Review:
The Murphy-Smith Historical Bungalow is an outstanding example of a slice of Laguna Beach history. Managed by the Laguna Beach Historical Society, the bungalow is steeped in history, and visitors can enjoy a docent-led tour of the building and learn about life in Laguna Beach in the early 1920s.
Built for the Murphy family in 1923, the bungalow is a typical example of a builder's cottage of that era, complete with multi-gabled roof, clapboard siding, and a porch gable.
The cottage lived through two World Wars and is packed with memorabilia, photographs, and items from its long and fascinating history.
