Significance: Theme: Cityhood, 1973 - Present Area: City of Rancho Mirage Period of Significance: 1980 Property Type: Single -Family Residential Applicable Criteria: NRHP ineligible; CRHR Criterion 3; Local Criteria a, 4, and 7 70-170 Sonora Road was constructed in 1980 and designed by Donald Wexler for Herman Kassinger and his wife Alexandra. It was locally designated on September 17, 2015. Built as a Desert Modernist style single-family residence, the property features a flat roof, an asymmetrical plan, post and beam construction, floor -to -ceiling windows at the rear elevation, a mix of cladding materials, and a low building profile. Herman Kassinger was a German born WWII pilot who immigrated to Canada in 1952. In Oshawa he founded H. Kassinger Development Inc., where he built 5,00o housing units over the course of his career. Later, he moved to Palm Springs where he focused on constructing commercial developments. In 1979, he partnered with Donald Wexler to create The Rose Garden community in Palm Springs at 1293 Tiffany Circle North, where Gary Jon designed the interiors. The next year, he commissioned Wexler to design his new home in Thunderbird Heights. It is likely that Kassinger's company was the builder/contractor for the project too, but no concrete evidence was located to confirm this assertion. Kassinger later moved to Barbados, where he died in 2004.

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 195o. 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,Aos firm, set up Wexler & Harrison. In 1960, 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 2000 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.

Building, Structure, Object Information Continued:

One of the later houses built within Thunderbird Heights, the Kassinger Residence is associated with the Cityhood (1973 -Present) theme in Rancho Mirage. However, the dwelling is not individually significantly associated with the development of the Thunderbird North neighbrohood as home owners had been building within the community since the early 19505. The residence did not influence the design or direction of other homes built in the area during the 19805. Therefore, it does not possess individual documented significance in relation to the Cityhood (1973 -Present) 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 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 home 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 a representative example of a Desert Modernist style residence constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 198os designed by master architect Donald Wexler. However, the building was completed in 198o, 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. While the effects of the current renovation could not determined, there is no evidence to suggest that any replacement materials will not be in -kind.

Thus material and design integrity will likely be maintained. Overall, the exterior of the property will likely retain its integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. 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 2-3, 5-6, and 8. The property is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the residence is representative of a mid -20th century Desert Modernist style home in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of master architect Donald Wexler. 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 Si5 status code - Individual property that is listed or designated locally and the 3CS status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation.

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

William Francis Cody (1916-1978) was born in Dayton, Ohio, in 1916, Cody's family relocated to California in 1930. While attending Beverly Hills High School, Cody designed and built stages for school plays prior to his graduation in 1932. Following high school, he graduated from Santa Monica Junior College in 1939 and enrolled in the College of Architecture and Fine Arts at the University of Southern California. He graduated from USC in 1942. During his time at Santa Monica Junior College and USC, Cody worked for architects, Heath Wharton and Asa Hudson. Following his graduation, Cody worked for several engineering and architecture firms in California, including Cliff May whom he worked for in 1944. In 1945, Cody's firm was hired to alter the Desert Inn in Palm Springs.

Following the Desert Inn project, Cody began working independently in California and Arizona by 1946.

In 1946, William F. Cody moved to Palm Springs permanently and received his first independent commission to design the Del Marcos Hotel, which earned him an award in 1949 from the California chapter of the American Institute of Architects. In 1947, he was hired to convert the Thunderbird Dude Ranch, originally constructed in 1936, to the Thunderbird Country Club. His work at Thunderbird led to future commissions at other clubhouses, recreational facilities, and residential developments, at locations throughout Palm Desert, such as the Eldorado Country Club, Tamarisk Country Club, the Racquet Club, the Tennis Club, and the Seven Lakes Clubhouse. In Palm Springs, Cody was one of the architects, with Wexler & Harrison and Philip Koenig, to design the Spa Bathhouse and Spa Hotel. In 1952, Cody designed the Horizon Hotel.

In the Coachella Valley, he was responsible for several notable Modernist style residential designs including the Perlberg, Shamel, and Abernathy residences in Palm Springs. Throughout his career, he designed commercial and residential properties throughout California, Arizona, Texas, Cub, and Mexico. He was inducted into the College of Fellows of the AIA in 1965. Some of his final projects included St. Theresa's Catholic Church in 1968 and the Palm Springs Library Center in 1972. In 1973, he suffered a severe stroke which caused him to end his architectural career. He died in 1978 and today is considered one of the most important architects in the Desert Modernism movement.

Built after the establishment of the Tamarisk Country Club, the Rubinstein Residence is associated with the Country Club Era (1951- 1973) theme in Rancho Mirage. However, the dwelling is not individually significantly associated with the development of country clubs, as other clubs were already being built across Rancho Mirage at the time of construction. The property did not influence the design or direction of other houses built in the neighborhood during the early 19705. Therefore, it does not possess individual documented significance in relation to the Country Club Era (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 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 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 Shed style residence with Spanish Colonial Revival elements constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 197os designed by master architect William Cody. The current owners have lovingly restored the property following their purchase in 2020 and the overall historic integrity of the property is excellent. Overall, the property retains its integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. 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 2-3, 5-6, and 8. The property is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the residence is representative of a mid -loth century Shed style home in Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of master architect William Cody. 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 Si5 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 roof at the front elevation has a prominent exposed ridge beam and exposed purlin ends on either side. The roof overhang with exposed purlins connects to an outer wall that shields the primary entryway and creates a front carport. To the north of the front entrance, there is an attached garage. At the rear of the property, there is a rear patio covered by the wide overhang of the roof which has open eaves and is supported by square metal posts. The center wall leading to the patio has a large glass window wall with sliding doors. Two rear wings of the house extend out around the back patio and central pool creating a U -shape. The wings are covered with flat roofs, curved walls that are clad in stucco, and metal framed geometric, multi-lite windows. The ca. 1980 garage was previously located adjacent to the front entrance and was relocated to the north wing in 2016.

*B6. Construction History: The single family residence with a carport were completed in 1955 for Edgar G. Richards (Permit No. 04207). The swimming pool and guest house were completed the following year, 1956 (Permit No. 04248 & 11706). The next year, in 1957, Richards enlarged the living room (Permit No.17682) and added a porch to the home in 1958 (Permit No. 23384). In 1961, W.A. Leeb was issued a permit to enclose a patio (Permit No. 56074). In 1962, Red Skelton added a new sewage system (Permit No. 93801). In 1963, Red Skelton added a concrete block garden wall (Permit No. 94385/93910), an entrance gate with a fence (Permit No. 96367), a new sprinkler system (Permit No. 96405/96468), and was issued a permit to add two additions to the home (Permit No. 10163/85567). In 1965, Skelton added another addition and an additional block wall (Permit No.129084 & 129085).

Bio. Statement of Significance Continued From Page 2:

Edwin Wallace Neff was born in 1895 to Edwin Neff and Nannie McNally, daughter of printing mogul Andrew McNally of Rand - McNally Corp. When he was nine years old, the family moved to Europe, but later returned following the outbreak of World War I.

Once back in the United States, Neff grew up on "Millionaire's Row" in Altadena, California, where he earned an appreciation for intricate custom architectural designs. He first began to hone his architectural drafting skills while working under Ralph Adams Cram in Massachusetts. He later returned to live in Altadena and work as a shipyard draftsman in Wilmington.

One of his first projects was designing the St. Elizabeth of Hungary Roman Catholic Church in Altadena. Neff designed the building as a gift to the community and the church was officially dedicated in 1926. In most of his designs over the course of his career, Neff combined Spanish, Tuscan, Mediterranean, Islamic, and other design elements to form what he called the "California Style." His influential clientele included Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks. Today, Wallace Neff homes often continue to be desired by the Southern California elite.

Built after the establishment of the Tamarisk Country Club, the Red Skelton Residence is associated with the Country Club Era (1951-1973) theme in Rancho Mirage. However, the dwelling is not individually significantly associated with the development of country clubs and there is no evidence that the property influenced the design or direction of other houses built within the Tamarisk Country Club after its construction. Therefore, it does not possess individual documented significance in relation to the Country Club Era (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, Post and Beam.

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 individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the home is significantly associated with the life of Red Skelton, who lived at the house while he was working as an entertainer and painter. The property is also eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as a representative example of a Post and Beam style residence constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 19505. Additions and alterations on the exterior, have moderately impacted the material integrity of the building, but most character defining features remain intact. The ca. 1980 addition of the garage was partially mitigated in 2016 when the garage was relocated within the north wing of the building. On the exterior, property retains its integrity of location,design, setting, workmanship, feeling, and association. The property overall 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 2-3 and 6-8. The Red Skelton Residence is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Post and Beam style with sufficient integrity to convey is significance under this criterion. Due to cumulative changes to the residence overtime, the Red Skelton Residence is no longer considered a representative example of Wallace Neff's work as a master architect and the property is not eligible under Local Register Criterion 4. The property is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 5, as it is associated with the life and work of Red Skelton, a long-time local resident and significant national entertainer. The property appears to retain its integrity of location, design, setting, workmanship, feeling, and association. Overall, the dwelling maintains adequate integrity from the historic period to convey its significance. The property is assigned the 5Si statuscode -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.

