W. R. Hearst’s private quarters occupied the entire third floor of the mansion. Here he displayed many sacred objects, including paintings, statues, textiles, and metalwork. Mr. Hearst was not a formal churchgoer, but he treasured these precious historic late-medieval pieces. He and his companion Marion Davies occupied the suite’s two bedrooms and private sitting room. Its soaring Gothic Study evokes a church, with its high windows and painted arches. But three thousand books and an imposing conference table show that this was actually Mr. Hearst’s personal library and executive board room. www.hearstcastle.org/

A diverse group of guests paid their respects to former first lady Nancy Reagan at her funeral service Friday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. In addition to family, the crowd included first lady Michelle Obama, former first ladies Hillary Clinton, Rosalynn Carter and Laura Bush (along with her husband, former President George W. Bush), former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and a number of TV actors who were big during the Reagan Administration, including Mr. T and Tom Selleck. Prior to the funeral, more than 5,000 members of the public paid their respects at her casket over a period of two days. The former first lady, who died Sunday at age 94, will be buried next to Ronald Reagan, who died in 2004.
