"The building is
commonly known as the "Mushroom House", although the actual name for it
is the Pavilion. The home was built and designed by Dale Naegle in 1968,
for Sam Bell of Bell's Potato Chips. Bell had purchased a summer home
overlooking the Pacific Ocean and wanted to add a guest house. The
property included a 300 foot cliff, and below was an isolated beach only
accessible at low tide through rugged rocks.
