This 1937 gem was originally built by Ropp & Mackey, one of Laguna’s premier builders in the 1920s and 1930s. Roy Ropp, co-founder of the company, also was the founder of the Pageant of the Masters. Ropp & Mackey also designed many of the city’s iconic structures, including the Heisler Building, Laguna Presbyterian Church and the Laguna Beach County Water District building. It has been painstakingly restored and updated by Clark Collins, owner of Collins Design and Development based in Laguna Beach. Using quality craftspeople and materials, Collins and his team are reshaping classic homes in Laguna. This cottage retains its historic charm while still having all modern amenities. An open house for this home is set for Saturday, May 11, from 1-4 p.m.
