What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Laguna Beach
Over a quarter of homes here predate 1950, including art colony cottages with brick or stone chimneys that deserve careful handling. Newer custom houses vary from masonry to gas. Every report states what the chimney is made of before saying anything about its condition. The 1993 fire destroyed 441 homes, and salt air rusts every cap near the water. Slopes have also failed here, with slides recorded at Bluebird Canyon, so reports cover ember mesh, rust and any movement in the chimney.
