THE CITY COUNCIL FINDS AND DETERMINES AS FOLLOWS:

B. The Sandcliff Garden Apartment Homes Homeowners Association (SGAH) in conjunction with the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation (PSPF) filed an application with the City for historic district designation of the Sandcliff Garden Apartment Homes condominium complex pursuant to PSMC Chapter 8.05.

Resolution No. 23963
H. On February 3, 2016, the City Council conducted a public hearing in accordance with applicable law to consider historic district designation of the Sandcliff Garden Apartment Condominiums.
I. The proposed historic d:str!Gt designation is considered e projeci. pursuant to th~ terms of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA} and has been determined to be Categorically Exempt from further evaluation under CEQA as a Class 31 exemption (historic resources restoration / rehabilitation) pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines.
J. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8.05.160, the City Council, in evaluating a historic district application, must find that the designation of the site or district supports or furthers the purpose of the historic preservation ordinance. As stated in Section
8.05.010, "Purpose and Authority" the Historic Preservation ordinance is " ... For the purpose of preserving areas and specific buildings of the city which reflect elements of its cultural, social, economic, political, architectural and archaeological history. This chapter is intended to stabilize and improve buildings, structures or areas which are considered to be of historical, architectural, archaeological or ecological value, to foster civic beauty, to strengthen the local economy and to promote the use of specific buildings for the education and welfare of the citizens." The Sandcliff Garden Apartment Condominium complex (SGAC) reflect elements of the City's cultural and architectural history as explained in the defining criteria outlined below including being representative of a particular period in local history and embodying distinctive characteristics of a building type and architectural style. The proposed designation of the Sandcliff complex as a historic district is supported because it imbues aspects of the cultural, social, economic and architectural history and development of the City. It possesses a high-degree of integrity in terms of its ability to convey its historic significance in the context of the social and physical development of Palm Springs and the modern period of architecture for which Palm Springs is well known. Therefore the proposed historic district designation conforms to the required finding.
K. Pursuant to Municipal Code Chapter 8.05.020 ('Definitions'), in order for an area within the City to be considered for possible historic district designation, it must contain a number of structures, natural features or sites that possess " ... historic, architectural, archaeological, cultural or aesthetic significance.".
The City Council finds that the Sandcliff Garden Apartment Condominiums Historic District possesses a number of structures and features that possess historic, Item 1I - Page 9
Resolution No. 23963
Page3
architectural, cultural and aesthetic significance as defined in the following criteria outlined in PSMC 8.05.020:
Criteria #3. That reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national. ste!s c.-Joclil hi:;tory;
The buildings within the proposed Sandcliff Historic District reflect the Modern Period in local architectural history; specifically the period of significance proposed is from the early 1950's to the late 1960's. It was during this period that the City of Palm Springs, in response to rapid population growth following World War 11, studied the inventory of housing types that existed in the city and began establishing more multi-family zoning designations in many of the open, undeveloped parts of the city. This in turn encouraged a greater variety of housing types, including garden style apartments to be developed.
The development of the garden apartments at Sandcliff are a response to the significant increases in growth in population that Palm Springs was experiencing after World War II and the shortage of high quality, affordable housing stock. As noted on page 10 of the historic resource report, from 1950 to 1956, the population in Palm Springs grew by an astonishing 60%. The City responded to this dramatic increase in population by creating more medium and high-density residential zones and in turn, developers responded by producing literally hundreds of garden style homes and multi family apartment and condominium complexes. The FHA began to insure mortgages on condominium developments in 1961, making the financing of "apartment homes" affordable and attractive to a growing number of families and individuals.
Criteria 4. That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction;
The buildings in the proposed Sandcliff Historic District reflect a low-cost approach to home construction. Stripped of ornament, high quality finishes, expensive details or lavish materials, the developers of the homes at Sandcliff focused their resources on providing technological features that were advanced for their time, and amenities such as built-in sound systems, built in-kitchen gadgets, contemporary appliances, air conditioning and sunken tubs.
Buyers in the early 1960's in Palm Springs were comparing features and value of the post-and-beam construction common in the housing tracts that the Alexander Construction Company began in the mid-1950's with the conventional "stick-built" frame construction of the Sandcliff homes; which were typically better insulated, offered larger kitchens with more gadgets, appliances and storage. Not only does the construction typology of Sandcliff reflect the market demand at that time for convenience and "state- Item 1I - Page 10
Resolution No. 23963
Page4
of-the-art" gadgetry, it is also reflective of the fiercely competitive nature of producing affordable housing. That which wasn't essential for convenience or comfort within the proposed units was stripped away, leaving the physical architecture of the buildings simple, clean, and uncluttered. During the period in which Sandcliff was built, modern architecture, with its "les~ is m,:>rG" mcuitra \i"v·as er.1braced i.~•-bo~li Jev~bpei·~ ~9eki'.·,g to maximize profits and home-buyers seeking to minimize the time and effort required for maintenance and upkeep.
L. The boundaries of the proposed historic district are Barona Road on the west, Sandcliff Road on the north and east, and Morongo Trail on the south.
M. The Sandcliff Garden Home Apartment Condominiums Historic District's period of significance is roughly from the early 1950's to the mid-1960's.
N. The context within which the Sandcliff Garden Home Apartment Condominiums Historic District is identified with the post-World War II growth of Palm Springs as a worldwide vacation and resort destination. The period following World War II saw increasing seasonal and permanent population in Palm Springs and from a 1950's report on the housing stock of the City it was determined that a shortage of affordable homes existed. Many areas in the City were re-zoned from low-density to medium and high-density residential zones to encourage an increase in production of different housing stock options.
0. Contributing, Non-Contributing, and Defining Historic Characteristics or Elements The physical character-defining features of this site include the following:
1. The strong horizontal roof planes of all buildings and structures on the site, emphasized by the thin fascia of the roof structure and deep patio overhangs, interspersed with simple rectilinear volumes of the kitchens which protrude above the roof fascia to provide visual balance to the overall composition.
2. Narrow natural-anodized aluminum-frame windows and sliding glass doors.
3. The variety of concrete screen block privacy walls at patios and terraces.
4. The lightly raked stucco accent panels above and below the kitchen windows.
The contributing elements of the complex are recommended as follows:
1. All residential structures within the Sandcliff complex are recommended to be designated as Contributing Structures and individually treated as Item 1I - Page 11
Resolution No. 23963
Class 1 historic structures pursuant to Section 8.05.125 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code.
2. The swimming pool and pool cabana structure are recommended for designation as Contributing Structures and treated as Class 1 historic struct .. ies.
The non-contributing elements are recommended as follows:
1. The driveways, carports and service areas along Sandcliff road.
2. The common area landscape.
3. Any new or modified privacy walls, canopies, shade trellises, surface mounted conduit, antenna, satellite dishes, floor tile at patios, screen doors of varying designs, steel picket gates of varying designs, vinyl replacement windows and doors.
P. Integrity. The factor of integrity, while not a requirement of the Municipal Code Findings, is a factor that is considered in applications made to the National Trust for Historic Places and in certain state historic designations. The report concludes that the buildings within the proposed Sandcliff historic district have undergone limited alterations and that most of the character-defining features survive. Thus, the sites within the district retain a high degree of historic integrity.
Q. The specific parcels proposed for inclusion in the Sandcliff Historic District are as follows:
Assessor Parcel Numbers 510-040-001 to 040 and the common lot-041
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA HEREBY RESOLVES:

______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY:
This action approves a repair to the Chairman of the Links sculpture located at 124 South Palm Canyon Drive in the amount of $895 of Public Art Funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve repairs to the Chairman of the Links sculpture located at 124 South Palm Canyon Drive in the amount of $895 of Public Art Funds.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City has a Contract Services Agreement with Signature Sculpture (Agreement) to dust, wash, and wax various art pieces. The Agreement identifies 32 specific art pieces for Signature Sculpture to maintain. Minor conservation work such as removing corrosion, graffiti, flaking, paint, water deposits, etc. may also be performed on the pieces Signature Sculpture was assigned to maintain. The Agreement also specifies certain repairs to be performed to specific art pieces.
The Chairman of the Links sculpture was not included as an art piece needing repair. In performing the bi-annual cleaning of Chairman of the Links, Signature Sculpture identified two cracks in the bronze that connects the golf club to the rest of the sculpture (shown in Image 1). It appears that if the cracks are not repaired the golf club will break off.

The repair would involve welding the crack connecting the golf club in both areas, re- patina the welded area to match the rest of the piece and adding hot wax as an additional protective coating. The cost for these services is $895.
On November 16, 2022, the Public Arts Commission unanimously approved recommending that the City Council authorize the repairs to the Chairman of the Links sculpture and allocation of $895 in Public Art Funds for the repair services.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
:
Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment and are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. In accordance with Section 15304 "Minor Alterations to Land," Class 4 projects consist of "minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry and agricultural purposes" and approval of this item is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Section 2.24.050 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code requires the Public Arts Commission to, “Be responsible for a Palm Springs public arts program including policies and guidel ines, oversight of development of art projects and maintenance of art collection.”
FISCAL IMPACT
:
Approval of this action would allocate $895 of Public Art Funds to repair the Chairman of the Link sculpture. There are sufficient resources in the Public Arts Fund Contractual Services account (1502550 40105) to cover the proposed expenditure.

