Tuck Box, Historic commercial building in Carmel-by-the-Sea, United States.

The Tuck Box is a one-and-a-half-story commercial building in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, built in the Craftsman Storybook style with a steep shingled roof and a wood frame. Its rough textured stucco walls carry exposed faux half-timber posts and beams, and an irregular eight-panel French-style wooden door sits at the front. A three-sided bay window with a candy-striped awning hangs over the entrance, and a Carmel stone marker lies below it.

Hugh W. Comstock built The Tuck Box in 1926 for Bonnie Lee at a cost of $1,200. The one-and-a-half-story commercial building was recorded with the California Department of Parks and Recreation on October 8, 2002. Comstock reused an uneven clinker-brick chimney he had made for his 1924 Hansel doll house.

The Tuck Box has operated as an English tea room, and its name refers to a box for carrying food. The building was constructed for Bonnie Lee in 1926 at a cost of $1,200. A striped candy awning over the three-sided bay window marks the entrance today.

A Carmel stone sits below the front bay window, and a door on the right leads to a central courtyard.
