The Carr’s celebrated their family home’s 100th birthday on August 4. The house was the 7th house permitted on the Peninsula. It was built in 1924 and designed by architects David J. Winter and Loyall F. Watson. Winter and Watson were renowned for designing homes that recognized the relationship between architecture and its environment. The home is next to the historic Malaga Cove Library and has a rich history. The downstairs was a doctor’s office in the 1920s. A detached apartment still has its 1920s heritage tiles, and an “ice-box” refrigerator, where the iceman used to deliver ice for the “refrigerator” and the milkman would deliver dairy. It’s a product of an earlier, simpler time and a hallmark of traditional, old-Spanish, Palos Verdes Peninsula architecture. Family and friends enjoyed appetizers prepared by Sophisticated Spreads.