“The Door represents opportunities that are opened or closed to those who turn the handle. A person entering through a door can either be shut in or shut out.
This door is a play on words and invites you to consider words that are harmful and those that are constructive. Whether written or spoken, words communicate messages. Word choices can define reality. Words can create action or inaction.
The Door is made from steel, which signifies strength and struggle. Some doors are hard to open, while others are hard to close.
The colors represent challenges between differences, as well as unity. Red represents both bloodshed and shared blood. Green is for nature and wealth. Yellow represents fertility, nature, and life. Black signifies massive spiritual energy. The struggle that exists between these colors does not interfere with their similarities that unify them in this door.”
Deborah McDuff Williams earned a B.A. from Antioch University of Los Angeles and an M.F.A. in Visual Arts from the College of Art and Design at Lesley University in Cambridge. She also studied Interior Design at Woodbury University. Williams lives and works in Desert Hot Springs, California.

Invisible
My name is Invisible
An imaginary empty vessel
lying by the wayside
thrown away like rags
tattered, torn, and displaced
Hoping to be greeted by a caring face
Invisible smiles
You walk by afraid to look at my ghostly appearance
Because I live as a vagrant
And contribute to the jobless filth
On the streets looking for handouts
Item 1K - Page 4
I sleep close to those like me on cardboard
We cover ourselves for safety
Maybe our existence makes you want to cry
Inaction cares less if the invisible lives or dies
Labor laws prevent me from earning an honest wage
Who hires people my age?
Is my value too small to be seen?
Stop what you are doing
Let’s talk to find solutions
Together we can prevent your children from becoming invisible too McDuff © 5/20/14
3. Deborah McDuff Williams, Strange Fruit, 1995. Courtesy of the artist.
“Strange Fruit was inspired by the song by Billie Holiday. It was written about the lynching of Black Americans with lyrics that compare the victims to the fruit of trees. It became a powerful protest song against lynching and racism.
The magnolia tree is a nod to the flower the singer was often seen wearing in her hair.”
4. Deborah McDuff Williams, Wash Hate Away, 2020. Courtesy of the artist.
“I have vivid memories of my grandmother scrubbing dirty clothes on the wash board. I can picture her tensed biceps and veins protruding through her hands as she toiled to wash away the innocent soiling of work and play. How much force and determination will it take to wash away vicious stains of racism and other forms of hatred? Emotional detergents do not exist. Only through persistent struggle and the cleansing of human hearts can wash away the filth of hatred. Washing away hate can save lives.”

5. Ann Phong, Looking Up from The Bottom of Life, mixed media, 2016. Courtesy of the artist.
“My art reflects the feelings and thoughts of those who have struggled with experiences outside of their control, those who are pushed to the edge during times of political conflict, and those who struggle to assimilate to a new country.
As a refugee from South Vietnam, I have worn many hats to adjust and strive in this new land. I am an immigrant, an Asian, a female, a mother, and an artist.
These elements have mingled together to create my identity, and I express them in my art practice. Although my experiences may be unique, I believe art can be a medium that connects us all.”
Ann Phong is a Vietnamese American mixed media artist known for her paintings depicting her experiences as a Vietnamese American Woman and with environmental issues. Phong currently teaches art at California State University Pomona.

8. Ernest Stroman, Every Black Man Needs a Body Cam, mixed media, 2022. Courtesy of the artist.
“After George Floyd’s murder, it became increasingly clear to me as a Black man that I need to find a way to speak for myself when I am gone.
I asked myself, how can we leave behind a document that tells our story? I thought about a bodycam as a method of testimony, the only voice that could speak for me when I am gone. However, there is no foolproof way, even with a bodycam, that I could ever tell my story.
The man at the center of the work is my great nephew. He was born in California and knows very little about the South. Surrounding him are images of my father, who was a fearless defender of our family. His images are guardian angels that look over and protect my great nephew and his family. The white and black bars represent the “chain gang” and the oppressive legal system under which people of color struggle. I asked friends and family members to sign their names as an understanding of the struggles and risks all that Black men and women encounter each day.”
9. Ernest Stroman, Underground Railroad, 12 x 24, mixed media, 2021. Courtesy of the artist.
“This work was inspired by my reading of the book The Underground Railroad, by Colson Whitehead. I was fascinated by the idea and images of an actual railroad underground from the southern states to the Canadian border. I couldn’t imagine how enslaved people could risk their lives to get on that train.
The martyrs in this work represent the struggles, foresight, and courage of our ancestors. They had the vision and strength to stand up and usher their people to freedom.
After the end of the Obama administration, I saw “hope” turn back on itself for the many people who make up America, including those who identify as LGBTQ+, women, and people of color.
I wonder, is there hope? I am not optimistic.”

“In 2020, I was in a motorcycle accident that left
me broken, bleeding, and confined to a
wheelchair unable to walk. There are several
symbolic references in this work that describe the
feelings I was going through. The bull illustrates
my own resistance and fight to overcome the
accident so that I could walk and live again. I
painted myself holding the figure of a nun, which
to me symbolizes the feeling of ecstasy that pulled me back to life and helped me to resist the pain.
Through my own experience with resistance, I am reminded of others before me who have overcome personal struggle and institutional oppression. My work is expressed through the lens of the African American and Hispanic experience, and I strive to create positive narratives by giving voice and identity to subjects not often depicted in art.”
Emmanuel “Manny” Doublin is an artist raised in the Coachella Valley. His influences are drawn primarily from his environment and from growing up in low-income areas in the Western Coachella Valley. Doublin’s work often focuses on creating positive narrative, as well as giving identity and voice to his subjects. Environment is extremely important within his work. He captures the sense of place, and both the fragility and extremes within the valley.
11. Denny Pascasio, Cluster D. Resistance, paint on canvas, 2023. Courtesy of the artist.
“In this clustered-up knot of color, clouds, and characters, the piled- up figures feature many representations of resistance.
A hard hat is often worn to protect and prevent injury from heavy objects dropping on our heads. For me, it represents my everyday subconscious hardheaded to resist against taking in ideas that fall around me.
The wide eyes resist losing focus to the point that at times they become bloodshot and tired. But they can’t resist being wide because they must witness things life throws in view, things that sometimes hit you in the eye leaving it black and blue. Even swollen, the eyes resist being closed so that we can continue to see, to heal, and to keep moving forward.
The green plastic army soldiers are a metaphor. Not only do they characterize military resistance, but they are also a nostalgic memory of another time when I would imagine them as heroes instead of soldiers. And to when I would resist putting them away only to have my Item 1K - Page 8
parents painfully step on one. Yet, they didn’t break! They are an example of youthful resistance in opposition to the teachings of adults and the systematic chain of growing responsibilities.
The whoopee cushion represents my mind gassed up with the pressures of life. When the weight of the feelings I hold inside creates too much pressure, the whoopee cushion pushes out hot air, crap ideas, and sometimes a few diamonds!
I love superheroes, but I could never fully relate to Captain America. I resisted the shield the same fiery way the prideful shield resisted me. In realizing that common shared resistance, I found a flaming common middle ground we both defend!
It’s only when you step back through it all that you can see the knotted-up gnawing head of resistance and resilience.
All these things and more represent my way of moving forward and are a testament to my sticks and stones way of thinking and of powering through the odds.”

12. Brittney Shelton Price, Choose Joy, 2023, acrylic on stretched circular canvas. Courtesy of the artist.
“When given the prompt ‘acts of resistance’ in relation to the Black experience in America, I
looked more into this history. I discovered our brilliance and our resilience against injustice, tracing it back in time from yesterday’s slavery to today’s police brutality.
I tapped into the pain, the inequities, and the prejudice. I asked myself, how can a people survive in an environment so toxic and with systems in place that directly cause them harm? What is it that allows the fortitude to withstand such cruelties, and to not only survive atrocities, but to thrive with both style and grace? The answer came to me in the form of a negro spiritual, a song often sung by plantation slaves in fields as a distraction, and to keep up production pace to avoid beatings. The songs use themes such as hope and a brighter
tomorrow to remind the enslaved of the glory that awaits them. That glory is freedom.
The sankofa symbol adorns the sky as a reminder of ancestral omnipresence. In ancient Ghanian culture, it was a reminder that one must know their past to walk into their future.
Item 1K - Page 9
Power, resistance, and resilience are held in one’s ability to see beyond circumstance. To actively seek and Choose Joy. I can't think of a more powerful act of resistance.”

FROM: Teresa Gallavan, Interim City Manager
BY: Development Services Department
SUMMARY:
The Palm Springs Preservation Foundation (“PSPF”) approached the City of Palm Springs with a request to initiate a historic site designation for the “Security First National Bank” and on June 1, 2021 , the Historic Site Preservation Board ( HSPB) voted unanimously to add the site to its annual work plan as a City -initiated application. The proposed period of significance is 1959 when the project was completed.
The current owners do not support the proposed historic designation.
If designated as a historic resource, the property would be subject to the regulations outlined in Section 8.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open the public hearing and receive public testimony.
2. Close the public hearing and adopt Resolution No . ____, “A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING “THE SECUIRTY FIRST NATIONAL BANK” LOCATED 500 SOUTH INDIAN CANYON DRIVE, AS A CLASS 1 (LANDMARK) HISTORIC RESOURCE HSPB #137, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS (APN 508-121-001).”
BACKGROUND AND SETTING:
The attached historic resources report dated June 3, 2022, prepared for the City of Palm Springs by North Wind Resource Consulting (“the report”), a report dated June 2021 prepared independently by the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation, and a site visit with Board members are the basis of this staff report.

