Hearst Castle - The Gothic Suite - a photo on Flickriver

            Gothic Study W. R. Hearst’s private quarters occupied the entire third floor of the mansion. Here he displayed many sacred objects, including paintings, statues, textiles, and metalwork. Mr. Hearst was not a formal churchgoer, but he treasured these precious historic late-medieval pieces. He and his companion Marion Davies occupied the suite’s two bedrooms and private sitting room. Its soaring Gothic Study evokes a church, with its high windows and painted arches. But three thousand books and an imposing conference table show that this was actually Mr. Hearst’s personal library and executive board room.
