First stop,--- Hearst Castle at San Simeon---now a Nat'l Monument, protected by the State of California--can't be changed/finished, must be left, preserved, just as it was when William Randolph Hearst left it in 1948,[dying only 3 years later,at the age of 88, never having had a chance to complete his dream.] after working on the building process for over 21 years with architech, Julia Morgan.