Related Relevant City Actions by HSPB, Planning, Fire, Building, etc.
June 2021 HSPB voted to amend its annual w ork plan to include the Security First National Bank as a City-initiated nomination.
November 2022 Site inspection by members of the HSPB and City Staff.
January 2023 HSPB considered the case at a public hearing and voted 3 to 0 to recommend Class 1 designation.
Ownership Status
November 2019 Purchase by the current owner.
The Security First National Bank is a one-story commercial building designed by architect Joseph Bing Wong and completed in 1959. It is located at the southeast corner of South Indian Canyon Drive and Ramon Road. Completed in the “post -World War II” contex t (1945-1969), Palm Springs experienced major growth in seasonal visitors and wealthy residents moving to the area at that time. This change brought vitality to the commercial core and a small financial district began to emerge as a concentration of bankin g institutions developed in the southern part of downtown. The First Security National Bank building is a noteworthy example of the modernization of financial institutions at that time.
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS:
The Board’s analysis of the application relative to the criteria for the designation of historic resources is detailed in the attached HSPB resolution and staff report dated January 3, 2023. The Board made findings in support of Class 1 (Landmark) designation based on the following criteria:
PSMC 8.05.070, (5,C,1,Part a). The site, structure, building or object exhibits exceptional historic significance and meets one or more of the criteria listed below:
(Criterion 2) The resource is associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state or local history;
(Criterion 3) The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history;
(Criterion 5) The resource presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value;
The Board also made findings pursuant to PSMC 8.05.070, (5,C,1,Part b) ; “ Historic Integrity” that the Security First National Bank possesses sufficient historic integrity to qualify as a Class 1 (Landmark) historic site.
Item 2A - Page 2

Historic Designation – The Security First National Bank
CONCLUSION:
The Security First National Bank meets the definition of a historic resource based on Criterion 2, 3, and 5 of the Palm Springs Historic Preservation Ordinance. The property possesses sufficient historic integrity to qualify as a Class 1 (“Landmark”) site. The HSPB recommendation to the City Council reflects these findings which are outlined in the attached draft City Council resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The proposed historic resource designation is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guid elines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical changes to the environment, directly or indirectly.

significance and meets one or more of the criteria listed below:
The Security First National Bank exhibits exceptional historic significance because it embodies modernist design principles prevalent in the mid -twentieth century of simple geometric planes and volumes. It demonstrates a responsiveness to the desert climate with the generous eaves and overhangs that became characteristic of the “Desert Modern” architecture in Palm Springs.
It is a noteworthy example of the evolution in banking in the mid -twentieth century in which architecture of financial institutions abandoned the old classical architectural forms for a more open, glassy and community-oriented design. It also reflects a trend that began as early as the 1930’s when public art, specifically murals and wall sculpture was specifically commissioned and incorporated into the design of commercial buildings.
(Criterion 1) The resource is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community;
The reports do not list any events associated with the resource that contributed to the nation, state or community. Thus, it does not qualify under Criterion i.
(Criterion 2) The resource is associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state or local history;
This resource was commissioned by the Security First National Bank in response to the local influx of wealthy tourists and residents in Palm Springs. The report identifies Herbert Samson as the first branch manager who was involved with the design and functionality of the bank. While his contributions to the construction and management of this site were instrumental, his involvement does not rise to the level of being a meaningful contribution to local, state or national history. The report also asserts that Lawrence Tenney Stevens, the artist of the bas-relief panels on the building was significant internationally as an artist whose work focused on depicting the romantic character of the American Southwest. Stevens made a meaningful contribution to the overall genre of American art and therefore the property qualifies as a historic site under Criterion ii.
(Criterion 3) The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history;
The Security First National Bank exemplifies the post -World War II period in local history when both commercial and residential building designs in Palm Springs were embracing the tenets of Modernism and shifting away from traditional “revival” forms of ar chitecture popular in the pre- World War II period. It is also a noteworthy example of the evolution in bank design in the post- war period, again, moving away from neo- classical styles and toward more modernist styles.
Lastly, it exemplifies the cultural shift from the pedestrian- oriented commerce and activity of a traditional downtown toward the growing convenience and popularity of doing business from the comfort of one’s own car. For these reasons, the City Council finds the site qualifies as a historic resource under Criterion iii.
(Criterion 4) The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction;
Item 2A - Page 8
Resolution No.____
February 9, 2023
The historic resource report asserts that the steel frame construction of the Security First National Bank building is characteristic of the mid- century modern period, however , that steel frame construction technology existed since the latter part of the 19th century and is not historically significant to the mid- twentieth century period. As such, the City Counci l finds the building’s type, period and method of construction method are not distinctive and thus the building does not qualify under Criterion iv.
(Criterion 5) The resource presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value;
As noted in the reports, Joseph Bing Wong, was a competent architect of the mid- twentieth century period whose work included both revivalist styles as well as modernist architecture. His projects often featured a strong integration of the building with its site. This can be seen in the subject site in which Wong carefully brings the rugged rocks and desert plant palette onto the site. The PSPF report asserts the site is historically significant because of its association with Wong. Wong’s design of Security First National Bank demonstrates his creativity as an architect and ability to work in the Modernist style, however, to be eligible under this criterion it must be found that the architect was a master in his profession and that his work influenced his age (i.e. his peers, successors or the profession in general). The reports do not make a compelling case that Wong’s talent and commissions are significant enough to label him a master, nor that his design talent influenced others. Thus, the site is not historically significant because of its association with Joseph Wong.
Lawrence Tenney Stevens is the artist who created the terra cotta bas-relief panels specifically commissioned to portray the local history of Palm Springs. These panels are a key element in the design of the building. They were installed at the northwest corner of the building to draw pedestrian-oriented patrons to the building from the walkable central business district. As noted in the reports , Stevens was significant as an artist whose work captured and promoted the romantic notion of the American Southwest. His work was recognized internationally in the a rt world. The panels he created possess a high level of artistic value and purpose. Considering these factors, the City Council finds the site qualifies as a historic site under Criterion v because of its association with Stevens.
(Criterion 6) The resource represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction, as used in evaluating applications for designation of historic districts, for parcels on which more than one entity exists; or
No information has been provided that the resource qualifies under Criterion vi.
(Criterion 7) The resource has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state or local history or prehistory.
No information has been provided on any pre-historic significance of the site.

SECTION 2: PART “B” ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC INTEGRITY.
Analysis of Integrity. (PSMC 8.05.070 (C,1,b). The site, structure, building or object retains one or more of the following aspects of integrity, as established in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards: integrity of design, materials, workmanship, location, setting, feeling, or association.
Beginning on page 46 of the North Wind report is an evaluation of the site relative to the seven aspects or qualities of historic integrity, as recognized by the National Register of Historic Places.
The seven aspects or qualities include location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The report concludes that the site retains a high degree of integrity and is further analyzed below:
1. Location:
The Security First National Bank remains in its original location of construction, therefore, retains its integrity of location.
2. Design:
The original asymmetrical massing and veneers of native stone and precast masonry panels and glass curtainwalls remain in place, although some of the glass curtainwall was modified in the 1980’s and a mesh screen to conceal roof -mounted mechanical equipment was added.
Elements of the landscape at the northwest corner of the site has also been slightly altered to accommodate an accessible ramp, however the lush quality of the landscape remails sufficiently intact and the building in general retains good integrity of design.
3. Setting:
The building is located at the southern end of the downtown commercial core along two of the City’s major thoroughfares in an area that developed with a number of financial institutions in the 50’s and 60’s. Its setting is decidedly urban. This area of town was already well developed at the time the building was constructed. Although many of the nearby banks and savings and loans have been repurposed with other uses, the area retains its setting as the City’s primary urban commercial core.
4. Materials:
The original massing of the building, the glass curtainwall around the entry, the precast masonry veneer panels, and the native rock wall all remain. The canopy over the original drive- through, although altered, remains in place and the landscape design has a strong presence on site. The alterations that have occurred have minimal impact and appear to be reversible. The integrity of materials is intact.
5. Workmanship:
Although the Security First National Bank generally exhibits a level of workmanship typical of a Item 2A - Page 10
Resolution No.____
February 9, 2023
commercial building, it integrates locally quarried, hand- laid stone on portions of the façade which give it a higher level of quality of workmanship that most other commercial buildings. The bas-relief panels located on the northwest corner of the building also convey a level of hand- crafted workmanship not often found on commercial buildings.
6. Feeling:
The building retains its feeling as a mid- century modern commercial building through its form, site orientation and use of materials.
7. Association:
The resource retains its integrity of association with the mid-century modern period of design through its simple use of materials and architectural detailing including the generous use of cantilevered eaves and the abstract angularity of the east facade.
SECTION 3: DEFINING HISTORIC CHARACTERISTICS
In considering a recommendation for historic resource designation it is important to distinguish those physical elements that are original or from the period of significance that contribute to the resource’s historic significance from alterations, additions or features that were added at a later time that may be sympathetic to the original character, but which may create a false sense of historicity. Distinguishing original character -defining features from non- original elements aids the HSPB when it is tasked with evaluating future alterations to the historic resource.
this site as follows:
Character-defining features of the resource are as follows:
• Flat roof and cantilevered canopies.
• Asymmetrical façade projections/recessions.
• Geometric form and massing with no extraneous ornamentation.1 • Irregular plan and site placement.
• Exterior veneers of native stone and exposed aggregate concrete panels. • Large expanse of glass at the main entrance facing the parking lot. • Automobile centric design with the drive-through.2
• Terra cotta bas-relief panels depicting historic milestones of Palm Springs.
1 The report characterizes the geometry of the building as “simple”, however, there is a complexity and sophistication juxtaposition in the blending of the orthogonal box-like quality of the west façade with the irregular, free-form floor plan and projecting eaves and angles of the east façade. 2 The original drive-through function is no longer in use and modifications were made to the original canopy in the 1980s, however, the feature is still visible and continues to tell the story of the automobile and its integration into the overall design of the site.
Item 2A - Page 11
Resolution No.____
February 9, 2023
• The rugged landscape design.3
Non-contributing elements:
• Projecting utility room on the southeast corner from 1964. • Extended portion of the canopy from 1986.
• Rooftop screening for mechanical equipment installed in1972. • Exterior ATM installed in1981.
SECTION 4: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The proposed historic resource designation is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical changes to the environment, directly or indirectly.
Based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby designates “The Security First National Bank” located at 500 South Indian Canyon Drive, a Class 1 (Landmark) Historic Resource (Case HSPB #137).