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

Barry Berkus was an American modernist architect known for his contributions to mid-century modern architecture, particularly in Southern California. He was born in 1935 in Santa Barbara, California, and graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in architecture. He began his career as an intern with William Cody in Palm Springs and later founded his firm, B3 Architects. Throughout his career, Berkus designed numerous residential and commercial buildings. He designed more than 600,000 houses and helped write building codes and develop new towns in Japan. He died in 2012 at the age of77.

In 1963, developer Basil Collier decided to take advantage of California's recently passed Condominium Act and build a new housing community in Rancho Mirage. To that end, he hired architect Barry Berkus to imagine a resort community on one of the last large undeveloped parcels in the Magnesia Falls Cove neighborhood. Situated near Thunderbird and Tamarisk Country Clubs, the location was ideal for Collier wanting to market the property as a vacation getaway destination. Construction was completed in 1964 and the first units were sold in January 1965.

Berkus' layout for the terraced property was meant to create privacy and encourage community. Each unit was designed with floor - to -ceiling glass windows/doors for courtyard and side yard use. Every room was designed with at least two entry/exit points to create an open feel to the spaces. This space -saving layout had the effect of making the units feel much larger than their 915 -square -foot design would imply. The most distinctive features of the property were the A -framed "chalet" roofs covering each unit's courtyard and the diamond -patterned shadow block walls surrounding the exteriors. Each of the eight buildings contained 4 units with floor plans mirrored and flipped inside the building resulting in identical construction requirements. Using flat -roof construction without traditional attic space, drop ceilings in the centrally -located bathrooms were utilized to hide the HVAC mechanicals indoors. To balance the reduced headroom in these areas, Berkus added skylights and a sunken floor in the shower to keep these spaces as bright and airy as possible. The result is property that mirrors and refines many of the design elements and techniques that he utilized earlier in Palm Springs at the Park Imperial South, Merito Manor, and Park Imperial North developments. He continued to use some of these design elements in later other Southern California projects that he was designing while working on Chalet Palms, like Lake Park & Tanglewood in Orange County and Kingspark in Simi Valley.

The Chalet Palms condominiums were completed in 1964 and were designed to cater to vacationers and winter residents wanting a small community close to Tamarisk and Thunderbird Country Clubs. The community was an early attempt to capitalize on the growing recreation industry in Rancho Mirage. As such, Chalet Palms is significantly associated with the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973) theme in Rancho Mirage because it is a rare intact group of properties within the City of Rancho Mirage that illustrate how residential development was initially strongly tied to resort appeal and country clubs. The design of this community likely influenced the layout of future developments in the Coachella Valley, as single-family residences and condos continued to be built in the vicinity of golf courses with their own exclusive community resources. 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 district is individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is directly associated with a significant patterns of development within the City of Rancho Mirage. The district is not individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the district 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 community embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Post and Beam style condominium community constructed in Rancho Mirage during the 196os designed by master architect Barry Berkus. In 1964, Berkus designed the community using inspiration from previous communities he developed in Palm Springs. Chalet Palms represents an important step in his career and is an example of how his work developed over time. Current survey efforts showed that while some modifications are present at condos throughout the district, many are reversible additions or minor modifications that do not significantly impact the form and integrity of the district as a whole. It appears that no extensive exterior additions have been made to any of the condos on the property. The only alterations appears to be window/door replacements and interior remodels. Of the 32 total units, 8 have window and door replacements. Those 8 properties are identified as solely district contributors that are not individually eligible in their current condition. The other 24 units either have original windows and doors or in -kind aluminum framed replacements. The 24 units with aluminum framed windows and doors are both potential district contributors and are individually eligible properties under Criterion C/3.

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

Due to the lack of any significant additions that would prohibit a unit from contributory status, all 32 units are potential contributors to the proposed historic district (See Table 1). Overall, the exteriors remain intact and the original mid -20th century integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association are still clearly discernible. The community is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the district would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The potential historic district is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2 and 4-8. The condos are considered eligible under Local Register Criterion i as the group of properties are representative of a mid -20th century Post and Beam style residential community in Rancho Mirage. The district is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3 as it is representative of the development and economic growth of the City of Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of a master architect, Barry Berkus. Despite some minor material replacements, the district retains sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The modifications to individual district contributors, such as door/window replacements, 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 buildings maintain adequate integrity on the exterior from the historic period to convey their significance as a district. Therefore, the district is assigned the 553 status code - appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation; the 3C5 status code - appears eligible for CR individually through survey evaluation; and the 35 status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

The Tamarisk West I community consists of 22 total duplex condominiums, with each unit divided at the rear patio with perpendicular walls clad in stucco. A group of 5 buildings surrounds a western central pool and another group of 6 buildings surround the eastern central pool, forming a figure eight pattern with either group accessible via a center pathway. The Desert Modernist style homes are clad in uncoursed natural rock and medium -smooth patterned stucco that is painted with a muted shade of desert brown. The roofs are flat with thick cornice lines, enclosed eaves, and overhang depths that vary from wide to minimal based on the elevation.The fenestration of most units chiefly consists of fixed glass windows, clerestory windows, and aluminum - framed sliding glass doors. The front entrance porches for each unit have recessed entryways and solid wood doors. Each unit's central living room attached to the rear patio has a raised ceiling with fixed transom lites above sliding glass doors to admit additional light. The rear patio roofs have deep overhangs. Some rear patio roofs are cantilevered out over the doors with wide enclosed eaves and others are supported by square wood posts with suspended vertical stucco -clad sunshades for additional sun protection. Each unit either has an enclosed atrium or an open central courtyard along the elevation facing Tamarisk West Street.

The walls of these spaces facing the street are constructed with concrete breeze blocks and have patterns of open or closed squares in checkerboard patterns. The units with enclosed atriums are covered by raised flat, arched, or hipped roofs, of which most have skylights. Between the atrium roofs and the breeze block walls, there are fixed clerestory windows with various different patterns and configurations. Clerestory windows in atriums are divided by posts, projecting beams, and sections of stucco walls. The Tamarisk West I housing cluster is extensively landscaped with manicured lawns, clipped hedges, mature palm and citrus trees. The central pools are constructed below grade to provide uninterrupted views of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Interspersed between units there are wide rectangular carports with flat roofs and half height walls on three sides. The carports are shared by two units per structure. Some carports have been partially enclosed with front doors and others have been completed enclosed and converted into garages.
*D4. Boundary Description:

The 3.66 -acre Tamarisk West I Historic District (APN 674210067) is bounded by Tamarisk West Street to the north, east, and south; and Da Vali Drive to the west.
*D5. Boundary Justification:

The boundary for the Tamarisk West I Historic District was determined by the extent of the first phase for the planned community developed by Lee-Keiter Enterprises in 1965.

D6. Significance: Theme Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives, 1951-1973 Area: City of Rancho Mirage Period of Significance: 1965 -1977
Applicable Criteria: NRHP/CRHR Criteria A/1 and C/3; Local Criteria 1, 3 and 4 The Tamarisk West I community is a Desert Modernist style group of duplex condominiums that were constructed in 1964-1965 by Trenton J. Dunphy following designs developed by S. Charles Lee. According to aerial photographs, all additions to outdoor atriums for the original owners were complete by 1977. There is some evidence to suggest these additions were made by the original builders.

Therefore the period of significance for this district is 1965 to 1977. See Continuation Sheet for significance and integrity conclusions.

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

In the 195os and 1960s, Master Architect S. Charles Lee partnered with his son-in-law, George Keiter, to develop Federal Housing Administration (FHA) -funded residential communities across the country. By the early 19605, Lee's daughter and Keiter's wife, Connie, was an award -winning golfer. This motivated Keiter and Lee to develop Tamarisk West in 1964, immediately adjacent to the western end of Tamarisk Country Club off Da Vall Drive under their firm Lee-Keiter Enterprises.

Lee-Keiter hired Trenton J. Dunphy as the general contractor for the Tamarisk West project. Dunphy was the contractor for the Sandpiper condominiums in Palm Desert, designed by Master Architect William Krisel. Like Krisel's designs for the Sandpiper project, at Tamarisk West, Lee designed Post and Beam style homes with rock wall and stucco facades and decorative breeze block walls in muted desert shades light -pink and brown, exemplifying the Desert Modern subtype of the International architectural style.

The rear elevations featured floor -to -ceiling windows with patios shaded by an extended eave that overlooked a common -area pool with mountain views. The first group of homes at Tamarisk West, Tamarisk West I, were built at the southern end of the development in 1964 and officially opened in 1965.

The Tamarisk West I condominiums were completed as the first phase of the Tamarisk West community. Tamarisk West I was the first step in establishing the community development project which took place over the course of the coming decade. Lee-Keiter Enterprises experimented with their concepts when they completed these first 22 units. The Tamarisk West I community is significantly associated with the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973) theme in Rancho Mirage because it is a unique group of properties within the City of Rancho Mirage that illustrate themes common in many early residential Rancho Mirage projects, where early developers focused on emphasizing communal resources, ties to new golf clubs, and exclusivity. The design of this community likely influenced the layout of future developments in the Coachella Valley, as single-family residences and condos continued to be built in the vicinity of golf courses with their own exclusive community resources, such as pools, tennis courts, gyms, and clubhouses. 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.

