On November 6, 2025, the Public Arts Commission recommended approval to the City Council of Amendment No. 3 to increase annual compensation by $43,480 for Fiscal Year 2026, and $91,425 for Fiscal Year 2027, for a total increase of $134,905, not to exceed a total contract amount of $274,704.50.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On September 12, 2022, the City of Palm Springs entered into Agreement No. A9206 with Same Day Express, dba Signature Sculpture ("Contractor"), for the cleaning and maintenance of public art within the City. The original three-year agreement had a contract price of $128,905.
The agreement has been amended twice previously:
Amendment No. 1 (March 13, 2023): This amendment added services for the repair of the "Chairman of the Links" art piece, in the amount of $895.00 bringing the total contract price to an amount not to exceed $128,905. Amendment No. 2 (February 3, 2025): This amendment expanded the scope of work to include seven art pieces at the Palm Springs International Airport, increased compensation by $9,999.50, bringing the total contract amount to $139,799.50 and extended the contract term to August 31, 2027.
The proposed Amendment No. 3 will further revise the scope of services to include the regular cleaning and maintenance of eighteen (18) additional art pieces located throughout the City, for a total of 40 art pieces to be cleaned twice a year. These new pieces to be added include the Pillars on East Tahquitz Canyon Way, Creature Alley, Artscape in the Park, and Beautiful Shade.
Services for the new pieces, as detailed in the attached Exhibit A2, will primarily consist of washing with non-ionic soap and deionized water and applying wax, performed twice annually. This amendment increases the contractor's compensation by $134,905. The total compensation for the agreement, as amended, will not exceed $274,704.50.
This amendment ensures that the City's growing collection of public art is properly and professionally maintained, preserving the condition and longevity of these valuable community assets.

INSURANCE
1. Procurement and Maintenance of Insurance. Contractor shall procure and maintain public liability and property damage insurance against all claims for injuries against persons or damages to property resulting from Contractor’s performance under this Agreement. Contractor shall procure and maintain all insurance at its sole cost and expense, in a form and content satisfactory to the City, and submit concurrently with its execution of this Agreement. Contractor shall also carry workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with California workers’ compensation laws. Such insurance shall be kept in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, including any extensions. Such insurance shall not be cancelable without thirty (30) days advance written notice to City of any proposed cancellation. Certificates of insurance evidencing the foregoing and designating the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers as additional named insureds by original endorsement shall be delivered to and approved by City prior to commencement of services. The procuring of such insurance and the delivery of policies, certificates, and endorsements evidencing the same shall not be construed as a limitation of Contractor’s obligation to indemnify City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.
2. Minimum Scope of Insurance. The minimum amount of insurance required under this Agreement shall be as follows:
1. Comprehensive general liability and personal injury with limits of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit coverage per occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate;
2. Automobile liability insurance with limits of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence;
3. Professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance with limits of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) annual aggregate is:
_________ required
___x_____ is not required;
4. Workers’ Compensation insurance in the statutory amount as required by the State of California and Employer’s Liability Insurance with limits of at least one million dollars $1 million per occurrence. If Contractor has no employees, Contractor shall complete the City’s Request for Waiver of Workers’ Compensation Insurance Requirement form.
3. Primary Insurance. For any claims related to this Agreement, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary with respect to the City and its respective elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City and its respective elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be in excess of Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. For Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance only, the insurer shall waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
4. Errors and Omissions Coverage. If Errors & Omissions Insurance is required, and if Contractor provides claims made professional liability insurance, Contractor shall also agree in writing either (1) to purchase tail insurance in the amount required by this Agreement to cover claims made within three years of the completion of Contractor’s services under this Agreement, or (2) to maintain professional liability insurance coverage DocuSign Envelope ID: 1045F196-70AB-44B9-B993-1700941333BC Item 1V - Page 36
with the same carrier in the amount required by this Agreement for at least three years after completion of Contractor’s services under this Agreement. Contractor shall also be required to provide evidence to City of the purchase of the required tail insurance or continuation of the professional liability policy.
5. Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required in this Agreement shall be provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California. Coverage shall be provided by insurers admitted in the State of California with an A.M. Best’s Key Rating of B++, Class VII, or better, unless otherwise acceptable to the City.
6. Verification of Coverage. Contractor shall furnish City with both certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting all of the coverages required by this Agreement. The certificates and endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before work commences. City reserves the right to require Contractor’s insurers to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers’ Compensation policies.
Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate:
A. "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are named as an additional insured…” ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No. A9206" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement).
B. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or selfinsurance the City may have..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No. A9206" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement).
C. "Should any of the above-described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 days written notice to the Certificate Holder named." Language such as, “endeavor to” mail and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representative" is not acceptable and must be crossed out.
D. Both the Workers’ Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named the certificate holder on the policies.
All certificates of insurance and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. All certificates of insurance must be authorized by a person with DocuSign Envelope ID: 1045F196-70AB-44B9-B993-1700941333BC Item 1V - Page 37
authority to bind coverage, whether that is the authorized agent/broker or insurance underwriter. Failure to obtain the required documents prior to the commencement of work shall not waive the Contractor’s obligation to provide them.
7. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City prior to commencing any work or services under this Agreement. At the option of the City, either (1) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers; or (2) Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. Certificates of Insurance must include evidence of the amount of any deductible or self-insured retention under the policy. Contractor guarantees payment of all deductibles and self-insured retentions.
8. Severability of Interests (Separation of Insureds). This insurance applies separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.

Some pieces are over 30 years old. The City and Public Arts Commission believe the public arts collection beautifies and enriches the City and are dedicated to the maintenance and upkeep of the collection.

A. The Contractor shall provide various levels of cleaning and maintenance of the art pieces outlined below that are located throughout the City to maintain a high standard of cleanliness and appearance for public viewing and enjoyment.

D. The Contractor will be required to provide high resolution color photographs of all artwork of the before and after treatment with their invoice outlining details of work performed and any condition issues encountered as a part of their work.

DATE: November 12, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF INSTALLATION OF THE ARENAS BUSINESS
DISTRICT LANDMARK FLAGPOLE
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: David McAbee, Director of Public Works
SUMMARY:
Formal City Council acceptance of the Arenas Business District Landmark Flagpole Project (“Project”) is required to document the completion of public works improvements and to authorize the filing of a Notice of Completion with the Riverside County Recorder in accordance with Section 9200 of the California Civil Code.
The Project provided for the construction and installation of a 65-foot landmark flagpole, including a reinforced concrete base, protective bollards, and lighting, located in the Cityowned parking lot at the southwest corner of Indian Canyon Drive and Arenas Road.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Accept the public works improvement known as the Arenas Business District Landmark Flagpole Project, as completed in accordance with the Construction Contract; and
2) Authorize the Director of Public Works to execute and file for recordation with the Riverside County Recorder a Notice of Completion (Attachment A) for the Arenas Business District Landmark Flagpole Project.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
According to the Public Integrity Disclosure form (Attachment B), EMD Construction is registered in the state of California.
BACKGROUND:
On July 21, 2025, the City Council approved the Arenas Business District Landmark Flagpole Project, in partnership with Greater Palm Springs Pride, to design and construct Item 1W - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
November 12, 2025 -- Page 2
Acceptance of Installation of the Arenas Business District Landmark Flagpole a 65-foot landmark flagpole on City-owned property at the corner of Indian Canyon Drive and Arenas Road.
The City funded the design and installation of the flagpole, base, and associated site improvements. Greater Palm Springs Pride contributed $75,000 toward project costs and entered into a 30-year license agreement with the City for operation and maintenance responsibilities.
The completed improvements include a steel flagpole, concrete base, lighting, protective bollards, striping, and all electrical and site restoration work.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Construction of the Project began July 22, 2025, and was determined to be substantially complete on October 4, 2025.
The flagpole is operational and has been accepted by Greater Palm Springs Pride for ongoing management and maintenance per the executed License Agreement.
Acceptance of the improvements will allow Public Works to file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder, formally closing out the contract and releasing retention in accordance with California Civil Code § 9200.
Staff recommends that City Council accept the Project as required by Section 9200 of the California Civil Code and authorize the Public Works Director to file and record a Notice of Completion to be submitted to the County. A copy of the Notice of Completion is included as Attachment A.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures (“Class 3”). The Class 3 exempt allows, in part, the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small structures. Here, the Project is exempt per the Class 3 exemption since it involves the installation of a single, new flagpole on City-owned property in the downtown commercial district.
The City has also considered whether the proposed Project is subject to any exception to the Class 3 exemption, as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2. No exception applies for the following reasons:
1. The Project is not located in a particularly sensitive environment. The site is located in the downtown commercial district, whereby the site and every surrounding lot has been developed. Since the Project and surrounding area is fully built-out, no sensitive environment exists in this location.
Item 1W - Page 3
City Council Staff Report
November 12, 2025 -- Page 3
Acceptance of Installation of the Arenas Business District Landmark Flagpole
2. The Project would not result in any significant cumulative impacts on the environment. The likelihood of another flagpole being installed in the surrounding vicinity is extremely low, based on lack of available open space and desire.
3. The Project does not involve any unusual circumstances and has no potential to result in a significant impact on the environment. The Project involves installation of a single, thin flagpole with a height of 65 feet and a significantly smaller footprint than the activities contemplated in the Class 3 exemption. Further, the Project is located in a fully developed commercial area near buildings of similar height and sits on City-owned property, where there are no height standards for flag poles.
Lastly, the site is not listed on any hazardous materials registry, contains no sensitive habitats or archaeological resources, and is not subject to extraordinary geological or flood hazards beyond standard building-code provisions.
4. The Project is not located near any scenic highways; therefore, it does not have the possibility to damage any scenic resources within a state scenic highway.
5. The Project is not located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
6. The Project site or adjacent property does not contain any historical resources, therefore there is no possibility the project would result in any significant impact on a historical resource.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action supports the City Council strategic plan to provide quality, well maintained infrastructure and facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City is holding retention funds in the amount of $4976.07 for EMD Construction pending acceptance of improvements and filing the Notice of Completion with the County Recorder’s Office.
The total budget allocation for the flagpole kit and installation, lighting, base, and protective bollards project was $109,473.63 from the Economic Development Fund (FY 2025-26 Budget), which included a 10% contingency ($9,952.15). The contingency was not used, resulting in a total actual expenditure of $99,521.48.
Upon presentation of final project expenses, Palm Springs Pride will reimburse the City $75,000. The net fiscal impact to the City after reimbursement is $24,492.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 12, 2025 PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: AN APPLICATION BY JONATHAN WURTZEL FOR HISTORIC SITE DESIGNATION OF “THE CULLERTON-CHADDICK RESIDENCE”
LOCATED AT 572 WEST SANTA ELENA ROAD (APN 504-282-012), CASE HSPB #165
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY:
A single-family home at 572 W. Santa Elena Road was first constructed in the vernacular ranch-style of architecture in 1948. After the property was purchased by Cullerton and Chaddick, the home was completely redesigned by William F. Cody in 1965. Today, the restored home is a distinct example of Cody’s work that combines his understanding of the vernacular style with Modernist principles. The current owners of the home are requesting historic designation of this site.
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 (PSMC).
The Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) and staff evaluated the application in accordance with the historic designation ordinance and applicable state/federal regulations and determined it qualifies as a Class 1 (Landmark) historic site.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Open the public hearing and receive public testimony. 2) Close the public hearing and adopt Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA,
DESIGNATING THE CULLERTON-CHADDICK RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 572 W. SANTA ELENA ROAD, AS A CLASS 1 (LANDMARK) HISTORIC RESOURCE HSPB #165, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS (APN 504-282-012).”

