*P3a. Description:
1205 Tamarisk West Street, a condominium within the Tamarisk West II community, was constructed in 1969 and it sits on a o.o8 acre parcel. The unit is attached along the eastern wall to 1206 Tamarisk West Street. The property is a single -story Desert Modernist style single-family residence with an irregular -shaped floor plan and a flat roof, which is clad in rolled composition sheets. The flat roof has an overhang that varies from short to wide with enclosed eaves and a thick cornice line on the front and side elevations facing out towards Tamarisk West Street. The single-family residence has asymmetrical facades with walls that have sections either entirely clad in uncoursed rock or stucco. The dwelling has an attached garage on the north elevation which has a modern metal -paneled sectional car door. The front entrance of the home is covered by a wide flat porch roof over the front door, which consists of two wooden doors adjacent to a three-lite sliding -fixed -sliding sash aluminum framed window. The home has an interior open patio behind an outer breeze block wall on the front elevation along Tamarisk West Street. The rear elevation is covered by a flat patio roof with a wide stucco -clad fascia board that is supported by square posts.

The rear elevation wall chiefly consists of in -kind replacement aluminum framed sliding glass doors and stucco dividing walls situated below long rectangular fixed transom lites that mirror the width of the door openings. The rear patio is divided from 1206 Tamarisk West Street patio by a wall clad in uncoursed rock. The floor of the rear patio is poured concrete. There appear to have been no significant additions to the property over time since construction. *P3b. Resource Attributes: HP3. Multiple

Period of Significance: 1969 Property Type: Single -Family Residential Applicable Criteria: NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3; Local Criteria a and 4 1205 Tamarisk West Street is a Desert Modernist style single-family residence within the Tamarisk West II community. The subject property was constructed in 1969 by Trenton J. Dunphy following designs developed by S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. In 1948, well renowned architect S. Charles Lee partnered with Chicago businessman Samuel Hayden to form the Hayden Lee Development Company. Together they built large tracts for residential and commercial properties in southwestern Los Angeles, including the Los Angeles International Airport district. While the Hayden Lee Company was in operation, an executive and salesman within the company, George Keiter, married Lee's only daughter, Connie, in 1949. During the mid -1950s and early 19605, Keiter was still a business partner and son-in-law to S. Charles Lee. Keiter and Lee had developed their own partnership and had completed several contracts with the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) for residential communities across the country.

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

By the early 19605, Lee's daughter and Keiter's wife, Connie, was an award -winning golfer. This motivated Keiter and Lee to partner in developing the Tamarisk West community in 1964, immediately adjacent to the western end of Tamarisk Country Club off Da Vali Drive. Together they formed Lee-Keiter Enterprises, a development firm. To complete the construction, which was built in three phases overtime, Keiter and Lee hired Trenton J. Dunphy, a contractor who had recently built the William Krisel designed Sandpiper condominiums in Palm Desert in 1958. Like Sandpiper, Lee planned to design homes with floor -to -ceiling windows at the rear of the homes which would lead out to patios that overlooked a pool. The flat patio roof overhangs were to extend out over the patio spaces to shield residents from the sun and the pools were to be built beneath grade to maintain mountain views. The post -and -beam buildings had rock wall and stucco facades, decorative breeze block walls, and desert colors like light -pink and brown, exemplifying the Desert Modern subtype of the International architectural style. The first homes at the southern end of the development surrounding two pools (Tamarisk West I) were built in 1964 and officially opened in 1965.

To complete the work on the second phase, Lee-Keiter Enterprises hired Michael Allan Black, a 1961 graduate of the USC School of Architecture who had just begun his own practice in 1968 after working for many years with E. Stewart Williams. He designed Tamarisk West II, with oversight and input from Lee, mirroring elements from Tamarisk West I, while also incorporating its own unique design traits. By 1969, they completed the second phase (Tamarisk West II). The third phase (Tamarisk West III) of the subdivision was finally completed in 1972.

This condominium was constructed five years after the first Tamarisk West community (Tamarisk West I) was completed to the south. It was also was part of the second phase of a planned community with different floor plans but a similar communal configuration to the first Tamarisk West development. This condo, and the others in the Tamarisk West II community, are associated with the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973) theme in Rancho Mirage. However, this dwelling was constructed in the second of three planned phases. There is no evidence to show that the design of this condominium unit individually significantly impacted the development of other nearby condos designed by other builders and architects in later years. Therefore, the property does not possess individual documented significance in relation to the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973) theme.

As a whole, the Tamarisk West II development is significantly associated with the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951- 1973) theme in Rancho Mirage because the cooperative living community is representative of the evolution of the City. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-198os) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The dwelling is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is not directly associated with significant events or patterns of events in local, regional, state, or national history. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the property is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as the home embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Desert Modernist style condominium constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 196os and is representative of the work of master architect S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. In 1969, Lee and Black designed the property with stucco and rock wall facades, floor -to -ceiling glass windows/doorways at the rear elevation, desert colors, and an expansive rear patio, which are all attributes clearly related to the Desert Modernist subtype of the International style. Current survey efforts showed that the garage door has been modified with replacement materials, the aluminum sliding glass doors/windows had been replaced in -kind, and new front doors had been installed, but the home has not been significantly altered on the exterior apart from these minor changes. The observed non -original materials are potentially reversible and do not significantly impact the overall integrity of the property, which has had no significant additions. Overall, the exterior remains intact and the original mid -loth century integrity of design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association are still clearly discernible. The home is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the property would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2-3 and 5-8. The condominium is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the property is representative of a mid -20th century Desert Modernist style residential building in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of a master architect, S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. Despite the garage door replacement, in -kind door/window replacements, and the replacement of the original solid wood front doors, the property appears to retain sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. These modifications, if removed in the future, can be replaced with period -appropriate materials without altering the essential form and integrity of the historic property. Overall, the building maintains adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance. As such, the property is assigned the 5B status code - locally significant both individually (listed, eligible, or appears eligible) and as contributor to a multi -component resource like a district that is locally listed, designated, determined eligible, or appears eligible through survey evaluation; the 3CB status code - appears eligible for CR both individually and as a contributor to a CR eligible multi -component resource through survey evaluation; and the 3B status code - appears eligible for NR both individually and as a contributor to a NR eligible multi -component resource like a district through survey evaluation.

However, the current owner has restored the two -door front door design and installed wooden doors that are similar, but differentiated from the original design, with long rectangular interior lites. Similarly, they removed the gabled skylight to more closely resemble the historic flat roof over the atrium. These treatments are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation as the replacement materials are compatible with the historic designs as they match historic features in size, scale, proportion, and massing to the design of the property. While the concrete block wall is still missing from the exterior, the design of the wall could potentially be restored based on existing examples of intact concrete block walls at other condos in the community.

Shortly after construction of this unit, the Second Tamarisk West Owners Association states that the first owner of the condo, Shirley Cole, commissioned the original developer, Lee-Keiter Enterprises, to build the domed skylights and enclose the atrium. According to aerial photographs, this work appears to have been completed sometime between 1975 and 1977.

During this time, the original owner also likely removed the concrete block wall adjacent to the garage door on the south elevation. In 2024, the wood rear entrance door adjacent to the garage was removed and replaced with a fiberglass framed door.