Charles Lee. In 1964, Lee designed the community with stucco and rock wall facades, floor -to -ceiling glass windows/doorways at the rear elevation, desert colors, and expansive rear patios, which are all attributes clearly related to the Desert Modernist subtype of the International style.

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

Therefore, those 4 properties are identified as district contributors but are not individually eligible in their current condition. The other 18 units either have original windows/doors or in -kind aluminum framed replacements. Some of the units also have added atrium/courtyard enclosures, but these were early additions built during the identified period of significance. These 18 units are both potential district contributors and individually eligible properties under Criterion C/3. Of the 22 total units in Tamarisk West I within the district, all units still maintain sufficient integrity for contributory status. Therefore, all 22 units within the community qualify as potential contributors to this proposed historic district (See Table 1). Overall, the exteriors remain intact and the original mid -loth century integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association are still clearly discernible. The community is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the district would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The potential historic district is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2 and 5-8. The condominiums are considered eligible under Local Register Criterion i as the group of properties are representative of a mid -loth century Desert Modernist style residential building in Rancho Mirage. The district is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3 as it is representative of the development and economic growth of the City of Rancho Mirage. It is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 4, as it represents the work of a master architect, S. Charles Lee. Despite some minor material replacements, the district retains sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The modifications to individual district contributors, such as door/window replacements, 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 buildings maintain adequate integrity on the exterior from the historic period to convey their significance as a district. Therefore, the district 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 35 status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

The Tamarisk West II community consists of 12 total duplex condominiums, with each unit divided at the rear patio with perpendicular walls clad in uncourse natural stone. The group of 6 buildings surround a central pool, forming an oval shape. The Desert Modernist style homes are clad in uncoursed natural rock and medium -smooth patterned stucco that is painted with a muted shade of desert brown. The roofs are flat with thick cornice lines, enclosed eaves, and overhang depths that vary from wide to minimal based on the elevation. The fenestration of most units chiefly consists of fixed glass windows, clerestory windows, and aluminum -framed sliding glass doors. The front entrance porches for each unit have recessed entryways and solid wood doors.

Each unit's central living room attached to the rear patio has a raised ceiling with fixed transom lites above sliding glass doors to admit additional light. The rear patio roofs have deep overhangs. Some rear patio roofs are cantilevered out over the doors with wide enclosed eaves and others are supported by square wood posts with suspended vertical stucco -clad sunshades for additional sun protection. Each unit either has an enclosed atrium or an open central courtyard along the elevation facing Tamarisk West Street. The walls of these spaces facing the street are constructed with concrete breeze blocks and have patterns of open or closed squares in checkerboard patterns. The units with enclosed atriums are covered by raised flat roofs which often have skylights.

Between the atrium roofs and the breeze block walls, there are fixed clerestory windows with various different patterns and configurations with some divided by posts and others by thin metal mullions. The Tamarisk West II housing cluster is extensively landscaped with manicured lawns, clipped hedges, mature palm and citrus trees. The central pool is constructed below grade to provide uninterrupted views of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Each unit has an attached single -car garage with a flat roof. These garages are not shared between units.
*D4. Boundary Description:

The 1.89 -acre Tamarisk West II Historic District (APN 674210039) is bounded by Tamarisk West Street to the north, east, and south; and Da Vali Drive to the west. It is located North of Tamarisk West I (APN 674210067) and west of Tamarisk West III (APN 674210057). *D5. Boundary Justification:

The boundary for the Tamarisk West II Historic District was determined by the extent of the second phase for the planned community developed by Lee-Keiter Enterprises in 1969.

D6. Significance: Theme Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives, 1951-1973 Area: City of Rancho Mirage Period of Significance: 1969 -1977
Applicable Criteria: NRHP/CRHR Criteria A/1 and C/3; Local Criteria 1, 3 and 4 The Tamarisk West II community is a Desert Modernist style group of duplex condominiums that were constructed in 1969 by Trenton J. Dunphy following designs developed by S. Charles Lee and Michael Allan Black. According to aerial photographs, all additions to outdoor atriums for the original owners were complete by 1977. There is some evidence to suggest these additions were made by the original builders, Lee-Keiter Enterprises. Therefore the period of significance for this district is 1969 to 1977.

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

In the 195os and 19605, Master Architect S. Charles Lee partnered with his son-in-law, George Keiter, to develop Federal Housing Administration (FHA) -funded residential communities across the country. By the early 196os, Lee's daughter and Keiter's wife, Connie, was an award -winning golfer. This motivated Keiter and Lee to develop Tamarisk West in 1964, immediately adjacent to the western end of Tamarisk Country Club off Da Vail Drive under their firm Lee-Keiter Enterprises.

Keiter-Lee hired Trenton J. Dunphy as the general contractor for the Tamarisk West project. Dunphy was the contractor for the Sandpiper condominiums in Palm Desert, designed by Master Architect William Krisel. Like Krisel's designs for the Sandpiper project, at Tamarisk West, Lee designed Post and Beam style homes with rock wall and stucco facades and decorative breeze block walls in muted desert shades light -pink and brown, exemplifying the Desert Modern subtype of the International architectural style.

Lee-Keiter Enterprises commissioned architect Michael Allan Black to prepare designs for the second group of homes, Tamarisk West II. A 1961 graduate of the USC School of Architecture, Mr. Black established his architectural practice in 1968 after working for Master Architect E. Stewart Williams, whose portfolio included the Santa Fe Savings Bank and the Upper Mountain Station of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, as well as the Frank Sinatra House. For Tamarisk West II, Michael Allan Black mirrored many elements from Tamarisk West I with some important differences. The detached carports at Tamarisk West I were replaced with attached garages at Tamarisk West II and the perpendicular dividing walls between units were changed from stucco clad features to walls clad in uncoursed natural stone, By 1969, Tamarisk West II development was completed, though some of the original homeowners later contracted Lee-Keiter Enterprises to make changes to interior courtyards and atrium spaces through the mid -to -late 1970s. These owners largely wanted to convert their courtyards and atriums into fully indoor spaces with additional windows or more substantial roof coverings. The third and final phase of the project, Tamarisk West III, was completed in 1972.

The Tamarisk West II condominiums were completed five years after the first Tamarisk West community (Tamarisk West I) was constructed to the south, but it was part of the original cohesive vision for the planned community. Tamarisk West II shares many of the same aspects present in Tamarisk West I and illustrates how designs evolved after Lee-Keiter Enterprises implemented the first phase successfully. As a whole, the Tamarisk West II community is significantly associated with the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973) theme in Rancho Mirage because it is a unique group of properties within the City of Rancho Mirage that illustrate themes common in many early residential projects, where early developers focused on emphasizing communal resources, ties to new golf clubs, and exclusivity. The design of this community likely influenced the layout of future developments in the Coachella Valley, as single-family residences and condos continued to be built in the vicinity of golf courses with their own exclusive community resources, such as pools, tennis courts, gyms, and clubhouses. 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 district is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1, as it is directly associated with a significant patterns of development within the City of Rancho Mirage. The district is not eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, as the district is not significantly associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. While some local celebrities did reside within the Tamarisk West II community, their past ownership does not define the character of the homes or the neighborhood. The property is eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3 as the community embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Desert Modernist style condominium complex 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 community with stucco and rock wall facades, floor -to -ceiling glass windows/doorways at the rear elevation, desert colors, and expansive rear patios, which are all attributes clearly related to the Desert Modernist subtype of the International style.

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

Current survey efforts showed that while some modifications are present at condos throughout the district, many are reversible additions or minor modifications that do not significantly impact the form and integrity of the district as a whole. It also appears that many early additions and modifications to homes were likely implemented by Lee-Keiter Enterprises into the 1970s. A prominent component of the early marketing also emphasized customization based on homeowner needs and some limited anecdotal and/or documentary evidence suggests that homes in Tamarisk West II, namely 1207 and 1208 Tamarisk West Street, were modified by Lee-Keiter Enterprises for the original owners. Of the 12 total units within the district, 9 are individually eligible for designation. The units that are not potentially individually eligible, specifically 120z, 1209, and 1210 Tamarisk West Street, still maintain sufficient integrity for contributory status. Therefore, all 12 units within the community qualify as potential contributors to this proposed historic district (See Table 1). Overall, the exteriors remain intact and the original mid -20th century integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association are still clearly discernible. The community is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the district would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The potential historic district is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2 and 5-8. The condominiums are considered eligible under Local Register Criterion i as the group of properties are representative of a mid -20th century Desert Modernist style residential complex in Rancho Mirage. The district is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3 as it is representative of the development and economic growth of the City of 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 some minor material replacements, the district retains sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The modifications to individual district contributors, such as door/window replacements, 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 buildings maintain adequate integrity on the exterior from the historic period to convey their significance as a district. Therefore, the district 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 Tamarisk Ranchos II community consists of i6 total single-family residences that surround a central pool, forming an oval shape, that are bounded by Sunny Lane to the north, Los Pueblos Way to the south, Palm View Road to the east, and Pinto Palm Way to the west. The Contemporary style homes are clad in stucco that is painted with light colors depending on the residence ranging from white, pink, and light brown. The floor plans of the buildings are largely L-shaped and the roofs of all homes in the Tamarisk Ranchos II community are low-pitched hipped forms that are clad in rolled composition sheets. Some of the roofs have rock and pebble ballast. The fenestration of most houses chiefly consists of fixed glass windows and aluminum -framed sliding glass doors. The front entrances for each home face the street and are largely only covered by the eave overhang of the home and sometimes located behind concrete block walls that form a front courtyard. Some residences have decorative breeze block walls that cover window openings or top concrete masonry block walls. Each home has dropped ceiling soffits and interior chimneys.