3 The presence of the rugged landscape and indigenous plant palette effectively relates the building to the natural desert areas around Palm Springs. Identifying specific existing trees or other plants as “character-defining”, per se, is not recommended, but rather that the rugged landscape areas around the building featuring large boulder and rocks and native plants contributes to its historic significance because the architect conceived it as a way of associating the site with the surrounding desert and mountains.

INTRODUCTION
North Wind Resource Consulting, LLC (North Wind), on behalf of the City of Palm Springs (City), completed the City’s application for Historic Resource Designation, of which this historic documentation is a part, to nominate the former Security First National Bank (Bank), located at 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive, as a Class I historic resource. The building, which currently houses a Union Bank, was designed by prominent Arizona architect Joe Wong in 1959. It has received local prominence, not only for its Mid-century Modern design, which features locally sourced materials and flowing lines and forms, but also for its two monumental bas-relief terra cotta panels that were conceived and crafted by Arizona sculptor and part-time Palm Springs resident, Lawrence Tenney Stevens. The pan els, which are located adjacent to a former lobby entrance and face Indian Canyon Drive, each feature a central image neatly framed by ten vignettes of Palm Springs history.
This report seeks to build upon the historic research included in an existing historic resource report (HRR), which was prepared by Architect/Preservation Consultant Susan Secoy Jensen for the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation (PSPF), a local not-for-profit agency, and submitted to the City in June of 2021. It includes a historic context for the development of the building, including any alterations, information regarding the builder, and ownership history; a discussion of the building’s character- defining features and analysis of architectural integrity as established in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards; accompanying photographs and other documentation; and a recommendation of eligibility for its designation as a Class I historic resource.
PHYSICAL SETTING
The project area is located at 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive, which is at the southern end the Central Business District of Palm Springs; it is bounded by S. Indian Canyon Drive on the west, Ramon Road on the north, S. Calle Ajo on the east, and commercial properties on the south (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The commercial building is situated on Parcel 508121001 in a commercial area that originally formed the core of the City’s downtown financial district (Figure 3). The parcels surrounding the former Security First National Bank are predominantly commercial with those on its north side, across Ramon Road, having been a vacant lot since 2015.

HISTORIC CONTEXTS
This section consists of two contexts. The first historic context examines the growth of branch banking during the early to mid-twentieth century with an emphasis on the ways in which industry and regulatory changes influenced the architecture and design of bank buildings in Palm Springs during this period. The second context provides background information on the development of the Security First National Bank and the role that the Bank played in the growth of California’s banking industry from the late 1880s until the Bank’s closure in the early 1990s. These contexts were then used to prepare an overview of the historical development of 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive, which includes a chronology of the building starting with its construction in 1959.
EVOLUTION OF BRANCH BANKING AND FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN PALM SPRINGS IN THE
POST-WAR PERIOD
In the post-WWII period, banks underwent an architectural transformation inspired by cultural and regulatory changes that profoundly reshaped the American banking industry. At the turn of the twentieth cent ury, banks typically catered to a wealthy private clientele and were designed in Classical architectural styles that reflected their prestigious positions in the community. Classical and Beaux-Art styles were often selected for bank design as their lavish ornamentation and, “monumental solidity,” Item 2A - Page 25

Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 5 was thought to convey economic security, confidence, and strength (Dyson and Rubano 2000).
The onset of the Great Depression in 1929, and the catastrophic bank failures that followed, destroyed public trust in banking and brought the industry to a crashing halt (Dorigo 2004). The use of more opulent forms of architecture ended during the Depression, and, by 1933, the construction of new banks had stalled altogether (Reiner 2009). As part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal policies, federal intervention helped to rebuild the banking industry in the 1930s. The creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Federal Saving and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC) revitalized American banking and restored public confidence in the industry. Across the country, construction of banks briefly resumed during the last years of the Depression, with many banks incorporating modest designs that melded elements of the Art Moderne style with an abstracted classicism that appealed to new investors (Dyson and Rubano 2000). By embracing more progressive designs, banks hoped to dissociate themselves from the financial failures of the Great Depression and reinforce an image of accessibility and transparency to the public. Unfortunately, in the early 1940s, the construction of new bank buildings was again hampered by material restrictions imposed during WWII (Reiner 2009).
Despite broader materials restrictions for the private sector, construction of war- related industry buildings and housing continued during the war. Wartime restrictions on materials such as steel and iron led architects and engineers to experiment with a variety of new building materials, includin g concrete, plywood, aluminum, and resin- based compounds. These materials—particularly pre-stressed and pre-cast concretes—allowed for the development of continuous panels and permitted architects to experiment with different building forms during the war (Dorigo 2004).
Modernist architects, such as Walter Gropius and Louis Kahn, hired under the Division of Defense Housing, brought innovative modernist ideas to the wartime construction industry that allowed for the interplay of modern design and brought modernism to the cultural forefront following the war’s conclusion (Dorigo 2004).
After WWII, the American middle-class was strengthened by the development of industries and public policies, which contributed to a nationwide boom in the housing market and automobile industry. As a result, the banking sector experienced a period of unprecedented growth fueled by the rise in automobile and personal loans that vastly increased the industry’s profits (Dyson and Rubano 2000). Banking journals of the period encouraged industry leaders to cultivate the bank’s retail image and to focus on customer service and convenience to appeal to the affluent post-WWII middle class (Dyson and Rubano 2000). As a result, post-war retail banks eagerly embraced modern conveniences such as automation, push button technology, and walk-up teller windows (Dyson and Rubano 2000). Although drive-through windows first appeared in the late 1940s, they didn’t enter the mainstream of American banking until the 1950s. This service was provided as a convenience to customers but was also developed with the acknowledgement of the ever-increasing importance of automobiles in suburban American culture. Unlike commercial buildings of the turn of Item 2A - Page 26
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 6 the century that were geared toward the pedestrian only, the new branch buildings were developed with a consideration for the pedestrian as well as for the automobile (Dorigo 2004). Thus, the design approach had to be three dimensional, with each façade of the building visible to the public (Dorigo 2004).
Additionally, banks adopted modernist styles that imitated retail shop design and removed physical barriers between customers and bank representatives (Dyson and Rubano 2000). The vocabulary of modernism was ideal for the retail-oriented post- war bank because it reflected the shift “from an emphasis on monumentality and stability to openness, adaptability, and modernity” (Reiner 2009). The rectangular- shaped branch banks of the 1950s were typically asymmetrical in nature, had flat roofs, and incorporated masonry, concrete, and glass in their design. Masonry continued to provide a sense of stability and often housed the traditional safe/vault, while glass served to visually open the bank to the public (Dorigo 2004). Modernism was also compatible with the commitment to convenience, efficiency, and technological advancement that served as hallmarks of the post-war banking industry.
Many banks also chose to incorporate public art into their design to market themselves to new customers and connect with the local community. This concept was first introduced to Southern California in the 1950s by the artist Millard Sheets, a well- known Los Angeles-area artist who specialized in painting, sculpture, and mosaics (Arenson 2018). In 1953, Sheets was commissioned by American businessman Howard Ahmanson to create exterior artwork for the Home Savings and Loan Bank of Los Angeles which expanded to include Homes Savings branches all over Southern California (Arenson 2018). Interestingly, this was not a popular feature in Mid-Century Modern banks in Palm Springs and is seen only on 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive in the form of terra cotta panels at the northeast entrance.
As automobile ownership became more prevalent during the post-war period, location also played an increasingly important role in the construction of retail branch banks.
As a result, new bank branches were often constructed along major thoroughfares and intersections that provided greater access and convenience for automobile customers (Dorigo 2004). In Palm Springs, this trend led to the establishment of a dedicated financial district that was concentrated in the southern portion of downtown near the intersections of South Palm Canyon Drive, Indian Canyon Drive, and Ramon Road.
The financial district’s development corresponded with Palm Springs’ growing reputation as a resort community during the post-war period. Following the war, middle-class families began to enter a culture that was more mobile and leisurely, and Palm Springs attracted a greater number of tourists to its desert resort community. In addition, several retail buildings were cons tructed for businesses, such as Bullocks and Saks Fifth Avenue, that catered to the wealthy, while commercial buildings geared toward tourists and local residents developed along Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon drives. The influx of seasonal tourists prompted bank managers from all over the state Item 2A - Page 27
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 7 to establish branch locations in Palm Springs to maintain relationships with existing customers (Desert Sun 1958).
The first financial institution constructed in the emerging financial district was the Coachella Valley Savings and Loan No. 1 (now The Bank), which was built at 383 S.
Palm Canyon Drive in 1956. The bank was designed by prolific Palm Springs-based architect E. Stewart Williams in a Mid-century Modern architectural style. Williams’ design set a precedent for bank construction in the City, as nearly all the banks that were built in the financial district during the post-war period embodied Mid-century Modern style characteristics. Th is style was particularly suited to the unique desert environment of Palm Springs where architects often incorporated elements such as arcades, screens, and canopies to provide shade, creating unique adaptations of branch bank architecture in the region (Dorigo 2004).
In 1959, the City’s financial district was firmly established following completion of City National Bank (now Bank of America) at 588 South Palm Canyon Drive, and the construction of Security First National Bank’s Ramon Road branch at 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive. By the early 1960s, several other notable banks had been built in this part of the city, including the Santa Fe Federal Savings and Loan (now the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center), which was built at 300 S. Palm Canyon Drive in 1960 and the Coachella Valley Savings and Loan No. 2 (now Chase Bank), which was built at 499 S. Palm Canyon Drive in 1961. By 1970, there were more than 10 financial institutions in the southern part of downtown, earning the area the nickname, “Little Wall Street” (Figure 4) (The Desert Sun 1970). Today, ten of the original bank buildings still exist within the financial district. For a map and list of these institutions, please see Appendix B.

