●City Hall
Monte Verde St., between Ocean and 7th aves., 831-620-2000. M-F 8am-5pm.
This rustic City Hall building is probably most famous for once being known as “Clint’s Place.” That was for the period of 1986 to 1988 when actor/director Clint Eastwood was city mayor. His campaign was built on "Bringing the Community Together," and people did enjoy having him in office.

This historic house was moved here from a few blocks away. The First Murphy House was the first of more than 300 town structures built by M.J. Murphy. Located at the edge of First Murphy Park, it features historic town exhibits and a growing research library. Outside in front is an unusual weathered-wood milk shrine that was used until the 1950s.