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS RESOLVES:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS – PART “A”, CRITERIA FOR HISTORIC RESOURCES.
Evaluation of the Application. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8.05.070 (C,1,a), the City Council shall evaluate the application and make findings in conformance with the following criteria:
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”) are met:
a. The site, structure, building, or object exhibits exceptional historic significance and meets one or more of the criteria listed below:
Item 2A - Page 10
Resolution No.____
November 12, 2025
572 W. Santa Elena Drive is a single-family home designed by architect William F. Cody. The site placement of the home responds to the surrounding views while ensuring privacy, and the swimming pool and spa were also done by Cody. In a recent remodel of the home, the roof was replaced with shake shingles, the exterior was painted in a pink buff color, and the existing carport structure was removed. The following is an analysis of the criterion and integrity findings for historic designation.
(Criterion i) The resource is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state, or community;
No meaningful event is associated with this site, thus 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; Based on the information provided in the report, the Cody remodel of the home was associated with Patrick Sullerton and Harry Chaddick. While it is unclear why the property was co-owned by both individuals, address information reveals that they each had separate homes in the area.
Chaddick was a local developer that worked with Cody extensively throughout the 1960s and 1970s in Palm Springs, and it was likely this relationship that connected Cody to this project.
Since the home was not a permanent address for either individual, this criterion is not met. (Criterion iii) The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state, or local history;
Cody was influenced by the works of Cliff May which exposed him to vernacular architecture of California. He tried to create a convenient and comfortable design incorporating views, light and nature. Cody also explored simple forms and gentle sloping roofs to minimize the appearance of the structure.1 This home exemplifies the intersection between the vernacular style of architecture and the progressive ideas of Modernism. City Council finds Criterion iii is met. (Criterion iv) The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction;
Unlike the National Register criterion concerning construction, the Palm Springs evaluation of construction addresses the type (of construction), the period (of construction) and the method (of construction). The home was constructed using conventional methods and no new building materials or technology was specifically identified in the report. Criterion iv is not met. (Criterion v) 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;
Architect William F. Cody arrived in Palm Springs in 1942 and became one of the key figures for the Palm Springs School of Desert Modernism. Some of his more seminal works in the desert 1 City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement “Post-World War II Palm Springs (1945-1969)”, 169.

include the Del Marcos Hotel (HSPB #78) on West Baristo Road, the Abernathy Residence (HSPB #86) on North Phillips Road, and the Goldberg Residence on Southridge Drive (HSPB #135). Cody’s genius and influence, when it comes to design, is that it continually evolves. This home, for example, demonstrates layering of textures, geometries and natural materials which is completely different from the Euclidean approach used at the Goldberg Residence. This resource is a good representation of the architect’s versatility during his years of prominence, thus Criterion v for historic significance is met.
(Criterion vi) 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
The resource is not within a historic district and does not qualify under Criterion vi. (Criterion vii) 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.
The report provides 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 home designed by William Cody is in its original location on the lot; therefore, the integrity of location is met.
2. Design:
The original residence was designed as a ranch-style home that was expanded by 800 square feet and completely remodeled. The report describes the design by Cody as a seamless integration of contemporary design with Palm Springs vernacular traditions. The home uses building materials like masonry blocks, rough-hewn board-and-batten siding and wood shake shingles, similar characteristic found in the vernacular architecture of California, but also in integration of white terrazzo flooring, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and concrete screen blocks.
The home is elevated on a plinth with asymmetrical columns supporting a deep overhang. The openings on the walls are large expanses of glass, but the pitched roof has shake shingles.
Item 2A - Page 12
Resolution No.____
November 12, 2025
Pathways and entrances have geometric shapes, and texture is created from the stucco surfaces, stacked concrete blocks and extruded wooden beams. Cody uses vernacular building materials in a modernist way that creates architectural interest. One element that was removed is a pergola structure in the parking area in 2020. Based on the findings in the report, City Council finds the home retains its integrity of design by Cody.
3. Setting:
The setting of the home in the Chino Mesa Estates tract is surrounded by ample open space, and the neighborhood context consists of similar sized lots for single-family residential development. To the west of the lot is the land owned by the Desert Water Agency. The home retains its original setting.
4. Materials:
The home was built with materials that were commonly used during this period. The integrity of the slump stone walls, exterior stucco, floor to ceiling glazing, wooden beams and terrazzo are intact.
5. Workmanship:
While conventional methods of construction are utilized, the attention to detail allows for seamless transition of materials from the interior to the exterior. City Council finds the integrity of workmanship remains intact.
6. Feeling:
The home’s modest scale to the surrounding context and use of materials represents the architect’s original design response to the Modern Movement in the desert. The integrity of feeling remains strong.
7. Association:
The property is associated with architect William Cody, as well as the Mid-century Modern Movement of the post-World War II period. The integrity of association remains unchanged.
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.
The following is a list of character-defining features identified by the City Council:
Item 2A - Page 13
Resolution No.____
November 12, 2025
Character-defining features of the resource are as follows:
• Site placement of the home

