Poor Man’s Hearst Castle

Have you ever noticed how people will travel many miles to see something interesting, but completely ignore interesting stuff right down the street? A great example is the Rubel Castle in Glendora, California.

Michael Rubel purchased a 2½ acre citrus orchard in 1959. The property included a water cistern and packing house whichMichaelRubel and his friends worked on transforming to something interesting over the next three decades. Rubelia is considered the first major recycling project in the United States.
