1.1 Background:

There are over 75 pieces in the City’s public art collection, ranging from outdoor sculptures, installations at the Palm Springs Airport, murals, and to art that is on loan to the city. 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. Cleaning and maintenance issues in the collection may result from our harsh environment, age, graffiti, and the original siting of art.

At this time the City of Palm Springs has prioritized the cleaning and maintenance of certain art pieces. The Contractor will provide the cleaning and maintenance services for these pieces.

1.2 Scope:

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.

It also includes removing graffiti (if graffiti can be removed with standard cleaning procedures), grime, residue from irrigation, bird droppings, gum and other environmental factors according to American Institute for Conservation Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice for each work.

2. Maintenance includes work such as removing corrosion, flaking paint, removing/reapplying protective surface / coatings, etc., according to American Institute for Conservation Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice for each work.

B. Repairs and Restoration– The Contractor shall repair and restore the pieces that have been identified as needing to be repaired and restoration. This may involve repairing breaks, creating replacement pieces for areas of loss, and filling cracks.

C. The City of Palm Springs relies on the professionalism and competence of the Contractor to be knowledgeable of the general areas identified in this scope of work and to have included in its proposal all required tasks and subtasks, personnel commitments, man-hours, direct and indirect costs, etc. The City of Palm Springs will not approve amendments to the Contractor’s agreement which do not involve a substantial change from the general scope of work identified in this Scope of Work.

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.

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.

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;

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

1.1 Background: There are over 75 pieces in the City’s public art collection, ranging from outdoor sculptures, installations at the Palm Springs Airport, murals, and to art that is on loan to the city. 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. Cleaning and maintenance issues in the collection may result from our harsh environment, age, graffiti, and the original siting of art.

At this time the City of Palm Springs has prioritized the cleaning and maintenance of certain art pieces. The Contractor will provide the cleaning and maintenance services for these pieces.

1.2 Scope:

E. Due to the security set forth by the TSA, please carefully review the following section below:

V – Page 1204 of 1899
Airport. Contractor will be required to comply with all federal security programs and will be responsible for all time and costs associated with obtaining Security IDs.

PSP security compliance will be reviewed with the successful contractor for the project. For purposes of the bid, the average cost to obtain an Airport ID, assuming that an individual qualifies for one, is $95.00 and requires approximately four hours of time and two trips to the Airport.

The PSP “Fingerprint/Badge Application” will be signed by a company representative listed on the “Authorized Signatory Letter”. The signatory verifies and approves the individual application for processing and also thereby confirms that all fees associated with fingerprinting and badge processing will be paid by the company. The fee schedule is available on the Airport website at www.palmspringsAirport.com

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

W – Page 1224 of 1899
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.

W – Page 1225 of 1899
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:

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.

A – Page 1241 of 1899
Resolution No.____

Page 4 of 7 ends

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:

A – Page 1242 of 1899

The Palm Springs Preservation Foundation (PSPF) is a non-profit organization whose mission is “to educate and promote public awareness of the importance of preserving the historical resources and architecture of the city of Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley area.” In March 2025, the PSPF board of directors assigned the task of writing the Chadwick-Cullerton Residence Class 1 Historic Resource nomination to Steven Keylon.

E X E C U T I V E S U M M A R Y

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

A – Page 1250 of 1899
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.

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

A – Page 1252 of 1899
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

A – Page 1253 of 1899
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

A – Page 1254 of 1899
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.

A – Page 1256 of 1899
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.

James Parker Collection, University of Illinois at Chicago. Library. 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

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

A – Page 1259 of 1899
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.

A – Page 1260 of 1899
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.

A – Page 1262 of 1899
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

A – Page 1263 of 1899
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.

A – Page 1264 of 1899
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.

A – Page 1268 of 1899
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.

28 Primary 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.

View southwest from garden area, looking toward swimming pool, spa, and house.

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

A – Page 1283 of 1899
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

A – Page 1284 of 1899
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

A – Page 1285 of 1899
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

A – Page 1286 of 1899
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

Nick and Diana Kouracos (Owners 1983 to 2011)
Nicholas James Kouracos was born in New Jersey on August 7, 1923, to James and Beatrice Kouracos, who had immigrated from Greece. He married Diana Kachantones (1925-2020) in Chicago on February 3, 1949. Kouracos was involved in real estate leasing in Chicago and worked at the HelmsleySpear company for many years as leasing manager for the Insurance Exchange Building. He died in 2019.

HISTORIC SITE PRESERVATION BOARD

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 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.

value, to foster civic beauty, to strengthen the local economy and to promote the use of historic resources for the education and welfare of the citizens.” Conditions that apply to Class 1 historic sites or resources:

1. It shall meet the definition of a historic site as outlined in Municipal Code Section

8.05.020.

2. An archival file shall be maintained on the property by the City.

3. It may be qualified as ‘historic’ at the federal, state, and/or county level.

4. A marker explaining the historic nature of the site may be installed in a location viewable from the public way.

5. Compliance with all rules and regulations for Historic Resources and Historic Districts under Chapter 8.05 of the Municipal Code.

6. If designated, the findings in support of designation shall be stated in a resolution of the City Council that shall be recorded with the County Recorders’ office within 90 days of the effective date of the Council’s resolution.

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:

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:
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

Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report October 7, 2025 HSPB-165 – The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence

Page 5 of 8 ends

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.2 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.
(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. 2 City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement “Post-World War II Palm Springs (1945-1969)”, 169.

A – Page 1348 of 1899
Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report October 7, 2025 HSPB-165 – The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence

Page 6 of 8 ends

(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.

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 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. 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.

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

A – Page 1349 of 1899
Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report October 7, 2025 HSPB-165 – The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence

Page 7 of 8 ends

seamless transition of materials from the interior to the exterior. Staff finds the integrity of workmanship remains intact.

Feeling.

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.

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.

Character-defining features on page 35 of the historic resources report and the staff analysis of important features are listed as follows:
• Site placement of the 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
• Cruciform-shaped swimming pool and matching cruciform spa (original to Cody's 1965 design)
• White terrazzo pool deck mirroring the cruciform layout • Slumpstone retaining walls throughout property
• Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and fixed-pane windows throughout • Floor-to-ceiling folding wood doors with piano hinges, concealing wet bar (interior) • Ceiling sections of rough-sawn wood with translucent white stain • Mirrored panels above doors
• Matching fireplace designs in living room and den (interior) • Seamless transitions between interior and exterior spaces • Strategic window placement framing garden views
• Extension of materials (particularly terrazzo) from inside to outside • Multiple access points to outdoor spaces from nearly every room

Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report October 7, 2025 HSPB-165 – The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence

Page 8 of 8 ends

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 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

NOTIFICATION:

Pursuant to section 8.05.140 of the Municipal Code of Palm Springs, all residents within five hundred (500) feet of the subject property have been notified and notice was published in a newspaper of general circulation.

CONCLUSION:

The Cullerton-Chaddick Residence meets the definition of a historic resource based on Criterion 3 and 5 of the Palm Springs Historic Preservation Ordinance and meets the necessary integrity findings to support its historic significance; therefore, staff recommends Class 1 Designation as a historic landmark property.

FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY:

The new owner of this mixed-use building has submitted a request to designate 457 N.

Palm Canyon Drive as a Class 1 historic site. Named after the furrier from Beverly Hills who commissioned the building, the Rubin Building was designed by architect Albert Raymond Walker in 1946. The original design arranged the commercial spaces along an open arcade on the ground floor, with residential units located on the second floor. This building typology embodies the growing population of Palm Springs during the early postwar period. The building is a unique example of Regency Revival architecture in the city’s commercial core distinguished by its Neoclassical elements, symmetry, and decorative motifs.

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).

RECOMMENDATION:
1) Open the public hearing and receive public testimony. 2) Close the public hearing and adopt Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE

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:

November 12, 2025
457 N. Palm Canyon is a two-story mixed-use building set back from the property line with a prominent storefront viewable from the street. The exterior appearance of the building is largely unchanged from the original design. 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; The building was originally constructed for the Beverly Hills furrier, Isador Rubin. Although he was a successful and prominent businessman in the Southern California region, he does not meet the threshold for significance under this criterion. (Criterion iii) The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state, or local history;
The postwar period in Palm Springs was a time of growth, transition, and expression.

