Audrey Geisel University House, University chancellor residence in La Jolla, San Diego, US.
The 12,000 square foot house stands on a cliff overlooking Black's Beach, the Scripps Coastal Reserve, and the Pacific Ocean.
William Lumpkins designed this Pueblo Revival residence in 1950, constructing it with unreinforced adobe for William and Ruth Black until 1967.
The property includes a prehistoric Native American village site and cemetery of great significance to the Kumeyaay people of the region.
The residence serves dual functions as the chancellor's home and a venue for university events, following a $10 million renovation completed in 2013.
The property contains archaeological remains and artifacts dating back 10,000 years beneath its foundation, requiring specialized preservation methods.
