Description:
This was a Tiki Bar/Mexican Restaurant that opened November 15, 1961 and operated until about 1978. These tikis were carved during the Golden Age of California Tiki and most are 7-8 feet tall. The restaurant owner and tiki carver, Ben Wilson, has converted the building into a house and still lives there.

This building was intended as a gift shop but I don't believe it was ever used as one.
