As part of this year’s celebration of the women who shaped Carmel’s architectural legacy, the Carmel Heritage Society and the American Institute of Architects Monterey Bay Chapter invite the community to a special screening of Julia Morgan, Architect of Dreams, a documentary on the life and work of pioneering architect Julia Morgan.

Morgan’s work resonates deeply on the Monterey Peninsula. She designed the beloved Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, as well as the Dr. Emma W. Pope House overlooking the Carmel Mission—one of the residences featured on this year’s Carmel House Tour. Though best known for Hearst Castle at San Simeon, Morgan devoted much of her career to buildings that served and uplifted women, including numerous YWCA facilities and structures at Mills College.
The screening of Julia Morgan, Architect of Dreams is presented as a companion event to the 32nd Annual Carmel House Tour, themed “Designing Women,” which takes place Saturday, July 18. Buy tickets at carmelheritage.org; $50 presale and $60 on the day of the Tour. House docent volunteers are still needed and will receive a free ticket. Contact [email protected] to sign-up.