Architectural experimentation became an identity, and mixed-use buildings became a solution for the diverse needs of a growing city. Mixed-use properties such as the La Plaza Center, the Kocher-Samson Building and the Pacific Building are some examples of this building typology that became increasingly important to the development of Palm Springs. The Rubin Building, also a mixed-use building, is designed in the Regency Revival style that utilizes a shopping arcade that survives with no major alterations. The design intent behind the arcade was to create the feeling of “a row of shops”. The building’s scale and delicate architectural detailing reflect the transition of architectural styles and uses specific to the period. This criterion 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 building was constructed with steel frames and concrete masonry units.

While not a commonly used method of construction for residential homes or small commercial buildings, this method of construction was not distinctive or uncommon. 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;
Albert R. Walker is a renowned architect attributed to designing numerous landmark structures in Los Angles, including the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, the United Artist Theater, and the Oviatt Building. Albert Walker and Percy Eisen also designed the original El Mirador Hotel in Palm

Springs which opened in 1927.1 From 1941 to 1954, Walker formed a partnership with Kalionzes and Zerbe and designed the Rubin Building in 1946. The report findings conclude that 457 N.

Palm Canyon Drive is a rare and exceptional example of a Regency Revival design by this office with nearly 95% of the original design intact. Matching the scale of the surrounding area, this mixed-use building is a good representation of the firm’s work and accurately reflects the needs of the period. 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.

1. Location:

The building is in its original location on the lot; therefore, the integrity of location is met.

2. Design:

The two-story mixed-use building evokes a sense of retail shopping seen in areas like Hollywood or Beverly Hills in the 1940s and 1950s. The front elevation is composed of two simple display windows that project outward, each set above a masonry planter and topped with a thin metal roof. The massing of the building feels solid with limited ornamentation but the ground floor entrance, projecting storefront windows, and the second-floor balcony create articulation to the front façade. The center arcade divides the commercial/retail spaces symmetrically, and the front two suites use Doric columns and decorative wood paneled doors to emphasize the Regency Revival style for the building. The open-air atrium provides natural light into the arcade space, 1 City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement “Palm Springs Between the Wars (1919-1941)”, 49.

and the stairs lead up to the residential units above. The railings and other decorative motifs found throughout the building help contribute to the architectural style of the building. The original drawings show little change to the design and layout of the building. City Council finds the existing condition exhibits a high level of design integrity.

3. Setting:

On an internalized lot, the building was situated in a retail and commercial corridor that was expanding in response to the economic boom experienced in Palm Springs after the wars. The integrity of setting remains unchanged.

4. Materials:

Based on the original drawings, the material and architectural detailing down to the wooden doors and iron railing remains extant. Minor changes like the green granite veneer and the security gate in front of the arcade were made but most of the original materials are still in place or replaced in kind. The overall integrity of material is met.

5. Workmanship:

The workmanship of the building is apparent in the architectural details that remain intact. The windows, storefronts, wooden doors and stone veneer are in good condition and demonstrate a high level of workmanship. City Council finds the integrity of workmanship is met.

6. Feeling:

The repeating storefronts and regency style continue to be the unifying aesthetic throughout the building. The integrity of feeling is met.

7. Association:

The property is associated with the Regency Revival style of architecture and exemplifies the economic vitality experienced in Palm Springs after the wars. The design of the building also remains consistent with the original design, therefore, maintains its association with the architect Walker and his firm. The integrity of association remains.

The following is a list of character-defining features identified by the City Council:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Proposed Undertaking: The subject building at 457 North Palm Canyon Drive is situated within a 6,534 square-foot parcel identified as Riverside County Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 513-082-007. The multifamily commercial building on the property is currently occupied, and the parcel is currently owned by Rest Area LLC, Costa Mesa, CA. The current property owners have requested that the built-environment resource be evaluated for historic significance in anticipation of undertaking future repairs and rehabilitation to the building.

Purpose and Scope of the Survey: Daly & Associates was retained to conduct a survey of the building situated at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr., and provide a historic evaluation for said building. The resulting report develops the historic context and statement of significance for the building located in the City of Palm Springs, California. Repairs and alterations of the building fall under the regulatory authority of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City of Palm Springs.

Summary of Investigation: An intensive-level survey was made of the building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. by Architectural Historian Pamela Daly, M.S., on May 20, 2025. The fieldwork consisted of performing a physical inspection of the interior and exterior of the building to determine if there is evidence of the subject property having the potential to be listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and as designated building in Palm Springs, CA.

Summary of Findings: Our investigation revealed that the property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. meets the criteria to be listed in the California Register of Historical Resources under Criterion A and C, and as a designated historic resource in the City of Palm Springs.

The property met the criteria to be a designated historic resource in the City of Palm Springs as a Pre- or Post-WWII commercial and multi-family residential building, and for being a rare and unique example of Regency Revival architecture applied to a commercial building. The subject building was designed in 1946 by the firm of master architect Albert R. Walker, and partners Gus W. Kalionzes and James A.

Zerbe. The building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. has met the criteria to be determined a significant historic property for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) for its association with the history of development in the commercial/retail district of Palm Springs, and for it being a rare and unique example of Regency Revival architecture applied to a building with a retail arcade and penthouse apartment units, and for being an important example of Albert R. Walker’s body-of-work.

As the property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. has been found to be eligible for being considered a designated historic resource in the City of Palm Springs, and for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, any future projects that will have the potential to alter the physical appearance of the exterior elevations of both the first floor arcade and second level, will be required to make any alterations in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

Disposition of Data: Copies of this report will be filed with the South Coastal Information Center at San Diego State University, San Diego. Original documentation will remain on file at Daly & Associates, Eugene, Oregon.

1.2 Previous Historic Property Investigations
In 2014, the City of Palm Springs commissioned a citywide historic context statement and historic resources survey of built resources as part of the ongoing historic preservation planning efforts in the city. In 2014, the City of Palm Springs became a Certified Local Government; maintaining and updating historic resources surveys of the built environment undertaken by qualified historic preservation professionals is a requirement of that program. The 2014 project included the development of a comprehensive citywide historic context statement and survey update of buildings constructed through 1969. The project was conducted between July 2014 and June 2016. The survey component of the project reviewed the properties that collectively comprised the City Historic Resources Database, and identified additional properties and neighborhoods that may be eligible as historic resources for inclusion on the City’s inventory. 1
The result of the survey resulted in an updated citywide inventory of properties and neighborhoods with potential historic significance that will satisfy the requirements of the Certified Local Government program; provide baseline information for planning purposes and environmental review in the City of Palm Springs; and assist property owners and the Historic Site Preservation Board in the identification of properties for local designation.

The property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. was surveyed as part of the 2014 Citywide Survey project and determined eligible for listing in the Citywide Historic Resource Inventory as an individual property “eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation” and assigned California Historical Resource Status Code 5S3.

The current owner of the property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. communicated to the City of Palm Springs that they may wish to enter into a contract for abatement of property taxes under the Mills Act. City staff advised the property owner that an intensive-level survey and history of the property would need to be performed, and the report (Historic Resource Evaluation Report) should to be submitted to the City as part of the Mills Act application process.

1.2. a South Central Information Center
The South Central Information Center (SCIC) is a branch of the California Historic Resources Information System (CHRIS), established by the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), and maintains information concerning cultural resources and associated studies recorded in the county in that Information Center’s jurisdiction. 2 The Built Environment Resource Directory (BERD) at SCIC does not have in their database documents submitted to the SCIC for the property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. as of May 22, 2025.

1.2. b City of Palm Springs, Planning Department: Historic Resources Surveys The City initiated its first comprehensive historic resources survey in 1976 as a result of the community's desire to identify and document its rich architectural heritage. During that effort, primarily Native American sites were identified. Citywide surveys undertaken in 1983 and 1987 resulted in the creation of a base list of potential architectural and historical resources throughout the city. These surveys were updated in 2001 and 2004. As a result of these previous surveys and a variety of other efforts, the City has a list of approximately 700 properties included in the City Historic Resources Database. Previous surveys are housed in the City Planning Department.

