What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in San Clemente
Early rules here required white stucco and red tile, and plenty of those historic homes still stand near downtown, some with old masonry. Later neighborhoods lean on metal and gas units instead. A report separates those two worlds in its opening line. Direct Pacific frontage means marine layer and cool summers along the shore, while eastern hills warm and dry. Rust tends to win near the water, with crowns also exposed to rain. Faults lie out to sea, so cracks still get logged.
