Lewis P. Hobart

Lewis Parsons Hobart (January 14, 1873 – October 19, 1954) was an American architect, whose designs included San Francisco's Grace Cathedral and Macy's Union Square, several California Academy of Sciences buildings,[1] and the 511 Federal Building in Portland, Oregon.

He received bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, and studied at the American Academy in Rome and the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

The rustic Log cabin style inn was built of huge timbers cut from the nearby forests.

Pebble Beach and the one-story lodge were announced in The San Francisco Call on May 28, 1909, with new roads that access the inn and surrounding 17-Mile Drive.

[4][5] Hobart became the first President of the San Francisco Arts Commission in 1932 and was also appointed to the Board of Architects for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition.