The 2014-2016 survey project reviewed all properties on the City Historic Resources Database list for potential significance, and identified additional properties and neighborhoods that may be eligible as historic resources. The result of the 2014-2016 survey is an updated citywide inventory of properties and neighborhoods with potential historic significance for use as a planning tool by the City.

1.3 Data Collection
A request was made for the building permit records from the Office of City Clerk, City of Palm Springs, for the property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. on May 15, 2025. This request resulted in the receipt of records dating only as far back as 1997. An additional request was made August 5, 2025 resulting in the receipt of Building Department records dating to the original building permit request of March 14, 1946.

2.0 METHODS
The current survey of the built-environment resources at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. included conducting archival research, internet research, and a pedestrian-level inspection of the property. These data were used to prepare the descriptions of the built-environment resource, and prepare a contextual statement and site-specific history for the property. This will provide sufficient baseline data to formulate conclusions about whether the built-environment resource would, or would not meet the criteria for inclusion in the CRHR, or designated as a significant historical resource in the City.

2.1 CRHR Criteria for Historical Resource Evaluation
The Office of Historic Preservation, as an office of the California Department of Parks and Recreation, implements the policies of the duties as set forth in the Public Resources Code (PRC) and maintains the CHRIS. The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) is an appointed official who implements historic preservation programs within the state’s jurisdictions.

2.1. a California Register of Historical Resources
Created by Assembly Bill 2881, which was signed into law on September 27, 1992, the CRHR is “an authoritative listing and guide to be used by state and local agencies, private groups, and citizens in identifying the existing historical resources of the state and to indicate which resources deserve to be protected, to the extent prudent and feasible, from substantial adverse change.”3 The criteria for eligibility for the CRHR are based upon the criteria for listing a property in the NRHP.4 Certain resources are determined by the statute to be automatically included in the CRHR, including California properties formally determined eligible for, or listed in, the NRHP.5 The CRHP consists of resources that are listed automatically and those that must be nominated through an application and public hearing process. The CRHP automatically includes the following:
• California properties listed in the NRHP and those formally determined eligible for the NRHP; • California Registered Historical Landmarks from No. 770 onward; • Those California Points of Historical Interest that have been evaluated by the OHP and have been recommended to the State Historical Resources Commission for inclusion in the CRHR.6 Other resources which may be nominated to the CRHR include:
• Individual historical resources;
• Historical resources contributing to historic districts; • Historical resources identified as significant in historical resources surveys with significance ratings of Category 1 through 5;
• Historical resources designated or listed as local landmarks, or designated under any local ordinance, such as a historic preservation overlay zone.7 3 California Public Resources Code § 5024.1(a). 4 California Public Resources Code § 5024.1(b). 5 California Public Resources Code § 5024.1(d).
6 California Public Resources Code § 5024.1(d).
7 California Public Resources Code § 5024.1(e).

HISTORICAL RESOURCES EVALUATION REPORT
457 N. PALM CANYON DR., PALM SPRINGS

To be eligible for listing in the CRHR, a historic resource must be significant at the local, state, or national level under one or more of the following four criteria:

1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage;

2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past;

3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or

4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Additionally, a historic resource eligible for listing in the CRHR must meet one or more of the criteria of significance described above and retain enough of its historic character or appearance to be recognizable as a historical resource and to convey the reasons for its significance. Historical resources that have been rehabilitated or restored may be evaluated for listing.8 Integrity under the CRHR is evaluated with regard to the retention of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The resource must also be judged with reference to the particular criteria under which it is proposed for eligibility.9 The seven factors that define integrity are location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The following is excerpted from National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Bulletin #15, How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, which provides guidance on the interpretation and application of these factors.
• Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.
• Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of the property.
• Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. • Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. • Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.
• Feeling is property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. • Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.

In assessing a property’s integrity, the NRHP criteria recognize that properties change over time; therefore, it is not necessary for a property to retain all its historic physical features or characteristics.

The property must, however, retain the essential physical features that enable it to convey its historic identity.

2.1.b. California Office of Historical Preservation Survey Methodology The evaluation instructions and classification system prescribed by the California OHP in its Instructions for Recording Historical Resources provide a three-digit evaluation rating code for use in classifying 8 California Code of Regulations, California Register of Historical Resources (Title 14, Chapter11.5), Section 4852(c). 9 Ibid.

B – Page 1379 of 1899

HISTORICAL RESOURCES EVALUATION REPORT
457 N. PALM CANYON DR., PALM SPRINGS
Daly & Associates 9
potential historic resources. The first digit indicates one of the following general evaluation categories for use in conducting cultural resources surveys:

1. Listed in the NRHP or the CRHR;

2. Determined eligible for listing in the NRHP or the CRHR;

3. Appears eligible for listing in the NRHP or the CRHR through survey evaluation;

4. Appears eligible for listing in the NRHP or the CRHR through other evaluation;

5. Recognized as Historically Significant by Local Government;

6. Not eligible for any Listing or Designation; or

7. Not evaluated for the NRHP or CRHR, or needs re-evaluation.

The second digit of the evaluation status code is a letter code indicating whether the resource is separately eligible (S), eligible as part of a district (D), or both (B). The third digit is a number that is used to further specify significance and refine the relationship of the property to the NRHP and/or CRHR.

Under this evaluation system, categories 1 through 4 pertain to various levels of NRHP eligibility. The CRHR, however, may include surveyed resources with evaluation rating codes through level 5. In addition, properties found ineligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or for designation under a local ordinance are given an evaluation status code of 6.

2.2 City of Palm Springs Historic Preservation Ordinance The seven-member Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board (HSPB), established by the Palm Springs City Council in May 1981, identifies, nominates, and recommends potential historic sites and districts to the City Council while fostering public awareness and appreciation of the City’s rich cultural and architectural heritage. The purpose and authority of the HSPB as outlined in section 8.05 of the Municipal Code is to stabilize and improve buildings, structures, or areas which are considered to be of historical, architectural, archaeological or ecological value, to foster civic beauty, to strengthen the local economy, and to promote the use of specific buildings for the education and welfare of the citizens of Palm Springs.

In 2014, the City of Palm Springs became a Certified Local Government (CLG). The CLG program is a preservation partnership between local, state, and national governments focused on promoting historic preservation at the grass roots level. The program is jointly administered by the National Park Service (NPS) and the State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) in each state, with each local community working through a certification process to become recognized as a CLG. CLGs then become active partners in the Federal Historic Preservation Program and the opportunities it provides.

The City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance is codified in section 8.05 of the Municipal Code. The Historic Preservation Ordinance defines the criteria for designating historic resources in the City:
(a) Historic Site. An historic site is any real property such as: a building; a structure, including but not limited to archways, tiled areas and similar architectural elements; an archaeological excavation or object that is unique or significant because of its location, design, setting, materials, workmanship or aesthetic effect and:
(1) That is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community; or

B – Page 1380 of 1899

HISTORICAL RESOURCES EVALUATION REPORT
457 N. PALM CANYON DR., PALM SPRINGS
Daly & Associates 10
(2) That is associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contribution to national, state or local history; or
(3) That reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history; or
(4) That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; or
(5) That presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age; or that possesses high artistic value; or (6) That represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
(7) That has yielded or may be likely to yield· information important to national, state or local history or prehistory.
(b) Historic District. Any area of the city of Palm Springs containing a number of structures, natural features or sites having historic, architectural, archaeological, cultural or aesthetic significance and designated as an historic district under the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 1320 § I, 1988; Ord. 1140 §I (part), 1981).

Designations are made by the City Council by categorizing nominated sites and districts into one of the following classifications and such other categories as may be designated by resolution:

Class I. Structure/site qualified for city designation; may be qualified at the federal, state and/or county level. Archival file will be maintained. Structure/site may not be modified nor objects removed without the approval of the city council; usage may be limited by the city council to the extent that it may impair the integrity of the site. Site will be plaqued. (Intended for use when the structure or site still exists as it did during the historical period or is restorable).

Class 2. Site qualified for city designation; may be qualified at the federal, state and/or county level. Archival file will be maintained. Site is eligible for plaquing. (Intended for use when the site is not occupied by a modern structure or use which is different than that of the historical period or if structure is unusable, nonconforming, unrestorable or the like).

Class 3. Structure/site was constructed before 1969, or a year to be determined by the city council, or construction date cannot be confirmed. Eligible for a six-month stay of demolition.