SIGNIFICANCE
The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is a custom home in the Chino Mesa Estates section of Palm Springs. The small existing 1948 house was significantly expanded and completely remodeled in 1965 by master architect William F. Cody. Through the expansion and redesign, Cody transformed the very modest house into an elegant and luxurious showplace, leaving no surface untouched – a fine example of Cody’s expert synthesis of the restrained dignity of his best Midcentury style and his masterful interpretation of the ranch vernacular.
The Chadwick-Cullerton is an essential example of a custom modernist residence. It exhibits numerous character-defining features that place it within the historical context of the Palm Springs Modern period.
DESIGNATION CRITERIA
Criteria for the Designation of a Class 1 Historic Resource: Pursuant to the Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC) Section 8.05.070(C.1.): A site, structure, building, or object may be designated as a Class 1 Historic Resource or a Contributing Resource in a proposed historic district by the Palm Springs City Council, provided both of the following findings are met. Refer to the US Department of the Interior National Register Bulletin “How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation” of potentially historic resources for further information.
FINDING 1: The site, structure, building, or object exhibits exceptional historical significance and meets the below criteria.
8.05.070 (C.1.a.) paragraph (iii) - The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state, or local history: The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence, completed in 1965, exhibits many stylistic markers that place it directly in the historical context of Palm Springs’ “Post-World War II Palm Springs” period. The custom-designed residential structure represents a prime example of significant Post-war architecture for which Palm Springs is internationally known. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence may be considered an important component of the historical trends that have come to define Palm Springs’ image as a center of notable Modern architecture, i.e., a historical trend that exemplifies a particular period of the Item 2A - Page 21
4 national, state, or local history. The structure qualifies for listing as a Class 1 Historic Resource on the local registry under Criterion 3.
8.05.070 (C.1.a.) paragraph (iv) - The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction: The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is eligible under the theme of Modern architecture because it possesses numerous distinct features that make up the Midcentury Modern style. It is a high-end custom Midcentury Modern residence designed by master architect William F. Cody, using both high-quality but straightforward materials that root it to the site, as well as his signature wholly contemporary interpretation of the Old California ranch vernacular of early Palm Springs. It has significance for its distinctive characteristics. The structure qualifies as a Class 1 Historic Resource under Criterion 4.
8.05.070 (C.1.a.) paragraph (v) - High Artistic Value - The resource presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced their age or that possesses high artistic value: High artistic values may be expressed in many ways, including areas as diverse as community design or planning, engineering, and sculpture. The structure designed by master architect William F. Cody is eligible under the Modern architecture theme because it possesses numerous distinctive characteristics that make up the Midcentury Modern style. These attributes include Cody’s signature synthesis of elegantly contemporary modernism with the local ranch-style architecture, including a wood shake roof, hand-trowelled stucco, and wood board-and-batten combined with aluminum, glass, and terrazzo. Though it is a thorough remodel of and expansive addition to an existing 1948 structure, it is a fine representation of Cody’s mastery. As a custom structure artfully designed by Cody, this building rises to a master architect's level with high artistic values. Therefore, for its distinctive characteristics representing the Midcentury Modern style, as a master architect's work, and its high artistic values, the Cullerton-Chaddick Residence qualifies as a Class 1 Historic Resource under Criterion 5.
SUMMARY: This evaluation finds the Cullerton-Chaddick Residence eligible for listing as a Palm Springs Historic Resource under 8.05.070 (C.1.a.) paragraphs (iii, iv, and v) of the local ordinance’s seven criteria.
Item 2A - Page 22
5 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Summary
The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence was designed in 1965 by master architect William F. Cody for Patrick J.
Cullerton and Harry F. Chaddick. It was a ground-up thorough remodel, with the addition of significant square footage, of an existing modest 1948 ranch-style house. The house has been meticulously preserved and maintained over the years and was given a very sensitive and compatible refresh in recent years by designer Bill Stewart, who owned the home from 2020-2024.
Location
The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is located at West 572 Santa Elena Drive in Palm Springs, California, 92262.
The Architect – William F. Cody
A delicate balance exists between minimalism and monotony. In the glass-box high-rises and residences that characterized post-World War II Modernism, architecture often stripped away embellishment in pursuit of pure form and concept. While this approach led to striking innovations, it sometimes sacrificed vibrancy, resulting in structures that felt as lifeless as the desert sand.
A Palm Springs architect, William Cody (1917-1978), played a distinctive yet frequently underappreciated role in this movement. A dedicated Modernist who continually pushed boundaries toward more extraordinary elegance and daring forms, he infused his buildings with an unmistakable vitality. From his arrival in Palm Springs in 1942 until his passing in 1978, his firm remained consistently engaged, yet his recognition seldom extended beyond the Banning Pass. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Cody made little effort to publicize his work in architectural journals or attract clients in Los Angeles. Instead, most of his projects beyond Palm Springs originated from relationships developed in the region, particularly in the realm of country club design.
Born in Dayton, Ohio, in 1916 and raised in Los Angeles, Cody discovered architecture early, working alongside Cliff May in the late 1930s while attending the University of Southern California’s School of Architecture. Even as a student, he demonstrated both talent and affluence, impressing classmates with his convertible and employing them as draftsmen. Though May—now widely respected—had no formal training, his residential designs combined warmth with Modern sensibilities, drawing inspiration from regional ranch and hacienda styles while embracing contemporary construction techniques.
Cody inherited this emphasis on livability, often prioritizing comfort and lifestyle over rigid adherence to theoretical Modernist ideals. His classmate and friend George Hasslein recalled that Cody initially resisted Modernism. When it was introduced at USC around 1941, it sparked heated debates between the two; while Item 2A - Page 23
6 Hasslein quickly embraced the movement, Cody remained skeptical. However, he eventually adapted, refining his focus on striking compositions, slender proportions, and a consistent sense of elegance—all while preserving a welcoming spatial quality.
Despite his precise approach to design, Cody's personal life was exuberant and unrestrained. "Cody overworked and overplayed," fellow architect Stewart Williams once noted, "but he was a fine designer." Donald Wexler, who worked with Cody in 1952, observed that he was rarely present in the office during morning hours. The workspace itself—described as a shack, a tent, or even a cave—was nestled in a palm grove. Cody’s energetic social life earned him the moniker "Wild Bill." His animated personality even influenced his career decisions; Hasslein once considered forming a partnership with Cody but ultimately chose to preserve their friendship instead.
Although aware of his contradictions, Cody directed his creative energy into his work. "He was his architecture," Hasslein remarked. Fellow USC alum William Krisel praised Cody’s artistic abilities, recalling how he effortlessly perfected renderings with quick, skillful brushstrokes. His personal dynamism translated into his buildings, evident in their crisp proportions, bold detailing, and intricate spatial relationships. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Cody’s desert structures never became rigid or lifeless.
Cody relocated to Palm Springs in 1942 to manage his asthma, an illness that rendered him unfit for military service. He saw the city as a strategic base. "If I go to Palm Springs, I’ll be doing architecture all over the world," he once told Hasslein. His prediction proved accurate—his clients had extensive networks, allowing his work to extend beyond the desert. Among his most valued patrons was power tool magnate Robert McCullough, a friend who played a crucial role in securing commissions such as the Tamarisk Country Club clubhouse, which later led to the esteemed Eldorado Country Club project, designed in partnership with Ernest Kump.
One of Cody’s earliest desert projects, the 1947 Del Marcos Hotel, reflected influences from Taliesin West. It featured rustic stone walls juxtaposed with angled wooden supports, creating a design that appeared to grow naturally from the landscape. When the Thunderbird Dude Ranch transitioned into the Thunderbird Country Club in 1952, Cody was enlisted to renovate its Gordon Kaufmann-designed clubhouse. He preserved its relaxed, ranch-style Modern aesthetic but introduced a more streamlined approach in the surrounding bungalows, incorporating shallow gable roofs to redefine the Modern bungalow.
Cody’s portfolio was impressively varied. In 1957, he embraced the Googie style for Huddle’s Springs restaurant on South Palm Canyon Drive, a genre also explored by his USC classmates Eldon Davis and Louis Armet. The design experimented with bold angles and dynamic polygonal spaces, with wooden beams extending dramatically to define outdoor terraces shaded by vividly striped fabric canopies.
Cody's work spanned various building types, from religious institutions to gas stations. He played a pivotal role in the 1955 Spa Hotel project, collaborating with Wexler and Harrison. In 1964, he designed a striking Item 2A - Page 24
7 gas station near Albert Frey’s Tramway station, featuring a long, slender concrete slab extending over open service bays—an elegant structural gesture reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Johnson Wax columns.
His 1968 St. Theresa Catholic Church showcased a more expressive design language. Its dramatic concave walls enclosed serene meditation courtyards, while a vast pyramidal roof covered the sanctuary, recalling both Gothic cathedrals and Eastern stupas. Inside, an elaborate post-and-beam structure created a soaring, uplifting spatial experience, reinforcing the building’s contemplative essence.
Cody’s own residence revolved around an interior embodying California’s indoor-outdoor living ideal. While many elements of his designs—slim roof planes, slender columns—were widely imitated, Cody’s work retained a distinct, personal energy. His structures, characterized by dynamic lines and daring cantilevers, exuded a sense of architectural tension, setting them apart from the more measured compositions of figures like Neutra.
Despite working in an era filled with extraordinary talent—including Eames, Koenig, Ellwood, Lautner, Frey, and Esherick—Cody’s ability to reinterpret established forms with originality placed him among Midcentury California’s finest designers. However, his contributions remained largely underappreciated.
After suffering a debilitating stroke in 1973, Cody’s firm continued under the leadership of Frank Urrutia until Cody’s passing in 1978. His influence persisted not only through his built legacy but also through his mentorship of younger architects, including Richard Holden, William Johnson, Ric Harrison, and Don Wexler.
Though several of Cody’s key works have been lost to demolition or insensitive alterations, his impact on Desert Modernism remains profound. In 2012, his contributions were recognized with a star on the Palm Springs Walk of the Stars during Modernism Week.
In 2021, PSPF co-published Master of the Midcentury: The Architecture of William F. Cody with Monacelli Press, authored by Cathy Cody, Jo Lauria, and Don Choi. This renewed attention has ensured that Cody’s work continues to inspire future generations, securing his rightful place in midcentury Modernist history.

SIGNIFICANT OWNERS
ALICE MEYER (OWNER 1948-1960)
Alice Norah Cavanaugh Meyer (1892–1960) was born in Kentucky and faced significant hardship early in life.
Orphaned at a young age, she and her sister Frances Rose were separated into different institutions. While Frances Rose appeared in the 1900 census records at a convent orphanage in Cincinnati, Alice was documented in the 1905 New York census as an "inmate" at the St. Anne Home for Destitute Children in Item 2A - Page 25
8 Westchester. Her connection to orphanages remained significant throughout her life—her 1960 obituary requested donations to the Los Angeles Orphan's Home in lieu of flowers.
The details of Alice's journey from orphanage to adulthood remain largely unknown, but by the 1920s, she had established herself in Los Angeles and embarked on a career in the performing arts. On May 13, 1924, she married Alexander Chester Arthur Meyer, a New York-born musician and producer who had relocated to Los Angeles around 1920 after operating his company, A. E. Meyer and Co., in New York.
By 1925, Alice had gained recognition as an actress and dancer. The Los Angeles Times noted her performance in George M. Cohan's play "Little Nellie Kelly" at the Figueroa Street Theatre. Both Alice and Alexander were deeply immersed in the entertainment industry, with Alexander working as a musician and later serving as financial secretary for the Musicians' American Federation Union while maintaining active involvement in Masonic activities.
The couple's residence shifted between coasts. By 1930, they were living in Queens, New York, where Alexander worked as a theatre musician. However, they returned to California by 1935, taking up residence in Beverly Hills at 870 N. Doheny Drive—the home of Alice's sister, Frances Rose Cavanaugh, who had married German-born Albrecht Luettich. The 1940 census records show Alice working as a saleslady while Alexander worked as an office clerk for the Musicians' Union.
Throughout their years in Los Angeles, Alice and Alexander maintained a strong connection to Palm Springs.
According to her obituary, Alice spent forty winters as a resident of the desert community. In 1947, they purchased a parcel in the then-developing Chino Mesa Estates tract, and the following year, Alice built a modest ranch-style home. After Alexander's death in 1952, Alice continued to live in Palm Springs until she passed away in her home there on March 9, 1960.