Unlike the Tamarisk Ranchos I development to the south, the roofing elements are not exposed indoors to highlight the post and beam construction. The central living rooms are attached to rear patios via sliding glass doors that are mostly aluminum framed with some vinyl replacements. The patios are covered by wide wooden trellises supported by square wood posts. The Tamarisk Ranchos II housing cluster is extensively landscaped with manicured lawns, clipped hedges, and mature palm trees. The central pool is constructed in the center at grade with the homes. Each unit has an attached single -car garage with a hipped roof. *D4. Boundary Description:

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

After the opening of the Tamarisk Country Club, one of its initial founders, financier and Southern California developer Lou Halper, originated an idea for a nearby mini -resort exclusively for Tamarisk members who were looking for a more private and manageable alternative to a home on the country club's fairway. Halper originally planned for a 4o -lot subdivision with two groupings of communally designed homes. In 1956, Halper hired Master Architect William Krisel, whom he had worked with previously in Los Angeles, to design the first phase, composed of 16 Contemporary style homes around a communal pool and gardens that retained and integrated existing date palm trees on the site. The initial group of homes, Tamarisk Ranchos I, was built in 1958 by the Devon Construction Company, owned by Lou Halper. Bound by Pinto Palms Way, Los Pueblos Way, Palm View Road, and Tamarisk Lane.

Each home was designed by Krisel to include a spacious floor plan, approximately 2,000 square feet, with post -and -beam construction, large rear terraces, floor -to -ceiling glass windows, post -and -beam construction, open ceilings, and open-plan living areas..

Apart from Halper, the initial owner -residents included City National Bank founder Al Hart, scriptwriter Harry Tugend, actor Groucho Marx, radio and television producer John Guedel, film producer Lawrence Weingarten, Elizabeth Taylor's agent Jules Goldstone, Abbott & Costello producer Alex Gottlieb, and Los Angeles radio station owner Harry Maizlish. In 1958, Halper sold the property to the High Dale Company. Under High Dale's ownership, the second group of 16 homes, Tamarisk Ranchos II, was constructed in 1961 immediately north and adjacent to the first phase. The High Dale Company generally followed the plans produced by Krisel and the Devon Construction Company, but changed the inward orientation of the buildings and made all roofing forms low-pitched hipped roofs.

William Krisel was born in 1924 in Shanghai with his 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 30,000 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, the "Valley of the Sun" homes 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 Tamarisk Ranchos II single-family residences were completed three years after the first Tamarisk Ranchos community was constructed to the south, but it was part of the original cohesive vision for the planned community envisioned by Lou Halper.

Tamarisk Ranchos II shares many of the same aspects present in Tamarisk Ranchos I and illustrates how designs evolved after Halper sold the property to the High Dale Company. As a whole, the Tamarisk Ranchos II community is significantly associated with the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973) theme in Rancho Mirage because it is a unique group of properties within the City of Rancho Mirage that illustrate themes that defined the some of the most notable early residential projects, where local early developers focused on emphasizing communal resources, ties to new golf clubs, and exclusivity. The design of this community likely influenced the layout of future developments in the Coachella Valley, as single-family residences and condos continued to be built in the vicinity of golf courses with their own exclusive community resources, such as pools, tennis courts, gyms, and clubhouses. 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.

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

Current survey efforts showed that while some modifications are present at homes throughout the district, many are reversible additions or minor modifications that do not significantly impact the form and integrity of the district as a whole. Of the 16 total residences within the district, 7 are already individually listed in the Local Register; 3 more homes appear to be eligible as both individual historic properties and potential district contributors; and 6 properties only retain sufficient integrity for contributory status.

Therefore, all 16 units within the community qualify as potential contributors to this proposed historic district (See Table 1). Overall, the exteriors remain intact and the original mid -20th century integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association are still clearly discernible. The community is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the district would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The potential historic district is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2 and 4-8. The homes are considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the group of properties are representative of a mid -20th century Contemporary style residential community in Rancho Mirage. The district is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3 as it is representative of the development and economic growth of the City of Rancho Mirage. Despite some minor material replacements, the district retains sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The modifications to individual district contributors, such as door/window replacements, 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 buildings maintain adequate integrity on the exterior from the historic period to convey their significance as a district. Therefore, the district 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.

*D3. Detailed Description:

The Tamarisk Gardens community consists of 28 total condominiums over 7 separate buildings, with each building consisting of four units arranged in a cross shape. The group of 7 buildings form a number '9' shape and surround a central pool on two sides. The Desert Modernist style units are clad sand patterned stucco that is painted with a muted shade of desert brown. The roofs are flat with thick cornice lines, enclosed eaves, and overhang depths that vary from moderate to no overhang based on the elevation. The fenestration of most units chiefly consists of long and narrow fixed glass windows and aluminum -framed sliding sash windows, and aluminum framed sliding glass doors. Some units have replacement vinyl sliding sash windows and some limited vinyl double -hung units. The front entrance porches for each unit have recessed entryways and solid wood doors set beneath flat porch roofs with a wide enclosed eaves and thick cornice lines. The original porch flooring is a grid of square white tiles with a line of black tile meeting the concrete pathway that connects all units. Some condos have replaced the tile with slate, marble, saltillo tile, and other materials. The condos have central living rooms with a raised ceilings that are attached to rear patios by sliding glass doors. The rear patios are open and surrounded by stucco clad concrete masonry unit walls. All units also have separate smaller inner garden courts that are partially covered by overhanging eaves and accessed via sliding glass doors and a rear metal gates. The Tamarisk Gardens housing community is extensively landscaped with manicured lawns, clipped hedges, and centered trees planted at intersections of the concrete pathway between all units. The central pool is rectangular in shape and it is sited north of a free standing metal trellis structure consisting of three curved roofs clad in corrugated metal sheets. South of the trellis is a flat roofed square bathroom and utility building. The complex has outdoor parking around the 7 buildings with the lots covered by curved roof carport structures clad in metal sheets.

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

Richard McCarthy Jr., primarily known as a developer of luxury homes in Pasadena, commissioned Huntington Beach -based architect J. Donald "Don" Hartfelder in 1964 to construct a compact resort -style community of 7 buildings for 28 condominiums sited between the Wonder Palms Hotel and the Tamarisk Country Club on the north side of what was then Wonder Palms Road. A graduate of the USC School of Architecture, Hartfelder primarily practiced in Los Angeles and Orange Counties and although he specialized in medical buildings, his time at USC and works throughout Southern California informed his modernist aesthetic, including his design of the Tamarisk Gardens.

Completed in 1965, Tamarisk Gardens feature a central pool, interior courtyards, planned gardens, and an entertainment porch. The condos were built as two -bedroom, two bath, 1,800 square -foot units with marble fireplaces and open-plan living rooms. At the exterior, the condos feature flat roofs, floor -to -ceiling windows, low elevations, and simple lines, with stucco -clad walls. As such, the homes blend with the surrounding landscaping, using muted colors on the exterior, apart from colorful recessed front doors, illustrating elements of Desert Modernism. Like the cooperative living complex to the north, Dal Vaal Estates, residents at the Tamarisk Gardens were offered hotel and maid services from the Wonder Palms Hotel and Guest Ranch.

The Tamarisk Gardens condominiums were completed in 1965 and were designed to cater to residents wanting both hotel resort perks and country club access. With turn -down services offered by the Wonder Palms Hotel and Guest Ranch staff and easy access to the Tamarisk Country Club next door, Tamarisk Gardens was a unique attempt to capitalize on the growing recreation industry in Rancho Mirage. As such, the Tamarisk Gardens community is significantly associated with the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives (1951-1973) theme in Rancho Mirage because it is a rare intact group of properties within the City of Rancho Mirage that illustrate how residential development was initially strongly tied to the perks of resorts and country clubs. The design of this community likely influenced the layout of future developments in the Coachella Valley, as single-family residences and condos continued to be built in the vicinity of golf courses with their own exclusive community resources and advantages. 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.

D6. Significance Statement Continued:

The 22 units with aluminum framed windows and original doors are both potential district contributors and are individually eligible properties under Criterion C/3. Due to the lack of any significant additions that would prohibit a unit from contributory status, all 28 units are potential contributors to the proposed historic district (See Table 1). Overall, the exteriors remain intact and the original mid -20th century integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association are still clearly discernible.

The community is not individually eligible under Criterion D/4, as further study of the district would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional, state or national history.

The potential historic district is not considered eligible under Local Criteria 2 and 4-8. The condos are considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 1 as the group of properties are representative of a mid -20th century Desert Modernist style residential community in Rancho Mirage. The district is considered eligible under Local Register Criterion 3 as it is representative of the development and economic growth of the City of Rancho Mirage. Despite some minor material replacements, the district retains sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The modifications to individual district contributors, such as door/window replacements and patio floors, 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 buildings maintain adequate integrity on the exterior from the historic period to convey their significance as a district. Therefore, the district 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 35 status code - appears eligible for NR individually through survey evaluation.

