It is a pastoral public park open to the public most days of the year, and can spark the imagination, pique the curiosity and intrigue the visitor during their time spent at the Mansion and beyond. The Friends of Greystone work tirelessly to honor the significant architectural contribution that Greystone Mansion makes as one of the few great houses of the Gilded Age of American architecture to survive relatively intact in Southern California. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Greystone Mansion is considered to be among California’s most luxurious residences south of Hearst Castle. The Friends of Greystone is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization founded to preserve and enhance Greystone Mansion, as well as promote ongoing activities for the enjoyment and enrichment of the public.
