L�A� TIMES TOURThe historic Los Angeles Times Building, located at 1st and Spring Street in Downtown Los Angeles, opened in 1935 and at the time was the largest building in the western U.S. designed and occupied entirely as a daily newspaper publishing operation. Gordon B. Kaufmann designed the Times Building and won a gold medal at the 1937 Paris Exposition for its Moderne architectural style. The Globe Lobby is one of the aesthetic highlights of the Times Building. Its 10-foot-high murals were painted in 1934 by Hugo Ballin, who also painted the Griffith Observatory rotunda, and represent some of the finest murals produced in Los Angeles during the 1930s. The lobby also includes a historical exhibit showcasing the first 100 years of The Times. First we will take a guided tour of the editorial newsroom to see the writing, editing, page design and photography departments and the Test Kitchen. Enjoy lunch on your own tab at the Times cafeteria, the downstairs lunch room that once held the large printing presses for the paper. Then we will bus to the Times printing plant, a $230 million state-of-the-art plant to see the presses, robotics, packaging, delivery departments and massive paper warehouse, twice the length of a football field and 3 stories high.

RUBEL CASTLE, A RECYCLED DREAM & ROUTE 66When he was 18, Michael Rubel bought 2.5 acres of a citrus orchard in Glendora, California. Therein he began fulfilling his childhood dream of owning and living in a real castle. Over the next 26 years, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, Rubel Castle was completed. Though built largely of concrete and stone, any discards Michael found interesting were recycled and used in his project. A courtyard, drawbridge, clock tower, faux graveyard, dungeons, and other oddities fill the property. Shortly before his death in 2007, Rubel gifted the Castle to the Glendora Historical Society to assure this quirky treasure’s perpetuity. In 2013, Rubel Castle was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. NOTE: The Castle has uneven walking surfaces and is not recommended for those with conditions that physical exertion may exacerbate. Walking shoes are essential. We will enjoy lunch at Legend’s Classic, a charming 50’s diner, on your own tab. For an added treat we will stop at The Donut Man, now featuring their heavenly, renowned fresh strawberry donuts.

The opulent interior reflects the wealth and status of pioneering oil baron Edward L. Doheny, who purchased the mansion in 1901 and, with his wife Estelle, led a fascinating life within its walls.
