George Loorz was construction engineer on many legendary building projects including Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Building for Hearst and Morgan draws on his extensive writings, as well as contemporary published sources, to give an inside look at two of the most fascinating and influential figures of 20th-century America. The beautifully illustrated book captures the people and places of their world from the early 1930s through the outbreak of World War II. Including a trove of rare, previously unpublished photos, Building for Hearst and Morgan takes the reader behind the scenes at such magical locales as the medieval chateau Wyntoon and the famed lodge created by the newspaper magnate and his architect at the Grand Canyon.
