Tor House and Hawk Tower

Tor House and Hawk Tower is the historic home in Carmel, California of poet, Robinson Jeffers and his family from 1919 until 1999. Here, Jeffers wrote all his major works of poetry. Construction of Tor House began in 1919 and was completed by 1924, with Jeffers acting as the stonemason's apprentice. With the skills he learned in the construction of Tor House, Jeffers began work on Hawk Tower in 1920, completing the structure in 1924. The Tor House Foundation was established in 1978 to oversee the Tor House and Hawk Tower as a museum. The property was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2024.
