The proposed historic designation of the La Jolla home of the late Walter Munk, renowned for his research at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, has the support of the La Jolla Shores Association.
The board this week unanimously approved sending a letter to the secretary of the State Historical Resources Commission, which will hear the nomination for historical designation April 30, indicating that LJSA “strongly supports” the proposal.

The tree’s roots raised the ground about eight feet, damaging the guest house roof, compromising its foundation and breaking some underground lines Jan. 26.
Munk died in February 2019 at age 101, but his widow, Mary Coakley Munk, has been living in the main house.
She said she wasn’t in the guest house when the tree toppled and didn’t know anything was amiss until she couldn’t turn on the water around 6:15 a.m.
