The complex was ready for occupancy in 1927, but additions continued until 1947. Eventually it comprised the main house and three cottages, all of which are furnished with a variety of valuable antiques. Even the lavatories were specially equipped. Williams favorite room was said to be the library with its collections of more than 5,000 books, ancient Greek vases, and an antique Spanish ceiling suspended by cables so it will sway in the event of an earthquake .
那座综合性建筑在1927年就已经可以使用,但扩建工程一直持续到1947年。最后,它包含了一幢主楼和三栋别墅,每一座的家具配备都使用各种贵重的古董。连厕所的设施都很特别。威廉最喜欢的房间据说是图书室,里面有收藏的5,000多本书籍,古希腊的花瓶,以及一个用缆索悬吊起来的古代西班牙吊顶,一旦发生地震,吊顶就会摇摆。
In the 20s, 30s, and 40s, William loved part-time at the estate with his mistress, Marion Davies. They entertained to an excessive extent. To be invited to the castle was a privilege. Movie stars, politicians, businessmen, and even royalty were frequent guests. Many of these guests, including a British lord, Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith, Amelia Ear hart, and Charles Lindbergh, flew to the ranch, landing on the private airstrip.