Action of the HSPB may include recommendation to reclassify. All structures built prior to the subject date would be automatically so classified.

Historic District. Qualified for city designation; may be qualified at the federal, state and/or county level.

2.3 Historical Research
The evaluation of the property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. involved a review of the history of Palm Springs, and specific neighborhoods and cultural aspects of the City of Palm Springs. In addition to the collection of City of Palm Springs documents noted above in Section 1.3, research was performed using the online resources of Ancestry.com, Los Angeles Times archives, GeneologyBank.com, the California Digital Newspaper Collection, Desert Sun archives, and historic aerial photographs.

2.4 On-Site Evaluation Process
An intensive-level field survey of the building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. was conducted on May 22, 2025 by Architectural Historian Pamela Daly, M.S. The fieldwork consisted of inspecting the building within the legal parcel and its overall interrelationship with the surrounding landscape.

The evaluation by Daly & Associates examined the built-environment resource in the context of its surrounding landscape, noting the condition of the existing structure, construction materials, historic design, and any noteworthy physical elements of the resource. The field survey also included obtaining color digital photos of the structure, elevations, and landscape. The current property owners were able to supply the selection of the original drawings/plans for the building that had been left by previous owners. This information was used to create baseline data to determine the potential eligibility of the subject property as a historic resource.

3.0 HISTORIC CONTEXT

3.1 City of Palm Springs10

3.1. a Early Settlement
The Coachella Valley’s first permanent Anglo settler was John Guthrie McCallum, a San Francisco attorney and former State Legislator who arrived in the Cahuilla village of Agua Caliente with his wife Emily and their five children in the spring of 1884. A typhoid epidemic five years earlier had left the McCallum's eldest son, Johnny, with tuberculosis; the family doctor had advised that the boy’s only hope for recovery was to relocate to a warm, dry climate. The family moved to Los Angeles and McCallum secured an appointment as Indian agent in San Bernardino. It was from the nearby town of Banning that a local Indian guide named Will Pablo led McCallum through the San Gorgonio pass to Agua Caliente.

McCallum purchased an initial 64 acres of railroad land (of his eventual vast land holding in the area) and employed local Indians to build a small adobe house at what is now the southwest corner of Palm Canyon Drive and East Tahquitz Canyon Way (now located at 221 S. Palm Canyon Drive). When the adobe was complete McCallum fetched his family, with the youngest, four-year-old daughter Pearl, perched on the back of his saddle.

The Tahquitz Ditch had long been a feature of village life by the time John Guthrie McCallum arrived in 1884. He expanded the Tahquitz Ditch, increasing its flow by tapping into one of the canyon’s springs.

McCallum began using water from the ditch to irrigate his ranch, and, as new settlers came, they availed themselves of the water provided by the Tahquitz Ditch. This became increasingly problematic for the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians as settlers continued to arrive in Palm Springs.

Although McCallum had significantly increased the output of the Tahquitz Ditch, its resources were far from enough to accommodate the influx of new settlement he hoped to generate. In 1887, after forming the Palm Valley Water Company, McCallum embarked on the creation of an extensive new canal that would carry water from the Whitewater River for over eight miles across the rugged desert until it reached the McCallum ranch. Completed in the fall of 1887, the stone-lined Whitewater Ditch had the capacity to carry an ample supply of water into Palm Springs.

In 1886 McCallum persuaded Scottish-born Dr. Welwood Murray to move from Banning and establish a health resort in area of Palm Springs. Murray purchased a five-acre parcel on the north side of what is now Tahquitz Canyon Way, between Palm Canyon Drive and Indian Canyon Drive, and opened the village’s first hostelry, the Palm Springs Hotel (demolished). Murray built a one-story, wood-framed building with a wraparound veranda and accommodations for 20 guests, and planted the land with oranges, ornamental shrubs, and trees.

Some of the visitors stayed in the area and Murray’s hotel, and settled the little village that began to develop around the McCallum adobe and the Palm Springs Hotel, at what is now the intersection of South Palm Canyon Drive and East Tahquitz Canyon Way. In 1887, 320 acres were platted to create the township of Palm Springs. With the establishment of the Southern Pacific Railroad line running from San Bernardino, east to Indio, south to Yuma, Arizona, and eventually to Texas, 137 lots of the new Palm Springs township were sold in November of 1887.

Episodes of severe drought, and violent floods, combined with land ownership disputes between the U.S. Government and the local indigenous tribes, led recent residents to the near abandonment of the newly created town of Palm Springs. It wouldn’t be until the nineteen-‘teens that outsiders were willing to invest in the dream of building a seasonal and healthy retreat for visitors from all across California and the United States.

3.1.b Palm Springs 1919-194111
Automobile tourism played an early and important part in the success and growth of Palm Springs as a resort destination. In 1914, highway bonds were passed in Riverside County for extensive road improvements and construction of new routes. As part of these efforts, the highway connecting Los Angeles and Palm Springs was completed in October 1916 allowing travelers to drive all the way from Los Angeles to Palm Springs in less than 4 hours, all on paved roads. 11 Ibid: Palm Springs Historic Context: Palm Springs between the Wars (1919-1941).

The first residential subdivisions were recorded in the early 1920s on tracts largely concentrated on land immediately surrounding the existing village and the resorts. In the 1920s, business tycoons, industrialists, and other wealthy businessmen, along with the Hollywood elite, discovered the desert and began to transform Palm Springs into an international resort. While the movie stars primarily stayed at the resort hotels when visiting Palm Springs, other wealthy residents and seasonal visitors started building architect-designed estates and drawing increased attention to the growing resort town.

Wealthy capitalists who came to Palm Springs in the 1920s include King Camp Gillette; Carrie Humphrey Birge, widow of George K. Birge, the wallpaper & Pierce-Arrow magnate; businessman and philanthropist William Mead; Frederick W. Stevens of the American Locomotive Company; Chicago capitalist John Burnham; steel magnate Louis R. Davidson; and cereal king S.K. Kellogg, who began wintering in Palm Springs as early as 1926.

The 1930s saw Palm Springs blossom, as more and more celebrities made it their winter weekend getaway, and more development sprang up to house and entertain them. By the start of World War II, Palm Springs had so long been thought of as a movie star's playground that some of the neighborhoods were described as "Beverly Hills in the desert." One section was so filled with film notables, the neighborhood was ultimately dubbed the "Movie Colony."
In the 1930s important figures in finance and business continued to flock to the desert in the winter, helping to cement the village's reputation as one of the nation's top winter resort destinations.

Internationally famous names such as Walter P. Chrysler; Alfred Vanderbilt; Herbert F. "Hib" Johnson of the S.C. Johnson Co.; John Jakob Raskob, head of finance for both General Motors and Dupont Chemical Company, and builder of the Empire State Building; auto magnate Walter Marmon; Arthur K. Bourne of Singer Sewing Machine fortune; Franklyn Hutton, James S. Kemper and his brother Hathaway of the Kemper Insurance Group; Russell Vought of Vought Aircraft; and Lawrence Mario Giannini, son of A.P.

3.1. c. Palm Springs post World War II 1945-196912
As prosperity returned with the war, and as the peacetime return of soldiers brought a demand for new development, a young generation of architects exposed to Modernism in their training or travels before and during the war wanted to put those ideas into practice. This was also a period of exuberance and optimism that was directly reflected in the architecture.

Prior to World War II, Palm Springs had been a tourist and vacation home destination for the wealthy.

Postwar prosperity brought a new group of tourists and second home-owners to the city: the uppermiddle and middle classes. This gradual democratization of Palm Springs would irrevocably change the city during the 1950s and 1960s, first with expansive single-family residential development and ultimately through the creation of innovative forms of multi-family residential development and ownership options. The creation of new tracts and subdivisions also resulted in a less concentrated, more scattered development pattern.

Residential designs in the 1940s established the pattern of a wide range of interpretations of Modern architecture. The decade brought Palm Springs the building which was, and remains, the most famous in terms of international recognition: Richard Neutra's Kaufmann House. Following architects like Albert 12 Ibid: Palm Springs Historic Context: Post-World War II Palm Springs (1945-1969).

