The lavish use of exquisite ceramic tile, produced by Malibu Potteries (1926-32), is a hallmark of the house. Additional architectural notes include: hand-carved teak doors, filagree ironwork and lead-framed bottle-glass windows. The house and grounds share one of the most beautiful beach locations in Southern California. Gorgeous views are afforded the visitor: Malibu Lagoon, Malibu Beach and the Malibu Pier. |
