His routine was to work on his poetry in the mornings and to work on his building projects, such as Hawk Tower and expanding Tor House, in the afternoons. He lived out the rest of his life in Tor House, while continuing to add on to it. The Carmel area's influence in Robinson Jeffers' work becomes apparent in his poems such as his work “The Purse Seine,” a poem about the local fishing industry. He described the land he chose as the site for the house as being like a "prow and plunging cutwater” of a ship. Jeffers named it "Tor" house after the type of ground on which the house was situated, a rocky outcrop known as a "tor". Jeffers began construction on Tor House in 1919 and with the aid of a stonemason completed it in the same year. 26304 Ocean View Ave., Carmel, California
