CLUE # 3: Who is This Man?

 
The intaglio in the above photo is the other intaglio on the south facade of the building; this intaglio depicts Junipero Serra, carved by artist Paul Whitman Posted by Picasa

This building, associated with this man, is on the City's Inventory of Historic Resources under Criterion #3 of the California Register due to the following three reasons:

1. It is the only 1930s Art Deco Style building in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

2. It was designed by noted local architect C. J. Ryland, who also designed the original Sunset Auditorium.

3. The intaglios depicting Junipero Serra by Paul Whitman, an important local artist, are intact.