Period of Significance: 1969-1977 Property Type: Single -Family Residential Applicable Criteria: NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3; Local Criteria a and 4 1207 Tamarisk West Street is a Desert Modernist style single-family residence within the Tamarisk West II community. The subject property was constructed in 1969 by Trenton J. Dunphy following designs developed by S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. The first owner was Shirley Cole, the original radio voice of "Little Orphan Annie".

In 1948, well renowned architect S. Charles Lee partnered with Chicago businessman Samuel Hayden to form the Hayden Lee Development Company. Together they built large tracts for residential and commercial properties in southwestern Los Angeles, including the Los Angeles International Airport district. While the Hayden Lee Company was in operation, an executive and salesman within the company, George Keiter, married Lee's only daughter, Connie, in 1949. During the mid-195os and early 1960s, Keiter was still a business partner and son-in-law to S. Charles Lee. Keiter and Lee had developed their own partnership and had completed several contracts with the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) for residential communities across the country.

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

By the early 19605, Lee's daughter and Keiter's wife, Connie, was an award -winning golfer. This motivated Keiter and Lee to partner in developing the Tamarisk West community in 1964, immediately adjacent to the western end of Tamarisk Country Club off Da Vall Drive. Together they formed Lee-Keiter Enterprises, a development firm. To complete the construction, which was built in three phases overtime, Keiter and Lee hired Trenton J. Dunphy, a contractor who had recently built the William Krisel designed Sandpiper condominiums in Palm Desert in 1958. Like Sandpiper, Lee planned to design homes with floor -to -ceiling windows at the rear of the homes which would lead out to patios that overlooked a pool. The flat patio roof overhangs were to extend out over the patio spaces to shield residents from the sun and the pools were to be built beneath grade to maintain mountain views. The post -and -beam buildings had rock wall and stucco facades, decorative breeze block walls, and desert colors like light -pink and brown, exemplifying the Desert Modern subtype of the International architectural style. The first homes at the southern end of the development surrounding two pools (Tamarisk West I) were built in 1964 and officially opened in 1965.

The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as the home embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Desert Modernist style condominium constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 196os and is representative of the work of master architect S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. In 1969, Lee and Black designed the property with stucco and rock wall facades, floor -to -ceiling glass windows/doorways at the rear elevation, desert colors, and an expansive rear patio, which are all attributes clearly related to the Desert Modernist subtype of the International style. Current survey efforts showed that the garage door was modified with replacement materials, the atrium was converted to an indoor space following construction, and the outer concrete block wall was removed after construction. However, according to local sources and aerial photographs, Shirley Cole appears to have commissioned Lee-Keiter Enterprises between 1975 and 1977 to enclose the atrium with skylights and remove the concrete block wall. Therefore, Urbana staff assert that the Lee-Keiter Enterprises modifications are an extension of the original plan implemented by the developer and thus do not detract from the overall historic integrity of the property. The other modification, the garage door replacement is a minor alteration that is potentially reversible and does not significantly impact the overall integrity of the property.

Overall, the exterior remains intact and the original mid -20th century integrity of design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association are still clearly discernible. The home is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the property would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2-3 and 5-8. The condominium is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the property is representative of a mid -20th century Desert Modernist style residential building in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of a master architect, S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. Despite the noted alterations and replacement materials, the property appears to retain sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Overall, the building maintains adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance. As such, the property is assigned the 5B status code - locally significant both individually (listed, eligible, or appears eligible) and as contributor to a multi -component resource like a district that is locally listed, designated, determined eligible, or appears eligible through survey evaluation; the 3CB status code - appears eligible for CR both individually and as a contributor to a CR eligible multi -component resource through survey evaluation; and the 3B status code - appears eligible for NR both individually and as a contributor to a NR eligible multi -component resource like a district through survey evaluation.

The dwelling is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is not directly associated with significant events or patterns of events in local, regional, state, or national history. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the property is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is potentially eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as the home embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Desert Modernist style condominium constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 196os and is representative of the work of master architect S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. In 1969, Lee and Black designed the property with stucco and rock wall facades, floor -to -ceiling glass windows/doorways at the rear elevation, desert colors, and an expansive rear patio, which are all attributes clearly related to the Desert Modernist subtype of the International style. However, current survey efforts showed that the garage door was replaced with a modern sectional door, the aluminum sliding glass doors/windows were replaced with vinyl units of a similar design, new front doors were installed, and an outdoor grilling station was added to the rear patio. As most of the fenestration on the home has been altered overtime, the material integrity of the home has been significantly negatively impacted. While the observed non -original materials are potentially reversible, in their current state, they reduce the overall integrity of the property to the point where the home can no longer convey its potential individual significance under this criterion. Due to these changes, the home is not individually eligible under this criterion. However, the property does retain adequate integrity to qualify as a contributor to a potential Tamarisk West II historic district. The home is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the property would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2-3 and 5-8. The condominium is potentially eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the property is representative of a mid -loth century Desert Modernist style residential building in Rancho Mirage. It is also potentially eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of a master architect S.

Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. However, the lack of material integrity, due to window and door alterations, means that the dwelling can no longer convey any potential individual significance under both Local Register Criteria. In its current state, the property appears to retain only its integrity of location, design, setting, feeling, and association. These modifications, if removed in the future, can be replaced with period -appropriate materials that would improve the overall exterior integrity of the property to the point where it could convey its potential individual significance. Based on the condition of the property at the time of this survey, the home is assigned a 5D3 status code: appears to be a contributor to a multi -component resource that appears eligible for local listing or designation; a 3CD status code - appears eligible for CR as a contributor to a CR eligible multi -component resource through survey evaluation; and a 3D status code - appears eligible for NR as a contributor to a NR eligible multi -component resource through survey evaluation.

Period of Significance: 1969 Property Type: Single -Family Residential Applicable Criteria: NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3; Local ineligible 1210 Tamarisk West Street is a Desert Modernist style single-family residence within the Tamarisk West II community. The subject property was constructed in 1969 by Trenton J. Dunphy following designs developed by S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. In 1948, well renowned architect S. Charles Lee partnered with Chicago businessman Samuel Hayden to form the Hayden Lee Development Company. Together they built large tracts for residential and commercial properties in southwestern Los Angeles, including the Los Angeles International Airport district. While the Hayden Lee Company was in operation, an executive and salesman within the company, George Keiter, married Lee's only daughter, Connie, in 1949. During the mid -1950s and early 19605, Keiter was still a business partner and son-in-law to S. Charles Lee. Keiter and Lee had developed their own partnership and had completed several contracts with the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) for residential communities across the country.

