Forge in the Forest Built for Francis Whitaker, an internationally known ironsmith, the Forge's bar displays his original tools and many early photos. Mr. Whitaker used The Forge to produce much of the hand-wrought hardware (hinges, door latches, sign holders, etc.) that still adorns many of the historic buildings in Carmel. The actual anvil, vise, and hearth used by Mr. Whitaker, as well as photographs of him and the original Forge building, are on display inside the current Forge in the Forest Saloon. Artist and writer Henry Miller and the internationally renowned writer, John Steinbeck were frequent visitors who met with other locals inside The Forge, to drink, tell stories and talk. The Grapes of Wrath novel was reported to have been inspired inside The Forge as a result of one such meeting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6823cdc50f5f1773d616bc7b/542a59ff-a40d-4a94-ad46-3a831ccd753d/chs_fire_station.png History & Places 20.

Carmel Drug Store This complex of stores was built in 1907. In 1925 the city passed an ordinance restricting the size and style of signs. All signs not conforming were removed.
