Designed by architect Julia Morgan, it was a residence for newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst between 1919 and 1947. Hearst died in 1951, and it became a California State Park in 1958. Since that time, it has been operated as the Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument, where the estate, and its considerable collection of art and antiques, is open for public tours. Hearst formally named the estate La Cuesta Encantada , but usually called it the Ranch. Hearst Castle and grounds are also sometimes referred to as San Simeon, without distinguishing between the Hearst property and the adjacent unincorporated area of the same name.
