T.A. Oakes Building, Spanish Revival building in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, United States.
The T.A. Oakes Building is a commercial structure in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea with Spanish Revival design elements. It features stucco walls, red tile roofs, and arched openings that are typical of California buildings from that era.
Architect Thomas W. Morgan designed this structure in 1922 during the period when Carmel was establishing its distinctive character. The building received official historical designation, marking its importance to the town's architectural story.
This building reflects the architectural choices that shaped downtown Carmel during its development as an arts community in the early 1900s. Its design became a model for other structures in the area.
This building sits in the heart of downtown, making it easy to visit on foot while exploring the area. The exterior is visible from the street, so you can view the architecture without needing special access.
The structure successfully blends its original Spanish Colonial exterior with active modern commercial use inside. This mix of historical character and contemporary function offers a glimpse into how Carmel preserves its past while remaining a living community.
