Section 32. Events of Default. Subject to any extensions of time by mutual consent in writing, and subject to the provisions of Section 31 "Delays in Performance", the failure or unreasonable delay by either party to perform any material term or provision of this 10th Amendment for a period of thirty (30) days after the dispatch of a written notice of default from the other party shall constitute a default under this 10th Amendment. If the nature of the alleged default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such 30 -day period, the commencement of the cure within such time period and the diligent prosecution to completion of the cure shall be deemed a cure within 10th Amendment Page 19
30 such period. Any Notice of Default give hereunder shall specify in detail the nature of the alleged Event of Default and the manner in which such Event of Default may be satisfactorily cured in accordance with the terms and conditions of this 10th Amendment. During the time periods herein specified for cure of an Event of Default, the party charged therewith shall not be considered to be in default for purposes of termination of this 10th Amendment, institution of legal proceedings with respect thereto, or whether any further building permits shall be issued with respect to the Project Site.

Section 33. General Default Remedies. After notice and expiration of the 30 - day period without cure, the non -defaulting party shall have such rights and remedies against the defaulting party as it may have at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the right to terminate this 10th Amendment pursuant to Government Code Section 65868 or seek mandamus, specific performance, injunctive or declaratory relief. Any rights or remedies available to non -defaulting party under this 10th Amendment and any other rights or remedies that such party may have at law or in equity upon a default by the other party under this 10th Amendment shall be distinct and separate, providing the non -defaulting party with cumulative rights and remedies. None of such rights or remedies, whether or not exercised by the non -defaulting party, shall be deemed to exclude any other rights or remedies available to the non -defaulting party. The non - defaulting party may, in its discretion, exercise any and all of its rights and remedies, at once or in succession, at such time or times as the non -defaulting party considers appropriate.

Section 34. Legal Action; Attorneys' Fees. Either party may, in addition to any other rights or remedies, institute legal action to cure, correct or remedy a default, enforce any covenant or agreement herein, enjoin any threatened or attempted violation hereof, or enforce by specific performance the obligations and rights of the parties hereto. The prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to be paid by the losing party.

Section 35. NEWAGE Default. No building permit shall be issued or building permit application accepted for any structure on the Project Site after NEWAGE is determined by City to be in default of the terms and conditions of this 10th Amendment until such default thereafter is cured by the NEWAGE or is waived by the City. If the City terminates this 10th Amendment because of NEWAGE's default, then the City shall retain any and all benefits, including money or land received by the City hereunder.

Section 36. Waiver. All waivers must be in writing to be effective or binding upon the waiving party, and no waiver shall be implied from any omission by a party to take any action with respect to an Event of Default. Failure by a party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this 10th Amendment by the other party shall not constitute waiver of such party's right to demand strict compliance by the other party in the future. In addition, no express written waiver of any Event of Default shall 10th Amendment Page 20
31 affect any other Event of Default, or cover any other period of time specified in such express waiver.

This 10th Amendment may be amended from time to time by mutual consent of the original parties or their successors in interest, with the City's costs payable by amendment applicants, in accordance with the provisions of Government Code Section 65867 and 65868 and the City's adopted procedures and requirements for the consideration of development agreements.

Section 38. Ambiguities or Uncertainties. The parties hereto have mutually negotiated the terms and conditions of this Development Agreement and each party received independent legal advice from its attorneys with respect to the advisability of executing this 10th Amendment and the meaning of the provisions contained herein. As such, this 10th Amendment is a product of the joint drafting efforts of both parties and neither party shall be deemed to have solely or independently prepared or framed this 10th Amendment. Therefore, any ambiguities or uncertainties are not to be construed against or in favor of either party.

Section 40. Nexus/Reasonable Relationship Challenges.

