The teahouse was part of a small project called The Japanese Tea Gar­ den. The teahouse was bullt on WllUam "Bathhouse" Smith's property at Lover's Point overlooking a newly formed beach cove. Mr. Smith formed the cove by using dynamite to blast away the rocky coastline. At that time, the citizens of Pacific Grove ob­ jected to the defacing of the natural rocky area. The Tea Garden was financed by a Mr. Noda of New Monterey. The teahouse was constructed by Kohachi Handa who was also the architect. Handa, a carpenter from Japan, bullt the entire structure without a nail. The teahouse served tea and rice cakes for ten cents. Another building had a display il­ lustrating ancient Japanese warfare cos­ tumes. When their lease expired in 1918, the City would not renew it.
