The tour of the orange packing house made my eyes bug out at least a foot and turned me bright green with envy. It has me wishing for one of my own -- a fully furnished and equipped turnkey version, of course -- that I could simply walk in and occupy. Given a choice between owning and living in the castle and the packing house, I'd take the latter in a heartbeat.
I live in a large home for our small Island, but it's not big enough for all I own (I used to live in my own place, once I moved back home I had to put most of my things in storage), so I'd love nothing better than to build my own place 🏚
Interesting. This is more interesting than the castle. All the wild stuff and stories. Love Eisenhower getting caught on the elevator. You guys are doing great since you started getting out again. Thumbs up
How freaking COOL! Scott seems like a fascinating person, what an upbringing. Thank you two for all these amazing, awesome, cool, and for me bitter sweet videos! I'm so glad to have left LA, but my heart holds a big space for it. You really don't know how much these mean to lil' old me. God bless you kids.
How fascinating that the Tin Palace once existed as an orange packing house in a former life! Besides being served by trucks, was this old packing house also served by trains in the past? I ask because most Southern California citrus packing houses had their own railroad sidings to ship their fruit by train.
In the 60s & 70s Michael would wake up around 2am, when we had guests sleeping in the Packing House, and make sure all the refrigerator doors weren't closed all the way. He worried about oxygen levels in those rooms.
That was great you added more footage of your visit. Verry cool to see where they lived and get more back story on his family well done you two very interesting
Amazing! Absolutely amazing! I would not mind living in there at all.. at the very least, if they make it into a bed and breakfast, I'm in!! Thank you for sharing this!
Arthur Bourne's mansion was a very short walk from he packing house. There is another large house above the Castle in the foothills that was also built by Bourne. Bourne's grandfather was the 5th president of Singer Sewing Co., and made the business "perhaps the first modern multinational industrial enterprise of any nationality". Was Michael Rubel, the boy who worked for Mr. Bourne, inspired by the fact that Bourne's family had a castle at Dark island in New York? One of the influences we may never know.
Huell's first visit was 1990 and by that time nobody was living full time in the Tin Palace. To keep his episode at ten minutes, he decided (much like Drew & Bethany did) to not cover the interiors. Huell returned in 2011 and covered it all with a half hour episode.

The Rubel family would be a hoot to know.

President Ike in a giant orange freezer warehouse. Now that's odd, even for you guys...thanks! 🇺🇲🍊
Wowza….so many layers of stories in that property. Could fill a huge book. Thank you.

Bethany would look hot in a Glad trash bag gentlemen. ⚘

I remember driving by there while working in the area..I had no idea how intricate it was ..thanks for the bonus
As much fun touring the Tin Palace as it was the Castle.
This is gonna be a fun one. Who am I kidding they’re all cool and fun.
I live less then 10 miles From there, and never knew about this place. Thanks for sharing, You guys always find the best locations.
How fascinating! I've always been leery of walk-in refrigerators so I don't know how comfortable I would be sleeping in one. Certainly unique, though.

Thanks for the follow up! And I was right about the flooding 😯
That was great you added more footage of your visit. Verry cool to see where they lived and get more back story on his family well done you two very interesting
Just incredible watching the walk through history I could have listened for longer with the stories
What a cool Tin Palace! Thank you for showing us how cool this place is.
Thank You for taking us on your journeys. This was really eclectic and interesting.
"That's his parents... If you want to see who's responsible for raising a Castle Builder." 😂🤣😂🤣
Wow, I think this building is even more impressive than the castle itself.
Just amazing!
That place is fascinating. So darn cool!
Those men were amazing to build what they did, cool place to live!
Amazing! Absolutely amazing! I would not mind living in there at all.. at the very least, if they make it into a bed and breakfast, I'm in!! Thank you for sharing this!

We're glad you're here!

Thank you for sharing another interesting adventure. You two are fabulous.
WOW….what a piece of history. So interesting. Thanks for this discovery an bring it to light.
Wow what a neat place! So much history and interesting things to see and stories to go with it! Thankyou so much! 💓
What an interesting place. One nice thing about the refrigerators being used as bedrooms could be that they are well insulated. Lol.
That’s a really cool place!
I’d live there for sure!!
While there, you were just a few miles away from the Singer house. Where the family of the original Singer Sewing machine lived.

amazing palace, might go see it soon
Nicely done, Huell Howser didn't take us there. Perhaps back then the family was still living there.

Wonderful content. I love these stories!
This was so cool! Thanks for sharing!
