Carpenter Hall at Sunset Center, Carmel

The founding of Carmel-by-the-Sea is a story of vision, perseverance, and a deep appreciation for the natural world and the arts. James Franklin Devendorf, along with his partner Frank H. Powers, played a pivotal role in shaping the community into the unique and beloved town it is today. Through their efforts, they created a haven for artists and nature lovers, a place where the built environment exists in harmony with the natural landscape.

Join Jack Galante, founder of Galante Vineyards and great-grandson of James Devendorf, as he explores what brought Devendorf to Carmel and the connection he formed with the community. Artifacts from the collection of the Henry Meade Williams Local History Room at the Carmel Public Library will be on exhibit.
