Historic Homes and Inns of Carmel-by-the-Sea showcases the creativity; talent; and originality of the town�s residents; designers; and builders over a span of 80 years; from the pioneering days of the 1880s through the more contemporary ones of the 1960s. One-of-a-kind creations by top-name architects Frank Lloyd Wright; Julia Morgan; Charles Greene; Albert Farr; Gardner Dailey; Henry Hill; and Mark Mills are featured. The designs by the three most influential people who shaped Carmel-by-the-Sea architecturally in its first half-century are well-represented: M.J. Murphy; who literally built the town; with hundreds of homes and buildings to his credit; Hugh Comstock; who defined it with his storybook cottages that gave the village its fairy-tale charm; and Jon Konigshofer; who modernized it through his trademarked; postwar Hillside House. Throughout its history; Carmel-by-the-Sea; California; has attracted unique; spirited; and sometimes eclectic individuals; and this is reflected in its architecture. In combination with the breathtaking beauty; remarkable scenery; and coastal setting; these historic homes and inns give the village its distinct look and make it unlike any place else.
