rooms and acres upon acres of terraced gardens, magnificent pools and towering palm trees 🙌 📍 SLO CAL | Visit California

From a stylistic standpoint he seemed to prefer the Gothic and Renaissance periods. He had very little admiration for artwork from his own time. But if you look hard enough, you will find modern/contemporary art sprinkled throughout the Castle. Join Margaret as she takes you on a tour of Art Deco at the Castle. | Hearst Castle | Facebook
