William Randolph Hearst built a beachfront estate here for the actress Marion Davies, designed by Julia Morgan and finished in 1929 around a 110 room mansion. Davies sold it in 1947, the mansion was torn down in 1956 and the state bought the land. The marble trimmed swimming pool and one guest house survived, and the Annenberg Foundation restored the pool and opened the site to the public in 2009.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
