History
The Lodge at Pebble Beach went through various names changes. It was first called the Pebble Beach Lodge. After a fire it was reconstructed and the name changed to Del Monte Lodge. Today the lodge is called The Lodge at Pebble Beach.
Pebble Beach Lodge
The Lodge at Pebble Beach, dates to 1908 when architect Lewis P. Hobart[1] of San Mateo, California, was hired by the Pacific Improvement Company (PIC) to design the Pebble Beach Lodge. A. D. Shepard was brought on as property manager. The rustic Log cabin style inn was built of huge timbers cut from the nearby forests. Pebble Beach and the one-story inn was announced in The San Francisco Call on May 28, 1909, with new roads that access the lodge and surrounding 17-Mile Drive.[2] The official opening of the Pebble Beach Lodge was reported on August 29, 1909, with a gala event at the new clubhouse. A dinner and dance at the lodge included guests William Henry Crocker and Templeton Crocker as well as other society guests. During the day, professional and amateure golfers participaged in a thirty-six-hole medal competition worth $295 (equivalent to $10,004 in 2023).[3]
The lodge, featured hotel staff, private patios, and a wide log pergola, positioned halfway along 17-Mile Drive, overlooking Pebble Beach and Carmel Bay. The main assembly hall was 35 by 70 feet (11 by 21 m) wide and had massive granite rock fireplaces at each end. A line of electirc 20-passenger automobiles ran from Pacific Grove the Pebble Beach Lodge. A tavern and full kitchen supplied food and drink, and later, cottages could be rented for overnight guests. Operated under the same management as the Hotel Del Monte, food service was available at all hours, including fresh local abalone chowder. The lodge was built as the community center for the wealthy residents of the Del Monte Forest, and was popular as a rest stop for 17-Mile Drive motorists. Sparkling water is taken from the Carmel River and stored in a 140,000,00 gallon reservoir.
Samuel Finley Brown Morse was hired in the 1910s to manage the PIC. In 1916, Morse convinced the PIC to create a golf course at the edge of Pebble Beach and Stillwater Cove.
Fire and Del Monte Lodge
On December 26, 1917, the Pebble Beach lodge drive was burned to the ground. The fire started in the kitchen from the eruption of an oil furnace. The loss was estimated at $50,000 (equivalent to $1,189,091 in 2023).[6] A new larger structure, at a cost of estimated at $200,000 (equivalent to $4,051,327 in 2023), replaced it called the Del Monte Lodge. PIC decided to dismantle the old El Carmelo Hotel and use the wood to reconstruct the new Del Monte Lodge. Thirty rooms were be incorporated into the building making it a small hotel. R. J. McCabe was the new manager.[7]
Morse formed the Del Monte Properties Company on February 27, 1919, and acquired the extensive holdings of the PIC, which included the Del Monte Forest, the Del Monte Lodge and the Hotel Del Monte. The lodge was expanded with offices and a shopping arcade.[8] Hobart worked with Clarence Tantau to create a luxurious multi-story hotel, and Hobart designed a signature "Roman Plunge" pool to the east of the hotel.[8]
The golf course and the new lodge held a grand opening on February 22, 1919. On February 24, 1919, the opening of Del Monte Lodge was the social event of the week. A dinner dance was given at Del Monte Lodge to celebrate the opening of the new resort.[9]