Section 41. Civil Code Section 1542 Waiver. NEWAGE hereby waives any and all rights they or their successors and assigns may have under Article XIIIC or Article XIIID of the California Constitution and any and all rights they or their successors and assigns may have under any other applicable law to contest the fees, exactions and assessments and/or their amounts payable to the City under this 10th Amendment as follows:

In furtherance of the intentions of the parties to this 10th Amendment, NEWAGE with and under advice of counsel, hereby expressly waives any and all right and benefit conferred upon said parties by the provisions of Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:
"A general release does not extend to claims which a
creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to 10th Amendment Page 21
32 exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
NEWAGE further expressly waives any and all rights and
benefits conferred upon NEWAGE by any provision of any other state, federal or local statute, code, ordinance or law similar to section 1542 of the Civil Code. NEWAGE expressly consents that the waiver of rights contained in the first paragraph shall be given full force and effect, according to the express terms and provisions of the instant waiver, to unknown and unsuspected claims, demands and causes of action, if any, arising out of or relating to the waiver of rights contained in this 10th Amendment.

DEVELOPMENT AND USE REGULATIONS REGARDING

CONDO -HOTEL PROJECTS
WHEREAS, there has been a recent increase in the
popularity of the development of and/or use of condo -hotel projects among individual and business investors, national and international hotel corporations, business travelers, members of the vacationing public and developers; and
WHEREAS, this increase in popularity has created a
need for specific regulations to govern the development and operation of condo -hotel projects to ensure that such
projects are developed and operated in a manner that not only effectively mitigate the impacts such projects will have on surrounding land uses and traffic circulation, but also enhances the City's ability to adequately provide for the public service needs of the owners and guests of condo - hotel units and the general public; and
WHEREAS, the potential conversion of existing
revenue -producing lodging establishments in the City to condo -hotel projects may result in diminished revenue to the City's general fund that is used to pay for many
general municipal services demanded of the City's
residents, businesses, and transient guests of the City's many lodging establishments unless the City adopts
development and operational standards regulating condo - hotel projects that are necessary for ensuring that such projects enhance rather than diminish the City's ability to continue providing optimal municipal services; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to enhance rather than
diminish the provision of general municipal services to its residents, businesses and transient guests of the City's many lodging establishments now and in the future while promoting development that will result in attracting and encouraging the development of additional revenue -producing business activities to the City; and
WHEREAS, the changing hotel market throughout the
country has created a demand for condo -hotel projects; and 1 41

WHEREAS, the City desires to enhance its opportunities
in attracting new resort hotel development to meet the

6. Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions;

7. Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; and

8. Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the payrate.

All eight (8) requirements must be met for CaIPERS to approve the pay amount as payrate and reportable compensation earnable.

Historic Resources Survey Update
DATE
ITEM #
January 15, 2026
PUBLIC HEARINGS - 6A.

Presented To
Presented By
Mayor and City Council
Ben Torres, Planning Manager

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Resolution No. 2026 -(Next -in -Order), Approving the Historic Resources Survey Update.

DISCUSSION
Background
In 2003 the City of Rancho Mirage completed its first intensive level survey of historic resources to serve as the backbone of the newly established historic preservation program. The survey identified 105 properties including two historic districts (Tamarisk Ranchos I and Tamarisk Fairways). The 2003 Historic Resources Survey primarily consisted of single-family homes with a few commercial properties identified ranging in year built from 1934 to 1978. Currently, there are 77 designated properties and two historic districts within the City. Most of the currently designated properties were part of the original 2003 Historic Resources Survey (46 properties from the survey are designated and both historic districts).

The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on May 14, 2024 given that the survey was over 20 years old and five proposals for the Historic Resources Survey Update were received. On July 18, 2024 the City Council awarded a professional services agreement with Urbana Preservation & Planning LLC to complete the Historic Resources Survey Update.

Historic Resources Survey Update (Survey Update)
The Historic Resources Survey Update is organized to include the following sections: Introduction, Regulatory Framework, Historic Resource Survey Results, Recommendations for Future Action, and Historic Context Statement. Each property listed on the survey update has a California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 Series form located within the appendix section. 123

The Survey Update has identified and evaluated 50 new historic -era properties within the city boundaries, updated 58 records for existing historic -era properties that have not been designated from the 2003 Historic Resources Survey, identified 5 new potential historic districts, and created 12 new survey forms for designated properties missing adequate documentation.