9 PATRICK J. CULLERTON (CO-OWNER 1961-1965; OWNER 1965-1981) Patrick J. Cullerton (1897-1981) was a towering figure in Chicago politics whose five-decade career left an indelible mark on the city's governance. Known affectionately as "Parky" to friends and constituents alike, Cullerton exemplified the traditional Chicago politician: effective, well-connected, and deeply committed to his constituents in the city's 38th Ward.
Cullerton belonged to one of Chicago's most prominent political dynasties, a family whose influence in the city's politics would span an extraordinary 144 years. The dynasty began with Edward F. "Foxy Ed" Cullerton, Patrick's great-uncle, who served as a Chicago alderman for a remarkable forty-nine years from 1871 until his death in 1920. The Cullertons were among Chicago's original settlers, establishing deep roots that would support generations of political ambition.
Patrick's own father, William James Cullerton (1874-1946), though unsuccessful in his bid for Congress, remained politically active and nurtured his son's interest in public service. This family legacy provided Patrick with a strong foundation for his own political aspirations.1 1 The Cullerton legacy continued for another 57 years after P.J.’s tenure. His brother, William (Willie) J. Cullerton, served as alderman from 1958 until he died in 1973. He was succeeded by his nephew, Tom Cullerton who held the position until his death in 1993. Then came an in-law, Tom Allen, who served from 1993 until 2010. The final Cullerton alderman was Tim Cullerton, also a city electrical inspector, who held office from 2011 until his retirement in 2015 following a ward remap.
Item 2A - Page 27
10 Unlike many politicians of his era, Cullerton pursued technical education, studying electrical engineering. He attended parochial school and St. Philip's High School before advancing to the Lewis Institute. His technical background would later distinguish him from many of his political contemporaries.
On March 27, 1914, Cullerton married Charlotte "Lottie" Moore (1896-1976) in Chicago. The couple welcomed their daughter, Helen, in November of the same year.
Cullerton's political career began in earnest in 1930 when he became a Democratic precinct captain. After an unsuccessful run for alderman in 1931, he persevered and won election to the Chicago City Council in 1935 as the representative of the 38th Ward. This position became his political home for over two decades, with consecutive reelections until 1958.
His political ascent accelerated when Mayor Anton J. Cermak appointed him as signal engineer for the Chicago Police Department, leveraging his technical background. He later served on the board of local improvements, building his reputation for competence and effectiveness.
Perhaps Cullerton's most significant contribution came through his chairmanship of the City Council's Finance Committee, a position he held from 1953 onward. This role, often considered the most powerful in the council, earned him the unofficial title of "assistant mayor" and granted him considerable influence over Chicago's financial decisions.
Simultaneously, Cullerton chaired the council's Emergency Committee, where he worked to eliminate fraud and waste in city operations. This dual responsibility demonstrated his commitment to effective governance and fiscal responsibility.
Cullerton proved a crucial ally to Mayor Richard J. Daley, particularly during the pivotal 1955 primary election that secured Daley's mayoral victory. Their alliance exemplified the power of Chicago's Democratic machine, with Cullerton representing a key component in Daley's political network.
In 1958, Cullerton transitioned to county government when he became Cook County Assessor. He held this position through multiple successful reelections until his retirement in 1974. As Assessor, he focused on ensuring fairness in property assessments while maintaining his influence within the Democratic political machine.
His retirement came amid a federal probe in 1974, after which—with Mayor Daley's blessing—he handed the assessor's position to his protégé, Tom Tully. Tully won the subsequent election but retired in 1978.

Special Collections Department Beyond his governmental service, Cullerton actively participated in civic organizations, notably being elected president of the Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago in 1959. This involvement reflected his deep connection to Chicago's Irish American community and his commitment to civic life beyond politics.
At the time of his death on January 26, 1981, Cullerton was marking his fiftieth year in Chicago politics while still serving as the 38th Ward's Democratic committeeman. His passing was mourned as a profound loss to the city he had served for half a century.
In a tribute before the House of Representatives on January 28, 1981, Illinois Representative Frank Annunzio honored Cullerton's memory, describing him as "a quiet man who carefully listened to the people he represented" and who "prided himself on getting the proposals he initiated passed by the city council." Annunzio, who considered Cullerton a friend for over forty years, emphasized how he "greatly benefited from his advice and counsel."
Patrick J. Cullerton's legacy stands as a testament to effective public service in Chicago politics. Through his quiet leadership, strategic alliances, and genuine concern for his constituents, he helped shape Chicago Item 2A - Page 29
12 governance for generations to come. As Representative Annunzio concluded, Cullerton will be "remembered as one of the great leaders of Chicago."2

HARRY F. CHADDICK (CO-OWNER 1961-1965)
Harry Francis Chaddick (August 27, 1902 – May 30, 1994) transformed himself from a West Side Chicago stock boy into a multimillionaire whose influence shaped Chicago's skyline, revolutionized the American transportation industry, and ultimately benefited countless lives through his philanthropy. His extraordinary journey represents the quintessential American success story—one marked by innovation, adaptation, and a commitment to giving back.
Born to modest circumstances on Chicago's West Side, Chaddick entered the workforce at a young age. His early positions as a stock boy and later as an assistant pharmacist in a local drugstore instilled in him the tenacious work ethic that would become his hallmark.
In 1924, at just twenty-two years old, Chaddick took his first major entrepreneurial step by founding American Transportation Co. with a single truck purchased for $350. This humble beginning would evolve 2 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD- HOUSE January 28, 1981. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-Wednesday, January 28, 1981 Item 2A - Page 30
13 into one of the nation's largest trucking enterprises through his innovative approach to transportation logistics.
Chaddick distinguished himself as a transportation pioneer through several groundbreaking innovations. He was among the first to implement the "piggyback" method—an integrated approach combining rail and truck shipping that dramatically improved efficiency. His company also led the industry by equipping trucks with two-way radios, enhancing communication and operational effectiveness long before such technology became standard.
By the 1930s and 1940s, Chaddick's trucking operation had grown into one of the largest in the United States.
His expertise in logistics earned him national recognition, and he became an influential voice in transportation policy, regularly negotiating with powerful labor unions, including Jimmy Hoffa's Teamsters.
During World War II, Chaddick's logistical acumen was put to patriotic use when he oversaw the crucial transportation of troops and supplies to North Africa. This contribution to the war effort further cemented his reputation as a master of logistics. In 1954, having built a transportation empire, Chaddick sold his trucking businesses and by 1957 had largely exited the shipping industry to pursue new challenges.
Chaddick's transition to urban planning began in the late 1940s when Mayor Martin H. Kennelly recruited him to resolve contentious zoning disputes regarding truck terminals in Chicago. His successful mediation led to his appointment as the city's Director of Zoning under both Mayor Kennelly and his successor, the legendary Mayor Richard J. Daley.
In 1957, Chaddick spearheaded the development of Chicago's first Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance—a landmark achievement that modernized the city's zoning laws and encouraged retail and high-rise development. This visionary reform facilitated the development of iconic Chicago landmarks, including the Daley Center and First Chicago Plaza. Despite the far-reaching impact of his work, Chaddick later characterized his approach to zoning as pragmatic rather than visionary—a modest assessment of his transformative influence on Chicago's urban landscape.
After departing the trucking industry, Chaddick channeled his entrepreneurial energy into real estate development as the head of First American Realty. His talent for identifying underutilized properties led to several significant developments, including the transformation of a former World War II aircraft engine plant into the Ford City Mall. His portfolio expanded to include other notable shopping centers such as the Brickyard Shopping Center, Forest Park Mall, and Addison Mall.
Chaddick's vision extended beyond Chicago to Palm Springs, California, which he first visited in 1946.
Recognizing the desert community's potential, he acquired several key properties by the early 1960s and collaborated with renowned architect William F. Cody to develop prestigious projects, including the Tennis Club Hotel, the Palm Springs Country Club, and the Andreas Hills residential neighborhood.
Item 2A - Page 31
14 In 1987, Chaddick sold First American Realty and its affiliated entities to Lexington Development Corp. of Arlington Heights, though he maintained Harry F. Chaddick Associates as a consulting firm until gradually retiring from active business pursuits.
Chaddick's personal life was as eventful as his professional career. He married Rose Badall (1910-1989) on his birthday, August 27, 1924, and they had one daughter, Camille (1925-1999), before eventually divorcing. His second marriage to Maybelle Arpin in 1934 ended with her death in 1941.
In 1955, Chaddick married Elaine Torbin (1914-2002) after meeting her at a Chicago nightclub. Elaine proved to be not just a life partner but a crucial ally in his business endeavors, hosting influential gatherings that brought together Chicago's business and political elites. The couple formed close friendships with key figures, including Mayor Richard J. Daley and Jay McMullen, husband of future Mayor Jane Byrne.
Perhaps the most harrowing chapter of Chaddick's personal life came on May 8, 1979, when Elaine was kidnapped from their Palm Springs home. Held for three days in the desert near Joshua Tree National Park, her ordeal culminated in a dramatic ransom exchange, a high-speed chase, and gunfire before she managed to free herself and reunite with Harry and FBI agents. This remarkable incident later inspired both a book—FBI agent Herb Clough's 2008 Night of the Full Moon—and a 2017 film titled Do It or Die.
In the twilight of his career, Chaddick channeled his considerable resources into philanthropy. He and Elaine established the Harry F. and Elaine Chaddick Foundation in 1986, which funded medical, scientific, educational, and religious organizations. His substantial contributions to The Salvation Army helped establish both a social service center on Chicago's South Side and a fifty-one-unit senior citizens residence.
His philanthropic vision extended to academia through his support of DePaul University, where he helped establish the Chaddick Institute for Urban Development—ensuring that his expertise in urban planning would benefit future generations. In recognition of his commitment to education and urban planning, Chaddick was inducted into the Chicago Board of Realtors Hall of Fame in 1988.
In 1990, Chaddick published his autobiography, Chaddick! Success Against the Odds, documenting his extraordinary journey from humble beginnings to business titan and philanthropist. His extensive papers, including records of his pioneering work in zoning and real estate, were later acquired by DePaul University's Special Collections and Archives, preserving his legacy for future scholars.
Harry Francis Chaddick passed away in hospice care on May 30, 1994, at the age of 91, leaving behind a transformed Chicago landscape, innovations in transportation that continue to influence logistics today, and philanthropic institutions that carry forward his commitment to urban development and social welfare.

