Review:
Tor House was built for the legendary Californian poet Robinson Jeffers in the early 1900’s, using local granite stones from the Carmel Bay coastline. Located on a beautiful but isolated promontory, Tor House became home to the poet and his family, and is where the greatest volume of his poetry was composed. The Hank Tower was constructed by Jeffers himself to provide a retreat for his wife and a magical place for his twin sons to enjoy. Today the property is run as a museum and a tribute to one of the state’s most prolific poets. It is open to the public for guided tours every Saturday and for Music Tours on occasional Friday evenings.
