Mrs. Clinton Walker House, Historic residence at Carmel Point, US

The Mrs. Clinton Walker House is a 1,200-square-foot single-story beach house on granite boulders at Carmel Point, built with local Carmel stone and a blue-green roof shaped like a ship. Its concrete floor is divided into hexagonal honeycomb-like 120-degree angles, and three rooms open completely to ocean views. The living-dining room centers on a floor-to-ceiling fireplace with built-in furniture, and window frames are painted Cherokee Red.

In 1918 Willis J. Walker and his wife bought 216 acres in Carmel-by-the-Sea. In the 1940s Della Walker's sister deeded her an oceanfront lot on condition that a noted architect design the house; Wright was commissioned in 1948 and the house was completed in 1952. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 17, 1977.

The residence appears in the 1959 film A Summer Place and received registration in the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

The residence can be viewed from the exterior, with windows featuring painted frames in a distinctive reddish tone serving as a recognizable feature. The waterfront location offers a direct experience of the site's position on the rocky point.

This residence represents Frank Lloyd Wright's sole design directly facing the ocean, featuring an unusual shape inspired by a ship's bow. The singular design was an adaptation to the exposed location on the point, with the Pacific Ocean as the immediate setting.