Frey and John Porter Clark, who began working in Palm Springs before the war, more architects who would become central figures in the Palm Springs School settled there in the 1940s. William Cody, a graduate of the USC School of Architecture, moved to Palm Springs in 1946 for health reasons. After serving in the war, E. Stewart Williams joined his father, Harry, and his brother Roger to begin their joint practice.

Peace returned to Palm Springs just in time for the winter season of 1945-46, and so did the Hollywood movie stars and Eastern industrialists. Along with them, in ever-increasing numbers, came ordinary tourists; the growing prosperity of the postwar years and the rise of the car culture created a leisured, mobile middle class that sought, in Palm Springs, a resort lifestyle that had previously been available primarily to the very rich. This surge of visitors and seasonal residents coincided with Modernism’s rise in popularity. As a result, commercial architecture in Palm Springs from this period reflected this acceptance of Modernism and expressed a wide range of Modern interpretations as it increasingly served two purposes: the need for tourist-oriented buildings for seasonal residents and visitors, and the need for practical daily services, such as banks, shops, and gas stations, for the growing population of permanent residents.

Commercial development during this period consisted of both infill development in the original commercial core, and the continued northward and southward expansion of the commercial district along Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon Drives. A number of motels and other commercial services were constructed to the south of the original downtown, with a cluster of postwar commercial development along S. Palm Canyon Drive.

Several significant retail buildings were constructed in the years immediately after the war. The city's wealthy leisure class had always attracted exclusive shops. In 1947 Bullock's, one of Los Angeles' fashionable department stores, moved out of its boutique at the Desert Inn and into a new building by Los Angeles architects Walter Wurdeman and Welton Becket, with landscape design by Ruth Shellhorn (demolished). It reflected the Late Moderne style the pair used the same year at Bullock's Pasadena to attract a stylish, suburban clientele. In the late 1950s Becket designed the Saks Fifth Avenue branch at 490 S. Palm Canyon Drive (altered) with highly textured walls of stone and molded concrete block.

Two other notable Los Angeles architects, Paul R. Williams and A. Quincy Jones, were hired by Pearl McCallum McManus to update her Tennis Club and design a new restaurant for the facility. Williams and Jones also collaborated on The Center (1948, 146 N. Palm Canyon Drive; listed in the National Register), also known as the Town & Country center, a two-story, Late Moderne-style collection of shops, offices, and a fashionable restaurant in the center of the block off the main retail area on Palm Canyon Dr. The complex fronts onto both Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon Drives, and was configured around a central landscaped courtyard, accessed from the streets by pedestrian passages. It is a rare example of a modern adaptation of the courtyard type more typically associated with Spanish and Mediterranean Revival styles.

Examples of commercial buildings from this period may include hotels, motels, retail stores, banks, restaurants, commercial storefront buildings, and automobile-related resources including auto dealerships and drive-ins. There was a great deal of commercial development in Palm Springs in the immediate postwar period, and continuing into the 1960s.

Commercial properties in Palm Springs associated with this period and listed as historical resources in the City of Palm Springs include the Hotel Del Marcos (1946-47, HSPB-78), the Town and Desert

Apartments (1947; now the Hideaway; HSPB-90), the Town & Country Center (1948; HSPB-51), the Oasis Commercial Building (1953, HSPB-55), and the Esso station (1963-65, HSPB-33 and HSPB-37; now the Visitors Center).

3.2. a. Isador Rubin
Isador Rubin (née Rubinstein) was born in Suwolki, Poland in July 15, 1885. He immigrated to the United States in 1902 by way of Ellis Island in New York, and made his way to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he became a naturalized citizen in 1911.13 The U.S. Census data for 1910 points to Rubin starting his profession as a garment merchant in Oklahoma City, but it appears he would connect with extended members of the fraternal branch of his family – around that same time – who were located in San Diego, California. Isador Rubin married Anna Kellner of Oklahoma City in 1915, settled at 825 West 21st Street in that city. They would have two children; a boy born in 1916 and a girl born in 1926. 14 In San Diego, California, in 1898, Meyer (wife Ethel) Rubin had established Rubin’s Furniture Store in San Diego.15 Rubin’s were located at 552 5th Street in San Diego in 1905. In 1909, Rubin’s moved to 1611- 1619 D Street, and in 1913 Rubin’s was located at 1704 H Street. Meyer’s brother Isaac (wife Miriam) joined the firm in 1912, and together the brothers would expand Rubin’s furniture store with the establishment of a men’s and women’s clothing department. It was in May of 1913 that I. (Isaac) Rubin placed an advertisement in the San Diego Sun stating they would be selling “Ladies and Gents Suits.”16 The clothing store of I. (Isaac) Rubin – called I. Rubin’s after its founder - moved to 839 Broadway in San Diego in 1917, and the final move to a location just one block to the east of the future John D. Spreckels building at 625 Broadway, was completed in 1924.
17 With this move, I. Rubin’s was situated in the best
part of the commercial district of San Diego.

In 1918, an advertisement in the San Diego Sun for I. Rubin’s states that the store is now selling ladies fur coats and fur accessories. That same year, Isador Rubin is listed in the San Diego City Directory.

From U.S. Census records, it appears Isador Rubin’s wife and children remained living in Oklahoma City, while Rubin conducted business on the West Coast.18
By the early 1930s, Isador Rubin was able to establish his own fur “salon” in Los Angeles, and he used the name of “I. Rubin” for his business name (hopefully with the blessing of Isaac Rubin.) In those days, many of the better hotels that were visited by well-to-do guests would have small retail shops on the property to allow guests to buy items of clothing, or other sundries, that they may not have packed for a visit to Southern California. The luxury hotels such as the Beverly Wilshire, El Mirador, Hotel Bel Air, and Beverly Hills Hotel were visited by guest relatively untouched by the economic downturn of the Great Depression.

He invested substantial money and effort into improving the little shipping port town of San Diego in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the construction of transportation facilities, supporting the 1915 Pan American Exposition, and other cultural ventures in the city.

Also, aside from attracting hotels guest to purchase furs, women of all economic strata in the 1930s and 1940s were including an item of fur clothing to adorn their best outfits. These items ranged from just a simple fur pelt that could be attached to a coat collar, to a full length “opera coat” of ermine or mink expected to be seen at a movie premier. Two of the hotels that Rubin most likely had “in-house” fur salons were at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and the Ambassador Hotel.

In 1939, Rubin is able to establish his own fur salon shop at 9482 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills, just a half block to the east of the magnificent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, which had been constructed in 1928.19 In 1941, when Rubin’s son was to be married, the announcement in the Los Angeles Times noted that his father was “I. Rubin of Beverly Hills.”20 When Rubin’s daughter – attending Stanford University - was to be married in 1946, the wedding announcement in the Los Angeles Times noted that her father was “I.

Rubin of the Ambassador Hotel.”21
With his success having storefront shops at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and the Ambassador Hotel, he most probably had a shop at the 165-room El Mirador Hotel in Palm Springs when it opened in 1928.

The Desert Sun reported in late 1935 that Rubin was building a house in the desert, outside of town.22 Rubin was frequently spotted by the society columnists of the Desert Sun at the Racquet Club with various important persons and movie stars.

On the personal side, Isador Rubin had continued to be recorded up to 1930, as having his main residence at the house with his family in Oklahoma City. Isador’s son Eugene M. Rubin had moved out to California to attend University of Southern California in 1935, leaving his daughter and wife still in Oklahoma. Isador’s wife passed away in 1938, and his daughter moved to California at that time. Based on information from the U.S. Census of 1940, and U.S. Department of War draft card registration for Isador Rubin, he maintained an apartment in Los Angeles in the early 1940s.23 Rubin remarried in 1944, but the marriage was over quickly with his second wife suing for divorce in 1948. He was referred to as a “Beverly Hills furrier” in the article about the divorce in the Los Angeles Times, September 10, 1948.

