Filoli

An English country estate built in 1915....in the silicon valley.

You might recognize it as the house from Dynasty


It was built by the heir to one of the most productive gold mines in history...William Bourn.

The gardens from The Wedding Planner



The Roth family (cruise line moguls) purchased it from the Bourn Family in 1930ish and later donated it to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the 80's.
