It was one of the earliest architect-designed residences in Carmel and an early application of the English cottage style there, which helped shape the town's image. It retains remarkable integrity in its design and setting.","narrative":"Outlands is a two-story English Cottage house in the Tudor Revival style on a hillside at 25800 Hatton Road in Carmel By-the-Sea. Architect Henry Higby Gutterson of San Francisco designed it in 1924 for real estate developer Paul Flanders, and it was built in 1924-25. Its walls are made of locally produced, precast interlocking Thermotite concrete blocks laid as a cavity wall, advertised as fireproof and waterproof. A steep tile roof, copper and lead flashing, redwood details and Tudor-arched entries complete the design. Gutterson sited the house to frame views of the Carmel Valley, the Mission and the bay, and those views remain. The building is regarded as one of the earliest architect-designed residences in Carmel and an early local use of the English cottage mode, which helped establish the village's storybook image. The city acquired the property in 1972, and it now sits within Mission Trails Park.","period_of_significance":"1924-1925","architect_builder":"Gutterson, Henry Higby; Ruhl, Frederick","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival; Other: English Cottage","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Acquired by the City of Carmel By-the-Sea in 1972 and part of Mission Trails Park; grounds maintained by the City Forester and staff.