Properties listed on the Survey Update range in year built from 1934 to 1986 and are primarily residential. As part of the update, additional commercial properties were also included like the VCA Rancho Mirage Animal Hospital, Provident Bank, and Lord Fletchers.

Historic Preservation Commission (HPC)
On November 19, 2025, the Historic Preservation Commission was presented with the draft Historic Resources Survey Update. Various public comments were made and provided at the meeting. The HPC made a motion to table the item to a future meeting to allow for additional review time.

On December 17, 2025, the HPC continued reviewing the subject request, and additional public comments were made and provided at the meeting. After further discussing the Survey Update, the Historic Preservation Commission made the following motion:

MOVED/SECONDED BY LEIBOWITZ/LOPEZ TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO MAKE MINOR REVISIONS TO

THE HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY UPDATE BASED ON COMMENTS RECEIVED AND RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY UPDATE. MOTION CARRIED 5/0.

After the meeting staff and the project consultant revised the Survey Update based on comments from the HPC and public comments provided.

Public Noticing
Municipal Code Section 17.74.020(C), Hearing and notice, allows for alternative notice (subject to Government Code Section 65091(A)(3)) with a minimum 1/8th page newspaper notice if the number of property owners to whom notice would be mailed is more than 1,000. The subject notice was published (1/8th page size) in The Desert Sun on January 4, 2026. The notice was also posted at City Hall, The Rancho Mirage Library & Observatory, and on the City's website on December 30, 2025.

Public Hearing Notices were also mailed out on December 30, 2025 to all properties listed on the Historic Resources Survey Update and to their mailing address listed on County Records. Attachment 6 contains new public comments that were received and past public comments that were presented to the HPC.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
This Historic Resources Survey Update is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Historic Resources Survey Update will have a significant effect on the environment.

Program Status
As of this date, the City Council has designated 77 structures as Historic Resources. In addition, there are two designated Historic Districts in the City — Tamarisk Ranchos I and Cody Court (Tamarisk Fairways). 124

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
I. Introduction
In 2025 Urbana Preservation and Planning, LLC (Urbana) was commissioned by the City of Rancho Mirage to prepare a historic resource survey and historic context statement package to aid in the identification and evaluation of potential historic resources throughout the City. Preparation of the updated survey and context implements the City's goal to protect and preserve valuable and irreplaceable historic resources. See Figure 1 for the survey area boundaries, Figure 2 for a map of all historic -era (pre -1980) and contemporary - era neighborhoods, and Figure 3 for a detailed map with the names of all historic -era neighborhoods.

The purpose of this historic resource survey and context statement is to evaluate the significance and integrity of historic -era properties in the City of Rancho Mirage under the criteria of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and the Rancho Mirage Register of Historic Resources (Local Register), and to establish parameters via the historic context statement for future identification and evaluation of potential historic resources not yet surveyed.

In 2002, the city commissioned preparation of an intensive -level citywide survey of buildings and structures over 45 years of age (historic -era). Leslie Neumann and Associates conducted this survey between 2002-2003 which resulted in significance evaluation of 105 properties, including two potential historic districts and preparation of an initial historic context statement.

In 2024, Urbana was commissioned by the City to update and expand the 2003 historic context statement and the citywide historic resources survey. Urbana's methods and findings are presented in this report. The current citywide survey identified and evaluated 50 new historic -era properties within the city boundaries, updated 58 records for existing historic -era properties that have not been designated, identified 5 new potential historic districts, and created 12 new survey forms for designated properties missing adequate documentation.

Urbana staff documented and evaluated all properties and districts at an intensive level on Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 series forms. Of the 125 evaluated properties and districts, 104 are found significant and eligible for designation and listing on the Local Register, CRHR, or NRHP, either individually or as contributors to a potential local historic 147

Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
district. 21 documented and evaluated properties were identified as ineligible for listing on the Local Register, CRHR, or NRHP. See Figure 4 for the locations of all survey properties.