The Desert Sun reported that a permit had been filed in 1946 by I. Rubin for the construction of a commercial property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr., and proposed project was estimated to cost $60,000.24 The City of Palm Springs issued Building Permit #2212 on March 14 1946 for the construction of “The Rubin Building” at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr.25 Finding full-time tenants to rent the office spaces in the arcade may have been difficult, resulting in the conversion of some of the offices into studio apartments in 1950.26 In 1951, an office space at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. is advertised in the Desert Sun as being located in the “Hotel Penthouse Arcade.”27
Art Lasky, the famous boxer from the 1930s – now turned physical therapist - rented office space in the “Hotel Penthouse” building in February 1953, and was a tenant there for several years.28 The Palm Springs Tourist Bureau occupied an office there for an extended period, and acted as Rubin’s rental agent for property.
29 Classified ads would be occasionally posted in the Desert Sun seeking to rent the office units or penthouse apartments.

Rubin is recorded in 1950 as being “retired” and is using an apartment in Los Angeles as his primary residence – not the house in Palm Springs.30 Rubin continued to be mentioned in the Desert Sun attending social or tennis events in Palm Springs. In 1956, “I. Rubin of 457 North Palm Canyon Drive” posts a legal notice that he and Monte Warshauer (Monart Motors of Wisconsin) “are conducting a Building and Investment Business” in the City of Palm Springs under the fictitious business name of M & R Investment Co.31
An article written by Bill Rashall of the Desert Sun in February 1957, would report how Monte Warshauer and I. Rubin had purchased the 20-acre Palm Vista Estates (adjacent to Las Palmas Estates) property for the purpose of developing the lots with luxury-priced homes.32 Palm Vista Estates is located just up the hill from Las Palmas Estates, with lots on West Stevens Drive and Camino Norte. The lots themselves in the Palm Vista Estates had been selling for $5,000 and $8,000, prior to M & R Investments purchasing the development. The proposed project by M & R Investments was to build just 19 homes on the 20 acres, with “each home costing between $150,000 and $200,000 each.” The M & R Investments proudly boasted that “when completed this development will run into about $3,000,000 or more.”33
In March of 1957, the Desert Sun reported on the completion of the first luxury home in Palm Vista Estates, which was given the name of “Castle in the Air.”34 The house had been designed by architect Howard Lapham and Thor Fredricksen was the general contractor for the project.35 The cantilevered house provided “breathtaking views” of Palm Springs and the valley, and was of concrete construction, 24 Desert Sun. “March Building Passes Three Million Mark as New Hotels, Stores Start”, March 22 1946. 25 City of Palm Springs Building Permit #2212 for 457 N.

Figure 7: Advertisement in the Desert Sun, February 16, 1957.

Shortly after the Palm Vista Estates development owned by M & R Investments was heavily publicized and promoted, another development in Palm Springs appeared with the same name. This – other - “Palm Vista Estates” development was comprised of more modest houses, designed to attract first time homebuyers and/or full-time residents. The other Palm Vista Estates is located east of State Route 111 and north of West San Rafael Drive.

The success or failure of M & R Investment development of Palm Vista Estates, adjacent to Las Palmas Estates is unknown. Isador Rubin appears to have led a quiet life until his passing in 1968.

3.2. b. Albert Raymond Walker
Albert R. Walker was born in 1881 in Sonoma, California. After the death of his father in 1900, Albert and his mother moved to San Diego, California. After high school, Walker went to work as a 36 Ibid.

draughtsman for the San Diego architectural team of William S. Hebbard and Irving Gill. In 1906, Walker moved to Los Angeles where he first worked as a draftsman for architects John Parkinson and George Bergstrom, as a designer for Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey, and as a designer for Alfred Rosenheim.

Walker went out on his own in 1908, and designed the Fullerton First Methodist Episcopal Church, which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.37 Walker teamed up with Architect John Terrell Vawter in 1910, and they worked together for seven years before Walker formed a partnership with architect Percy A. Eisen in 1918.
38 Over the next 20 years, Eisen and Walker were the architects for a great number of the landmark buildings constructed in Los Angeles before 1940. Major projects of Eisen and Walker in Los Angeles included the Hotel Normandie, the Ambassador Hotel, the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, the Title Insurance and Trust Company Building, and the United Artists Theater. The El Cortez Hotel in San Diego was designed by Eisen and Walker, and opened its doors in 1927.

In Palm Springs, Eisen and Walker designed the 165-room El Mirador Hotel in 1928. From 1941 to 1954, Walker formed a partnership with Gus W. Kalionzes and James A. Zerbe, and in 1946 the team designed the building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. for Beverly Hills furrier Isador Rubin.39 The building was designed with decorative attributes that harkens of Beverly Hills before the 1960s, and this style of building would attract shoppers in Palm Springs wanting to find that level of sophistication. Mr. Walker was 65 when he designed the Hotel Penthouse building for Rubin, and passed away in 1958.

4.0 HISTORIC STRUCTURES EVALUATION
The building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Drive is a rectangular-massed structure that sits on a rectangular lot in an east-west orientation, and is comprised of three separate components: the arcade level, and two penthouse structures. The building is constructed of steel frame, concrete and concrete masonry unit framing. The front elevation of the building faces east towards N. Palm Canyon Dr. The rear elevation faces west towards North Belardo Road and Mount San Jacinto. There are neighboring buildings set to the immediate north and south along the property lines.

The first level of the building is a single-story, designed to be used for retail/commercial suites. On each side of the front entrance to the arcade, set in the front façade, are two large display windows, in rectangular framing, that project from the main block of the building. The display windows are framed in stainless steel, have three fixed lights, and a valance with a wide overhanging edge. The display windows are accessed from the interior rooms. Fixed planters that are clad with butt-end flagstone veneer are set under the length of the display windows. The wood trim surrounding the entranceway is original, while the green granite wall cladding and the letters “Galleria” are not original.

There is an arcade (covered hallway) running the length of this level of the building, and the arcade is flanked on both sides by ten individual “office suites”, with five suites on each side.40 The width of the arcade measures approximately 11’ 10” and has a ceiling height of 8’11”. The five units of office suites 37 National Park Service Digital Gallery; Fullerton First Methodist Church. https://npgallery.nps.gov/AssetDetail/NRIS/01000076

on each side of arcade are approximately 18’4” wide, with a ceiling height of 11’ 1”. This first floor component has a flat roof system that spans almost the entire length of the building.

Figure 8: Architect’s sketch of the building for Isador Rubin for project at 457 North Palm Canyon Drive, 1946.

The ten office suites are of identical size on each side of the arcade, with the front units, #1 and #2 designed to have approximately twice the square footage of the other eight suites. The front entrances of units #1 and #2 present classic design elements of Regency Revival (Georgian 1700-1780) architecture. A wood paneled door is set in a wood frame that is comprised of an entablature at the top of the door way with spaced fluted blocks, and Doric columns on each side of the doorway. The pedestrian door has a single fixed light framed in the upper two-thirds of the door, and symmetrically set raised panels set below the light. The light is separated from the raised panels by a horizontal strip of wood molding that references the Doric capital of the columns. The doors of suites #3 to #10 share the same design as that of suites #1 and #2, but have more modest door frames. The front doors of suites #1 - #10 have their original brass hardware, which includes door sets, hinges, and letter slots. The doorways of suites #3 - #10 are headed by transom windows which allowed for an air exchange while the door was shut. The display windows of suites #7 and #8 may have been modified in 1950 to create an additional opening in the suites’ exterior to allow for additional air flow into the units.

The interior walls of the arcade are clad with vertical wood siding, and a wood cornice runs along the walls atop the walls of the suites. Suites #1 and #2 have framed, fixed light display windows, measuring approximately 50 inches wide by 24 inches tall, set into the paneled walls that project into the arcade for the display of small items. The large display windows of the interior suites are framed in wood and sit on bulkheads clad with the same flagstone veneer treatment as the planters on the front façade. The floor of the arcade is set with natural flagstone pavers in cement. Florescent light fixtures are set in the length of the arcade ceiling. Fluorescent light fixtures were used in commercial settings in the 1940s, but the current fixtures do not appear to be original to 1946.

Approximately halfway along the length of the arcade there are metal objects imbedded in the flagstone flooring that suggests there had been a security gate located at this location to keep casual retail visitors from accessing the office suites and stairways to the upper level, farther along the corridor.

At approximately two-thirds along the full length of the arcade, the hallway widens by six feet on each side and an atrium is created. The atrium is created by using this area for utility rooms and staircases that are less wide than the office suites. The utility rooms include public washrooms, a janitor’s closet, and stairways to the upper level on both the north and south sides of the arcade.

