Construction on the Marion Davies Beach House began in 1926, with both media mogul William Randolph Hearst and film star Marion Davies actively involved in its creation. Contributions from architect Julia Morgan (who designed San Simeon) created a cohesive grace to the rambling Beach House estate, which featured an ornate swimming pool, several houses, gardens, and a 110-room mansion. Part of this building is still there and is now a community beach house.