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

The dwelling is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is not directly associated with significant events or patterns of events in local, regional, state, or national history. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the property is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as the home embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Desert Modernist style condominium constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 196os and is representative of the work of master architect S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. In 1969, Lee and Black designed the property with stucco and rock wall facades, floor -to -ceiling glass windows/doorways at the rear elevation, desert colors, and an expansive rear patio, which are all attributes clearly related to the Desert Modernist subtype of the International style. Current survey efforts showed that the garage door was replaced with a modern sectional door, the aluminum sliding glass doors/windows were replaced with vinyl units of a similar design, and new front doors were installed. As most of the fenestration on the home has been altered over time, the material integrity of the home has been significantly negatively impacted. While the observed non -original materials are potentially reversible, in their current state, they reduce the overall integrity of the property to the point where the home can no longer convey its potential individual significance under this criterion. Due to these changes, the home is not individually eligible under this criterion. However, the property does retain adequate integrity to qualify as a contributor to a potential Tamarisk West II historic district. The home is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the property would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

*P3a. Description: 1211 Tamarisk West Street, a condominium within the Tamarisk West II community, was constructed in 1969 and it sits on a 0.10 acre parcel. The unit is attached along the western wall to 1212 Tamarisk West Street. The property is a single -story Desert Modernist style single-family residence with an irregular -shaped floor plan and a flat roof, which is clad in rolled composition sheets. The flat roof has an overhang that varies from short to wide with enclosed eaves and a thick cornice line on the front and side elevations facing out towards Tamarisk West Street. The single-family residence has asymmetrical facades with walls that have sections either entirely clad in uncoursed rock or stucco. The dwelling has an attached garage on the south elevation which has a replacement metal -paneled sectional car door. The front entrance of the home is covered by a wide flat porch roof over the front doors, which consists of two wood framed glass doors, each with single rectangular lites.

Adjacent to the front doors to the north there is a three-lite sliding -fixed -sliding sash aluminum framed window. The home has an interior open patio with a concrete breeze block wall. The rear elevation is covered by a flat patio roof with a wide stucco - clad fascia board that is supported by square posts. The rear elevation wall chiefly consists of aluminum framed sliding glass doors and stucco dividing walls situated below long rectangular fixed transom lites that mirror the width of the door openings.

The rear patio is divided from 1212 Tamarisk West Street patio by a wall clad in uncoursed rock. The floor of the rear patio is poured concrete. There appear to have been no significant additions to the property over time since construction. *P3b. Resource Attributes: HP3. Multiple family property *P4. Resources Present: ❑ Building 0

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

By the early 19605, Lee's daughter and Keiter's wife, Connie, was an award -winning golfer. This motivated Keiter and Lee to partner in developing the Tamarisk West community in 1964, immediately adjacent to the western end of Tamarisk Country Club off Da Vali Drive. Together they formed Lee-Keiter Enterprises, a development firm. To complete the construction, which was built in three phases over time, Keiter and Lee hired Trenton J. Dunphy, a contractor who had recently built the William Krisel designed Sandpiper condominiums in Palm Desert in 1958. Like Sandpiper, Lee planned to design homes with floor -to -ceiling windows at the rear of the homes which would lead out to patios that overlooked a pool. The flat patio roof overhangs were to extend out over the patio spaces to shield residents from the sun and the pools were to be built beneath grade to maintain mountain views. The post -and -beam buildings had rock wall and stucco facades, decorative breeze block walls, and desert colors like light -pink and brown, exemplifying the Desert Modern subtype of the International architectural style. The first homes at the southern end of the development surrounding two pools (Tamarisk West I) were built in 1964 and officially opened in 1965.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2-3 and 5-8. The condominium is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the property is representative of a mid -loth century Desert Modernist style residential building in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of a master architect, S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. Despite the garage door replacement, in -kind door/window replacements, and the replacement of the original solid wood front doors, the property appears to retain sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. These modifications, if removed in the future, can be replaced with period -appropriate materials without altering the essential form and integrity of the historic property. Overall, the building maintains adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance. As such, the property is assigned the 5B status code - locally significant both individually (listed, eligible, or appears eligible) and as contributor to a multi -component resource like a district that is locally listed, designated, determined eligible, or appears eligible through survey evaluation; the 3CB status code - appears eligible for CR both individually and as a contributor to a CR eligible multi -component resource through survey evaluation; and the 3B status code - appears eligible for NR both individually and as a contributor to a NR eligible multi -component resource like a district through survey evaluation.

The dwelling is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is not directly associated with significant events or patterns of events in local, regional, state, or national history. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the property is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as the home embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Desert Modernist style condominium constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 196os and is representative of the work of master architect S.

In 1969, Lee and Black designed the property with stucco and rock wall facades, floor -to -ceiling glass windows/doorways at the rear elevation, desert colors, and an expansive rear patio, which are all attributes clearly related to the Desert Modernist subtype of the International style. Current survey efforts showed that the garage door was modified with replacement materials, the aluminum sliding glass doors/windows were replaced in -kind, and two new window openings were added, but the home has not been significantly altered on the exterior apart from these minor changes. The new windows are in - keeping with the design of the original units, utilizing the same aluminum sliding sash design. The observed alterations, including the new window openings, are potentially reversible and do not significantly impact the overall integrity of the property, which has had no significant additions. Overall, the exterior remains intact and the original mid -loth century integrity of design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association are still clearly discernible. The home is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the property would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2-3 and 5-8. The condominium is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the property is representative of a mid -loth century Desert Modernist style residential building in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of a master architect, S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. Despite the garage door replacement, in -kind door/window replacements, and the addition of two new windows, the property appears to retain sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. These modifications, if removed in the future, can be replaced with period -appropriate materials without altering the essential form and integrity of the historic property. Overall, the building maintains adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance. As such, the property is assigned the 5B status code - locally significant both individually (listed, eligible, or appears eligible) and as contributor to a multi -component resource like a district that is locally listed, designated, determined eligible, or appears eligible through survey evaluation; the 3CB status code - appears eligible for CR both individually and as a contributor to a CR eligible multi -component resource through survey evaluation; and the 3B status code - appears eligible for NR both individually and as a contributor to a NR eligible multi -component resource like a district through survey evaluation.

The subject property was designed by Williams, Clark, and Williams and completed in 1981 for use as a medical education center as the direct result of a $5 million gift to the Eisenhower Medical Center by Walter and Leonore Annenberg. In the late 19705, Dolores Hope and Eisenhower Medical Center President John Sinn approached the Annenbergs about developing a medical education center. Annenberg agreed to a $5 million gift and later donated another $5 million for educational programs. The building, which began construction in 1980, opened in November 1981. The facility was built to accommodate a 485 -seat amphitheater -style auditorium, and several private classrooms. Quickly after opening, the center became a popular venue for conferences and symposia. From the beginning of 1983 through July 1985, the Annenberg Center held 48 international conferences/symposia with a total of 5,447 participants. In 1986, the center hosted the World Medical Assembly, attracting about 500 participants from 5o countries. In 1996, the Annenberg Center held a three-day conference on preventing medical mistakes, which helped found the National Patient Safety Foundation.

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

Built as an early and significant addition to the Eisenhower Medical Center campus, the Annenberg Center for Health Sciences is individually significant within the theme of Cityhood (1973 — Present) in Rancho Mirage because the building significantly increased the range of services provided within the hospital campus and helped establish the Eisenhower Medical Center as a premier location for the advancement of medical sciences in the Coachella Valley and nationwide. Since its establishment, the building has become a hub for continuing education meetings, community health/wellness meetings, and a popular location for both national and international meetings with leading experts in specific areas of medicine and health care policy. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-198os) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The medical building is potentially individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is directly associated with a significant pattern of events in local Rancho Mirage history. However, the building was completed in 1981, and does not meet the 5o -year age requirement for listing in the NRHP. As a result, the property is only eligible under CRHR Criterion 1. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the building is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is potentially eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as it embodies the distinctive characteristics of an Organic Geometric style hospital building. The property has remained relatively intact since construction and it maintains its historic integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. However, the building was completed in 1981, and does not meet the 5o -year age requirement for listing in the NRHP. As a result, the property is only eligible under CRHR Criterion 3. It is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the property would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The hospital building is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2 and 4-8. The Annenberg Center for Health Sciences is eligible under Local Register Criterion i as it is representative of the Organic Geometric style. The Annenberg Center for Health Sciences is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3 as the property is representative of the development of the infrastructure growth in the City of Rancho Mirage. The property retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance under both of these criteria.

