Home of the Day: French Normandy Revival style in Laguna Beach

This restored French Normandy Revival-style residence in Laguna Beach sits on a property originally owned by Harry M. Ticknor, President of the Tournament of Roses in the early 1920s. Built by prominent developers Ropp & Mackey in the 1940s, the home retains many of its original details including the beamed cathedral-style ceilings, oak flooring and double-hung wood windows. Updates such as a wood-paneled wet bar with soapstone counters, a stone fireplace and wrought iron chandeliers are in keeping with the period.
