Carmel has many quaint cottages. Especially on Scenic drive.
Often with whimsical wavy roofs, reminiscent of JRR Tolkien. This style follows the tradition established by Hugh Comstock and his building on Torres and 6th Ave.
Great attention is given to naming the cottages, and there are no street numbers in Carmel. Besides their names, the addresses are georaphical descriptions. Such as, 4 Sw of Ocean.