Methodological Approach and Report Organization
This report is organized to include the following sections: Introduction, Regulatory Framework, Historic Resource Survey Results, Recommendations for Future Action, and Historic Context Statement. City of Rancho Mirage Planning Division provided initial direction for Urbana's survey effort and research by providing a list of 58 properties that required updated documentation through survey and a list of 12 designated properties currently lacking sufficient documentation. Using the data from the City of Rancho Mirage and input from a local preservation advocacy organization, Preservation Mirage, Urbana generated created a list of 50 new properties for evaluation to fulfil the scope of work outlined by the City of Rancho Mirage.

The results of property evaluations on California Department of Recreation (DPR) 523 series forms for all individually surveyed properties are organized by their status as either updates, new sites, or previously designated sites and the forms are located in Appendix A -C.

Information regarding newly proposed historic districts within Rancho Mirage and their associated contributing properties is collected in Appendix D. Lastly, the qualifications for all Urbana staff, with resumes attached, are included in Appendix E.

The methodological approach involved four main tasks: desk and field survey, research, context preparation, documentation and reporting, and stakeholder involvement.

The Planning Division for the City of Rancho Mirage has made it a goal to update the historic resource survey to account for new properties that meet the age threshold for evaluation.

This goal is part of the larger community vision for Rancho Mirage outlined in the 2017 General Plan. While the 2003 historic resources survey is a valuable resource that serves as a guiding document for this update, the passage of time necessitated improvement to the over 20 -year -old report. The 2003 historic context statement did not include a concrete analytical framework to identify and evaluate historic resources for future survey efforts. The context statement provides significant themes for the broad history of Rancho Mirage, but that information is not applied to property types through the lens of significance thresholds, integrity considerations, and character defining features for specific architectural styles. The current historic resource survey and context statement provided an opportunity to update the 2003 historic context statement and historic resources survey. This report was prepared in accordance with accepted preservation practice as outlined in the steps below. 148

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
Desk and Field Survey
Urbana utilized historic aerial imagery and Assessor year -built data to research the previously identified 125 historic -era properties within the city boundaries assigned for survey by the City of Rancho Mirage. Of these 125 properties, 58 of these properties were previously surveyed and 12 were previously designated. Urbana updated the previous findings for these properties and documented and evaluated 50 additional properties and 5 newly proposed historic districts on DPR 523 series forms, the standard technical documentation for properties in California.

Field survey occurred over several days in November 2024. Several house types, architectural styles and stylistic variations, and community facilities within Rancho Mirage were photographed over the course of this fieldwork. All fieldwork was conducted from the public right-of-way and from cart paths on golf courses where properties were located within the boundaries of country clubs. Only primary buildings on a parcel were surveyed. Any properties that could not be observed from the public right-of-way or private streets were not surveyed. In particular, the survey focused on properties constructed between the 1930s and 1980s and those identified by members of the community as having historical importance.

Contextual and Property -Specific Research
Contextual and property -specific research informed survey activities, context development, and significance evaluations for individual properties. Research tasks involved in -person and remote/digital research of resources on file at the City of Rancho Mirage, Rancho Mirage Library & Observatory, Palm Springs Art Museum Archives, Preservation Mirage Archive, the Riverside Assessor -County Clerk -Recorder, UC Riverside, the Los Angeles Public Library, and Calisphere.

Local and regional newspapers were researched via the California Digital Newspaper Collection at UC Riverside, Genealogy Bank, and Newspapers.com. Newspaper accounts detailed the area's history including references to the development of larger residential tracts, and buildings and structures on individual parcels, as well as accounts of individuals associated with the city at different points in time.

Building permit records on file at the City were reviewed and tabulated for use in property documentation. Each survey property was researched for previous permits issued. The permit 149

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
data was integrated into the construction history portions of the property documentation.

The permits also provided past owner names and any attributed architects, designers, and builders which offered additional research leads.

Digital data from the City of Rancho Mirage provided local history which was used with early Palm Springs Telephone Directories, historic maps, historic photographs, newspapers and other ephemera provided by Preservation Mirage staff to inform information on specific properties in the City. Owners and occupant's names and biographical information were researched using collected Preservation Mirage data and additional genealogical research conducted online via Ancestry.

