Heisler Park, Laguna Beach..

Boy and Dog - by Ruth Peabody
City of Laguna Beach, 1933..

Oliver playing Sitar..
[Oliver - Guess that's what he told, his name was]

The bunglows of Laguna Beach- North

Heritage Cottage..
495 Jasmine /1922
Among the most well preserved Laguna bunglow this one with the Colonial Revival entry remains today as a beautiful living example of the early housing styles. What was originally a modest bunglow, has matured over the years into a lovely, but unchanged, bunglow home today.

Heritage Cottage
383 Magnolia/ 1919..
This simple frame bunglow with humble colonial entry is typical of the houses which came to dot the north end of the Laguna. Today, it is typical of the houses which add an air of village charm to the neighborhood..

Landmark Bldg.

Loved Laguna Beach. Wish I had more time to write, but have to move on now...
