FOUNDING FATHER James Franklin Devendorf had a vision for Carmel, one where artists and writers could live and create in a natural landscape. Together with his business partner Frank Powers, the real estate developer launched the downtown area of Carmel in 1902. Before the city was incorporated in 1916, Devendorf planted pine trees as a divider on the street that would eventually become Ocean Avenue. Devendorf’s great-grandson, Jack Galante, who is the founder of Galante Vineyards in Carmel, shares the history behind what brought Devendorf to the area and how he played a major role in shaping the community into what it is today. The talk is part of the Carmel Public Library Foundation’s Henry Meade Williams Local History Lecture Series. [EC] 7pm Wednesday, Sept. 25. Carpenter Hall at Sunset Cultural Center, San Carlos Street and 9th Avenue, Carmel. Free; $10 donation suggested. carmelpubliclibraryfoundation.org.
