Original caption
Another must see LA gothic space. Step off the lawn and the light changes. Eighteenth-century tapestries, dark wood, stained glass saints in every corner. Cold, still, more chateau than California. Henry Huntington built this gorgeous place. The money traces back to his uncle, Collis P. Huntington, who also founded Newport News Shipbuilding (my hometown).