GROWTH OF THE SECURITY FIRST NATIONAL BANK CORPORATION
The Security First National Bank was first established by investor Joseph F. Sartori in Los Angeles in 1889 as the Security Savings Bank and Trust Company (Furlong 1992). In 1905, the bank absorbed the Main Street Savings Bank of Los Angeles, making it the largest savings bank in Southern California ( San Francisco Call 1904).
The bank established its first Los Angeles-area branch office in 1912 (Wallace 1948).
Later that year, it acquired the Southern Trust Company of Los Angeles, and the bank’s name was subsequently changed to the Security Trust and Savings Bank.
The bank further expanded its branch banking operations after World War I (WWI), acquiring an additional 31 small banks throughout Southern California between 1922 and 1924. These acquisitions allowed the bank to open branches in Long Beach, Huntington Beach, San Pedro, and Pasadena in addition to its Los Angeles-area branches (Los Angeles Evening Express 1922). In
1929, the Security Trust and Savings Bank
underwent its most significant transformation, when
it merged with its largest competitor, the First
National Bank of Los Angeles (Furlong 1992).
Together, the two banks included 157 branch offices
and constituted the eighth largest bank in the United
States.
In November 1957, the Security First National Bank
consolidated with a large inland banking chain,
known as the Citizens National Bank of Riverside,
California. The acquisition included a Citizens
National branch office located at 456 North Palm
Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. The manager of the
Palm Springs branch office was Herbert Samson, a
Canadian-born banker and passionate promotor of
the City’s development. Samson had been
appointed Vice President and manager of the Citizen
National Bank’s Palm Springs branch in 1954 and,
following the merger, was selected to manage the
Citizens Division of the Security First National Bank
(Desert Sun 1957). He would prove instrumental in
the construction of the Security First National Bank’s
second Palm Springs’ branch at 500 S. Indian
Canyon Drive in 1959 (Figure 5).

Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 9 DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY OF 500 S. INDIAN CANYON DRIVE
As early as June 1957, while still working for the Citizens National Bank, bank manager Herbert Samson had already developed plans for a second branch office in Palm Springs ( Desert Sun 1957). That year, Citizens National Bank received permission from the Comptroller of the Currency in Washington D.C. to construct a second branch office at the intersection of Indian Avenue (now Indian Canyon Drive) and Ramon Road ( Desert Sun 1957). The bank purchased the parcel, which at that time was occupied by the Mira Monte Hotel and Apartments. According to Samson, the new branch location would cater to customers in the southern part of the city, which was undergoing a period of rapid development in the late 1950s ( Desert Sun 1957). Following its merger with Citizens National Bank in late 1957, Samson continued to collaborate with the board of Security First National Bank to bring the project to fruition.
Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Ramon Road branch of the Security First National Bank were announced in December 1958 ( The Valley Times 1958). The project, which was heralded as the “bank’s most modern and distinctive building,” represented an investment of $450,000 ( The Valley Times 1958). The Bank was designed by Scottsdale, Arizona-based architect Joseph B. Wong, and incorporated many hallmarks of mid-twentieth century retail bank design, including Modernist architectural details, state of the art banking technology, and an emphasis on automobile culture (Figure 6). In keeping with the convenience of modern banking, the new branch offered night depositories, drive-in window service, and parking for 50 automobiles. Reflecting the importance of customer service in the post-war banking industry, the Ramon Road branch also included, “an elaborately appointed Community Room, which allows bank policy to provide the utmost in service to public community or organizations” (The Valley Times 1958). In addition to these innovative features, the article states that the new building would also include two unusual bas relief panels flanking its front entrance that depicted the history of Palm Springs. The panels were sculpted by Lawrence Tenney Stevens, a well-known Arizona-based sculptor. The contractors in charge of the project’s construction were the Kretz and Wilson Construction Company of Indio, California (The Valley Times 1958). Kretz and Wilson were responsible for the construction of several other notable buildings in Palm Springs, including the Palm Springs’ City Hall.
In early September 1959, as the new Security First National Bank was nearing completion, Herbert Samson was appointed manager of the new Ramon Road branch. Emmett Connors from Security First National Bank’s San Bernardino Branch was named assistant manager ( Desert Sun 1959a). An open house for the new building was held on September 19, 1959. Following its completion, The San Bernardino County Sun praised the Bank’s ultramodern features including a variable position teller counter, combination standup and sit-down check counters, and the drive-in window located along Indian Canyon Drive that was guaranteed to “provide rapid and relaxed in-car banking for those who desire it” (Figure 7) ( San Bernardino County Sun 1959).

Item 2A - Page 31
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 11 Following its construction, the Ramon Road branch of the Security First National Bank served as a vital part of the Palm Springs community. Not only did the Bank offer financial services to Palm Springs residents, but it also hosted community events, club meetings, and exhibited ar twork by local artists.
After the 1968 merger between
Security First and Pacific National Bank, the Ramon Road branch was known as the Security Pacific National Bank. Herbert Samson continued to serve as the Bank’s manager until his retirement in 1969 (Desert Sun 1969). The Bank’s assistant manager, Emmett Connors, was appointed to the position after Samson’s retirement.
By 1970, the Security Pacific Bank was well established in the city’s financial district, also known as “Little Wall Street” ( Desert Sun 1970). An article in the Desert Sun newspaper acknowledged the Bank’s contribution to the area’s growth, reporting that among the first banks “to venture into this southern territory of downtown was the Ramon Road branch of the Security Pacific National Bank, which obtained its present site in 1957 and opened its doors in 1959” ( Desert Sun 1970). By 1970, the city’s financial district had grown to include nearly a dozen similar institutions. The design of the Security Pacific Bank continued to be a point of pride for the community as well.
It was nominated for the Gold Palm Conservation Award presented by the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce in 1980 (Desert Sun 1980). The nominating committee especially praised the building’s use of energy efficient building materials such as, “double thick concrete block which helps maintain even temperature within the building” (Desert Sun 1980). The article notes that the Bank’s energy efficient design was particularly remarkable as the building was constructed “before energy conservation were considered ‘necessary and in vogue’” (Desert Sun 1980).
In the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, the building underwent several alterations, including an interior remodel that involved the installation of new partitions and a new ceiling (Riverside County Assessor’s Office 1977). In 1978, a walk-up teller window was installed on the north-facing wall south of the east (main) entrance. This window replaced a wall consisting largely of plate glass and possibly an entrance, per a ca. 1959 photograph of the Bank (see Figure 7). Three years later the window was replaced with an automatic teller machine (ATM), most likely resulting in the removal of all glazing at this section of wall. An ATM remains in this location today. In 1986, an ATM on the bank’s south wall was replaced with a teller window (no installation date for the ATM available), and the drive-through canopy was extended to the south to cover an additional lane. Signage associated with Security First National Bank and the banking function, including drive-through lane and parking directional signage, was most likely removed in 1990, the year the Bank was sold to the Valley Players Guild (Figure 8).

In 1988, building permits on file with the City indicate that site upgrades were conducted. The details regarding these site upgrades are not known; however, historic images taken in 1968 reveal that a water feature and a set of concrete steps that lead from the north-facing entrance to the north sidewalk via a winding path, and a set of concrete steps at the northeast corner that lead from the north sidewalk to the east (main) façade, are no longer extant. The path led pedestrians through the landscaping with a landscaped buffer at the northern edge (since removed) (Figure 9; Figure 10; Figure 11; Figure 12; Figure 13). In its place is what appears to be a handicap- accessible ramp.

Indian Canyon Drive, ca. 1968, facing west. The steps are no longer extant (image courtesy of Palm Springs Historical Society, Palm Springs, California).
In 1989, just prior to Security Pacific Corp.’s collapse, the Bank merged with City National Bank of Beverly Hills (Desert Sun 1989). Following completion of the merger, Security Pacific announced plans to sell 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive and relocate to the former City National Bank at 588 S. Indian Canyon Drive (now Bank of America) (Desert Sun 1989). In 1990, the Bank was purchased by the Valley Players Guild and the interior was remodeled once again. The group operated the building as the Palm Springs Playhouse until 1994 when it was sold to the Bank of California ( Desert Sun 1994). Following the purchase, the Bank of California relocated its Palm Springs branch from East Tahquitz Way to 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive. The Bank of California merged with Union Bank in 1995, and the building at 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive has continued to operate as the Palm Springs branch of Union Bank since that date.
In 2008, the Bank’s east (main) facade underwent significant modifications, and ADA upgrades were implemented. No detailed information regarding the façade alterations is available; however, it is surmised that it was during this time that the stucco was applied to this façade, as well as at the base of the drive through canopy. Additionally, two south-facing, horizontally oriented, single-lite windows located north of the main entrance were replaced with more square, faux divided-lite windows, and the double- leaf entrance was relocated from the center of the east (main) glass entrance wall to the south end. It is possible that this is when the scored stucco panels were installed on the east (main) façade and scored stucco posts were installed at the drive-through Item 2A - Page 36

And finally, the 1959 artist’s rendering of the Bank (see Figure 6) shows an east-facing single-leaf door with large, single-lite window.
This door, if it ever existed, has been replaced with a scored stucco wall.