She regularly consults for private and agency applicants on historical resource and historic property analysis for discretionary projects and undertakings pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the California Environmental Quality Act, as well as Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit proposals at National Register listed or eligible properties, which are subject to review by the State Office of Historic Preservation and the National Park Service. She was the author / facilitator and lead historic preservation consultant for the City of Chula Vista's award -winning Municipal Preservation Planning Program. She authored the Historic Preservation Element for the City of La Mesa's award winning 2011 / 2030 General Plan update process. She provides survey, architectural history, context development, programmatic agreement, and historic preservation planning consulting services for the Southern California Edison Company including preparation of a programmatic guide for the treatment of all historic -era properties in the company's 55,000 square mile service territory. She served as the lead Architectural Historian for the City and County of Honolulu High Capacity Transit Corridor Project's Kako'o (Section ao6 Programmatic Agreement Program manager) consultant team. Wendy's professional analysis and determinations are reviewed for compliance and concurrence by numerous municipalities, and state and federal agencies including the California State Office of Historic Preservation, the California Public Utilities Commission, the USDA Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service.

Her current interests include facilitating approvals for brick -and -mortar construction and building rehabilitation projects, and working with community -based organizations that emphasize public participation while striving forthe improvement of the built environment through good urban and architectural design and associated social programs.

Douglas E. Kupel, Ph.D., RPA
Senior Historian & Archaeologist
[email protected]
Senior Historian and Archaeologist, Douglas Kupel, holds a Ph.D. in History from Arizona State University, a graduate certificate in Archaeology from the University of South Carolina, master's degrees from the University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University, and a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Oregon. Doug is a cultural resources expert with a diverse background in sustainable water resources, environmental planning, and historic preservation. He meets The Secretary of the Interior's Historic Preservation Professional Qualifications Standards in the disciplines of History, Architectural History, and Historical Archaeology. He brings extensive experience in preparing National Register Nominations and completing cultural resource surveys and inventories for properties in California, Nevada, and Arizona. He maintains exceptional leadership and project management skills having served as the Deputy Water Services Director and Environmental Program Manager for the City of Glendale, Arizona. In these positions Doug supervised several divisions and managed nine divisional budgets. He additionally worked for the City of Phoenix as a Water Advisor and Natural Resources Historian.

Doug began his career working as an archaeological and historic sites consultant in California and Arizona, and later served as a Historian for the Arizona State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and the Cities of Phoenix and Glendale, Arizona. As the former National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Coordinator for the Arizona SHPO, Doug processed many large and complex historic district nominations early in his career. He has continued his association with the NRHP program by serving on Arizona's Historic Sites Review Committee. Doug has authored 37 NRHP nominations including the Multiple Property Format NRHP Nomination for the Period of Conflict Between Native Americans and the U.S. Military in Arizona, 1846-1886, and the NRHP Nomination of the Fort Tuthill Historic District, Flagstaff, Arizona. Dr. Kupel is a court -recognized expert on water rights and has conducted substantive research and analysis on statewide water management and policy. For the City of Phoenix Law Department, he organized and directed research for litigation and water resources planning in the Arizona General Stream adjudication. He has served as expert witness for Native American and municipal water history topics. Dr. Kupel has worked on a number of significant Native American water rights settlements during his career at Phoenix and Glendale. These include the White Mountain Apache Tribe (WMAT) Water Rights Settlement, Verde River Yavapai — Apache Settlement, Gila River Indian Community Water Rights Settlement, Fort McDowell Indian Community Water Rights Settlement, and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Water Rights Settlement.

He has more than 3o years of experience in water civil engineering projects, including authoring historical narratives, manuscripts, and eligibility evaluations for the Bureau of Reclamation Salt River Project, and the Central Arizona Project. His experience provides understanding not only to historic properties and cultural resources, but also to larger management concerns and the federal regulatory process. His management of large publicly owned utilities speaks directly to his ability to supervise and organize large-scale projects in a complex regulatory environment. Dr. Kupel led a research and planning group as Deputy Director of a water utility and has wide experience with a variety of water resources, planning, safety, and emergency management programs. Dr. Kupel has served as a liaison on water planning and policy issues between municipal utilities and a wide range of local, state, and Federal agencies. His knowledge of imported water contracts, water supply planning efforts, and financial and economic analysis related to natural resources highlights his ability to integrate cultural resources planning within larger planning efforts. wwwlyriarreprrioreerlion.evai

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:

The Sackley-Spare Residence was designed in a powerful Late Modern style by Palm Springs architect Stan Alan Sackley, commissioned in 1973, it was completed in August 1974. It was a custom 'spec' home, for the owner of Lot 107: Alexander T. Spare, a retired Chicago attorney. Spare owned another home at Tamarisk Country Club, remodelled in the early 1960s by Sackley. The Sackley-Spare Residence at 70641 Tamarisk Lane was one of the later homes to be built along Tamarisk Lane (then called Avenue 37), with Lot 107 changing hands several times before it was finally developed. Sackley's re -design of Spare's Tamarisk Country Club home at 70906 La Paz Road gained local recognition when the cover of Palm Springs Life magazine in July 1965 featured Sackley's wife Carole floating in the pool of the Spare home on La Paz Road, with a caption that described Sackley as the designer of Spare's first Tamarisk home.

By 1974, Stan Sackley had made a name for himself as a custom home designer in Palm Springs. Following his graduation from the USC School of Architecture in 1961, Sackley formed a partnership with Los Angeles architect Herman C. Light, FAIA1, who taught at USC from 1959-1960 and was the project architect for Neutra's renowned Hall of Records building in Los Angeles (1962). The senior architect greatly helped Sackley in his early career. As Sackley & Light, they designed commercial projects in Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Within a short time, Sackley was happy to promote himself as a designer of custom homes and set up his own practice, Stan Sackley & Associates, while he continued his association with Herman C. Light at least through 1967. A 1966 Playboy magazine article about the James Hollowell Residence in Palm Springs, designed by Sackley, enhanced Sackley's reputation.

After Sackley designed this house on Tamarisk Lane, he designed homes in a similar style in Palm Springs, notably several on Caliente Drive in the Indian Canyons district. They featured Sackley's hallmark design elements, a floating central roof line, decorative details at entry, such as horizontal bands of pink granite, skylights punctuating the eaves around the house, high ceilings, mitred corners of glass in living areas, and more. Today, Stan Sackley is recognized as a significant modernist architect, in the same vein as his contemporaries Hugh Kaptur and Donald Wexler. His homes are highly sought-after by design aficionados and are frequently featured on Modernism Week tours. Sackley deserves his place in the pantheon of noted desert modernist designers; accordingly, he is listed in the 2025 publication: "The Palm Springs School — Desert Modernism 1934 —1975," as well as the City of Palm Springs Architectural Resources Survey (2016).

The Sackley-Spare house was developed in partnership with local real estate agent, Stanley Goodfriend. At the time, Goodfriend had been in the desert for only a couple of years, after a long career in real estate in the Chicago area. The 'Notice of Completion' for the home names Sackley and Goodfriend as the 'GS Partnership.' Of the subsequent owners, the most significant was Samuel Oschin, a Los Angeles entrepreneur and philanthropist whose name 1 https://aiahistoricaldirectory.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHDAA/ 8361/2201419789/LightHermanC.pdf
aages/36948361/a hd 1026622?preview=/3694
1178

graces the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center at Los Angeles' California Science Center which, when completed in 2025/26 will be the permanent home of the Endeavor Space Shuttle. Thereafter, Herbert and Gloria Cook owned the house for 30 years, until 2014.

People familiar with the house from the early days, including Stanley Goodfriend Jr. and local realtor Cass Graff -Radford confirm that the property has not been altered. 1179

BACKGROUND — HISTORIC CONTEXT:

When Thunderbird and Tamarisk Country Clubs opened in the early 1950s, the concept of building homes alongside fairways was launched. The success of these two clubs quickly transformed greater Palm Springs into the 'Winter Golf Capital of the World,' attracting celebrities and captains of industry, who built custom homes at both clubs.

The 2003 City of Rancho Mirage Historic Resources Survey states:
"Tamarisk Country Club opened on the former Harry Taylor ranch, purchased from San Francisco real estate and theater magnate Joseph Blumenfeld in 1952. Incorporated in 1951 by a group of 65 investors, including Hollywood notables Jack Benny, George Burns, Danny Kaye, Sol Lessor, and the Marx Brothers, Tamarisk attracted many members from the Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. It also offered home sites along the fairways as a means of financing club improvements. The club opened in 1952, with a golf course designed by William Bell and renowned golfer Ben Hogan as the golf pro. With these beginnings, Rancho Mirage became the leader in the development of the Coachella Valley as the "golf capital of the world. " Attracting attention initially because of their well-heeled membership from the corporate and entertainment spheres, Thunderbird and Tamarisk focused the limelight by hosting tournaments such as the Women's Invitational, the Ryder Cup, and the first Bob Hope Classic."
While homebuilding at Thunderbird took off quickly, things moved at a slower pace at Tamarisk Country Club. Lots that were purchased by early members - as a benefit of membership and to help fund the building of the golf course- often changed hands for several years until an owner felt the time was right to build, as was the case with Lot 107.

