Gracing this setting on the American Riviera is a premier Spanish Revival residence designed by noted architect Anna Louise Murphy Vhay (Ramirez Adobe, El Caseria) as her personal residence. The article describes...with ''it's beauty smiling down upon them...this home is one of the showplaces of the country 'round about and adds distinction to the remainder of the tract.'' The home was submitted by Anna Vhay to an architectural competition in House Beautiful. In 1948, the famed architect Lutah Maria Riggs remodeled aspects of the home. This home has a pedigree!