CHADDICK AND CODY COLLABORATIONS IN PALM SPRINGS
Beginning in 1960, Harry F. Chaddick established himself as one of Palm Springs' most influential developers, transforming the desert landscape through a series of ambitious projects that would redefine luxury living in the area. His visionary approach to development, coupled with his strategic partnership with renowned architect William F. Cody, created an architectural legacy that continues to shape Palm Springs' aesthetic identity today. Chaddick's investment in Palm Springs was driven by his unwavering belief in the city's potential as a premier luxury destination, leading him to acquire and develop over 1,000 acres of property throughout the region.

16 The Tennis Club: (1961-1973)
The partnership between Chaddick and Cody began in earnest with the 1961 acquisition of the prestigious Palm Springs Tennis Club. Purchasing the property from Palm Springs pioneer Mrs. Pearl McManus for $1 million, Chaddick immediately recognized the club's untapped potential. Rather than simply maintaining the status quo, he envisioned transforming the existing facility into a comprehensive luxury destination while preserving its exclusive character and historic charm.
Modernization and Expansion (1962-1965)
Upon acquiring the club, Chaddick enlisted Cody—already established as a leading figure in Midcentury Modern architecture—to oversee an ambitious redesign. The initial renovations focused on enhancing existing amenities, including remodeling the swimming pool, expanding the tennis courts to six, and upgrading the club's living units and landscaping.
In 1962, Chaddick commissioned Cody to design more than twenty bungalows across the street from the clubhouse. Completed in 1963, these luxurious accommodations elevated the club's offerings by providing comprehensive amenities including housekeeping, switchboard service, and room service. The success of this initial expansion prompted Chaddick to commission Cody to design additional bungalows on an adjoining property to the east in 1964. This strategic expansion transformed the Tennis Club from a recreational facility into a premier residential and hospitality destination.
The Tennis Club Homes (1963-1965)
Building on the success of the bungalows, Chaddick unveiled plans for The Tennis Club Homes in 1963—a pioneering condominium development featuring fifty units designed to complement the club's existing aesthetic. Cody's design epitomized modernist elegance with clean, rectangular forms and floor-to-ceiling glass that maximized views while integrating indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Each unit featured two bedrooms, with the most luxurious option offering a two-story layout spanning 2,178 square feet. The model home, expertly furnished by celebrated interior designer Arthur Elrod, showcased Cody's commitment to understated luxury and functional design. Despite initial zoning challenges—the land was designated for single-family residences—Chaddick persevered, breaking ground in February 1965 and establishing the Tennis Club as a full-fledged residential community comparable to emerging golf club developments such as Eldorado Country Club.
The Tennis Club Hotel (1969-1973)
With the Tennis Club thriving as a residential and recreational destination, Chaddick sought to further expand its offerings. In 1969, he purchased the McManus estate directly north of the club, initially proposing an ambitious ten-story, 200-room hotel. When zoning restrictions proved prohibitive, he modified his vision to a six-story, 150-room hotel in 1971, but continued to face regulatory challenges.
Undeterred, Chaddick and Cody adapted their plans once again, presenting a redesigned two-story, 106-room luxury hotel in 1972 that complied with existing zoning laws. The revised design incorporated underground Item 2A - Page 34
17 parking, additional swimming pools, and staggered architectural sections that enhanced visual appeal while maintaining the club's intimate ambiance.
Working within the constraints of a narrow lot, Cody employed innovative techniques to avoid monotony, including setbacks, projecting walls, and his signature cantilevered balconies. Rather than conventional corridors, he designed breezeways lined with large planters, creating a distinctive passage for guests. The structural walls, crafted from beige-colored split-face concrete block, harmonized with the natural surroundings and echoed the texture of nearby Mount San Jacinto.
Completed in November 1973, the Tennis Club Hotel represented the culmination of Chaddick and Cody's collaborative vision, seamlessly bridging the single-story bungalows with the majestic mountain backdrop and cementing Chaddick's reputation as one of Palm Springs' most influential developers.
Andreas Hills (1968-1973)
In 1968, Chaddick unveiled his most ambitious Palm Springs project to date: a $20 million residential and hotel development on a sprawling 401-acre tract in the southern region of the city. Andreas Hills-in-the-Canyon was conceived as an elite residential enclave that would blend luxury living with the dramatic desert landscape, marketed as the "Bel Air of Palm Springs."
Cody's master plan for Andreas Hills encompassed luxury single-family homes, high-rise condominiums, and a resort hotel. Construction began before the end of the 1968-69 resort season, with high-end amenities including a clubhouse, putting greens, and equestrian trails designed to appeal to sophisticated buyers seeking a comprehensive and refined desert lifestyle.
By the early 1970s, Andreas Hills entered its second phase, introducing an array of two- and three-bedroom condominiums and townhouses. The grand opening was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Hollywood celebrities, reinforcing the development's elite status. Cody's architectural excellence during this phase earned him an Award of Excellence from the Inland California Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
Chaddick's vision for Andreas Hills culminated in 1973 with the launch of Phase III, which added more highend homes and condominiums. Each of the three condominium complexes was thoughtfully organized around lush green spaces and resort-style swimming pools, fostering a sense of community and leisure. As an additional incentive for potential buyers, homeowners were offered complimentary memberships to either the Palm Springs Tennis Club or the Whitewater Country Club, reinforcing Chaddick's concept of an integrated luxury lifestyle.
While the originally planned luxury hotel component was never executed, Andreas Hills flourished as a prestigious residential community. Cody's signature design elements—post-and-beam construction, expansive glass facades, and the use of organic materials—became defining characteristics of the development, creating a cohesive architectural identity that continues to distinguish Andreas Hills to this day.
Item 2A - Page 35
18 Whitewater Country Club (1966-1978)
In 1966, demonstrating his characteristic ability to identify overlooked potential, Chaddick made a strategic investment in the San Jacinto Golf Club—a failed golf course development in northern Palm Springs. While the property had deteriorated beyond its economic potential in the eyes of many investors, Chaddick recognized an opportunity in its twenty-eight-acre island of vacant land at the center of the course.
In 1969, he expanded his investment by acquiring the San Jacinto Country Club, which he renamed Whitewater. In 1971, construction began on the Country Club Condominiums, with the first phase of sixty units completed by spring 1972, followed by a second phase of thirty-eight units in January 1975. When Cody suffered a stroke before designing the third and fourth phases, architect Bernard Leung stepped in to complete the project according to the established design principles.
The development's comprehensive master plan included 236 condominium units constructed in five phases between 1972 and 1977. The first units, located along the southwestern portion of Whitewater Club Drive, were completed in 1972. The second phase, south of Easy Street, followed in 1974, with subsequent phases— including units north of Easy Street and the westernmost residences—developed after 1977.
These "Fairway Condominiums" offered diverse living options, featuring one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts in both single-story and two-story designs, ranging from 1,794 to 2,310 square feet. To prevent visual monotony, Cody incorporated four distinct building types with six different unit layouts ranging from 885 to 1,430 square feet. Drawing inspiration from his work at Andreas Hills, he arranged the Whitewater condos around lush green spaces and swimming pools, creating an environment of tranquility and refined leisure.
To establish a clear identity for the property, Chaddick rebranded the club as the Palm Springs Country Club in 1978. Enhancements included new tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a clubhouse officially dedicated on November 25, 1972. Despite the high-quality construction and the prestige associated with Cody's architectural designs, the Palm Springs Country Club never achieved the commercial success of Chaddick's other ventures.
Legacy
Chaddick's contributions to Palm Springs' architectural landscape extended beyond these major developments, with his portfolio ultimately encompassing more than 1,000 acres throughout the region. His partnership with William F. Cody produced some of the most distinctive examples of Midcentury Modern architecture in the area, creating spaces that seamlessly integrated indoor and outdoor living while responding sensitively to the desert environment.
Chaddick's ability to transform underutilized properties into vibrant, upscale communities demonstrated his exceptional entrepreneurial vision. In recognition of his achievements and his remarkable journey from humble beginnings to becoming a leading figure in the real estate industry, Chaddick received the prestigious Horatio Alger Award in 1970.
Today, Chaddick's developments remain an integral part of Palm Springs' architectural heritage, embodying the optimistic spirit of midcentury modernism and serving as enduring testaments to his vision of desert luxury.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE CULLERTON-CHADDICK RESIDENCE
Patrick J. Cullerton and Harry F. Chaddick had been good friends in Chicago for many years, outside of the community work they routinely did together. In his role as alderman, Cullerton had asked Chaddick, with his planning background, to rezone the city of Chicago. As Chaddick later recalled, "I took on the job of rezoning Chicago because Parky Cullerton asked me to when he couldn't get anyone else to do it. I worked on it for five years, developing a complete inventory of the city's land use. I did it with no vision in mind, merely figuring out how the city's land was being used."
The Cullertons and Chaddick began visiting Palm Springs after World War II ended. The Cullertons were the first to purchase a home there, buying a recently built residence at 573 West Mariscal Drive in Chino Mesa Estates in 1950. In 1955, Cullerton's brother John and his wife Esther bought a property three houses east at 467 West Mariscal. That same year, Chaddick married Elaine Torbin on the patio of the Cullerton residence.
A few years later, the Chaddicks purchased a house at the northeast corner of West Mariscal and North Via Norte, several dwellings east of the Cullerton residence.
Item 2A - Page 39
22 In March 1960, Alice Meyer, the original owner of 572 Santa Elena, died. Later that year, in December, Cullerton's home, which was directly adjacent to Meyer's property to the north, was listed for sale due to the owner's illness—though Cullerton lived for twenty-one more years with no documented explanation of this illness in the research for this nomination.
In April 1961, Chaddick purchased the Tennis Club for $1 million. The following month, on May 26, 1961, the estate of Alice Meyer sold 572 Santa Elena to Patrick J. Cullerton and Harry F. Chaddick jointly. Their intent for the house remains unclear, as both men continued to reside in their existing homes for several years afterward. The 1962 Palm Springs Telephone Directory lists "Cullerton & Chaddick" as the residents at 572 Santa Elena, while both men are separately listed at their own addresses as well.