As such, the property is assigned the 5S3 status code - appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation; and the 3CS status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation.

*P3a. Description: The Betty Ford Center at 39-407 Vista Del Sol was constructed in 1982 east of the original 1971 Eisenhower building and it sits on a 14.28 acre parcel. The property consists of eight single -story buildings which have asymmetrical facades clad in coarse patterned stucco with large metal framed fixed windows. The roofs of all the buildings are flat with short parapet walls, moderate to wide overhangs, thick stucco -clad fascia, and enclosed eaves. The entrances to all buildings consist of metal framed glass doors in recessed entryways. Some buildings have front porch roofs supported by rectangular columns that are clad in either stucco or wood panels. In 1982, the property consisted of four buildings. The main building was 14,313 square feet and the other three buildings were 9,000 square feet. Following construction, the facility added four additional buildings over subsequent years. The first, Fisher Hall, was completed in 1986 and was designed by Milton Chambers and built by Trojan Properties, Rancho Mirage. The 13,00o square foot building was built to add twenty beds to the capacity of the Betty Ford Center. In March 1993, the Betty Ford Center added the James W. West Training Building, a 121 - seat auditorium building with two classrooms. In 2002, the complex added its two most recent buildings, the Daniels Children's Training Pavilion for young children with dependency issues and Ottenstein Hall, for specialized treatment and assessment services. In 2009, the Betty Ford Center added a new patient entrance structure connecting Ottenstein Hall to the Firestone Hall to improve the patient intake process.

The Betty Ford Center is an International style medical complex at 39-407 Vista Del Sol. The subject property was completed in 1982 for use as a substance abuse treatment center as the direct result of the efforts of former First Lady Betty Ford. In 1982 Betty Ford co-founded the facility with Leonard Firestone and Dr. James West. Her decision to open the center was a result of her own battle with alcoholism and addiction. Before and after its opening, Mrs. Ford worked to raise funds and to help research and design treatments to assist men, women, and families in recovery from alcoholism and other drug dependency. Today, the Betty Ford Center is regarded as one of the nation's foremost substance abuse treatment facilities in the world. When it opened, Mrs.

Ford patterned the drug and alcohol rehabilitation approach after the Hazelden Foundation's Minnesota Model of Care. In 2014, the Betty Ford Clinic and Hazelden merged, forming the nation's largest nonprofit addiction treatment center, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation.

The Betty Ford Center is potentially individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is directly associated with a significant pattern of events in local Rancho Mirage history. However, the center was completed in 1982, and does not meet the 5o -year age requirement for listing in the NRHP. As a result, the property is only potentially eligible under CRHR Criterion 1. While the four original buildings from 1982 remain, the complex as a whole has been substantially altered since its construction, doubling in size by adding four additional buildings and altering original Firestone Hall with a 2009 entryway/connector to Ottenstein Hall, which removed the entire original eastern elevation of the building. Due to the alterations, the property is not eligible under Criterion 1. The property is potentially individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the building is significantly associated with the life of Betty Ford, who spent much of her later life guiding the development of the center while living nearby. However, the property as a whole no longer retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance under this criterion as the original design and materials are no longer intact. Therefore, the property is not eligible under Criterion 2. The property is potentially eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as it embodies the distinctive characteristics of an International style medical center. However, the building was completed in 1982, and does not meet the 5o -year age requirement for listing in the NRHP. As a result, the property is only potentially eligible under CRHR Criterion 3. However, the property has not remained intact, and it only maintains its historic integrity of location, setting, workmanship, feeling, and association. Therefore, the property is not eligible under Criterion 3. The complex is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the property would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The medical center is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2, 4, and 6-8. The Betty Ford Center is potentially eligible under Local Register Criterion i as being representative of the International style. The Betty Ford Center is also considered potentially eligible under Local Register Criterion 3 as the property is representative of the development of the medical care in the City of Rancho Mirage. Lastly, the Betty Ford Center is potentially eligible under Local Register Criterion 5 as it is associated with the life and work of Betty Ford. However, the property as a whole no longer retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance under all of these criteria as the original design and materials are no longer intact. Due to additions and changes to the property over time, the Betty Ford Center only retains integrity of location, setting, workmanship, feeling, and association. The complex does not maintain adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance. As such, the property is assigned a 6Z status code: Found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register through survey evaluation.

*P3a. Description:

The Probst Professional Building in the Eisenhower Medical Center (Eisenhower Health) campus at 3900o Bob Hope Drive was constructed in 1972 southwest of the original building and it sits on a 48.33 acre parcel. The property is a Formalism style building that faces south and is rectangular, symmetrical, three -stories tall, and flat -roofed. A broad cornice and parapet decorated with an incised geometric 'fountain' motif distinguishes the roofline. Exteriors are sheathed in smooth stucco. The building has a temple -like appearance with a series of equally spaced vertical panels suggesting classical columns from the ground floor to the third floor elevations. Narrow fixed windows of black anodized aluminum are recessed between the panels.

There appear to have been no significant additions to the property over time since construction. *P3b. Resource Attributes: HP41. Hospital

The subject property was the result of a $1 million donation from the treasurer and trustee of the Eisenhower Medical Center, Walter F. Probst, and his wife Eleanor Probst. Edward Durell Stone, who had designed the original Eisenhower Memorial Hospital Building, was also commissioned for this building, which was completed in 1972 for use as an office building on the campus. A native of Michigan, Walter F. Probst was chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Essex International Inc., a technological development company headquartered in Detroit. He was a highly successful businessman who became a philanthropist later in life, donating much of his time and energy in the 19705 to the development of the Eisenhower Medical Center.

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

Edward Durell Stone was born in 1902 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He attended the University of Arkansas before moving to Boston in 1922. Though he did not earn a degree, Stone attended courses at the Boston Architectural Club (now Boston Architectural College), Harvard University's School of Architecture, and MIT. He moved to New York in 1929 and joined the firm of Schultze & Weaver.

While there, he designed the main lobby, grand ballroom, and private dining rooms of the Waldorf-Astoria. Stone became an early adopter of the New Formalist style, drawing inspiration from his visits to Europe. Stone achieved success nationally and internationally. He lived in New York for the rest of his life, but designed many important buildings throughout the country. Notable works by Stone include the Radio City Music Hall, the US Pavilion at the Brussels World's Fair, the Kennedy Center in DC, the Mandel House in Bedford Hills, NY, Stone retired in 1974 and died in 1978.

Building, Structure, Object Information Continued:

Built as an early and significant addition to the Eisenhower Medical Center campus, the Probst Professional Building is individually significant within the theme of Commercial Development (1934-1973) in Rancho Mirage because the building significantly increased the capacity for medical providers to hold offices on the Eisenhower Medical Center campus, helped establish the Eisenhower Medical Center as a premier location for the advancement of medical sciences in the Coachella Valley and nationwide.

