Located in the mountains above San Bernardino is a surprising enclave of
significant architecture built by some of the region's most important
architects. The Lake Arrowhead area was long a getaway for the rich and
famous, who brought many of the architects they used down the mountain
to design their hidden hideaways on their own private lake. Things have
changed since the golden age of building, and the area, while still
private, is enjoyed by a far broader sector of the population. Yet the
legacy of that early architecture and the transformation into a modern
resort community is still intact and enjoyed by new generations of
mountain residents. This book explores the area's architecture from its
early history as a logging and cattle ranching community to its
flourishing as a secret hideaway for the Hollywood crowd to its current
status as a mountain resort for Southern Californians.
