Adamson House, Historic mansion in Malibu, United States
The Adamson House presents Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with steel-reinforced concrete construction, teak woodwork, and handpainted ceilings throughout its ten rooms.
Built in 1930 for Rhoda Rindge Adamson, the residence remained her home until 1962, when her heirs proposed transforming the 13-acre property into a beach resort.
The residence exhibits intricate Malibu tiles produced at May K. Rindge's local factory, where ceramic engineer Rufus Keeler led over 100 artisans in creating decorative pieces.
The California Historical Landmark offers guided tours through its preserved rooms and gardens, allowing visitors to explore the architectural details and family history.
During World War II, the United States Coast Guard utilized the property's bathhouse as a headquarters for monitoring the Malibu coastline.