Since its establishment, the building has become an important component of the facility, and essential for the staff that works on the property. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-198os) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The medical building is individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/a, as it is directly associated with a significant pattern of events in local Rancho Mirage history. The building is an important component of the history of the Eisenhower Medical Center, and by extension, the history of Rancho Mirage. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the building is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. While Walter Probst was a significant philanthropist, he did not design the building and did not occupy and office in the building. The property is potentially eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a New Formalism style hospital building and it is representative of the work of master architect Edward Durell Stone. The property is relatively intact since construction and it maintains its historic integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. It is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the property would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The hospital building is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2 and 5-8. The Probst Professional Building is eligible under Local Register Criterion a as it is representative of the New Formalism style. The Probst Professional Building is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3 as the property is representative of the development of the infrastructure growth in the City of Rancho Mirage. It is also considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as the Probst Professional Building represents the work of a master architect Edward Durell Stone, a pioneer of the New Formalism movement. The property retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance under all of these criteria. As such, the property is assigned the 5S3 status code - appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation; the 3CS status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation; and the 3S status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

The Desert View Animal Clinic added an addition to the southern (side) elevation of the building some time during the 1960s. In 1990, the hospital expanded the complex further by adding an ancillary building to the property, located south of the original structure for their 'Pet Resort', a facility for overnight animal boarding. Based on the condition of exterior materials at both buildings, the original structure was likely remodeled during the same time. See Continuation Sheet for further construction history.

71-074 Highway 111 is a Neo-Spanish Colonial Revival style commercial building on the Highway 111 corridor. The subject property was built in 1953 as the Desert View Animal Clinic operated by Dr. James R. Ketchersid for use as his home and office.

The original property was designed by notable Modernist architect, Walter S. White. In 1990 the animal clinic expanded and re - branded as the Desert View Animal Hospital & Pet Resort, with a separate building at 71-075 Highway a11. In 2005, VCA acquired the business and integrated the veterinary office into their nationwide network.

Walter S. White was born in San Bernardino, California and attended San Bernardino High School from 1933 to 1936. Growing up, White learned construction from his father who was a builder in the San Bernardino area. After one semester at San Bernardino Valley Junior College in 1936, White spent the next decade working for various architects, builders, and engineers in the Los Angeles area. During that time, he worked for Harwell Hamilton Harris, Rudolf Schindler, and Allen Ruoff. During WWII, he worked for Douglas Aircraft as a machine tool designer.

In 2000, the owners received a permit to install two new interior walls and new x-ray machines (Permit No. B0001398). In 2006, the hospital received a permit for tenant improvements and a permit for two new signs (Permit No. Bo600012 & Bo600951). In 2009, the owner received an electrical permit to imporve existing systems (Permit No. Bo9oo123). The animal hospital received a permit in 2015 for a new monument and wall sign (Permit No. Bi5oo3io). In 2018, the animal hospital was re -roofed (Permit No. Ba8o1786) and the store front was repaired the following year in 2019 (Permit No. B17o1541).

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

After the war in 1947, White returned to architecture and worked for over a year for the Palm Spring architects, John Porter Clark and Albert Frey. In 1948, White moved to La Quinta and designed his first office building on Highway 1ilto work as a self-employed designer. In the Coachella Valley, White focused on designing affordable homes that mitigated the summer heat and provided ample mountain views for residents. Throughout the course of his career, White designed at least 48 homes in the Palm Desert area.

During the 196os, after he obtained his Colorado architecture license, White developed modestly sized and standardized mountain cabins in Colorado Springs with limited building materials. In 1967, he returned to California where he focused his work during the 197os and 198os. In Southern California, White designed various sized residential buildings (from single-family homes to multi -unit dwellings), recreational complexes, commercial buildings, churches, and clubhouses. He died in 2002 at the age of 85 and Walter S.

White is widely remembered as a notable modernist architect who focused on industrial and energy efficient designs throughout Southern California.

Built as the first veterinary clinic in Rancho Mirage, the Desert View Animal Clinic is individually significant within the theme of Commercial Development (1934-1973) in Rancho Mirage because it significantly impacted the commercial landscape of the Highway 111 corridor early in the history of the City of Rancho Mirage, providing services that are essential for an independent established community. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-198os) theme but it is not considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The commercial building is potentially individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/a, as it is directly associated with a significant pattern of events in local Rancho Mirage history. However, significant additions to the property over time have negatively impacted the building's integrity to the historic period. An early 196os addition altered the original floor plan of the 1953 building and the 1990 addition/remodel impacted the historic design, materials, and setting of the property. Therefore, the building does not retain sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance under this criterion. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the building is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is potentially eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Neo-Spanish Colonial Revival style commercial building and was originally designed by Walter S. White. However, additions and renovations have altered the original design, materials, and setting. Therefore, the building does not retain sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance under this criterion. It is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the property would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The commercial building is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2 and 5-8. The Desert View Animal Clinic is potentially eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as it is representative of the Neo-Spanish Colonial Revival style. However, it no longer retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance under this criterion. Desert View Animal Clinic is potentially considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3 as the property is representative of the development of the economic growth of the City of Rancho Mirage. It is also potentially considered eligible under Criterion 4 as the property was initially designed by notable Master Architect, Walter S. White in 1953. However, additions have altered the original design, materials, and setting, impacting the overall integrity of the property. Due to additions and changes to the property over time, the property only retains integrity of location, workmanship, feeling, and association. The building does not maintain adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance. As such, the property is assigned a 6Z status code: Found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register through survey evaluation.

Fincher was a general contractor (The Desert Sun, Mar 04, 1960, pg 9). He began working as a contractor circa 1950, first in Palos Verdes before coming to the Coachella Valley circa 1957. He was the founder of the construction company, John E. Fincher & Sons (Palm Desert Post, May 15, 1980 .Page 14). In addition to helping her husband with running the business, Luella Fincher was a charter member of the Rancho Mirage Woman's Club and the Rancho Mirage/Cathedral City Soroptimist Club. She was an ambassador for th Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce and was awarded Woman of the Year, Athena Award in 1998 (The Desert Sun, Aug 14, 2007, pg 12).

John Fincher's construction company completed many projects throughout the Coachella Valley. Projects attributed to Fincher include: 71-551 Biskra Road, Rancho Mirage in 1960, the Sandpiper Condominiums in Indian Wells, a Spanish Mediterranean style luxury condominium complex at Andreas Hills in Palm Canyon in 1970, the Desert Dorado single-family subdivision in Palm Springs in 1972, the Prickly Pear office/shopping center in Palm Desert in 1973, the Ironwood Country Club in Palm Desert in 1975; and The Springs and Morningside Country Club in Rancho Mirage (The Desert Sun, Oct 19, 1960, pg 8; The Desert Sun, Dec 09, 1960, pg 18; Palm Desert Post, Jul 20, 1967, pg a; The Desert Sun, Mar 27, 197o, pg 6; The Desert Sun, Sep 16, 1972, pg 13; Palm Desert Post, Jul 26, 1973, pg13; The Desert Sun, Mar 28, 1975, pg 3o; The Desert Sun, Aug 14, 2007, pg 12).

