A Castle in Glendora you say? Well, this is Michael Rubel's Castle and he
spent 26 years building his dream castle. In building the castle they took car
parts, motorcycle parts and almost anything you can think of and stuck them
into the walls of the castle built from river rock. We visited this in 2008
and at that time Michael was still alive. |

They had a video you watch by Huell Howser where he interviewed Michael and
it was really funny. Michael was a happy go lucky guy .. his outlook on
life as a child was let's build a fort and as an adults.. hey lets build a
castle. I like that... let's build a fort... |