The acquisition of 572 Santa Elena coincided with the beginning of Chaddick's extensive collaboration with architect William F. Cody, who would design nearly all of Chaddick's major projects in the Palm Springs area.
While Cody worked on upgrading the Tennis Club, he also designed a swimming pool for Chaddick's personal residence in 1963, with the drawings now preserved in the Cody archives at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Concurrent with these projects, Cody developed plans to completely transform the modest Alice Meyer residence, retaining only the foundation and chimney. The renovated home, which added 800 square feet, emerged as a masterwork of modernist desert architecture that seamlessly integrated contemporary design with Palm Springs vernacular traditions. Constructed in 1965, the residence exemplifies Cody's signature aesthetic through its geometric forms, natural materials, and sophisticated indoor-outdoor living spaces.

25 Streetside Façade
Approaching the residence, the streetside façade presents a meticulously designed entryway. Originally, a pergola structure with six squared stucco columns supported an open-beamed roof above the parking area, backed by a slumpstone retaining wall. During the 2020 restoration, this structure was removed and replaced with exposed aggregate paving. A new decorative concrete block wall, matching the original walls' detailing, was added along the eastern edge of the parking area.
A series of low slumpstone retaining walls with wide concrete steps ascend to the entry structure, flanked by two imposing rectangular stucco columns that mirror the overhanging supports of the adjacent house. A massive, angled wood beam connects these columns, its tilt reflecting the house's overhang, while the space above remains open. A custom-designed steel gate features vertical rectangular flat steel bars and a horizontal panel housing the address numbers and doorknob, echoing the hardware of the main entrance. Beyond the gate, an exposed aggregate landing welcomes visitors.

Screen block elements composed of standard rectangular concrete bricks in varied orientations create a distinctive pattern reminiscent of Cody's terracotta screen walls at the Racquet Club Garden Villas. The landscape incorporates gray granite boulders and gravel interspersed with desert plants and palm trees. The façade's western portion transitions to vertical rough-hewn board-and-batten siding, with alternating narrow and wide battens as a contemporary reference to Palm Springs' ranch-style heritage. A large garage door marks the end of this façade.

Past the entry gate, visitors encounter an exposed aggregate landing open to the sky. A rightward turn begins a narrowing passageway that creates a dynamic spatial experience before opening into a covered entry pavilion. The passageway constricts further where a projecting room extends into this space. Here, two substantial rectangular columns support a double-beamed ceiling of rough-sawn wood with translucent white stain.

31 One step up leads to a broad white terrazzo platform. To the right, a slumpstone retaining wall and descending steps connect to the swimming pool and garden. To the left, a deep overhang supported by rectangular stucco columns extends toward a solid wall, sheltering a primary façade of sliding glass doors. Two shallow steps lead to a recessed double-door entry adorned with custom hardware—a Cody signature. The doors were upholstered in black imitation leather with nailhead trim.
Further along, the front façade projects outward from a bedroom, with additional steps leading to another sliding glass door. The front loggia terminates in a seating area paved in exposed aggregate centered around a sunken firepit. Behind this, a blue decorative panel in a concrete wall cascades water into a narrow pool, adding a soothing auditory element. The pitched roofs feature split wood shakes, reminiscent of Cody's Abernathy Residence.
Garden
The garden features a cruciform-shaped swimming pool with a matching cruciform spa, both original elements from Cody's 1965 design. The surrounding white terrazzo pool deck mirrors this cruciform layout and is enclosed by slumpstone walls. A narrow turf strip borders the pool deck, leading to an exposed aggregate seating area framed by a slumpstone retaining wall. From this vantage point, concrete steps descend to a larger lawn bordered by natural granite boulders.

Privacy is maintained by ficus hedges encircling the garden, while various palm species provide vertical interest.
A cluster of Aleppo pines offers additional shade. Throughout the landscape, gravel planting beds showcase diverse desert flora. North of the house, an expanse of gray gravel with larger boulders hosts a grove of palo verde trees and other desert-adapted plants.
Two concrete patios extend the living space into the garden. One adjoins the primary bedroom, creating an intimate outdoor retreat, while a larger patio off the dining room features a slatted wood pergola supported by wooden posts and beams. This shaded terrace includes a panel of turf, a stucco-covered brick retaining wall, and large embedded boulders. Steps ascend to another exposed aggregate seating area sheltered by mature trees.

33 Interior
The grand double-door entry opens into a spacious living room dominated by a book-matched wood-paneled wall with an elegant fireplace framed in matching wood and faced with white marble. Opposite this feature, expansive sliding glass doors connect to the outdoors. White terrazzo flooring throughout the public spaces continues the material palette from exterior to interior.
Adjacent to the living room, the dining area continues the rich book-matched wood paneling theme. A wall of floor-to-ceiling folding wood doors with piano hinges conceals a large mirrored wet bar featuring olive green Formica counters and glass shelving. Floor-to-ceiling aluminum-framed sliding glass doors complete the space.
The kitchen, accessible from the dining room, features tall folding wood doors topped with a mirrored panel.
Cabinetry crafted from the same book-matched wood pairs with white quartz countertops and white terrazzo flooring. A signature Cody detail—a large sliding window flush with the kitchen counter—invites natural light and garden views.
From the living room, a doorway leads to an intimate den where a fireplace echoes the living room's design.
Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open to the exterior, where a vertical steel waist-high fence mirrors one found near the motor court. A floor-to-ceiling fixed-pane window frames a garden view, reinforcing Cody's commitment to indoor-outdoor integration.
A short hallway lined with closets behind folding wooden doors connects to two spacious bedrooms, each with an adjoining bathroom. These private spaces maintain Cody's design language through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and fixed-pane windows that open to the surrounding gardens, ensuring constant dialogue between interior and exterior environments.

