But it was after visiting Bishop’s Castle that I remembered I had Empty Mansions by Bill Dedman in my queue and was spurred to pick it up.Įmpty Mansions, while somewhat about castles, tells the story of Huguette Clark, heir to an unfathomable amount of money. While Hearst’s is a sprawling estate at the top of a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Bishop’s was (and is still) built by one man who is a bit of a local legend (you can learn more about him here). Last year I visited Hearst Castle while I was in Big Sur, CA ( courtesy of Buick), and not long ago I visited Bishop’s Castle here in Colorado. I forget this and don’t make it a point to visit them, but every time I do I’m awed.
