Significant Dates: Julia Morgan, Bernard Maybeck, and Willis Polk all begin designing structures for Wyntoon in 1899. 1902 Maybeck and Morgan design and build a castle for Phoebe Hearst. It was completed in 1904 and featured in American Homes and Gardens in 1906. William Randolph Hearst bought Wyntoon from its 99-year leas in 1929, and in 1934 bought all of The Bend for a combined 50,000 acres. In 1932 Julia Morgan redesigned Wyntoon in the style of a Bavarian village per William Randolph Hearst's request. The houses were completed in 1933. The Bend was torn down and redesigned and built by Morgan from 1935-1941.
