Her next area project was a small vacation house for Theodore Columbus White, located in Carmel-by-the-Sea at Carmelo and 15th Streets (southwest comer) and built in 1914-15. In 1915-16, Morgan designed a cottage for Mr. W. T. Beatty on Live Oak Meadow Road in Pebble Beach. In 1923 she was commissioned to design a residence for Mrs. Edward Lacey Brayton at Ronda and Cortez Roads, also in Pebble Beach. She had designed two previous residences for this family, the first in 1909 in Oakland and another in 1912 on Mountain Avenue in Piedmont. In 1928, Morgan was commissioned to develop studies for a proposed church to replace Monterey’s San Carlos Cathedral, also known as the Royal Presidio Chapel. Built in 1794, this is the oldest building still standing in Monterey. It appears that this project did not advance beyond early schematic sketches. In 1939, Morgan made alterations on a house in Monterey for James N. Parsons. Her last work in the area, in 1940, was a residence designed for Drs. Charles and Emma Wightman Pope at 2981 Franciscan Way in Carmel-by-the-Sea.11 The most noteworthy monument to Julia Morgan’s presence on the Monterey Peninsula is surely the Asilomar Conference Grounds, put under the care ofthe California State Parks System in 1958 and subsequently placed on the Federal Registry ofNational Landmarks. This masterpiece, as well as the various houses and cottages that she designed here, are testimony to her conviction that “my buildings will speak for me long after I am gone.”12 11Office archives identify a home in Carmel Valley, 1941, for Joe Willicomb, Mr. William Hearst’s secretary. No other information is currently available on the address or status of this home. Julia Morgan design ‘attributions’ have been made for the Cooper House at 1008 Franklin Street, for the Moorish Mediterranean revival home at 580 El Dorado Street and for the cottage at 1086 Hellam Street, Monterey, but no archival records have been located to date for any ofthese dwellings. 12Susanna Reiss, op cit, Vol. 1, pg. 94. 12 Bibliography Boutelle, Sara Holmes: Julia Morgan, Architect, Abbeville Press, 1988.
