Description
California Coastal Chic!
Deemed "the last intact example of California beach vernacular architecture" in the National Register of Historic Places, the rustic California beach community of Crystal Cove has been a playground for silent film-makers, landscape painters, tent campers, , beachcombers, and families who built and lived in its handmade cottages.
CRYSTAL COVE COTTAGES is the first book to tell the rich history of this unique community from its earliest days to its modern status as a California State Park.
Replete with dozens of paintings, as well as archival and full-color original photographs and ten sidebars focusing on some of the key cottages and sites CRYSTAL COVE COTTAGES presents a rich visual history of this "island in time".
