The Beach House
This is a family memoir consisting of conversations, historic photographs, regional and natural history, and anecdotes all which document the story of the building of an architecturally unique house that became a local landmark dubbed the Witches House located in Laguna Beach, California. The house was included in the city's 1981 Historic Resources Inventory and was deemed eligible for the National Registry of Historic Places (#21). The designer and builder of the Beach House is the author's grandfather E. Vernon Barker, who went on to be a principal architect and planner of the UCLA Medical Center complex (1944-1966). Her grandaunt Bertha S Barker, of Riverside, California, instigated and financed the project. They began building in 1925, but as Mr. Barker noted in 1976, "...and it's not done yet!" This multi-generational family story of the unusual elements, both interior and exterior, is told in detail using transcribed conversations of the Barker siblings recorded by the author in 1976 when the elders were in their eighties, and with photographs from 1925 through the 1980s culled from family albums. Historic and current photographs of the exquisitely beautiful Pacific Ocean coves of Laguna Beach are included