The aerial views of Tamarisk Country Club shown on the next page, from 1964, show that 12 years after the club had opened, only 9 homes had been built along Avenue 37 / Tamarisk Lane. By 1983, shown in the second aerial image, this number had grown significantly, reflecting the 1970s era building boom and the city's growth following the incorporation of the City of Rancho Mirage in 1973.

From the 2003 City of Rancho Mirage survey:
"The construction of the country clubs and the associated residences coincided with another development that had profound implications for the character of the Rancho Mirage built environment.• the evolution of a "Desert Modern" style of architecture. The Desert Modern style was in many ways a domestication and refinement of the avant garde International Style of the 1920s and 1930s, and grew out of local architects' desire to adapt modern materials, techniques, and floor plans to the unique requirements of desert living. Characteristics include large expanses offloor-to-ceiling glass sheltered by deep overhangs extending from flat roofs and flowing interior floor plans that merged imperceptibly with the outdoors. Oriented to the rear, Desert Modern houses in Rancho Mirage embrace desert, swimming pool, and golf course views and outdoor access while front elevations are often shielded for privacy, with only clerestories and obscured glass panels adjacent to the entries providing light. Desert Modern houses appear light, with roofs floating above the glass walls and clerestories, and ceilings supported by thin steel or wood posts. In addition to glass, exterior materials include stucco, wood, slumpstone, and natural rock."

The 1983 aerial view of the club shown here, illustrates how many homes were built in the period between 1964 and 1983 at Tamarisk Country Club. Lot 107 is now built, the fifth house from the (left) corner of Palm View and Tamarisk Lane. (Image: USGS, via Frame Finder/ UCSB). 7 1181

Using the 2003 City of Rancho Mirage Historic Resources Survey as reference, the Sackley- Spare Residence, Lot 107 purchased by Alexander Spare, for a house designed by Sackley in 1973 and completed in 1974, falls right on the cusp of the 'Country Club Era: 1951-1973' and 'Cityhood: 1973 — Present'. Its design is true to the ethos of the 'Country Club era,' with its private street elevation, and its dynamic and dramatic golf -course -facing rear elevation.

Late Modern homes used the same ideas as earlier modernist homes with many of the same materials, but with greater structural massing, increased volumes, expanded horizontal and vertical lines.

From the 2003 City of Rancho Mirage survey: '3.5 Cityhood: 1973 to Present':
"When the neighboring communities of Cathedral City and Palm Desert began to show interest in expanding their spheres of influence to encompass the new medical center, a movement to incorporate Rancho Mirage as a city was initiated. An election was held in which 85 percent of the voters favored incorporation, and on August 3, 1973, Rancho Mirage became the sixteenth city in Riverside County.

The mid -1970s witnessed a building boom, with 5,000 dwelling units reported in progress in 1974. Several municipal improvements were undertaken, including the construction of Fire Station #1 on Highway 111 in 1976, the opening of Whitewater Park in 1981, and the creation of the Bighorn Sheep Preserve in the hills. The development of country clubs, initiated with Thunderbird and Tamarisk, continued unabated, with the groundbreaking for the Sunrise and Rancho Las Palmas clubs. Commercial growth accelerated along Highway
This section of the 2003 survey concludes:
"Because resources constructed during this period are substantially less than forty-five to fifty years old, the usually accepted threshold for historic resources, and are not examples of the mid-century modern style that characterized Rancho Mirage during the Country Club era, evaluation of their historic significance in most cases will await fifrther passage of time."
Recently submitted updates to the City of Rancho Mirage Historic Resources Survey will explain how this period of architecture and city development evolved. With the passage of time, the 50 -year mark for 1970s homes has been reached, and the consideration of significant architecture from this era is now even more relevant. For a further summary of evaluating Late Modern historical resources, the national 20th Century historic preservation organization Docomomo provides a useful reference, based on the SurveyLA historic research survey.2

OWNERS - (Lot 107, and house)

1. Ernie Alschuler, lot owner: 1956 —1961
Lot 107 of Wonder Estates, where this home was built in 1974, was originally owned by Tamarisk Country Club member Ernie Alschuler. Alschuler was a Chicago businessman whose company, Sentinel, manufactured radios in the 1930s and 40s, then televisions in the post-war era. He owned a home in Palm Springs. He and his wife were described in the Desert Sun as 'tireless civic workers'; he was on the board of directors for the first iteration of the Palm Springs Hospital in the late 1940s, then for the Palm Springs Museum. By the early 1960s, they had built themselves a 'palatial new home on Via Lola' (425 Via Lola) in Palm Springs, according to the Desert Sun (see Appendix 3), which eventually became the Sidney Sheldon Estate. Their final Palm Springs home was at Seven Lakes Country Club. Lot 107 at Tamarisk Country Club was left unbuilt, sold to Doris Hoffman in 1961.

2. Doris Hoffman: 1961— 1969
Hoffman was a Tamarisk Country Club member and successful amateur golfer.

3. Stanley Goodfriend: 1969-1972
Grant deeds for the property show that Chicago -based real estate developer Stanley Goodfriend and his wife Jeanne purchased the lot in 1969. They sold Lot 107 of Wonder Estates to Harriette Allen Sellwood in 1972.

4. Harriette Allen Sellwood: 1972-1973
Her husband, Richard Sellwood, was an attorney and an officer of First National Bank, who died in 1970. When Richard Sellwood died, his address was listed as 40286 Tonopah Road (Thunderbird Heights). Apparently, Stanley Goodfriend later purchased this home from Harriette Sellwood, as Goodfriend's address from 1972 until he died in 1975 was one and the same. (See Appendix 3). She sold Lot 107 to Alexander T. Spare in January 1973.

5. Alexander T. Spare: 1973 - first owner to commission a home for Lot 107 According to a vintage map of Tamarisk Country Club owners 'as of 1973,' published in Palm Springs Life in December 1973 (see below and see Appendix 1), and also according to the deed of ownership (Appendix 2), the next owner was Alexander (Alex) T. Spare. Alex Spare already owned a home at Tamarisk Country Club (Lots 41 & 42), at 70906 La Paz Road. 1183

1973 map of Tamarisk Country Club homeowners, reproduced in Palm Springs Life in December 1973 Alex Spare's ownership of Lot 107 (top left) and lots for his home on La Paz Road are highlighted.

A'leading Chicago attorney' according to the Desert Sun in 1966, Alexander T. Spare was also the 'registered agent' for numerous Chicago companies, based on the 1963 certified list of domestic and foreign companies3, with most of the companies registered to his office address at 33 N. LaSalle in Chicago. Businesses were as diverse as Johnson Kiddie Rides and the Lake Tower Motel Corporation (which he still owned at the time of his death)4, coffee companies, the Long Realty Co., Mark Realty & Investment Co., Midland Building Corp., National Design Center, Quality House Inc., a company in his wife's name: R. H. S. Corp., and Spare Realty Inc. Clearly his main preoccupation was with commercial property.

Alex and Rita Spare started coming to the desert in the early 1960s. By 1961 they owned a house at 70906 La Paz Road, at Tamarisk Country Club, mentioned in the 1966 Desert Sun announcement of their daughter's engagement (See Appendix 3). The house appears to have been pre-existing, according to permits, built in 1958 by Marval Construction / Robert Marx, son of Gummo Marx, who also built the house next door. A building permit for a den and a bathroom addition were to be added by owner 'Spare,' completed in October 1964.

The home's pool was featured on the cover of Palm Springs Life in July 1965 and Sackley and Light were named as the home's designers in the caption. (That magazine cover is now also 3 Certified List of Domestic and Foreign Corporations for the year 1963:

featured on a Palm Springs Life mug). Sackley's work on the house appears to be a remodel with additions, according to permits (see Appendix 1).

In December 1973, Alex Spare died suddenly after a short illness. He was 69. However, his name is listed as co -title holder on the 'Notice of Completion' document for the new house at 70641 Tamarisk Lane, signed by Stan Sackley in August 1974 (See Appendix 2). Spare knew Sackley, as demonstrated by Spare's commissioning Sackley for his other Tamarisk home, in 1964. Sackley was designing speculative and custom homes during this era of the early 1970s; it is likely that Spare saw the new Tamarisk property as a good investment.

Stanley Goodfriend, realtor, is also named on the 'Notice of Completion' for the property.

The August 1974 Notice of Completion lists the owners as the G. S. Partnership — also as S.G.S. Partnership (on the same document): Goodfriend and Sackley = Stanley and Stanley Goodfriend and Sackley. Although Stanley Goodfriend lived in the desert full time for only two years before he died, he had been a member at Tamarisk Country Club since the mid 1960s. He and his wife had initially purchased Lot 107 in 1969, before selling it in 1972.

Goodfriend and his wife Jeanne eventually moved to the desert full-time in 1972 from Chicago, choosing their desert home on Tonopah Road in Thunderbird Heights (previously owned by the Sellwoods, subsequent owners of Lot 107). It is likely that they already knew Alex Spare through their real estate connections in that city. Goodfriend was subsequently involved in the sale of several large homes in Rancho Mirage, both at Tamarisk and Thunderbird Country Clubs. According to his son, Stanley Goodfriend Jr., in an email exchange with this document's author, from May 2025:
"My father was an attorney and he received his degree from the prestigious U. of Chicago Law School. He did not practice law very much but was the right-hand man and VP of Arthur Rubloff, a big time commercial real estate developer and owner of Arthur Rubloff & Co., which was the 2nd largest real estate firm in the country in the '60s and early '70s. My father was instrumental in the development of a number of large apartment and commercial projects in Chicago, most notably Carl Sandburg Village, a 10,000 -unit apartment development that opened in the early -mid '60s and became condos in early '80s.