EVALUATION
CRITERION 1 – Significant Events - The resource is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community: The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is not affiliated with significant events and does not qualify under Criterion 1.
CRITERION 2 – Significant Persons - The resource is associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state or local history. The individual's association with the property must be connected to the specific period when he or she made his or her contributions to American history. Properties that are not associated with an individual's significant accomplishments, such as birthplaces, childhood homes, vacation homes, or retirement homes, are usually not eligible:
The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence was owned by longtime Chicago alderman Patrick J. Cullerton. Cullerton was from a prominent family who had been councilmembers in Chicago for 144 years. It was co-owned by Harry F. Chaddick, a multimillionaire philanthropist, real estate developer, and former Director of Zoning of Chicago. In the 1960s through the 1970s, Chaddick was Palm Springs’ biggest and most important land developer, whose projects left a lasting imprint on the desert resort. Chaddick’s architect of choice for his extensive projects was William F. Cody. Though the Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is affiliated with significant Item 2A - Page 54
37 persons, both locally and nationally, it was primarily Cullerton’s vacation home, and therefore, does not qualify under Criterion 2.
ARCHITECTURE (Criterion 3 – 6)
CRITERION 3 - The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history: The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence, completed in 1965, exhibits many stylistic markers which place it directly in the historic context of Palm Springs’ “Post-World War II Palm Springs” period. The customdesigned residential structure represents a prime example of significant Post-war architecture for which Palm Springs is internationally known. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence may be viewed as an important component of the historic trends that have come to define Palm Springs’ image as a center of notable Modern architecture, i.e., a historic trend that exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history.
The structure qualifies for listing as a Class 1 Historic Resource on the local registry under Criterion 3.
CRITERION 4 - The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction: The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is eligible under the theme of Modern architecture because it possesses numerous distinct features that make up the Midcentury Modern style. It is a high-end custom Midcentury Modern residence designed by master architect William F. Cody, using both simple but highquality materials that root it to the site, as well as his signature wholly contemporary interpretation of the Old California ranch vernacular of early Palm Springs, it has significance for its distinctive characteristics. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence qualifies as a Class 1 Historic Resource under Criterion 4.
CRITERION 5 - The resource presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his or her age; or that possesses high artistic value.
High artistic values may be expressed in many ways, including areas as diverse as community design or planning, engineering, and sculpture. The structure designed by master architect William F. Cody is eligible under the theme of Modern architecture because it possesses numerous distinctive characteristics that make up the Midcentury Modern style. These attributes include Cody’s signature synthesis of elegantly contemporary Modernism with the local ranch-style architecture, including: wood shake roof, hand-trowelled stucco, and wood board-and-batten, combined with aluminum, glass, and terrazzo. As a custom structure artfully designed by Cody, this building rises to a master architect's level with high artistic values. Therefore, for its distinctive characteristics representing the Midcentury Modern style, as a master architect's work, and its high artistic values, the Cullerton-Chaddick Residence qualifies as a Class 1 Historic Resource under Criterion 5.
CRITERION 6 - That represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. This Criterion was created to address the resources contained within a potential historic district and as such it does not apply to this nomination. Hence, the structure does not qualify Item 2A - Page 55
38 under Criterion 6.
Criterion 7 - That has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to the national, state or local history or prehistory. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is not likely to yield information important to the national, state or local history or prehistory. Hence, the structure does not qualify under Criterion 7.
SUMMARY: This evaluation finds The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence eligible for listing as a Palm Springs Historic Resource under 8.05.070 (C.1.a.) paragraphs (iii, iv, and v) of the local ordinance’s seven criteria.
INTEGRITY ANALYSIS (USING US SECRETARY OF THE
INTERIOR STANDARDS)
INTEGRITY
Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. To be listed in the local registry, a property must not only be shown to be significant under the criteria, but it also must have integrity. The evaluation of integrity is sometimes a subjective judgment, but it must always be grounded in an understanding of a property's physical features and how they relate to its significance. Historic properties either retain integrity (that is, convey their significance) or they do not. The definition of integrity includes seven aspects or qualities. To retain historic integrity a property will always possess several, and usually most, of the aspects.
The retention of specific aspects of integrity is paramount for a property to convey its significance.
Determining which of these aspects are most important to a particular property requires knowing why, where, and when the property is significant. The following sections define the seven aspects and explain how they combine to produce integrity.
DESIGN
Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. It results from conscious decisions made during the original conception and planning of a property and applies to activities as diverse as community planning, engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture. Design includes such elements as organization of space, proportion, scale, technology, ornamentation, and materials.
A property’s design reflects historic functions and technologies as well as aesthetics. It includes such considerations as the structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; pattern of fenestration; textures and colors of surface materials; type, amount, and style of ornamental detailing. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residences' essential elements of form, plan, space, structures, configuration, and style have remained largely intact. Similarly, the structural system, massing, the arrangement of spaces, and the type, amount, and style of detailing have survived with a reasonably large portion intact. William F. Cody’s signature synthesis of the Midcentury Modern aesthetic is blended with the more substantial ranch vernacular, emphasizing rich materials and interesting textures. The large Item 2A - Page 56
39 expanses of glass still flood the interiors with natural light, emphasizing the indoor/outdoor relationship in every room.
MATERIALS
Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a period and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. The choice and combination of materials reveals the preferences of those who created the property and indicate the availability of types of materials and technologies. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence’s materials successfully represent the best of Midcentury Modern design, with high-quality but simple hand-trowelled stucco, wood, brick, decorative masonry, and terrazzo.
WORKMANSHIP
Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. It is the evidence of artisans’ labor and skill in constructing or altering a building, structure, object, or site. Workmanship can apply to the property as a whole or to its individual components. It can be expressed in vernacular methods of construction and plain finishes or in highly sophisticated configurations and ornamental detailing. It can be based on common traditions or innovative period techniques.
Workmanship is important because it can furnish evidence of the technology of a craft, illustrate the aesthetic principles of a historic or prehistoric period, and reveal individual, local, regional, or national applications of both technological practices and aesthetic principles. Examples of workmanship in historic buildings include tooling, carving, painting, graining, turning, and joinery. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence continues to reflect William F. Cody’s original as-designed relationship between the structure and site. As is typical of other Cody-designed structures, the Cullerton-Chaddick Residence was built using high-quality materials, and had an emphasis on the horizontal line. …contemporary materials like terrazzo glass, and aluminum express Cody’s forward-thinking Modern style.
LOCATION
Location is the place where a historic property was constructed or the place where a historic event occurred.
The relationship between the property and its location is often important to understand why the property was created or why something happened. The actual location of a historic property, complemented by its setting, is particularly important in recapturing the sense of historic events and persons. Except in rare cases, the relationship between a property and its historic associations is destroyed if the property is moved. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence remains in its original location and therefore qualifies under this aspect.
SETTING
Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. Whereas location refers to the specific place where a property was built or an event occurred, setting refers to the character of the place in which the property played its historical role. It involves how, not just where, the property is situated and its relationship to surrounding features and open space. Setting often reflects the basic physical conditions under which a property was built and the functions it was intended to serve. In addition, the way in which a property is positioned in its environment can reflect the designer’s concept of nature and aesthetic preferences. The Item 2A - Page 57
40 Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is a contemporary residence that references details of the earlier ranch-style vernacular architecture of Palm Springs. Designed for a generous lot in the Chino Mesa Estates tract, the setting of the Cullerton-Chaddick Residence continues to reflect William F. Cody’s original design relationship of site and structure.
FEELING
Feeling is a property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period. It results from the presence of physical features that, taken together, convey the property’s historic character. For example, a rural historic district retaining original design, materials, workmanship, and setting will relate the feeling of agricultural life in the nineteenth century. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is an elegant custom home that features many of architect William F. Cody’s signature design elements, and it still conveys a sense of the Midcentury Modern period for which Palm Springs is internationally renowned. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence boasts a scale and presence that still blend seamlessly into this unique neighborhood. Accordingly, the Cullerton-Chaddick Residence retains its original integrity of feeling.
ASSOCIATION
Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. A property retains association if it is the place where the event or activity occurred and is sufficiently intact to convey that relationship to an observer. Like feeling, association requires the presence of physical features that convey a property’s historic character. For example, a Revolutionary War battlefield whose natural and man-made elements have remained intact since the 18th century will retain its quality of association with the battle. Because feeling and association depend on individual perceptions, their retention alone is never sufficient to support eligibility of a property for the National Register. The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is a fine example of a custom-designed home by William F. Cody in his signature Midcentury Modern style. Architectural signatures, such as the contemporary interpretation of Ranch vernacular with wood shake roofs, terrazzo, and large expanses of glass, allow one to recognize the structure as the work of William F. Cody.
INTEGRITY SUMMARY: This integrity analysis confirms that the site and structure of the CullertonChaddick Residence still possess seven aspects of integrity.

46 V CHINO MESA ESTATES
The Subdivision: Chino Mesa Estates
Developed in 1945 by Ernst Off (1901–1993), Chino Mesa Estates was situated on 22.5 acres north of Old Las Palmas. Marketed as an exclusive enclave designed for high-end living, it featured thirty-six spacious parcels on a gentle slope that, at the time, provided unobstructed views over Palm Springs and the east valley.
Billed as "Exclusive, Restricted, Sheltered," Chino Mesa Estates catered to discerning buyers seeking privacy and prestige – as long as the buyers were white. The lots, each approximately half an acre, boasted 150 to 180 feet of frontage along paved streets, with sound restrictions ensuring long-term property value. Original prices ranged from $4,000 to $6,000, including all utilities.
Bounded by Via Escuela (north), Via Del Monte (east), and Chino Canyon (south), the tract was initially planned to extend west to Alto Camino, but this road was never built, leaving the neighborhood somewhat secluded. Today, homeowners along the unbuilt Alto Camino retain an easement that can be used for landscaping, but permanent structures are prohibited.3

Ernst Off: Pioneer Builder of Palm Springs
A visionary developer, Ernst Off played a key role in shaping Palm Springs from the 1930s onward. Ernst Dorothy Off was born May 4, 1901, in Unterreichenbach, Germany. He immigrated to the United States in 1923, settling in Palm Springs in 1930. In 1934, he married Maizie Keppler in Palm Springs. He also became a US citizen in 1934.4
In Palm Springs, he became a leading builder and businessman despite early warnings from colleagues that the desert town would not support real estate development. “In 1930 Palm Springs was a very small and charming village," he recalls. “Few people had heard of it and when I told my good friend, a Los Angeles banker that I was coming here, his comment was: ‘You’ll starve to death in that forsaken place.’"5 His impact extended beyond construction—he managed the Palm Springs airport, organized efforts to maintain its primitive sand runway, and even welcomed aviatrix Amelia Earhart during one of her historic flights. “One hot summer day, Ernst Off recollects, a strange flying machine came in for a landing. He rushed out to meet it and was able to greet the famous aviatrix Amelia Earhart who was with the Spanish inventor of the Auto-Giro. It was the first helicopter in the United States and was on its first cross-country flight.”6 As Off later recalled, “the airport at that time consisted of a graded sandstrip and a wooden shack not much larger than a telephone booth served as ‘office.’” The Desert Sun reported that, “Off recalls that when complaints were made about the condition of the ‘runway’ he organized volunteers to pull the biggest tumble weeds by hand and stomp out the biggest 4 Biographical information from Ancestry.com

48 gopher holes by foot.”7 Off was deeply involved in the community, serving as a Boy Scout leader and cofounding the Desert Riders equestrian club. His early projects included building some of the most prominent homes in Las Palmas, Palm Springs Estates, and Palm Canyon Mesa, as well as the first large ranch house in what would later become Palm Desert. In 1933, he partnered with Culver and Sally Nichols to develop El Mirador Estates, where he built his own Mexican hacienda-style honeymoon home, later owned by actor Charles Farrell.
After a brief time in Brentwood and Beverly Hills, Off returned to Palm Springs following World War II to continue his development work, with Chino Mesa Estates as one of his most ambitious projects. He later expanded his vision to Palm Desert, creating Palmeras Park, a model residential subdivision emphasizing landscaped entrances, private roads, lush palm groves, and architecturally distinctive homes.
With a career spanning over sixty years, Off left a lasting imprint on the luxury residential landscape of the Coachella Valley. He died in Palm Springs in 1993.8