Natural light is provided to the atrium from a lightwell opening in the roof situated over the area. The irregular hexagon shaped lightwell measures approximately 6 feet wide by 8 foot long. Continuing to the west along the arcade there are an additional two office suites (#7, #8, #9, #10) on each side, until one reaches the rear security gate to the arcade.

To access the upper level, a person must use either of the staircases located on the north and south side of the atrium in the arcade. The steps – on both sides of the atrium - leading to the rooftop of the arcade are clad with natural flagstone set in mortar. There is a wrought metal, painted railing with a curtail and finial at the ground level, and only the handrail – attached to the stairwell wall – continues upward.

Upon reaching the arcade roof, one will find two, gable-roofed, one-story residential structures set at the east and west ends of the arcade roof. The arcade roof becomes the “floor” for the structures, and the structures are the penthouses of the building. The front facades of the each penthouse, which each house two apartment units, face towards each other across a patio area created on the roof surface.

The penthouse located towards the east contains two, two-bedroom apartments (units #A and #B), and the rear façade of this penthouse, faces east towards North Palm Canyon Drive with the balcony that spans the front facade. The structure to the west contains two, one-bedroom apartments (units #C and #D) and its rear elevation faces the alley and adjacent parking lot.

The balcony on the front elevation of the building was created by recessing the rear (bedroom) walls of penthouse units A and B under the overhanging roof eave. The structural wall of the front elevation was carried up from the arcade level to meet the roof eave, and a cutout created along the façade to give the appearance of a balcony with the open space spanning the approximate height of a balcony railing up to the eave. The balcony wall of units A and B are each set with metal framed casement window units and a set of wood-frame french doors.

Concrete brick walls, approximately 5 feet tall, run along the north and south edges of the open patio space between the end walls of the penthouses to create an enclosed patio. The penthouses are covered by medium-pitch gable roofs set on a north-south alignment and the roof eaves overhang across the front facades of the units. The entrances to units A and B are situated within a recessed area under the enclosed overhanging eave that creates a modest porch entranceway. The enclosed overhanging eave to units C and D cover the front entrances that are set flush in the front wall of each apartment. The front facades of the penthouse units are clad with horizontally set, wide novelty wood siding. The front doors of the apartments are paneled in the “cross and bible” pattern, and the hardware on the doors (except for deadbolt locks) appears to be original.

Units A and B have metal-framed, multi-light casement bay windows with canted sides to provide light to the living room spaces within. Additional metal-framed, multi-light casement windows are set flush

into the exterior wall for the kitchen spaces within units A and B. There is a wide, wood cornice that runs along the top of the exterior wall of units A and B. For units C and D, the units were designed to make it appear they shared one large, multi-light, metal framed casement bay window with right-angle end frames. The one bay window is actually divided by the framing between the two apartments. Set immediately in front of the long bay window of units C and D is the lightwell opening. The lightwell is surrounded on its open sides by a railing of decorative metal cast panels in the acorn leaf design. These same panels are used as decorative elements on the outside of the penthouse units, and on the walls of the balcony, of units A and B.

A Freedom of Information Act request was made to the City of Palm Springs for all permits, documents, etc. contained in the Building Department records for 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. as part of this evaluation.

The request returned 49 records in the file for the subject property. The records consisted primarily of permits for electrical repairs, plumbing repairs, occupancy permits for the individual office spaces, and installation and repair of the HVAC units. Other than the original construction permit for the building dated in 1946 (Permit #2212), and a permit to “alter office for use as apartments” (Permit #4544, October 21, 1950), there were no permits filed for any physical alterations to the original building.

Character-defining features of the property. Include – but are not limited to:

First level (Arcade) and Penthouse level:

Wide overhanging eaves; including on the front façade display windows Vertically set wood paneling and cornice trim
Concrete masonry brick construction
Flat front façade with upper balcony created by opening rectangular space in the front elevation.

Painted, cast metal tracery used on staircases and wall cresting Bulkhead window units and their trim
Front display windows and their trim
Display windows in arcade with stainless steel and wood framing Large, fixed, single panels of plate glass used in each arcade unit and front display windows The flagstone veneer on the front planters (narrow butts and rectangular flats) • The front planters do not appear on the building’s blueprints, but the plans do call for the application of flagstone butt veneer to be applied to the wall directly under the front display window units. A historic, photo postcard from circa 1946 (Figure 6 [the date of the postcard photograph is based on the models and styles of the auto parked on N. Palm Canyon Dr.]) clearly shows that there is greenery set in the planters in front of the display windows on the front façade.

Wood doors and their surrounds
Transom openings above doors
Brass door and window hardware
Steel frame casement windows on apartments
Flagstone paving on the floor and butt-end veneer used to clad bulkheads in arcade Not original and can be replaced:
• The green granite used to surround the arcade opening on the front façade. Based on the original drawings of the building, it appears where the granite is located on the façade – used to be flat wood trim board as part of the decorative surround of the entrance way. Our guess is that the granite was used to cover up damaged portions of the CMU wall surface around the entranceway.

• The lettering “Galleria” on the front façade. The wall surface should be appropriately repaired after the letters are removed.
• The front entrance gate. This replaced a shorter metal gate that was situated at the entranceway, and is visible in the photograph of the building in the survey of 2014-2016. • Security gates used at the ground level of the penthouse stairwells • Date of rear gate is unknown. It could be replaced.

5.0 ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION AND RECOMMENDATION

5.1 Overview
The main objective of this study is to provide an evaluation of significance and eligibility recommendations for the historic-era resource that has not been previously subjected to an intensivelevel evaluation for potential to be considered a historical resource in the City of Palm Springs. The baseline level of documentation provided in this report presents the information necessary to make such an evaluation for the building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. Once the recommendations of eligibility are made, future management considerations for the resources can be determined.

Pursuant to California Public Resources Code §5024.1(a), it is required that state and local agencies perform an intensive-level evaluation of historic buildings, structures, objects, features, or landscapes located when that resource may be subject to changes in a future project which have not been fully evaluated for CRHR eligibility in any prior survey.

The City of Palm Spring’s Historic Preservation Ordinance is codified in section 8.05 of the Municipal Code. The Historic Preservation Ordinance defines the criteria for designating historic resources in the City.

As part of this current assessment report, the building at 457 N. Palm Dr. was evaluated under City of Palm Springs Section 8.05 of the Municipal Code designation criteria, and CRHR criteria to determine the eligibility of the building as a significant resource on a local and state level (see Section 2.0, Methods).

B – Page 1400 of 1899

HISTORICAL RESOURCES EVALUATION REPORT
457 N. PALM CANYON DR., PALM SPRINGS
Daly & Associates 30
Based on the applicable criteria, the building was then evaluated for its possession of historic integrity:
location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, within its historic context.

The assessment of the significance of a property within its historic context is based on OHP guidelines:
• Identify the historic context represented by the property. • Determine how the theme of context is significant in local, state, or national history. • Determine if the property type represents the context. • Determine how the property illustrates an important aspect of the history. • Determine if the property retains the physical features necessary to convey its significance (historic integrity).

5.2 CRHR Eligibility Recommendations
The building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. was constructed in 1947 in the Regency Revival or Modern Georgian (named after King George IV of Great Britain) style of architecture that was “popular in the 1930s, although post WWII examples can be found”.
41 The subject building is unique for being an
example of property that was designed with the first level serving as an arcade-style retail shopping and office suite complex, while the second level has four apartments units in a penthouse setting. This multi-use building was designed in a rare example of Regency Revival style architecture applied to a commercial building in Palm Springs.

The design of the building was commissioned by Isador Rubin, a successful furrier with shops in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, and created in 1946 by the architectural firm of Albert R. Walker, James A. Zerbe, and Gus W. Kalionzes of Los Angeles, California. Albert R. Walker is an acknowledged master architect with a portfolio of significant projects that date from before he had teamed with Percy A. Eisen in 1919.

The twenty-year partnership of Walker and Eisen resulted in the design of a number of buildings that have been preserved as landmarks in Southern California, and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

While the building designs for 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. were signed in 1946, and the building constructed in 1947, we believe that the subject property should be evaluated in consideration of two themes listed below. The building presents an architectural style that was popular for a brief period primarily during the 1930s, and that the theme for “Multi-Family Residential Development Between the Wars” clearly includes mixed-use commercial and residential properties with a nod towards the bungalow court (arcade court) style of design.

