Mrs. Clinton Walker House (Aka Cabin on the Rocks),
Carmel Point, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California,
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright,
The Usonian-style cottage was designed in 1945-1951and completed in 1952-1956 for Mrs. Clinton “Della” Walker of Pebble Beach.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed the house to resemble a ship’s bow on the water making use of the reef. Although it was enlarged in 1956 to 130 square meters (1400sq. ft.), initially, it was 92,9 sqm (1,000 sq. ft.) with three bedrooms, three baths, a kitchen and a 37,2 sqm (400 sq. ft.) living area.
In 1956, a studio addition was designed by Mr Wright for Ms Walker’s craftwork and weaving at the southeast corner of the building. The plans were eventually used to make way for an expanded primary bedroom in 1960
The house made the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
