The Adamson House at Malibu State Beach and Point Dume have been designated California Historical Landmarks, and Malibu Pier has been named a county Point of Historical Interest by the California Historical Resources Commission.
The designations were reached through the joint efforts of the Malibu Historical Society and the Malibu Lagoon Museum.
The Adamson House, designed by Stiles O. Clements and built in 1929 in the Moorish-Spanish Colonial revival style, is considered a showcase of California ceramic art and craftsmanship. It contains what are considered the most significant remaining examples of the decorative ceramic tile produced by Malibu potteries between 1926 and 1932.