I bring this to your attention as my recollection is that the development of the property (at 70641 Tamarisk Lane) was driven by my father due to his aforementioned expertise and connections through Tamarisk, which had a large Chicago membership. He and Stan Sackley were good friends and it was very much a joint project. My father put together the investors and determined the feasibility of the project as well as its development finance and construction. I remember this very clearly, so I'd like him to get some credit for being the driving force behind it...I was in graduate school at UCR and finished my degree in late '75, two months after he passed away. He spoke about the project often. He was much more sophisticated than the run of the mill residential realtor. I say this with my own career knowledge as an owner of a successful commercial and residential mortgage firm.

Hope this helps. So much fun seeing this house as it was cutting edge at the time." Indeed, most owners of the lot were from Chicago: from the Alschulers to Doris and Sol Hoffman, to the Goodfriends and Alex Spare. Goodfriend died in September 1975, at the age of 63. According to his obituary, he had lived in the desert since 1972. The 'G.S.

Partnership' was listed on the 'Notice of Completion' as owner, but the deed listed Alex Spare as owner; he was presumably the finance behind the home's development. Alex Spare's wife was executor of his will and was responsible for the subsequent sale of the home. (See Deeds, Appendix 2)
The house appears to have gone on to the open market following Alex Spare's death. In March 1974, the Desert Sun advertised a house offered for sale by Stanley Goodfriend. It matches the location and description, as well as its status as 'just being completed.' 12 1186

In June 1974, Rita Spare, Alex Spare's widow, sold the property to Solomon R. and Rebecca D. Baker, just one month before the house was actually completed. (See Appendix 2, Deeds)

6. Solomon R. Baker and Rebecca D. Baker: 1974 —1983
He was a successful Los Angeles industrialist, owner of Baker Industries. As major philanthropists, their foundation donated substantial sums to Cedars Sinai Hospital and Jewish organizations. According to the grant deed signed on July 1974, (See Appendix 2), Mr. and Mrs. Solomon R. Baker paid the sum of $237,500 to Spare's widow, Rita Spare, for the house purchase.

7. Samuel Oschin: 1983-1992
Oschin was a Los Angeles -based entrepreneur, real estate developer, banker, philanthropist and world traveller. Among his many interests were medicine, the arts, astronomy and several Jewish charities. The 48 -inch Schmidt telescope at the Palomar Observatory is named for him, as is the planetarium at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. The Space Shuttle 'Endeavor' will be based at the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center upon its completion (2026) ( https://californiasciencecenter.org/about-us/samuel-oschin-air-and- space-center). The Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars -Sinai also bears his name. 5

8. Herbert & Gloria Cook: 1992 — 2019
Originally from Denver, Colorado, where they owned one of the state's largest sporting goods chains, Cook Sporting Goods, Herbert Cook became good friends with Gerald Ford, 5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel Oschin, and

often playing golf with the former President. By the late 80s, he left the sporting goods business to start a real estate investment firm. His wife was also an avid golfer, she died in 2014. According to his 2018 obituary in the Denver Post, "Off the fairway, one of his great joys was spending time with his friends and family at his home in Cherry Creek and the Tamarisk Country Club in Palm Springs."6

ARCHITECT: STAN SACKLEY (1937 — 2001)
STAN
Born in Los Angeles in 1938, the son of Robert and Rose Sackley who moved from New York to California before he was born. Not much is known about Sackley's early life, however he appears in the Palm Springs High School student alumnus 1988 reunion book, so he may have spent some of his youth in Palm Springs. His father owned a manufacturing company and there seems to have been family wealth in Sackley's background. Records show that he graduated from USC School of Architecture in 1961.' By 1964, he appears in the Palm Springs telephone directory, married to Carole, and living on Sybil Road in Palm Springs. One of his first jobs — a remodel for a Tamarisk Country Club homeowner, Alex Spare, appears to have been undertaken in 1964. The first record of a custom home designed by Sackley is for the 1965 John Simon Residence at 601 Avenida Granada8, at the Canyon Country Club in Palm Springs, the original drawings for that home give Stan Sackley the lead credit and name him as the draftsman on behalf of 'Sackley & Light'. This was one of several homes that he designed in this neighborhood; the home was included in the Signature Home Tour during Modernism Week 2024.

A 1965 Desert Sun article shows Stan Sackley 'looking over plans' for an office building in Indio, as architect with 'Sackley & Light'. Sackley received high -profile media coverage in Playboy magazine when the Palm Springs home he designed for his attorney friend, James Hollowell, was featured as a 'Playboy Pad' in the April 1966 issued of the magazine. (See Appendix 3). Sackley also completed his own home, right opposite Hollowell's, at 1300 Sagebrush, in 1966. Both homes are post and beam construction and considered to be fine examples of Sackley's modernist designs. By 1967, Hollowell had purchased a lot on North Palm Canyon and commissioned Sackley & Light to design the office building at 655 N. Palm Canyon, completed in 1970.

While he was affiliated with Herman C. Light, Sackley felt sufficiently confident about his abilities as a home designer, helped by the article in Playboy Magazine in April, to put an ad in the Desert Sun in June 1966 promoting himself as a designer of custom homes. (See below).

Desert Sun ad, 17th June 1966
As previously noted, Stan Sackley's early career was given a boost by his partnership with his USC professor, mentor, and Fellow of the AIA, Herman Charles Light. Following Sackley's graduation from the USC School of Architecture, the two partnered as `Sackley & Light.' 16 1190

Sackley never registered with the AIA, but as a partner with Herman Light, Sackley was able to bid for projects that required AIA affiliation. This was particularly important for earlier, commercial or city projects such as the office building in Indio (1965) and the US Social Security Building on Tahquitz-McCallum Way, which made the front page of the Desert Sun in February 1968 and featured Sackley in the line-up.

By the early 1970s, Stan Sackley's career as a custom home designer in the Palm Springs area was well established. He increased his public profile by becoming a director for the city's annual Desert Circus. His best-known homes are from the 1970s, many on lots that he purchased on Caliente Drive in the Indian Canyons area of Palm Springs. These are now sought-after examples of 'late modern' design and often featured on Modernism Week tours. Sackley's work in the desert appears to have continued until 1985. Local records show that Sackley subsequently moved to Beverly Hills. A Los Angeles Times article from 1986 quotes Sackley as a 'retired architect.' He amassed an important collection of classic cars, later sold at auction through Christie's after Sackley passed away.

More recent research has revealed that Sackley returned to work on desert area projects shortly before he died. Two press cuttings from the Desert Sun, from July and December 2000 (see Appendix 3) record that Sackley & Associates had been retained to design a new development in Andreas Hills, and even include a captioned photograph of Sackley at the development site. One of these later articles describes Sackley as having worked with Oscar Niemeyer on the design of Brasilia (perhaps as a student intern, given the city was completed before Sackley graduated!). Other claims made in the article are similarly difficult to prove. A list of known Sackley projects is attached in Appendix 3; the Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board's survey includes Stan Alan Sackley as a local modernist architect.

ARCHITECTURE
The architecture of the Sackley-Spare Residence can be described as 'Late Modern.' This means that significant elements of Modernist architecture and 'Desert Modern' exist as they did in the 1950s and 1960s, but from the late 1960s Late Modern (1968 — 1980) design took on more sculptural forms, increased massing, greater volumes, and expanded / exaggerated horizontal and vertical planes. The Sackley-Spare Residence is not only typical of Sackley's designs in this era, but it is arguably his most experimental and successful. It occupies a 10,000 square foot site, comprises four bedrooms and four bathrooms in nearly 5,000 square feet of living space (5,416 square feet including the garage) in a mostly rectangular shape. The front elevation is defined by its glazed entry flanked by stucco, windowless walls, with the only decoration being the distinctive horizontal bands of pink granite.

Sackley was using many 'Late Modern' elements in his designs from the mid -1960s onwards, with sculptural forms in evidence in the John Simon Residence (1965, Palm Springs) as well as the Hollowell Residence (1965, Palm Springs). As his style evolved in the 1970s, the volumes and massing increased, but one sees repetition of design devices and details by Sackley that make his homes easy to recognize both externally and internally. Indeed, this being one of his earlier 70s homes, and one of the largest of this era, the Sackley-Spare Residence was arguably the style guide for all the Late Modern homes that he subsequently designed. The design features below are distinctively 'Sackley' and all the elements listed are represented in the Sackley-Spare Residence.
- Flat roofs, long horizontals, often with a central section raised above adjacent wings - Deep cantilevered overhangs
- Use of blade walls to shield recessed windows
- Private front elevations
- Bold forms and planes
- Ceiling height windows
- Extra high ceilings
- Full -height doors (interior and exterior)
- Exaggerated volumes
- Textured block walls as ornamentation
- Glazed exterior walls / outdoor space adjacent to bathrooms - Mitred glass at corners of living spaces / dining areas / primary bedroom - Recessed windows flanked by blade walls that create vertical lines intersecting with the roof's horizontal planes.
- Limited ornamentation, such as narrow bands of colored granite as featured at the Sackley-Spare Residence
An additional feature for some Sackley homes was the offset garage that obscures the garage door from the street view and allows for a semi -circle driveway or forecourt, as it does at the Sackley-Spare Residence. The front (street elevation) is notable for the horizontal bands of pink granite interspersed with stucco that punctuate the main elevation and flank the garage entry. The unusually wide area of glazing to the main entry creates an inviting front atrium or entry court. To the rear of the house, the south elevation is one of 18 1192

Sackley's most dramatic, with the central living room windows forming a ceiling -height bay window, while the adjacent living area ceiling -height windows are substantially recessed under deep eaves providing drama and shade. This elevation is further enhanced by the long, low horizontal steps leading down to the pool, flanking a textured brick planter wall.

