Description	View 5: Once a renowned seaside resort and hotel, Casa de Man~ana opened in 1924 and quickly became the social hub of La Jolla. Mrs. Isabel Morrison Hopkins had Casa de Man~ana built on land that offered a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean and the picturesque coastline of La Jolla at a cost of $250,000.00. The year-round resort was designed by architect Edgar V. Ullrich in Spanish-style architecture and was constructed of gray cement and red tile. It boasted picturesque arches, tiled roofs, sweeping staircases, a grand ballroom, a Spanish-style courtyard with handcrafted tile fountain, an 18-hole golf course, 6 tennis courts, and offered horseback riding, ocean bathing and boating, exquisite accommodations and world-class cuisine. In 1953 Mrs. Hopkins sold the hotel, which in turn became a luxurious retirement community with 108 charter members in residence. Isabel Morrison Hopkins died three years later, in 1956, at the age of 70. Edgar Vaughn Ullrich's work in the San Diego region is monumental, and although he designed structures in a variety of styles, he is probably best recognized for his Spanish Colonial Revival designs. Edgar Vaughn Ullrich passed away on March 8, 1958.
