Awesome little bit of Southern California history, it's these kind of things that give a place character and culture.

I used to visit Michael's castle and stay there when I was in my early 20s, back in 1970-71. ;) Stephanie

I grew up about 6 blocks from this place. One of the few fond memories I have of glendora. I could hear the peacocks cry at dusk. Mike would set up the best halloween haunted houses for the neighborhood. He was (is?) very much the way you see him here. An anarchist in the truest sense of the word. The most punk rock dude I've ever known. And the kindest. This castle was built in the midst of acres of citrus groves and was eventually surrounded by tract homes.

This is one of my all time favorite Huell Howser episodes. I'm so glad I came across it again. Thanks