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT
The following biographies on Joseph Bing Wong, the architect responsible for the Bank building’s design, and Lawrence Tenney Stevens, the sculptor responsible for the bas-relief panels at its northwest corner, were adapted from Jensen (2021).
Additional information has been added to illustrate the scope of Wong and Stevens’ work in Southern California, with an emphasis on similar property types.
JOSEPH BING WONG
Joseph (Joe) Bing Wong, A.I.A., of Scottsdale, Arizona was responsible for the unique architectural design of Security First National Bank’s Ramon Road branch (Figure 14).
Wong was widely recognized throughout the Southwest for “his ability to communicate a delicacy of local feeling and interpretation of his buildings’ surroundings,” which was much sought after by the Security First National Bank ( Desert Sun 1959b). For the Bank’s design, Wong chose materials that blended with the desert environment. The spacious lobby and extensive use of glass provided views of the surrounding terrain, while native desert plants helped the building conform to its natural setting. The design placed particular importance on the landscape design of the property, as Wong hoped to create, “an attractive landscape plan, including fountains and pools, and trees to grace an otherwise barren expanse of asphaltic parking lot” (Jensen 2021). Also incorporated into Wong’s design was a secondary entrance in which the historical bas- relief panels, executed by the internationally known artist Lawrence Tenney Stevens, were placed as a tribute to Palm Springs’ history (Desert Sun 1959b).
Joe B. Wong was born on August 17, 1921, in the copper mining town of Clifton, Arizona. He worked in his family’s general store and restaurant until 1940 when the family moved to California. Wong attended the University of California, Berkeley, and received his degree from the School of Fine Arts in 1941 ( Desert Sun 1959b). He subsequently provided architectural services for the U.S. Army during WWII and Item 2A - Page 38
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 18 worked as an architect at Nichols-White Architects in Palo Alto, and Higgins & Rudd Architects of San Jose. He practiced architecture for five years in Palo Alto before returning to Arizona in 1952. Wong settled with his family in Scottsdale and worked for Hiram Hudson Benedict, one of the first architects practicing in Scottsdale. In 1954, Joe Wong established his own firm, known as Wong Associates Architects.
Joe Wong is believed to be one of the first Asian American architects to be licensed in Arizona. He was also licensed in California and
Nevada and registered with the National Council
of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).
His design philosophy, th at buildings should
blend in with and maintain the integrity of the
surrounding desert landscape, followed the
tenets of Organic Architecture, a style first
articulated by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in his
book, In the Cause of Architecture , published in
1908 (Graff 2018). He maintained this vision in
designing over 550 private homes, offices,
banks, restaurants, and schools throughout the
Southwest.
Wong was a versatile architect, whose work
embraced both Modernist and Revival styles. He
constructed several buildings in the Mid-century
Modern architectural style, including the McCune
Building (Figure 15), constructed in 1957 at Sixth
Avenue and Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale,
Arizona, the Medical Office Building located at
7300 E. Fourth Street in Scottsdale, constructed
in 1960, and the commercial buildings at Stetson
Plaza at 7120 E. Sixth Avenue in Scottsdale,
constructed in 1974 (Sydnor 2018). Similar to the
Security First National Bank, many of Wong’s
Mid-century Modern buildings utilized native
stone and masonry construction.
The majority of Wong’s work was concentrated
in Arizona. Among his other notable projects in
the state are the Carefree Sundial, Scottsdale’s Fifth Avenue buildings, Hopi School, Scottsdale Boys Club, El Dorado Park Community Center, and additions to the Valley Ho and Camel Back Inn. He was especially influential in the City of Carefree, Arizona, where, in 1964, he designed the Carefree Inn, a $3 million project under the management of Western International Hotels. Consequently, there are very few surviving structures designed by Wong in the State of California. A restaurant located at 8231 W. Foothill Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga serves as one of the few remaining examples of Wong’s work in the state ( Pomona Progress 1957). The Figure 14. Architect Joe B. Wong,

It originally served as a Chinese restaurant operated by the family of Robert and Sue Jong. The project was proposed to cost $130,000 and have a seating capacity for 130 people ( Pomona Progress 1957). The building is now occupied by an Italian restaurant.
Figure 15. Photograph of the McCune Building in Scottsdale shortly after completion, ca. 1950s (image courtesy of Sydnor 2018).
Wong was both artist and architect. He dabbled in various mediums and took classes at Lawrence Tenney Stevens’ studio, which may be how Wong became associated with the Security First National B ank project. A 1959 article in the Desert Sun newspaper refers to Joe B. Wong as “a specialist in bank building design” (Desert Sun 1959b). However, very little evidence was found to indicate that Wong had any previous experience in bank design prior to his work on the Security First National Bank. While he did design several more banks in the mid-to-late 1960s, all of Wong’s other bank projects were located in the Phoenix area. For example, he designed two branches of the First Federal Savings Bank, located at 4550 E. Thomas Road in Phoenix, and at 7505 E. McDowell Road in Scottsdale ( Phoenix Gazette 1965; Arizona Republic 1969). The Scottsdale bank was constructed in 1969 in the Los Arcos Shopping Center. The building was demolished in 2012. The Phoenix bank was opened in 1965 and is currently occupied by a dental office. Both buildings were designed in a Spanish Revival style with arcades and red tile roofs. Similar to the Security First National Bank, the building located at 4550 E. Thomas Road also included artwork in the bank’s design, incorporating a series of paintings by local artist Don Vanderlinden in the interior (Phoenix Gazette 1965). Joe B. Wong enjoyed a long career as an architect until his retirement in 1998. Wong died in 2011, at the age of 89 (Arizona Republic 2019).

LAWRENCE TENNEY STEVENS
The artist Lawrence Tenney Stevens was born in Massachusetts in 1896. He first showed an interest in sculpture in his early adolescence. In 1917, Stevens began four years of study at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts. In 1922, he won the Rome Prize for sculpture and embarked on a fellowship to study sculpture at the American Academy in Rome (Figure 16). During his time in Rome, Stevens traveled extensively throughout Western Europe and Egypt, eventually developing a reputation as an authority on Roman, Greek, and Egyptian sculpture (Desert Sun 1959c).
Inspired by his colleague, Daniel Chester French, Stevens sought to use his sculpture as a means to promote American art. Following his return to the U.S. in 1926, he had several commissions in New York, then moved west to Santa Barbara, California. It was in Southern California that he first met Millard Sheets (1907-1989), an established artist and founding professor of the fine arts program at Scripps College. Sheets believed that art should be incorporated into the design of a building from the outset, rather than being tacked-on later. This concept would prove to have a huge influence on Stevens’ later work.
In 1929, Stevens visited Cody, Wyoming, where he first applied his signature simplified style to western motifs. While his art diverged from the rustic expectations of the American West established in the prints and sculptures of Remington and Russell, Stevens hoped that his work would forge a new way of romanticizing the West that would advance the international view of American art. Stevens eventually acquired the 2000-acre Double L Bar Ranch in Cody, Wyoming and used it as his part-time home and studio.
In October 1941, Stevens moved from the Double L Bar Ranch to winter in Palm Springs. While in Palm Springs, Herbert Samson, a friend of the Stevens’ family and future manager of Security First National Bank at 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive, helped the artist lease the Cornelia White Hous e as his home and studio. Stevens also established a studio at an Indian Avenue location where he worked and gave instruction. While living at the Cornelia White home, Stevens carved a 10-foot figure from the rare trunk of an Australian red eucalyptus as a monument for the City. The following year, Stevens also submitted a design for the seal for the City of Palm Springs, however, his design was ultimately not chosen as the final selection. In 1942, Stevens volunteered for the armed forces to fight in WWII. Prior to deployment to Africa in May 1942, he moved from Palm Springs back to his ranch in Cody, Wyoming.
After his service in the war, he moved briefly moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, before settling in Tempe, Arizona, where he established his internationally renowned studio.
In 1958, while living and working in Tempe, Stevens received his commission for the Security First National Bank panels. The panels represent Stevens’ only known work in Palm Springs. Soon after receiving the commission, Stevens returned to Palm Springs and gathered the research material for the project. He was assisted in his research by his old friend, Herbert Samson, now manager of the Security First Item 2A - Page 41
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 21 National Bank in Palm Springs, and member of the Palm Springs Historical Society.
The long process of creating the panels took more than a year and consisted of producing a series of rough sketches, scale models, full sized drawings, line tracings on the 32 slabs of specially prepared clay (shipped from California to his Tempe, Arizona studio), and submitting photographs of the panels for critique. In this painstaking effort, Stevens was ably assisted by his wife, Bea. Over the course of the year, each of the 22 terra cotta plaques was transformed through Stevens’ artistry. He devoted a week to ten days to the creation of each of the panel sections, followed by three months of slow drying. He next transferred the sections into the kiln for the long smoking, firing, and cooling process which gave the clay its permanence (Desert Sun 1959d). Each plaque was smoked at low temperature for a week, followed by three days at high firing. The kiln process alone required more than 2,000 hours.
Thirteen months after the initial step, all 22 sections for the two panels were ready to be individually crated and shipped. In Stevens’ words “Sculpture and Architecture are the most lasting of the Arts, and because of the
exactions demanded in their making are
considered the most perfect by many scholars.
These panels took over a year of constant
effort, with many years of experience as a
basis, and a willingness to work hard with a
time deadline” (Desert Sun 1959e). Stevens
accompanied the panel sections to Palm
Springs, and positioned each one at the site,
where they remained covered until the official
unveiling.
Stevens’ efforts were coordinated with his
friend and colleague, architect Joseph B.
Wong. Both men lived and practiced in the
Phoenix, Arizona area, and, therefore,
understood and appreciated the desert
environment. Stevens and Wong remained in
direct communication with their client, Security
First National Bank, throughout the design and
installation process. Following the Ramon
Road project, Lawrence Tenney Stevens
continued to live and sculpt at his studio in
Tempe, Arizona. Stevens died in 1972 while
on a return trip from Italy where he had been
working on his latest project ( Boston Globe
1972).

