This video recorded ten years ago has never been uploaded to YouTube. The video includes both the interior and exterior of this stunning California landmark.
Hearst Castle, known formally as La Cuesta Encantada (Spanish for "The Enchanted Hill"), is a historic estate in San Simeon, located on the Central Coast of California. Conceived by William Randolph Hearst, the publishing tycoon, and his architect Julia Morgan, the castle was built between 1919 and 1947. Today, Hearst Castle is a museum open to the public as a California State Park and registered as a National Historic Landmark and California Historical Landmark.
George Hearst, William Randolph Hearst's father, had purchased the original 40,000-acre (162 km2) estate in 1865 and Camp Hill, the site for the future Hearst Castle, was used for family camping vacations during Hearst's youth. In 1919, William Randolph inherited some $11,000,000 (equivalent to $186,000,000 in 2022) and estates including the land at San Simeon. He used his fortune to further develop his media empire of newspapers, magazines and radio stations, the profits from which supported a lifetime of building and collecting. Within a few months of the death of his mother, Phoebe Hearst, he had commissioned Morgan to build "something a little more comfortable up on the hill", the genesis of the present castle. Morgan was an architectural pioneer; "America's first truly independent female architect", she was the first woman to study architecture at the School of Beaux-Arts in Paris, the first to have her own architectural practice in California and the first female winner of the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal. She worked in close collaboration with Hearst for over twenty years, and the castle at San Simeon is her best-known creation.
In the Roaring Twenties and into the 1930s, Hearst Castle reached its social peak. Originally intended to be a family home for Hearst, his wife Millicent and their five sons, by 1925 Hearst's marriage was effectively over and San Simeon became his domain and that of his mistress, the actress Marion Davies. Their guest list included many of the Hollywood stars of the period; Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant, the Marx Brothers, Greta Garbo, Buster Keaton, Mary Pickford, Jean Harlow and Clark Gable all visited, some on multiple occasions. Political luminaries encompassed Calvin Coolidge and Winston Churchill while other notables included Charles Lindbergh, P. G. Wodehouse and Bernard Shaw. Visitors gathered each evening at Casa Grande for drinks in the assembly room, dined in the refectory and watched the latest movie in the theater before retiring to the luxurious accommodation provided by the guest houses of Casa del Mar, Casa del Monte and Casa del Sol. During the days, they admired the views, rode, played tennis, bowls or golf and swam in the "most sumptuous swimming pool on earth". While Hearst entertained, Morgan built; the castle was under almost continual construction from 1920 until 1939, with work resuming after the end of World War II until Hearst's final departure in 1947.
In May 1947, Hearst's health compelled him and Marion Davies to leave the castle for the last time. He died in Los Angeles in 1951. Morgan died in 1957. The following year, the Hearst family gave the castle and many of its contents to the State of California and the mansion was opened to the public in June 1958. It has since operated as the Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument and attracts about 750,000 visitors annually. The Hearst family retains ownership of the majority of the wider estate of 82,000 acres (332 km2) and, under a land conservation agreement reached in 2005, has worked with the California State Parks Department and American Land Conservancy to preserve the undeveloped character of the area; the setting for the castle which Bernard Shaw is said to have described as "what God would have built if he had had the money".
Merry Christmas everyone. I am sitting at home on this Christmas Eve watching some of my videos recorded at Christmas time. I was watching my Christmas in New York video and noticed quite a few pixelation problems, so I decided to upload the video again fixing those issues.
This video was recorded December 23-24, 2010 in New York City as I wander around the city admiring the Christmas decorations. New York was my last stop on a trip that included a 15 day cruise from Los Angeles, through the Panama Canal and terminating in Florida.
My 262 mile drive home on Interstate 74 from Galesburg, Illinois.
My 160 mile drive around the Mississippi River from Hannibal, Missouri to Galesburg, Illinois. I make two Illinois stops in Quincy and Nauvoo. There are also two stops in Iowa in Fort Madison and Burlington.
My 325 mile drive from Mooresville, Indiana to Hannibal, Missouri via Interstates 74 and 72, with stops in Crawfordville, Indiana and Covington, Indiana on the way.
Fort Madison is a city in Lee County, Iowa with a population just over 10,000 people. Located along the Mississippi River in the state's southeast corner, it lies between small bluffs along one of the widest portions of the river. The city of Fort Madison was established around the site of the historic Fort Madison (1808–1813), which was the first permanent U.S. military fortification on the Upper Mississippi.
Nauvoo is a small city in Hancock County, Illinois on the Mississippi River near Fort Madison, Iowa. The population of Nauvoo is just shy of one thousand citizens. Nauvoo attracts visitors for its historic importance and its religious significance to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The city and its immediate surrounding area are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Nauvoo Historic District.
Quincy, known as Illinois's "Gem City", is the county seat of Adams County, Illinois, located on the Mississippi River. The 2020 census counted a population of 39,463 people.
Hannibal is a city along the Mississippi River in the state of Missouri. This river community is best known as the mid-19th-century boyhood home of author Samuel Langhorne Clemens (aka Mark Twain, 1835-1910). Twain drew from his childhood settings for his novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884). Numerous historical sites are associated with Mark Twain and the places depicted in his fiction.