The homes that Sackley designed along Caliente Drive in Palm Springs bear similarities in use of materials like bands of granite, textured block walls, cut-outs in roof overhangs, mitred glass, and bathrooms adjacent to light wells. Most were in the region of 3,000 + square feet and followed a rectangular plan that Sackley provided on the larger, custom homes like the Sackley-Spare residence or the later 1981 Jerry Herman residence (See photos in Appendix 1).

A further evaluation of Sackley's work in Palm Springs can be found at the US Modernist archival website, which features Sackley's projects here:
httos://usmodernist.org/sackley.htm
(At the time of writing, there were errors in this list of his work, which names him as FAIA (he wasn't, but Herman C. Light was), and the residence on Pequeno Drive has since been identified as being by architect John Walling. US Modernist has been advised.) The following website presents a useful description for 'Late Modernism' with relation to historic preservation. httos:// www.swca.com/news/2017/08/what-late-modernism-means- for-historic-preservation
One extract: "What qualifies as "Late Modernism?" A few of the architectural features contributing toward that classification include a horizontally oriented building plan, ribbon windows, flat or shed roof, use of industrial materials like concrete, and very little exterior ornamentation."
There is also useful information on the Docomomo website which refers to Late Modernism in Los Angeles. https://docomomo-us.org/news/surveyla-citywide-historic-context- statement-late-modern-1966-1990
Of particular note, the quote from author Charles Jencks book entitled, 'Late -Modern Architecture,' (pub.1980, Rizzoli) "There are many ways to characterize Late -Modern architecture and most of them can be reduced to the single notion of exaggeration. Late - Modernism takes Modern architecture to an extreme in order to overcome its monotony and the public's boredom with it."
In 1986, according to Docomomo, "Jencks articulated his original definition, stating that "Late -Modernism is mostly "late" because it is still committed to the tradition of the new," and unlike Postmodernism, "does not have a complex relation to the past, or pluralism, or the transformation of Western culture — a concern with meaning, continuity, and symbolism." Ultimately, according to Jencks, "Late -Modernism" is "pragmatic and technocratic in its social ideology and from about 1960 takes many of the stylistic ideas and values of modernism to an extreme in order to resuscitate a dull (or cliched) language." 19 1193

CRITERIA:

Criterion 1: Events: The resource is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community. The Sackley-Spare Residence is not associated with any meaningful events.

Criterion 2: People: This criterion recognizes properties associated with the lives of persons who made meaningful contributions to national, state or local history. The Sackley-Spare Residence is not associated with anyone who made a meaningful contribution to history.

Criterion 3: History. The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history. The Sackley-Spare Residence exemplifies a custom residence of the Late Modern era in Rancho Mirage, at the time of the city's incorporation, and on the cusp of the city's mid -70s expansion. The Sackley-Spare Residence therefore exemplifies a particular period of local history.

Criterion 4: Construction. The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The Sackley-Spare Residence includes the distinctive Sackley characteristics: narrow, horizontal roof profile and deep cantilevers achieved by the use of steel in the construction. The innovative placement of the HVAC in the slab instead of the roof also helped to achieve the very narrow horizontal roof profile. Therefore, it qualifies under this criterion 4.

Criterion 5: High Artistic Value. 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. Graduate of the renowned USC School of Architecture, Stan Alan Sackley's career was set on a successful path by his partnership with senior Los Angeles architect and USC professor, Herman Charles Light, FAIA. This partnership secured Sackley's future. By the time Sackley's house for James Hollowell was published in Playboy Magazine in April 1966, Sackley was a confident designer of modernist architecture in the Palm Springs area.

Success continued throughout the 1970s, when his designs developed into Late Modern, this era represents his most significant contribution to the architectural legacy of Palm Springs. His Late Modern homes have become instantly recognizable and highly sought- after, through features shared by many of his custom and spec home designs:
- Flat roofs, long horizontals, often with a central section raised above adjacent wings - Deep cantilevered overhangs
- Use of blade walls to shield recessed windows
- Private front elevations
- Bold forms and planes
- Ceiling height windows
- Extra high ceilings
- Full -height doors (interior and exterior)
- Exaggerated volumes
- Glazed exterior walls / outdoor space adjacent to bathrooms - Mitred glass at corners of living spaces / dining areas / primary bedroom 20 1194

- Recessed windows flanked by blade walls that create vertical lines intersecting with the roof's horizontal planes.
- Limited ornamentation, such as narrow bands of colored granite as featured at the Sackley-Spare Residence
Homes by Sackley from the 1970s are frequently featured on Modernism Week tours. The Sackley-Spare Residence is the only known house by Sackley in Rancho Mirage and represents an architect at the height of his design powers, using all the elements of Late Modern design that he went on to use for his Palm Springs home designs. Therefore, it qualifies under this criterion.

Criteria 6 and 7 re: historic district attributes and pre -history do not apply. 21 1195

Integrity Analysis (using U.S. Secretary of 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.

LOCATION
Location is the place where an historic property was constructed or the place where an historic event occurred. The relationship between the property and its location is often important to understanding 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 Sackley-Spare Residence remains in its original location and therefore qualifies under this aspect.

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 Sackley-Spare residence's essential characteristics of form, plan, space, structure, and style have survived intact. The structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; and original details such as the horizontal bands of pink granite flanking the entry, remain in place. Fenestration patterns are consistent with those used by Sackley on similar projects in the Greater Palm Springs area at this time. Vertical shallow blade walls provide shade to tall, narrow windows. The design of the Sackley-Spare Residence remains as it was and is typical of Sackley's designs of this era.

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 22 1196

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 house is set back from the road by a deep driveway and motor court. Low pony walls on either side of the driveway near the street are believed to be original and help guide one's view towards the front of the house. The low pony wall to the right of the driveway also serves to ground the house, while creating the illusion of privacy from the street. The setting of the Sackley-Spare Residence continues to reflect the designer's original intent in its relationship of site and structure.

MATERIALS
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. The choice and combination of materials reveals the preferences of those who created the property and indicate the availability of particular types of materials and technologies. The Sackley-Spare Residence exterior surface materials: stucco finish, lack of fenestration to front elevation; glazed entry with central door opening to entry court; bands of horizontal pink granite at entry; intersecting horizontal and vertical planes, offset garage and semi- circle motor court, stacked brick work, blade walls to shelter tall vertical windows, high walls of glass to rear elevation to embrace golf course and mountain views. The materials continue to express the physical elements designed during the building's period of significance; the pattern and configuration that forms the residence survive intact.

WORKMANSHIP
Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular 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 workmanship of the Sackley-Spare Residence is consistent with housebuilding workmanship of the era.

FEELING
Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. 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 19th century. The Sackley-Spare Residence continues to express the desirable and recognizable aesthetic of a Late Modern home. Accordingly, the residence retains its original integrity of feeling.
23 1197

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 Sackley-Spare Residence is an important example of a Late Modern custom desert home; it is the only known original house by Sackley in Rancho Mirage.

INTEGRITY SUMMARY: The Sackley-Spare Residence appears to be in excellent condition and continues to fully represent the original design intent of architect Stan Alan Sackley.

This integrity analysis confirms that the building and site of the Sackley-Spare Residence still possess all seven aspects of integrity. The original footprint of the Sackley-Spare Residence remains intact. In summary, the residence still possesses a sufficiently high degree of integrity to qualify for historic designation.

SUMMARY: This evaluation finds the Sackley-Spare Residence eligible for listing as a City of Rancho Mirage Historic Site.

We're about halfway through
2015, but there is still plenty of time to check out
home tours and other fun events! We are particularly excited about the Stan Sackley Showcase events happening on Friday, Feb. 20 and Saturday, Feb. 21. During the 1970s, architect Stan Sackley designed a number of stunning homes along Caliente Drive in Palm Springs. featuring his trademark flat roofs, strong horizontal and vertical lines, and courtyard entries. On Friday evening, you can enjoy cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and 70s music by the Gand Band at the 1976 Stan Sackley residence recently renovated by . On Saturday, tour five Sackley- designed homes, including one that was his personal residence. Both events benefit Modernism Week (a 501(c)(3) charity).
2015 Modernism Week event features several Stan Sackley designed homes. The home featured above at 2299 Caliente Drive features the same horizontal bands of granite at the entry as those at the Sackley-Spare Residence. Also shown below in a 2025 photo.
