History
In 1918, writer Herbert Heron opened the first Seven Arts bookstore, selling books, art materials, poetry, and antiques near the Forest Theater, which he founded in 1910.[1][2]
In 1923, Heron commissioned Michael J. Murphy to build the Seven Arts Shop for he and Helena Conger at a new located on Ocean Avenue and Monte Verde Street, next to Edward G. Kuster's Carmel Weavers Studio.[3][4]
In September 1925, The Seven Arts store moved again to a larger Seven Arts Building on Ocean Avenue and Lincoln Street.[5] He hired architect Albert B. Coats and builder Percy Parkes to build the Tudor Revival-style, building that included plans for an art gallery and frame shop. George & Catherine Seideneck did the original interior decoration. The building is a one-and-one-half-story, cement-block framed Tudor-style commercial building. The exterior wall is textured cement stucco. It has a steep pitched cross-gabled roof, and three brick chimneys. An open wood staircase, leads up to an open balcony, supported by wood posts and a rail, which has access to shops on the upper floor.[6][7][8]
The Seven Arts Building became a popular meeting place for the many Bohemian artists and writers in Carmel including George Sterling, Mary Austin, and Jack London.[9][10]
