"Five years in the making, Amy Irene Strong completed this structure in the small town of Ramona, 45 minutes from downtown, in 1921. The unique Craftsman-style 12,000-square-foot dwelling was originally designed by Strong herself, a prominent San Diego socialite and dress designer. Owned by many throughout the years, it is now the property of Mt. Woodson Golf Club and serves as a frequent site for weddings and special events. Now used as the administration office, the building can be viewed during operating hours (by appointment only)."

Amy Strong's name is sometimes given as Irene Amy Strong; at others as Amy Irene Strong.
