Lummis Builds Eccentric Mountain Home in Arroyo Seco
Charles F. Lummis, famed author and Out West editor, has built a unique three acre retreat among old sycamores in the Arroyo Seco outskirts of Los Angeles. The granite walls and unhewn oak girders form a rugged, four foot thick exterior with a circular tower and random windows. The upper level is a single room reached by an outside stair, creating a remarkable, handmade dwelling reflecting Lummis’s tireless, idiosyncratic craft.