BUILDING DESCRIPTION
The former Security First National Bank building at 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive consists of a one- story commercial buildin g with an irregular plan consisting of an orthogonal masonry section with a raised roof in the center, slightly recessed on the east behind a drive-through canopy on the south, and an orthogonal section at the north end. The east (main) façade is notched to create a grand entrance recessed behind an expansive patio and landscape islands. The building is oriented north-south on lots 8, 9, and 10 at the southeast corner of S. Indian Canyon Drive and Ramon Road (Figure 17).
Figure 17. Aerial view showing the location of 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive, outlined in red (image courtesy of City of Palm Springs 2022).
A paved parking lot is located to the east of the Bank building on lots 18, 19, and 20.
An exit driveway is located at the south end of the building. The parking lot is accessible from Ramon Road and also S. Calle Ajo, which spans the east edge of the property. The north, west, and east sides of the building contain landscaped edges, and a landscape buffer is located at the south and east edges of the drive through and parking lot.
Item 2A - Page 43
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 23 A concrete path composed of semi-circles set into the landscaped edge is located along the west side of the property. The path separates at the northwest corner, and ramps slightly upward toward the raised concrete deck where the north exit door and terra cotta bas relief panels are located. The ramp is edged by a low stone rubble wall that once lined a small water feature. It is possible that this ramp was installed as part of the landscape alterations in 1988, or as part of the ADA improvements noted in a building permit from 2008 (Riverside County Assessor’s Office 2020).
The north landscaped edge consists of desert landscaping located along the north façade of the Bank. The landscaping begins at the northwest corner of the building and wraps around the raised concrete deck to continue along the north façade. The landscaping is integrated into the sidewalk along Ramon Road with a meandering stone and rock edge (see Photograph 1). A mesquite tree at the northeast corner, original to the site, was retained to be incorporated into the bank’s landscaping by special permission of the city” ( Desert Sun 1959f). This edge follows the southern border of a winding concrete path that lead from a set of concrete steps at the raised concrete deck and bisected the landscaped area to connect with another set of concrete steps leading to the sidewalk along Ramon Drive and the east (main) entrance. A metal railing was placed on the eastern edge of the raised concrete deck to restrict access to the sidewalk through the landscaping. It is likely that the northern boundary of landscaping, as well as other alterations to the north landscaped edge, was removed in 1988 (see Developmental History of 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive section for more detailed descriptions of alterations and historic photographs of the northern boundary). The landscaping wraps around to the north half of the east façade, terminating at a raised planter. The more formal semi-circular path with landscape islands is repeated on the east (main) side of the building (Photograph 2).
The Bank’s primary entrance is located on the east façade and faces the parking area.
A former entrance, now an emergency exit, is located at the west end of the north façade, facing Ramon Road (see Photograph 2; Photograph 4).

A wide, flat canopy with painted fascia extends the length of the façade, wrapping around from the west façade at the northwest corner, continuing along the north façade, and extending past the corner of the building along the east elevation. 2 The
north exit is recessed between the panels and is composed of a single-lite, metal frame door with single-lite sidelites and a single-lite transom. The recessed area, as well as a small section of wall with single-lite window to the east of the recessed area, is finished with stucco.

southernmost portion of the
façade is pebbled concrete
veneer with no fenestration.
A small, projecting utility
room, constructed in 1964,
with south-facing, single-leaf
metal door and louvered

south end of the façade. The
utility room has a pebbled
concrete veneer finish. The
entrance is recessed into the
façade, underneath the
wide, flat, cantilevered,
wraparound canopy that
originates on the west
façade. The single-lite,
double-leaf entrance is
located at the south end of a
large expanse of glass

Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 31 CHARACTER DEFINING FEATURES OF 500 S. INDIAN CANYON DRIVE The National Park Service defines a building’s distinguishing character as, “all those visual aspects and physical features that comprise the appearance of every historic building. Character-defining elements include the overall shape of the building, its materials, craftsmanship, decorative details, interior spaces and features, as well as the various aspects of its site and environment” (Nelson 1988).
The period of significance for the Bank begins in 1959, the year of its completion, and ends in 1969, the final year of the Post-World War II period of significance as established by the Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings (Historic Resources Group 2018). Features not listed, including alterations occurring after the period of significance, are not considered character-defining be default.
Based on the building permit history information, as well as a visual evaluation of the Bank, it is North Wind’s opinion that the Bank has retained the following character- defining features:
1. Setting. Setting is the physical environment of a property that provides clues to how the building came to be in its location and why it appears the way it does.
Elements that make up a property’s setting can include its relationship to surrounding features, such as topographic features, vegetation, and open space, and manmade elements such as sidewalks, parking areas, roads, and other buildings. The most distinctive aspects of the Bank’s setting are the following:
x Siting close to the western edge of the parcel as this is consistent with buildings to the northwest and west along S. Palm Canyon Drive. The Bank honors the pedestrian edge common within the City’s downtown commercial core. This supports the Bank’s original intent of creating an inviting pedestrian entrance at the northwest corner.
x Undeveloped mountain backdrop is still a significant feature of the Bank’s setting.
x Despite the removal of the concrete steps at the northwest and northeast corner, the water feature at the northwest corner, and the northern landscape island, the landscape and hardscape areas associated with the Bank property, consisting of lush desert plants, gravel, and stone integrated in a seemingly organic way with a variety of hardscape materials including pavers, stone, and winding concrete pathways, continue to be character-defining features of the Bank. x Parking lot to the east of the building is considered a character-defining feature as it represents the embrace of post-war auto-centric designs for urban architecture.
2. Shape. Shape is defined as the overall massing, which includes the footprint, height, roof form, façade recessions or projections, and setbacks, of a building:
Item 2A - Page 52
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 32
x Irregular plan incorporating multiple angles and recessed areas.
Complimenting these features are a recessed, taller roof height in the center of the building, a three-quarter height stuccoed wall and low stuccoed planter at the east (main) facade, and a broad, horizontal cantilevered, wraparound canopy.
x Juxtaposition between the orthogonal masonry “cube” that projects strength and stability, and the angled glass entrance wall that projects transparency, as linked by the horizontal canopy. This juxtaposition of materials and massing is a mark of Mid-century Modern style and is considered significant.
x Auto-centric design with the main (east) entrance facing the parking lot as a modern convenience. The shape of the building and its relationship to the property as a whole.
3. Roof and related features. This can include the roof massing and form and projections such as canopies and porte cocheres, etc.:
x The recessed upper roof is significant as an element of the Mid-Century Modern style that favors asymmetrical facades and variations in façade planes.
x Cantilevered wraparound canopy.
4. Projections. Building projections are any component, member, or part that juts out from a building. The Bank’s distinctive projections include:
x Façade projections and original canopy as described above.
5. Openings. A building’s openings include not only windows and doors themselves, but also fenestration patterns and façade recessions. The Bank features the following distinctive openings:
x Vast expanse of plate glass associated with the Bank’s entrances representing the trend in transparency in architecture and banking when constructed.
x Broad expanse of full-height glass.
x Asymmetrical façade with recessed portions and angled walls that are key elements of the Mid-Century Modern style.
6. Materials and Craft Details. Building materials, such as construction materials and exterior sheathing, door and window materials, exterior sheathing treatments, and decorative treatments, are a few elements that can be included here. The most significant material and craft details associated with the Bank include the list below:
Item 2A - Page 53
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 33 x The Lawrence Tenney Stevens terra cotta panels are significant examples of craftsmanship and use of desert materials and are considered character-defining features of the Bank. The panels solved the dilemma of how to make this entrance noticeable to pedestrians coming from the W. Ramon Road and Indian Canyon Drive.
x The exterior materials, as well as the combination of these materials, including the stacked pebbled veneer masonry units, stucco surfaces, 4 and stone piers, are representative of the Mid-century Modern style. The stone, a rough-cut field stone quarried from Whitewater Canyon especially for this project and stacked by hand, is the same as used in the property’s landscape. The stone piers, pebbled veneer wall surfaces, and rustic landscaping with curved and meandering concrete paths, serve to harmoniously integrate the building, circulation network, and landscape together.
EVALUATION OF ELIGIBILITY
The former Security First National Bank bu ilding, located at 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive, was evaluated for eligibility as a Class I and Class II Historic Resource per the request of the City’s Department of Planning Services. In order for a building to be designated as a Class I historic resource by the Palm Springs City Council pursuant to PSMC Section 8.05.070(C,1), it must meet one or more of the following findings, as well as retain integrity as defined by National Register Bulletin “How to apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation” (NPS 1997):
Finding 1 : The site, structure, building, or object exhibits exceptional historic significance and meets one or more of the criteria listed below:
(i) The resource is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state, or community:
500 S. Indian Canyon Drive was not found to be associated with any event or events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state, or community.
(ii) The resource is associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state, or local history:
The Bank is associated with Lawrence Tenney Stevens, a prolific sculptor who worked and studied abroad. Stevens’ work was heavily influenced by
4 Note that the scored stucco surfaces installed on the east (main) façade and at the drive through canopy column bases in 2008 are not significant in and of themselves; however, the scoring mimics the joints of the stacked pebble veneer, and stucco is compatible with the remaining original stucco surfaces.

Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 34 ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art and culture, which is reflected in the Bank’s bas relief panels. He created several works abroad and in the United States, including New York, Wyoming, Arizona, and California. He strove to convey his ideals of a romantic American West in his work that would advance the international view of American art.
(iii) The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state, or local history:
Despite the alterations to the east (main) façade and northern landscaped edge, 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive was found to reflect or exemplify the post- war period of Mid-century Modern branch banking design, as it retains the majority of the key elements of its original design, including the asymmetrical massing and façade, specifically, the juxtaposition of the smooth masonry cube with the angled glass and stone entrance wall carved into the cube and linked by the horizontal cantilevered canopy. The angled walls are seemingly comprised of random angles held in place by the stone piers. This mix of natural and manmade materials is also reflective of the Modern movement, as is the incorporation of public art into the architecture of the building.
(iv) The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction:
500 S. Indian Canyon Drive is a steel frame building sheathed in a veneer consisting of stucco, pebble veneer, and stone. The light steel frame allowed for the expansive interior spaces, vast expanses of plate glass, as well as the thin profile of the cantilevered canopy on the west, north, and east facades, and drive-thru canopy on the south façade, all of which are distinctive characteristics of the Mid-century Modern style, period, and method of construction.
(v) The resource presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possess high artistic value:
The terra cotta panels at 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive represent the work of a master artist, Lawrence Tenney Stevens (1896–1972) whose design for the panels depicted Palm Spring’s numerous leisure activities, as well as the trials and tribulations of early pioneers, the plants and animals of prehistoric eras, and individuals signif icant to Palm Springs history. The panels’ themes, materials, and craftsmanship were heavily influenced by the desert environment and possess high artistic value.
(vi) The resource represents a signif icant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction, as used in evaluating applications for designation of historic districts, for parcels on which more than one entity exists:
Item 2A - Page 55
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 35 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive is not part of a historic district evaluation.
(vii) The resource has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state, or local history or prehistory:
The information potential was exhausted by this current effort; therefore, it is anticipated that no additional information will be found to supplement 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive’s importance to national, state, or local history or prehistory as stated in this report.
Finding 2: The site, structure, building, or object retains one or more of the following aspects of integrity, as established in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards: Design; Materials; Workmanship; Location; Setting; Feeling; and Association.
Location: the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred. 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive is not known to have been moved to the site from other locations, and therefore retains integrity of location.
Design: the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive retains the majority of its integrity of design despite alterations that resulted in the removal of original Mid-century Modern architectural and landscape elements as described in detail in the developmental history section of this report, and the introduction of Postmodern style features such as the scored stucco and windows with faux grid muntins. The Bank retains its original asymmetrical massing with expanses of glass intersecting with the pebbled stone veneer and flanked by hand-stacked stone pilasters; thin horizontal elements such as the façade canopy and drive through canopy; and the combination of natural and manmade materials. The organic landscape design retains enough integrity to communicate the intent to integrate natural materials with manmade concrete pathways, planters, and exterior walls.
Setting: the physical environment of a historic property. Despite alterations to the landscaped area at its north façade, 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive retains integrity of setting. Additionally, although some of the original bank buildings located within the financial district have been converted to alternate uses, several are still extant and appear to have had few alterations. These existing banks and former banks contribute to the historic setting for 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive. And finally, the undeveloped mountain backdrop to the west of the Bank continues to frame the Bank when viewed from the east.
Materials: the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive retains the majority of its integrity of materials.
Workmanship: the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive retains integrity of workmanship, specifically, the stone pilasters and stone wall segments on Item 2A - Page 56
Historic Documentation of the Former Security First National Bank June 3, 2022 North Wind Cultural Resources Report No. 030482.003.01 36 the east (main) façade. The rough-cut field stone was quarried locally for this project and stacked by hand for use on the façade, and incorporated throughout the landscaping to integrate the building, circulation network, and landscape together.
Feeling: a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive retains integrity of feeling, which is defined as the physical features that, when taken together, are able to convey the property’s historic character and function. Although the Bank’s drive-through canopy was altered in 1986, it is still able to attest to the building’s historic function as a post-war retail bank.
Additionally, the Bank continues to retain the majority of its other Mid-century Modern style elements, including the large expanses of glass meant to convey transparency, its native landscaping, and auto- and pedestrian-oriented circulation that was intended to foster community engagement.
Association: the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive retains its integrity of association with Mid- century Modern style post-war financial institutions designed to portray transparency and customer service with large expanses of glass, pedestrian and automobile accommodations, and inviting landscaping.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
North Wind, on behalf of the City of Palm Springs, completed the City’s application for Historic Resource Designation, of which this documentation is a part, to nominate 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive as a Class I historic resource.
North Wind conducted photo documentation of the former Security First National Bank Corporation at 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive on December 27, 2021, conducted research at the Palm Springs Historical Society, and reviewed multiple online sources to prepare a developmental history of the property. Brief historic contexts for Palm Springs and branch banking in the post-war era were also included as part of this report.
North Wind recommends that 500 S. Indian Canyon Drive be considered eligible for designation as a Class I Historic Resource within the City. Specifically, the Bank is found to be associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state, or local history, artist Lawrence Tenney Stevens (PSMC 8.05.070 C.1.a.(ii)); the Bank reflects a particular period of national, state, or local history, namely, the post-war period of Mid-century Modern design for branch banking and other commercial buildings (PSMC 8.05.070 C.1.a.(iii)); the Bank embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction (PSMC 8.05.070 C.1.a.(iv)); and, the Bank was found to represent the work of a master artist, Lawrence Tenney Stevens (1896–1972) (PSMC 8.05.070 C.1.a.(v)).

Barbara,
I want to thank you for your interest in our property at 500 Indian Canyon in Palm Springs. After careful review of your report, we respectful can not endorse your efforts to classify our building as historic. We believe that this classification will cause significant ha1·dship and significantly impact the value of the property. We would request that you not proceed with this process to designate it as historic. Thank you for understanding on this matter .
Sincerely
Jeff Pieper

Dear Mr. Pieper,
Attached please find the final draft of the Security First National Bank (now Union Bank) historic resource nomi11ation prepared for the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation by PSPF board advisor and preservation architect Susan Secoy Jensen . Also attached is Appendix VI, Detailed Description of Bas-relief Panels.
Not included are: Appendix I, Owner's Letter of Support (the document we're asking that you consider signing); and Appendices II-V (documents I assume you already have in your possession).
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions about the city of Palm Springs' historic resource application process (Barbara Marshall, [email protected] or 760-808-6988).
Please feel free to contact Susan should you have any technical/architecture questions ( susan@secoya1·chitects.com or 714-926- 7812, https://secoyarchitects.com/).
We look forward to hearing from you.

THE "SECURITY FIRST NATIONAL BANK" LOCATED AT

1. Criteria
for
the
Designation
of
Class
1 Historic
Resources.
A
site,
structure,
building
or
object
may
be
designated
as
a
Class
1 historic
resource,
provided
both
of
the
following findings
("a"
and
"b'J
are
met:
a.
The
site,
structure,
building
or
object
exhibits
exceptional
historic
significance
and
meets
one
or
more
of
the
criteria
listed
below:
The
Security
First
National
Bank
exhibits
exceptional
historic
significance
because
it
embodies
modernist
design
principles
prevalent
in
the
mid-twentieth
century
of
simple
geometric
planes
and
volumes.
It
demonstrates
a
responsiveness
to
the
desert
climate
with
the
generous
eaves
and
overhangs
that
became
characteristic
of
the
"Desert
Modern"
architecture
in
Palm
Springs,
and
it is
a
noteworthy
example
of
the
evolution
in
banking
in
the
mid-twentieth
century
in
which
architecture
of
financial institutions
abandoned
the
old
classical
architectural
forms
for
a
more
open,
glassy
and
community
oriented
design.
It
also
reflects
a
trend
that
began
as
early
as
the
30's
when
public
art,
specifically
murals
and
wall
sculpture
was
specifically
commissioned
and
incorporated
into
the
design
of
commercial
buildings.
(Criterion
i)
The
resource
is
associated
with
events
that
have
made
a
meaningful
contribution
to
the
nation,
state
or
community;
The reports
do
not
list
any
events
associated
with
the
resource
that
contributed
to
the
nation,
state
or
community.
Thus,
it does
not
qualify
under
Criterion
i.
(Criterion
ii)
The
resource
is
associated
with
the
lives
of
persons
who
made
a
meaningful
contribution
to
national,
state
or
local
history;
This
resource
was
commissioned
by
the
Security
First
National
Bank
in
response
to
the
local
influx
of
wealthy
tourists
and
residents
in
Palm
Springs.
The
report identifies
Herbert
Samson
as
the
first
branch
manager
who
was
involved
with
the
design
and
functionality
of
the
bank.
While
his
contributions
to
the
construction
and
management
of
this
site
were
instrumental,
his
involvement
does
not
rise
to
the
level
of
being
a
meaningful
contribution
to
local,
state
or
national
history.
The
report
also
asserts
that
Lawrence
Tenney
Stevens,
the
artist
of
the
bas-relief
panels
on
the
building
was
significant
internationally
as
an
artist
whose
work
focused
on
depicting
the
romantic
character
of
the
American
Southwest.
Stevens
made
a
meaningful
contribution
to
the
overall
genre
of
American
art
and
therefore
the
HSPB
determined
that
the
property
qualifies
as
a
historic
site
under
Criterion
ii.
(Criterion
iii)
The
resource
reflects
or
exemplifies
a
particular
period
of
national,
state
or
local
history;
The
Security
First
National
Bank
exemplifies
the
post-World
War
II
period
in
local
history
when
both
commercial
and
residential
building
designs
in
Palm
Springs
were
embracing
the
tenets
of
Modernism
and
shifting
away
from
traditional
"revival"
forms
of
architecture
popular
in
the
pre-World
War
II
period.
It
is
also
a
noteworthy
example
of
the
evolution
in
bank
design
in
the
post-war
period,
again,
moving
away
from
nee-classical
styles
and
