Joe Munroe Archive
Description: A photograph taken by Joe Munroe of ""Hearst Castle"" in California. The home was built by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst in 1919, on the Hearst's expansive ranch. It was designed by Julia Morgan and is a favorite of many celebrity guests. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work. View on Ohio Memory.