Other known owners include Edward Lotstein, who occupied the residence from 1995- 2011. Lotstein owned several businesses, including Franklin Real Estate Holdings in 1995 (The Desert Sun, Mar 23, 1995, pg 37; The Desert Sun, Oct 29, 1997, pg 40).

The residence was constructed in the Desert Modernist style. The residence features character defining features of the style including a flat roof, an asymmetrical plan, a recessed entry, a broad expanse of uninterrupted wall surface clad in stone, floor -to - ceiling windows at the rear elevation, wide enclosed eaves, and an attached garage.

The current 2024 survey found that the dwelling is associated with the new theme of Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973), but it does not possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-198os) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The single-family residence is considered eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as the property individually embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Desert Modernist style home constructed within Rancho Mirage in the 196os. The property is also eligible under Local Register Criteria 1 and 7 as it is representative of a Desert Modernist style home that embodies an outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, craftsmanship, and use of materials. As the dwelling has not been substantially altered, it maintains adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance. The 2024 evaluation found that the property should be assigned the 5S1 status code - Individual property that is listed or designated locally; the 3CS status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation; and the 3S status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

Bic). Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

The property is associated with the new theme of Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973), but the home appears to be a custom property, built before the subdivision of Desert Sun Ranch Estates in 1961. Therefore, it does not possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-198os) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

Additionally, the setting has evolved and the neighborhood around has been in -filled with new housing post construction. However, the residence was built during a time of heavy residential development and it was expected that later homes would in -fill the neighborhood. Therefore, on the exterior, property retains its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and it maintains adequate historic integrity to convey its significance under this criterion. It is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the dwelling would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2-4 and 6-8. The Kaye Ballard Residence is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the residence is representative of a mid -20th century Contemporary style home in Rancho Mirage. It is also considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 5, as it is associated with the life and work of Kaye Ballard, a long- time local resident and significant national entertainer. The property appears to retain sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The dwelling has not been substantially altered and it maintains adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance. The property is assigned the 551 status code - Individual property that is listed or designated locally; the 3C5 status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation; and the 3S status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

Bic). Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

The property is associated with the new theme of Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973), as it is one of the early Contemporary style houses constructed within the Sunny Lane Palms Estates subdivision. It is one of the few original homes from that development campaign that is still relatively intact. Therefore, it does possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934.-198os) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The dwelling is individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is directly associated with a significant housing development within the early residential history of Rancho Mirage. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the home is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as a representative example of a Contemporary style residence constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 1960s. While some replacement materials are present on the exterior, such as the non -historic front gate and garage door and two additions have been added to the property over time, the windows, stucco exterior, and original massing remain intact.

Overall, the exterior of the property retains its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and it maintains adequate historic integrity to convey its significance under this criterion. It is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the dwelling would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2 and 4-8. The property is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion i as the residence is representative of a mid -20th century Contemporary style home in Rancho Mirage. It is also considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3, as the property is representative of the development of the City of Rancho Mirage. The property appears to retain sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The dwelling has not been substantially altered and it maintains adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance under the criteria. The property is assigned the 5Sa status code - Individual property that is listed or designated locally; the 3CS status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation; and the 3S status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

The garage features prominent "spider leg" roof support posts that extend away from the building and out to the wall at the front of the property. The roof is a mix of flat and side -gabled forms, with the gabled portion clad in rounded terracotta tiles. The exterior of the home is clad in stucco and tongue -and -groove vertical wood boards. The low driveway wall is constructed of concrete and clad in uncoursed stone. At the front elevation there are a series of narrow fixed windows. The residence is constructed in the Desert Modernist style with the use of stone, stucco, and wood siding materials. The mix of materials and general form of the building match the stylistic elements of the other two homes within Thunderbird North that were also designed by Wexler & Harrison.

Bic). Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

In 1953, a Dallas developer named A. Pollard Simons bought the 40 -acre Loupe Ranch north of Thunderbird Country Club on the northeast corner of Country Club Drive and Morningside Drive. The Loupe Ranch was a farming property consisting of two homes, citrus trees, dates, and grapes. By 1955, Simons decided to convert 7 acres bordering the country club into a small private resort community for him and his friends who were all members. These friends included the Texas oilman Monty Moncrief and Thunderbird's all pro golfer Jimmy Hines. Together, they gradually built ten homes for each of them around a central community pool and an 8,00o -square foot private putting green. Each of the houses were individually custom built, three of which were designed by William Cody and another three were designed by Donald Wexler and Richard Harrison (Wexler & Harrison). The first two homes were completed in 1956 and the last was completed in 1978.

Born in Sioux Falls SD but raised in Minneapolis MN, Donald Allen Wexler served in the Navy during WWII and graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1950. He moved to Los Angeles to work for Richard Neutra then moved to Palm Springs in 1952 to work for William Cody. Later that year in 1952, Wexler, along with Richard Harrison from Cody's firm, set up Wexler & Harrison. In 196o, the George Alexander Construction Company hired them to design a neighborhood of prefab all -steel homes in Palm Springs. Due to high steel costs, the project was halted after just seven homes were built, but those that were completed became widely acclaimed. Wexler & Harrison dissolved in 1961 and Donald Wexler began to work independently. At the same time, he owned Wexler and Perrin-Boggio Architects and Engineers. From 1969 to 200o he worked again as an independent architect. WWCOT (Widom, Wein, Cohen, O'Leary, and Terasawa) which became DLR acquired Wexler's firm in 2000. Wexler practiced in Palm Springs for almost six decades designing houses, schools, hotels, banks and among many other projects, including the 1966 main terminal building for the Palm Springs International Airport. He died in 2015.

Richard Arnett Harrison was born in Los Angeles on June 5, 1924. Richard "Rick" attended University High School in Los Angeles. He went on to graduate from University of Southern California in 1951 with a degree in Architecture. After travel to Mexico and Canada, Harrison began work at William F. Cody's firm in Palm Springs from July 1951 to February 1953, where he worked side by side with his soon to be partner Donald Wexler (who previously began his career in the office of Richard Neutra). Harrison went on to design homes throughout Southern California including Seven Lakes, and enclaves of homes in Nevada.

The property is associated with the new theme of Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973), as it is one of the first custom homes built within Thunderbird North. It is one of the original homes from that development campaign that is still relatively intact and it is designed by one of the chief firms responsible for developing the small private community. Therefore, the property does possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-198os) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The dwelling is individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is directly associated with a significant housing development within the early residential history of Rancho Mirage. Thunderbird North is a unique housing community within the City of Rancho Mirage and it encompasses many of the themes of the early home buyers who settled the area after the establishment of Thunderbird Country Club. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the home is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as a representative example of a Desert Modernist style residence constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 19605 designed by master architects Donald Allen Wexler and Richard A. Harrison. While some alterations have been made to the property over time, most notably the addition of the pool and the replacement of the windows, most of the materials remain intact. The windows were replaced in -kind and the rear pool does not significantly detract from the material integrity of the dwelling itself. Overall, the exterior of the property retains its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and it maintains adequate historic integrity to convey its significance under this criterion. It is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the dwelling would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

It was locally designated on July 15, 2010. Built as a Contemporary style single-family residence, the property features a front -gabled roof, an asymmetrical plan, angular massing, large picture windows, and an offset front entrance. The home was built as one of the first Valley of the Sun tract homes in the Contemporary style that were constructed between 1957 and 1958. Located north of Cypress Lane around two cul- de-sacs called Sandsu Circle and Sandsal Circle, the Valley of the Sun tract was built in 1957-1958 and was the first residential subdivision built in the vicinity of the Tamarisk Country Club. Valley of the Sun includes 15 homes designed by master architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer, who formed a partnership in 1949 and finished their Smoke Tree Valley project (now Twin Palms Estates) in Palm Springs just prior to initiating work on Valley of the Sun. Builder George M. Holstein & Sons began construction in the summer of 1957, including 12 homes along the cul-de-sacs and three on Palomino Lane. The Palmer & Krisel designs were all of post -and -beam construction with varying rooflines, glass walls, exterior rock facades, and exposed beam ceilings. The designs mirrored those found in Twin Palms Estates, offering different variations of similar plans. By March 1959, all 15 homes were sold and most remain extant in good condition today.

