Overview
The Clinton Walker House (“Cabin on the Rocks”) on Carmel Point is a Frank Lloyd Wright design from 1948–1951 that looks like a ship’s bow cutting through the waves, built of Carmel stone on granite boulders. It is the only Wright house overlooking the ocean, and is on the National Register of Historic Places, though it is a private residence best seen from the street.
