San Simeon California Hearst Castle Celestial Suite Bedroom Vintage Postcard

Description: San Simeon California Hearst Castle Celestial Suite Bedroom Vintage Postcard The celestial bedrooms, with a connecting, shared, sitting room, were created between 1924 and 1926. The bell towers were raised to improve the proportions of the building, and the suites constructed in the spaces created below. The relatively cramped spaces allowed no room for storage, and en-suite bathrooms were "awkwardly squeezed" into lower landings. The sitting room contains one of the most important paintings in Hearst's collection, Bonaparte Before the Sphinx (1886) by Jean-Léon Gérôme. The suites are linked externally by a walkway, the celestial bridge, which is decorated with elaborate tiling. The Hearst family gave the castle and many of its contents to the State of California and the mansion was opened to the public in June 1958.