Bic). Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

William Krisel was born in 1924 in Shanghai of American parents working overseas for the U.S. State Department. Krisel lived in China until age 13, when his family returned to the US, where he attended Beverly Hills High. During WWII, Krisel was assigned to General Joe Stilwell as a Chinese interpreter. Following the war, he attended the USC School of Architecture and graduated in 1949.

He also earned a license as a landscape architect in 1954. Designing more than 30,00o living units throughout Southern California, Krisel's career spanned over 51 years. A close personal friend of developer Bob Alexander and his family, Krisel came to the Coachella Valley at his request to design a tract of modernist houses dubbed Smoke Tree Valley. Other Palmer & Krisel projects included the Ocotillo Lodge, Las Palmas Estates (Vista Las Palmas), Kings Point and Canyon View Estates, Racquet Club Estates, "Valley of the Sun" in Rancho Mirage and the Sandpiper condo complex in Palm Desert (which garnered an AIA merit award for Landscape Architecture). The "House of Tomorrow," conceived as an experiment in modern living, so impressed Alexander's wife Helene that they made it their personal residence. The house later gained fame as the honeymoon home of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. Krisel is one of the few mid-century modern architects who lived to participate in the resurgence of modernism. In his final years, he contributed to the restoration of many of his original designs. Beginning in 2008, Krisel collaborated with Maxx Livingstone on exact replicas of his mid-century designs, constructed with all new materials and aimed towards LEED certification. He died in June 2017.

The property is associated with the new theme of Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973), as it is one of the early Contemporary style houses constructed within the Valley of the Sun subdivision. It is one of the few original homes from that development campaign that is still relatively intact. Therefore, it does possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-1980s) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The dwelling is individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is directly associated with a significant housing development within the early residential history of Rancho Mirage. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the home is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as a representative example of a Contemporary style residence constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 195os designed by master architect William Krisel. Overall, the exterior of the property retains its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and it maintains adequate historic integrity to convey its significance under this criterion. It is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the dwelling would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2, 5-6, and 8. The property is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the residence is representative of a mid -20th century Contemporary style home in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3, as the property is representative of the development of the City of Rancho Mirage, being one of the few intact homes from the Valley of the Sun development. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of master architect William Krisel. Furthermore, the property is eligible under Local Register Criterion 7 as it embodies elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, craftsmanship and materials. The property appears to retain sufficient integrity from the historic period to convey its significance under the criteria. The property is assigned the 5Si status code - Individual property that is listed or designated locally; the 3CS status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation; and the 3S status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

Significance: Theme: Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives, 1951-1973 Area: City of Rancho Mirage Period of Significance: 1959 Property Type: Single -Family Residential Applicable Criteria: NRHP/CRHR Criteria A/1 and C/3; Local Criteria 1, 3, 4, and 7 36-567 Palomino Lane was constructed in 1959 and designed by Palmer & Krisel. It was was locally designated on October 20, 2011. Built as a Contemporary style single-family residence, the property features a butterfly roof, an asymmetrical plan, angular massing, large picture windows, and an offset front entrance. The home was built as one of the early Valley of the Sun tract homes in the Contemporary style. Located north of Cypress Lane around two cul-de-sacs called Sandsu Circle and Sandsal Circle, the Valley of the Sun tract was built in 1957-1958 and was the first residential subdivision built in the vicinity of the Tamarisk Country Club. Valley of the Sun includes 15 homes designed by master architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer, who formed a partnership in 1949 and finished their Smoke Tree Valley project (now Twin Palms Estates) in Palm Springs just prior to initiating work on Valley of the Sun. Builder George M. Holstein & Sons began construction in the summer of 1957, including 12 homes along the cul-de-sacs and three on Palomino Lane. The Palmer & Krisel designs were all of post -and -beam construction with varying rooflines, glass walls, exterior rock facades, and exposed beam ceilings. The designs mirrored those found in Twin Palms Estates, offering different variations of similar plans. By March 1959, all 15 homes were sold and most remain extant in good condition today.

Bic). Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

The property is associated with the new theme of Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973), as it is one of the early Contemporary style houses constructed within the Valley of the Sun subdivision. It is one of the few original homes from that development campaign that is still relatively intact. Therefore, it does possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-1980s) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The dwelling is individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is directly associated with a significant housing development within the early residential history of Rancho Mirage. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the home is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as a representative example of a Contemporary style residence constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 195os designed by master architect William Krisel. Overall, the exterior of the property retains its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and it maintains adequate historic integrity to convey its significance under this criterion. It is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the dwelling would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2, 5-6, and 8. The property is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion i as the residence is representative of a mid -20th century Contemporary style home in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3, as the property is representative of the development of the City of Rancho Mirage, being one of the few intact homes from the Valley of the Sun development. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of master architect William Krisel. Furthermore, the property is eligible under Local Register Criterion 7 as it embodies elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, craftsmanship and materials. The property appears to retain sufficient integrity from the historic period to convey its significance under the criteria. The property is assigned the 5S1 status code - Individual property that is listed or designated locally; the 3CS status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation; and the 3S status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

7o-378 Pecos Road, also known as White Shadows was constructed in 1957 and designed by Henry Eggers and Walter Wilkman (Eggers & Wilkman) for Thomas B. and Dottie Davis, heirs to the Weyerhaeuser Lumber Company fortune. It was locally designated on March 3, 2016. Built as a Modernist and Moorish Revival style single-family residence, the property features a Marrakech -style open center courtyard, fountain, arched portals, carved walnut grilles, and slender columns supporting round arches. White marble floors are complemented by the white smooth stucco walls across all elevations, which led Dottie to nickname the property 'White Shadows'. When it was built, the Davis family commissioned the British -born T.H.Robsjohn Gibbings to design the interiors and custom furnishings.

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

Henry Eggers was born in Denver, Colorado on May 12, 1911. Earning his Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from Cornell in 1933 and the Sands Medal that same year, Henry Eggers lived much of his life in the Los Angeles area where he died at the age of 75. Eggers joined the Southern California Chapter of the AIA in 1943 and served as the Chapter Secretary between 1947-48. During the years 1946-48 he was a partner in the firm Kaufmann, Lippincott & Eggers. Partnering with Walter W. Wilkman in the firggers and Wilkman, Architects (1956-66) he ran the business from his home office at 704 Heatherside Road in Pasadena.

