The Hacienda del Pozo de Verona was a mansion designed by architect A. C. Schweinfurth for philanthropist Phoebe Hearst in the Amador Valley near Pleasanton, California.[1] The Hacienda was originally built between 1894 and 1898, with substantial later additions designed by architect Julia Morgan.[2] The design of the Hacienda combined Mission, Pueblo, and Moorish architectural styles. It was destroyed by fire in 1969.[3]

A railroad station named Hacienda (or Hearst) was built on the Western Pacific Railroad to serve the estate.[4]
