	Introduction to Images of the Hearst Castle, San Simeon, California, by Julia Morgan.
		Although Phoebe Apperson Hearst had aided Julia Morgan's early career, her more famous son, William Randolph Hearst, the publishing magnate, art collector, and movie producer, entered Morgan's life with the commissioning of a Sausalito house (1912-14), which was never built, and a cottage on his Grand Canyon property (1914), since demolished.
		Hearst and his family had camped on this hill in tents erected on wooden platforms when they vacationed on his 250,000 acre Piedra Blanca Ranch during the first two decades of the 20th century.
		Morgan was not only responsible for these buildings but for designing five Mission style residences for Hearst's top employees and a Mission style warehouse in the town of San Simeon (as well as overseeing the constuction of four utilitarian steel warehouses in San Simeon)-- to house Hearst's extensive art collections.