Walter W. Wilkman was born in Wilmington, Delaware in 1917. He attended Wentworth Institute from 1935 to 1937. Afterwards, he became a draftsman at Perry, Shaw, and Hepburn, Architects, Boston, Massachusetts from 1937 to 1938. He took classes at the Boston Architectural Center from 1937 to 1940, and additional coursework at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1940 to 1941. He became a designer at the Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation from 1941 to 1942. After WWII, he became a designer for Kauffmann, Lippincott, and Eggers, Architects from 1946 to 1948.

One of the earlier houses built within the Thunderbird Heights, White Shadows is associated with the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973) theme in Rancho Mirage. However, the dwelling is not individually significantly associated with development within the community. It did not influence the design or direction of other houses built in the neighborhood during the late 195os and early 19605. Therefore, it does not possess individual documented significance in relation to the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973) theme. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-198os) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2-3, 5-6, and 8. The property is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the residence is representative of a mid -loth century Modernist and Moorish Revival style home in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of master architect Eggers & Wilkman. Furthermore, the property is eligible under Local Register Criterion 7 as it embodies elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, craftsmanship and materials. The property appears to retain sufficient integrity from the historic period to convey its significance under the criteria. The property is assigned the 5Si status code - Individual property that is listed or designated locally; the 3CS status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation; and the 3S status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

It was locally designated on June 19, 2014. Built as a Contemporary style single-family residence, the property features a butterfly roof, an asymmetrical plan, angular massing, large picture windows, and an offset front entrance. The home was built as one of the Valley of the Sun tract homes in the Contemporary style that were constructed between 1957 and 1958. Located north of Cypress Lane around two cul-de-sacs called Sandsu Circle and Sandsal Circle, the Valley of the Sun tract was built in 1957-1958 and was the first residential subdivision built in the vicinity of the Tamarisk Country Club. Valley of the Sun includes 15 homes designed by master architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer, who formed a partnership in 1949 and finished their Smoke Tree Valley project (now Twin Palms Estates) in Palm Springs just prior to initiating work on Valley of the Sun. Builder George M. Holstein & Sons began construction in the summer of 1957, including 12 homes along the cul-de-sacs and three on Palomino Lane. The Palmer & Krisel designs were all of post -and - beam construction with varying rooflines, glass walls, exterior rock facades, and exposed beam ceilings. The designs mirrored those found in Twin Palms Estates, offering different variations of similar plans. By March 1959, all 15 homes were sold and most remain extant in good condition today.

He also earned a license as a landscape architect in 1954. Designing more than 30,000 living units throughout Southern California, Krisel's career spanned over 51 years. A close personal friend of developer Bob Alexander and his family, Krisel came to the Coachella Valley at his request to design a tract of modernist houses dubbed Smoke Tree Valley. Other Palmer & Krisel projects included the Ocotillo Lodge, Las Palmas Estates (Vista Las Palmas), Kings Point and Canyon View Estates, Racquet Club Estates, "Valley of the Sun" in Rancho Mirage and the Sandpiper condo complex in Palm Desert (which garnered an AIA merit award for Landscape Architecture). The "House of Tomorrow," conceived as an experiment in modern living, so impressed Alexander's wife Helene that they made it their personal residence. The house later gained fame as the honeymoon home of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. Krisel is one of the few mid-century modern architects who lived to participate in the resurgence of modernism. In his final years, he contributed to the restoration of many of his original designs. Beginning in 2008, Krisel collaborated with Maxx Livingstone on exact replicas of his mid-century designs, constructed with all new materials and aimed towards LEED certification. He died in June 2017.

The property is associated with the new theme of Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973), as it is one of the early Contemporary style houses constructed within the Valley of the Sun subdivision. It is one of the few original homes from that development campaign that is still relatively intact. Therefore, it does possess individual documented significance in relation to this theme. It is also associated with the Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles (1934-198os) theme and is considered a significant representative example of a known architectural style in the community.

The dwelling is individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is directly associated with a significant housing development within the early residential history of Rancho Mirage. The property is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the home is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as a representative example of a Contemporary style residence constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 195os designed by master architect William Krisel. Overall, the exterior of the property retains its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and it maintains adequate historic integrity to convey its significance under this criterion. It is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the dwelling would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The single-family residence is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2, 5-6, and 8. The property is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion i as the residence is representative of a mid -loth century Contemporary style home in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3, as the property is representative of the development of the City of Rancho Mirage, being one of the few intact homes from the Valley of the Sun development. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of master architect William Krisel. Furthermore, the property is eligible under Local Register Criterion 7 as it embodies elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, craftsmanship and materials. The property appears to retain sufficient integrity from the historic period to convey its significance under the criteria. The property is assigned the 5Si status code - Individual property that is listed or designated locally; the 3C5 status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation; and the 3S status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

36-400 Sandsu Circle was constructed in 1958 and designed by Palmer & Krisel. It was locally designated on June 19, 2014. Built as a Contemporary style single-family residence, the property features a butterfly roof, an asymmetrical plan, angular massing, large picture windows, and an wooden post -and -beam construction. The home was built as one of the Valley of the Sun tract homes in the Contemporary style that were constructed between 1957 and 1958. Located north of Cypress Lane around two cul- de-sacs called Sandsu Circle and Sandsal Circle, the Valley of the Sun tract was built in 1957-1958 and was the first residential subdivision built in the vicinity of the Tamarisk Country Club. Valley of the Sun includes 15 homes designed by master architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer, who formed a partnership in 1949 and finished their Smoke Tree Valley project (now Twin Palms Estates) in Palm Springs just prior to initiating work on Valley of the Sun. Builder George M. Holstein & Sons began construction in the summer of 1957, including 12 homes along the cul-de-sacs and three on Palomino Lane. The Palmer & Krisel designs were all of post -and -beam construction with varying rooflines, glass walls, exterior rock facades, and exposed beam ceilings. The designs mirrored those found in Twin Palms Estates, offering different variations of similar plans. By March 1959, all 15 homes were sold and most remain extant in good condition today.

*P3a. Description:
70-170 Sonora Road, also known as the Kassinger Residence, is located at the northeast side of Sonora Road in the Thunderbird Heights neighborhood. The home, constructed in 1980, is set on a o.6o acre parcel. The one-story, single family residence has a rectangular floor plan with asymmetrical facades. At the time of the 2024 survey, the residence was in the process of an extensive renovation campaign and many features were in the process of being removed and replaced. Prior to the renovation, the residence had a flat roof with no overhang at the front elevation along Sonora Road, but covered walkways with enclosed eaves and a wide overhang at the rear. The exterior is clad in smooth stucco with long unbroken expanses clad uncoursed stone.

A stone privacy wall extends across the front elevation on Sonora Road. The front elevation has two large openings, one for the front entrance at the western end and another for the driveway at the eastern end. The front entrance is recessed beneath a flat porch roof with a wide overhang and enclosed eaves. Prior to the renovation, the front entrance had a metal grated entrance with two doors, and interior open courtyard garden beyond the gate, metal framed single-lite glass doors, sliding glass doors at the rear, floor -to -ceiling window walls, and decorative metal posts at the rear extending out and down from the back patio roof overhang. The property also had a pool in the backyard where the pool surround was clad in concrete and the patio floors were covered in square tile. There appear to have been no significant additions to the building overtime. *P3b. Resource Attributes: HP2. single-family property
