Host Site

Our host site is Filoli, a National Trust for Historic Preservation property.  Filoli is one of the grandest and most recognizable country house in Northern California. Built in 1915 for Mr. and Mrs. William Bowers Bourn II by architect Willis Polk. The grand classical mansion and formal gardens incorporates touches of traditional English Georgian design with Mediterranean accents to create a distinctly California style.  The house is probably most notable from the TV series Dynasty and has been used in numerous film and television productions.
