**Although the historic Benbow Inn was designed by architect Albert Farr, archival records in the Julia Morgan Papers connect Morgan to a 1926 Margaret Stewart project in Garberville. In Morgan’s client index, the project appears in association with the Hotel Benbow property. This distinction suggests that Morgan’s work was tied to Stewart’s private estate at Redwood Grove, rather than to the main Benbow Inn hotel building.