A RESOLUTION OF THE HISTORIC SITE PRESERVATION
BOARD OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA,
RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DESIGNATE
THE CULLERTON-CHADDICK RESIDENCE LOCATED AT
572 WEST SANTA ELENA ROAD, A CLASS 1 HISTORIC
SITE (HSPB #165), APN #504-282-012.
THE HISTORIC SITE PRESERVATION BOARD ("HSPB") FINDS AND DETERMINES AS FOLLOWS:
A. WHEREAS, Chapter 8.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code allows for the designation of historic sites and districts; and
8. WHEREAS, The City of Palm Springs filed an application pursuant to Article Ill, Section 8.05.070 (Procedure and Criteria for Designation of Historic Resources) of the Palm Springs Municipal Code requesting historic resources designation for "The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence" located at 572 W. Santa Elena Road. The application included a historic resources report ("the report").
C. WHEREAS, on October 6, 2025, members of the Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB) conducted site inspections of the proposed historic resource, accompanied by City staff; and
D. WHEREAS, on October 7, 2025, a noticed public hearing of the Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board ("HSPB") to consider Case HSPB #165 was held in accordance with applicable law; and
E. WHEREAS, the HSPB carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including, but not limited to, the staff report and all written and oral testimony presented.
THE HISTORIC SITE PRESERVATION BOARD OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS RESOLVES:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS- PART "1", CRITERIA FOR HISTORIC RESOURCES.
Evaluation of the Application. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8.05.070 (C, 1,a}, the HSPB shall evaluate the application and make findings in conformance with the following criteria:
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:
Item 2A - Page 110
I
L
Resolution No. HSPB #165 -The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence
October 7, 2025
a. The site, structure, building, or object exhibits exceptional historic significance and meets one or more of the criteria listed below:
572 W. Santa Elena Drive is a single-family home designed by architect William F. Cody.
The site placement of the home responds to the surrounding views while ensuring privacy, and the swimming pool and spa were also done by Cody. In a recent remodel of the home, the roof was replaced with shake shingles, the exterior was painted in a pink buff color, and the existing carport structure was removed. The following is an analysis of the criterion and integrity findings for historic designation. (Criterion i) The resource is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community; No meaningful event is associated with this site, thus 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; Based on the information provided in the report, the Cody remodel of the home was associated with Patrick Sullerton and Harry Chaddick. While it is unclear why the property was co-owned by both individuals, address information reveals that they each had separate homes in the area. Chaddick was a prominent local developer that worked with Cody extensively throughout the 1960s and 1970s in Palm Springs, and it was likely this relationship that connected Cody to this project. Since the home was not a permanent address for either individual, this criterion is not met. (Criterion iii) The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history;
Early on, Cody was influenced by the works of Cliff May that exposed him to vernacular architecture of California. He tried to create a convenient and comfortable design incorporating views, light and nature. Cody also explored simple forms and gentle sloping roofs to minimize the appearance of the structure. 1 This home exemplifies the intersection between the vernacular style of architecture and the progressive ideas of Modernism.
Staff finds Criterion iii is met.
(Criterion iv) The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction;
Unlike the National Register criterion concerning construction, the Palm Springs evaluation of construction addresses the type (of construction), the period (of construction) and the method (of construction). The home was constructed using conventional methods and no new building materials or technology was specifically identified in the report. Criterion iv is not met.

Resolution No. HSPB #165 - The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence
October 7, 2025
(Criterion v) 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;
Architect William F. Cody arrived in Palm Springs in 1942 and became one of the key figures for the Palm Springs School of Desert Modernism. Some of his more seminal works in the desert include the Del Marcos Hotel (HSPB #78) on West Baristo Road, the Abernathy Residence (HSPB #86) on North Phillips Road, and the Goldberg Residence on Southridge Drive (HSPB #135). Cody's genius and influence, when it comes to design, is that it continually evolves. This home, for example, demonstrates layering of textures, geometries and natural materials which is completely different from the Euclidean approach used at the Goldberg Residence. This resource is a good representation of the architect's versatility during his years of prominence, thus Criterion v for historic significance is met.
(Criterion vi) 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
The resource is not within a historic district and does not qualify under Criterion vi. (Criterion vii) The resource has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state or local history or prehistory.
No information is available 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.
The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence is evaluated based on the following topics of integrity based on the Secretary of the Interior's Standards:
Location.
The home designed by William Cody is in its original location on the lot; therefore, the integrity of location is met.
Design.
The original residence was designed as a ranch-style home that was expanded by 800 square feet and completely remodeled. The report describes the design by Cody as a seamless integration of contemporary design with Palm Springs vernacular traditions.
The home uses building materials like masonry blocks, rough-hewn board-and-batten Item 2A - Page 112
I
L
Resolution No. HSPB #165- The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence
October 7, 2025
siding and wood shake shingles, similar characteristic found in the vernacular architecture of California, but also in integration of white terrazzo flooring, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and concrete screen blocks. The home is elevated on a plinth with asymmetrical columns supporting a deep overhang. The openings on the walls are large expanses of glass, but the pitched roof has shake shingles. Pathways and entrances have geometric shapes, and texture is created from the stucco surfaces, stacked concrete blocks and extruded wooden beams. Cody uses vernacular building materials in a modernist way that creates architectural interest. One element that was removed is a pergola structure in the parking area in 2020. Based on the report findings, staff finds the home retains its integrity of design by Cody.
Setting.
The setting of the home in the Chino Mesa Estates tract is surrounded by ample open space, and the neighborhood context consists of similar sized lots for single-family residential development. To the west of the lot is the land owned by the Desert Water Agency. The home retains its original setting.
Materials.
The home was built with materials that were commonly used during this period. The integrity of the slump stone walls, exterior stucco, floor to ceiling glazing, wooden beams and terrazzo are intact.
Workmanship.
While conventional methods of construction are utilized, the attention to detail allows for seamless transition of materials from the interior to the exterior. Staff finds the integrity of workmanship remains intact.
Feeling.
The home's modest scale to the surrounding context and use of materials represents the architect's original design response to the Modern Movement in the desert. The integrity of feeling remains strong.
Association.
The property is associated with architect William Cody, as well as the Mid-century Modern Movement of the post-World War II period. The integrity of association remains unchanged.
SECTION 3: DEFINING HISTORIC CHARACTERISTICS
When evaluating a property for historic designation, it is important to identify the original elements that contribute to its historic significance from later additions or alterations.
While these changes may be sympathetic to the original design, it can create a false sense of historicity. Distinguishing original character-defining features from non-original elements will aid the HSPB when it is tasked with evaluating future alterations to the historic resource.
Item 2A - Page 113

• Home on an elevated plinth
• Low slung pitched roofs clad in split wood shakes
• Rectangular stucco columns throughout
• Massive, angled wood beams connecting entry columns
• Screen block elements made of rectangular concrete bricks in varied orientations • Vertical rough-hewn board-and-batten siding with alternating narrow and wide battens

• Extension of materials (particularly terrazzo) from inside to outside • Multiple access points to outdoor spaces from nearly every room • Recessed light fixtures with the Fresnel lens
• Areas identified as original locations with exposed aggregate concrete paving • Original hardware on the front door
• Entry experience includes the progression from the motor court, turning 90 degrees under the walkway with an extended overhang towards the front door Non-contributing elements:
• Entry gate and matching gate outside of the den's sliding doors • Sliding glass doors at rear of the garage
• Firepit and waterfall area
• Exposed aggregate motor court paving and paving inside garden areas 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.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: October 7, 2025 PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: APPLICATION BY JONATHAN H. WURTZEL FOR HISTORIC SITE DESIGNATION OF “THE CULLERTON-CHADDICK RESIDENCE”
LOCATED AT 572 WEST SANTA ELENA ROAD, (APN 504-282-012) CASE: HSPB #165 (SY)
FROM: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY
This request for Class 1 historic designation was submitted by the current owner, Jonathan Wurtzel. 572 W. Santa Elena Road is a single-family home in the Little Tuscany neighborhood. The original ranch-style home that was on this lot was completed in 1948, but the home was completely rebuilt by architect William F. Cody in 1965. The period of significance for this site is 1965.
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 HSPB #165, “A RESOLUTION OF
THE HISTORIC SITE PRESERVATION BOARD OF THE CITY OF PALM
SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DESIGNATE “THE CULLERTON-CHADDICK RESIDENCE” LOCATED AT 572 WEST SANTA ELENA ROAD, AS A CLASS 1 (LANDMARK) HISTORIC RESOURCE, HSPB #165, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS (APN #504-282-012).” BACKGROUND AND SETTING:
The parcels in Chino Mesa Estates were marketed as exclusive residential development where each lot is approximately half an acre in size. The first owner, Alice Meyer, developed the lot with a modest ranch-style home in 1947 but after it was purchased by Cullerton and Chaddick in 1961, the home was completely redesigned by William F. Cody with only the original foundation and chimney remaining from the previous home. The house seen on the site today exemplifies the work of Cody and his use of natural materials, geometric forms and large expanses of fenestration. Since 2010, the various owners of the property have remodeled the interior and restored exterior features.

Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report October 7, 2025 HSPB-165 – The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence
Historic Context Statement “Post-World War II (1945-1969)” During the postwar period, middle-class prosperity brought significant changes to the housing industry in Palm Springs. From 1945 through the late 1960s, expansive and ambitious residential subdivisions and tract development began to take shape. The pattern of development from this era was less concentrated and more scattered, and Chino Mesa Estates was one of the first to be recorded during this time. 1 Context: Post-World War II Palm Springs (1945-1969)
Theme: Post World War II Single-Family Residential Development (1945-1969) Registration Requirements: To be eligible under this theme, a property must:
Date from the period of significance; and
Represent an excellent example of an architectural style or method of construction; or be associated with a significant architect or designer; and Display most of the character-defining features of the property type or style; and
Retain the essential aspects of historic integrity.
Context: Architectural Styles & Local Practitioners
Theme: Modern Styles of the Post-World War II Era
Sub-theme: Mid-century Modern
Registration Requirements: To be eligible under this theme as an excellent example of its architectural style, a property must:
Retain most – though not necessarily all – of the character-defining features of the style, and continue to exhibit its historic appearance If important for illustrating a particular architectural style or construction technique, must retain most of the physical features that constitute that style or technique.
ANALYSIS:
A historic resources report (“the report”), site visit, and city documents and forms are the basis of this staff report. The existing home was designed by architect William Cody in the Mid-century Modern style of architecture as a custom home. The report clarifies that the only remaining features from the original 1948 home were the foundation and chimney. Since the Cody redesign in 1965, changes made to the site and home have been identified in the report.
Historic Preservation activities in Palm Springs are regulated under Municipal Code Section 8.05 (“Historic Preservation”). The purpose of the Historic Preservation Ordinance is:
“…to stabilize and improve buildings, structures or areas which are considered to be of historical, architectural, archaeological or ecological 1 City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement “Post-World War II Palm Springs (1945-1969)”, 185.
