Description

The Adamson House offers a variety of things to visitors. Not only is it an exquisite example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, it offers guests picturesque views over the town of Malibu and across the Pacific Ocean. The Adamson House, however, is most known for its artistic ceramic tiles that were crafted by Malibu Potteries. Both the house and tiles were designed in 1930, for Rhoda Rindge Adamson and husband Merritt Huntley Adamson. You can tour the home today thanks to the Malibu Historical Society, who fought to save the house from being turned into a parking lot. The home, and its original housewares and art, are now on the National Register of Historic Places list.
