I couldn't find any previous photos posted of this place on this thread. There are some posts about Rindge and Tovanger had mentioned the "50-room Castle Malibu built for May (it burned in 1970)."

I found a site that says: Her [May's] unfinished "castle" along with 26 acres acres of land and thousands of crated Malibu Potteries tiles, were sold in 1942 to the Franciscan Order for $50,000 (today's Serra Retreat House, rebuilt after a 1970 brush fire).

So far, I haven't found any historic photos of this place.
