Magnificent Hearst Castle History Paperback Book from Plastichrome
William Randolph Hearst named it La Cuesta Encantada, the Enchanted Hill.
Set against the verdant Santa Lucia Mountains on a coastal knoll, its 123 acres of gardens, terraces, pools and palatial guest-houses, create a perfect setting for the magnificent Hispano-Moorish mansion, La Casa Grande.
The Enchanted Hill represents an artful blend of several distinct architectural and artistic influences.
The prime engineer of this fantastic project was Hearst himself, but much credit must go to Miss Julia Morgan, a distinguished Berkeley architect.
