Hello Rimu!
Today we went to the Hearst Castle and looked at the history of the Hearst family. It was built on a really big hill and was more than three story’s high! It was made by William Randolph Hearst and he started 1919 and took him 28 years to make it! And yet it still isn’t finished! That would’ve taken soo long to build! He was the man who made the first Newspaper industry and that’s how he got all of his money.

| This is one of the main water fountains at the entrance patio. The patio originally was the fountain and path but it was later extended to what you see. |

| This was one of the tapestry’s that were hung on the walls inside the Great Room for insulation. Only very rich people have them. Usually Kings & Lords have them. He used to invite celebrities and Hollywood’s most famous actors of the time. There was also a fire place so big they could fit up to 3 adults inside of it! |

| This is the Neptune pool located near the stairways leading to the entrance of the building. This pool wasn’t like any other pool, you had to wear tops on because Hearst didn’t allow open-chested swimming. He did not let open-chested swimming because it was not acceptable to swim showing your skin in the 1940s. |