We would also like to make note of the fact that the historic themes developed for evaluating architecture in Palm Springs, leaves out the period of 1941 to 1945. While it is true that with the participation of the United States into World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 had a substantial impact upon the development and construction of new buildings throughout the country, not all of the new architectural designs coming out after 1945 were immediately put into application. The various “revival” styles of architecture that were popular for residential – and some commercial – design in the United States, and dated from the 1910s, continued to be used for clients well into the 1950s.

HISTORICAL RESOURCES EVALUATION REPORT
457 N. PALM CANYON DR., PALM SPRINGS
Daly & Associates 31
The property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. is eligible for being determined a historical resource under the following themes as presented in the “City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement and Survey Findings, December 2018”:

Multi-Family Residential Development Between the Wars (1919-1941[-1945]) Post-World War II Commercial Development (1945-1969)
Criterion 1: This property is an excellent example of the development of multi-function properties in urban settings in the 1940s, and specifically in the City of Palm Springs. The property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Drive was constructed to serve as a multi-family residential building that also has dedicated space for retail and office suites. Being designed just after the end of World War II, the owner and architect decided on the Regency Revival style of architecture that was able to reference both the refinement of detail, and delicacy of design to point to pre-WWII revival styles - and also present a building using strong geometric shapes and horizontal aspects post-WWII Modernism architecture. The subject building bridges the trend in Palm Springs of constructing Spanish Revival style bungalows and courtyard properties before the outset of WWII, to the arrival of the sleek and sparse Modern/International Style of architecture being designed in the City after the end of WWII.

Criterion 2: The building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. has not been found to be directly associated with any persons that have made a significant contribution to the history of real estate development or the construction of housing developments in the City of Palm Springs. Isador Rubin, who developed the property, was just one of many land speculators buying land, and developing commercial and residential buildings post-WWII in Palm Springs. The property is not eligible for listing in the CRHR under Criterion

2. Criterion 3: The building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. is an excellent and rare example of a Regency Revival property dating from 1947, and is the work of a master architect. The subject building was designed in 1946 by the renowned architectural team of Albert R. Walker, Gus Kalionzes, and James A. Zerbe. Albert R. Walker started his career in San Diego working with master architect Irving R. Gill, and then moved to Los Angeles to work first with John Parkinson, and then Myron H. Hunt, before setting up his own office.

The building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. is in excellent condition with 95% of its original materials and workmanship, and arcade configuration, still intact. As a Regency Revival style multi-use building of retail and residential use, with the residential units built as penthouses above the retail level, it is a rare and threatened property. The property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. is eligible for listing in the CRHR under Criterion 3.

Criterion 4: The subject property does not appear to have the potential to provide information about the prehistoric history of Palm Springs, Riverside County, or California. The property is not eligible for listing under Criterion 4.

Aspects of Integrity: The building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. has retained the essential physical features that make up its character and appearance associated with its construction in 1947. The property has retained an exceptionally high degree of the physical attributes of it construction – down to some of the smallest details such as door hardware and original window framing materials in the retail/office suites.

By having the original drawings that document the proposed front façade of Rubin’s building in 1946, we can easily see how little the building as it appears today varies from the original concept. The property has retained the aspects of design, workmanship, materials, location, setting, feeling, and association as explained below:

B – Page 1402 of 1899

HISTORICAL RESOURCES EVALUATION REPORT
457 N. PALM CANYON DR., PALM SPRINGS
Daly & Associates 32
Location: The subject property, 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr., continues to be located where it was constructed.

Setting: The subject property continues to be located in the retail and commercial corridor of Palm Springs.

Design: A review of the blueprints for the subject property, and an intensive-level survey of the physical aspects of the property, supports the finding that the building has retained its original form, plan, space, structure, and architectural style from when it was constructed in 1946.

Materials: A review of the original blueprints for the subject property, and an intensive level survey performed on the property, supports the finding that the building has retained an overwhelming amount of its original physical elements that were used in 1946 to construct the building.

Workmanship: The subject property has retained physical evidence of the construction and carpentry skills of workers trained in the first half of the twentieth-century.

Feeling: The subject property has retained the aesthetics and historic sense of retail shopping emporiums located in urban areas such as Beverly Hills or Hollywood, and dating from Post-World War I to circa 1950.

Association: The subject property allows a visitor to Palm Springs today, to have the authentic experience of shopping along North Palm Canyon drive immediately after the end of World War II.

The building at will be assigned the California Historical Resource Status Code of 3CS for being eligible for listing in the CRHR as an individual property through survey evaluation.

5.3 Palm Springs Designation
The property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. is eligible for being designated a Class I Structure/site in the City of Palm Springs for meeting the requirement of being a historic site and criterion 3, 4, and 5 under the following themes as presented in the “City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement and Survey Findings, December 2018”:

Multi-Family Residential Development Between the Wars (1919-1941[-1945]) Post-World War II Commercial Development (1945-1969)
Criterion 3: The property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. reflects and exemplifies the transitional period of American architecture that occurred in the 1940s punctuated by the global conflict of World War II that affected all aspects of life from circa 1939 to 1945. Once World War II ended in 1945, new construction of both residential and commercial properties could begin again in earnest since building materials, and manpower that had been directed towards the war effort, could be redirected to domestic projects.

Generally, in Southern California, many new buildings were designed using sleek new International Style modern architectural designs to reflect the “jet age” of the country, or older designs were used (i.e.

Colonial Revival, Regency Revival, Monterey Ranch) that appealed to an owners pre-War taste and personal preference. The building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr., constructed in 1946, eschewed a more sleek and sparse modern design to incorporate integral architectural details that reflected the glitz and glamour of Beverly Hills and Hollywood, using ornate cast metal railing panels and cresting on the penthouse patio walls, and classical forms in the trim work and carpentry.

HISTORICAL RESOURCES EVALUATION REPORT
457 N. PALM CANYON DR., PALM SPRINGS
Daly & Associates 33
Criterion 4: The property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. embodies the distinctive characteristics of an unusual type of commercial/retail building with the construction of an arcaded retail space on the first floor, and penthouse residential units on the second floor. Quite a few of California’s historic business districts are home to the open, garden patio style of small shops surrounding an open space, and many of these have second story residential units above the shops. The building at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. may have been designed by a collaboration of I. Rubin and Albert Walker to create - on a small scale – the “feel” of the row of shops within an enclosed space such as found in the better hotels of pre-World War II. Palm Springs was known as a seasonal vacation site, and Rubin’s building may have been designed with the idea of the small shops offering ladies and/or gentlemen’s garments, sportswear, shoes and hosiery, a milliner, and a haberdashery. We could find no specific trend to the types of goods sold in Rubin’s building, and in fact, in 1950 at least two of the units were converted to use as small studio apartment units.42 In regards to the penthouse units, their existence was so private that it wasn’t until 2016 when the Riverside County Register of Voters became aware that the property was comprised of ten commercial units and four residential units (being the homes of potential voters). 43 Criterion 5: The property at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr. was designed by Albert R. Walker, who had either individually, or in partnership with other well known architects, contributed to the built environment of Southern California evidenced by his designs for large-scale projects for churches, banks, hotels, office buildings, apartment buildings, movie theaters and hotels – including the El Mirador Hotel in Palm Springs constructed in 1927-28.44 The subject property is a well-preserved example of a Regency Revival style of multi-function building with a retail arcade on the first level, and the presence of two penthouse buildings on the roof of the arcade. This property is a contribution to his known body-ofwork as an important architect of the first-half of the twentieth-century in California.

As such the property may not be modified nor objects removed without the approval of the city council; usage may be limited by the city council to the extent that it may impair the integrity of the site. Site will be plaqued as the building still exists as it did when constructed in 1947.

6.1 Mitigation Measures
Any future project at 457 N. Palm Canyon Dr., which has the potential to alter the physical integrity of the building, must be reviewed for adherence to the National Park Service Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. As the building has been found eligible for listing in the CRHR, the owners may use the California Historic Building Code for future repairs or rehabilitation projects.