Aerial imagery was researched at multiple locales including National Environmental Title Research (NETR) Historic Aerials, UC Santa Barbara Frame Finder, and the U.S. Interior Department's Earth Explorer collection.

Subdivision tract maps, downloaded from the Riverside County Land Records Research Tool, set against the City's Residential Directory Map (showing current neighborhood names and locations) helped to verify boundaries, arrangement, and size of lots, and offered insight on the pace of growth for the city via survey and recordation dates.

Context Preparation
Utilizing contextual and property -specific research, Urbana developed an updated and expanded historic context statement. This context statement analyzes the historical development of the city and contains information about historical trends and properties, organized by important themes with corresponding timeframes.

The context development effort utilized the 2003 historic context statement prepared by Leslie Heumann and Associates. This report was prepared by Leslie Heumann, Teresa Grimes, and Peter Moruzzi. The current context statement utilizes some of the themes first identified in 2003 and introduces new themes, property type descriptions, significance thresholds, and integrity considerations to provide parameters for the identification of significant properties in the City. Eight themes were prepared as part of the updated context effort. • Theme 1: The Coachella Valley in the Spanish and Mexican Eras, 1774 - 1847 • Theme 2: Development of the Coachella Valley, 1848 - 1923 • Theme 3: Early Agricultural and Residential Period, 1924 - 1950 • Theme 4: Country Club Era, 1951 - 1973

Upon completion of fieldwork and contextual and property -specific research, Urbana documented and evaluated all surveyed properties and prepared this survey report package. All property documentation conformed to the California SHPO Instructions for Recording Historical Resources (1996 as amended).

The fieldwork data was used to update findings for previously recorded properties through the preparation of DPR 523 L (Continuation Sheet) forms for each previously recorded resource with updated photographs, descriptions of integrity, and eligibility conclusions. In addition to updating existing records, Urbana documented and evaluated 50 newly identified properties and 5 new historic districts using DPR 523 Series Forms, including 523A Primary Records; 523B Building, Structure, Object Records; 523D District Records (where appropriate), and 523J Location Records. Urbana assessed each property to determine the level of alteration and integrity status and focused the intensive documentation and evaluation on properties that initially appeared to qualify as historical resources more readily under CEQA.

City of Rancho Mirage Planning Division
The primary partner for the historic resource survey was the City of Rancho Mirage Planning Division and the Historic Preservation Commission. The Planning Division produces general plans for the City, manages the development of Rancho Mirage through zoning, produces applicable reports related to future development projects, and manages the Historic Preservation Program. The Director of Development Services, Majna Dukic and Planning Manager Ben Torres were directly consulted throughout the historic resource survey and context statement development process to provide input, feedback, and support throughout the research, fieldwork, and analysis stages of the project.

In November 2024, Urbana presented an overview of the survey effort and project goals to the City of Rancho Mirage Historic Preservation Commission. This presentation introduced the forthcoming historical resource survey effort and outlined the process for the coming months in terms of research, writing, and submission.

Other Partnerships
Members of the local preservation advocacy organization, Preservation Mirage, and individual property owners also assisted with survey and research efforts by providing access to properties, photographs, and other historical data to inform the survey process. The primary goals of Preservation Mirage are to advocate for the protection of significant architectural resources, assist with local designations, and raise awareness of the City's historic architecture by offering educational opportunities. Throughout the development of the historic resource survey and context statement, members of Preservation Mirage assisted Urbana staff by conducting local research, providing applicable historic documents and photos; and administering access to their archives.

Personnel
Urbana employed a team approach to the project with several staff members contributing to the project including
• John Hyche, MA, Associate Historian,
• Alexandrea Baker, MCP, Preservation Planner,
• Douglas E. Kupel, Ph.D., RPA, Senior Historian, and
• Wendy L. Tinsley Becker RPH, AICP, Principal.

All Urbana personnel meet the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards in the disciplines of History, Architectural History, and Archaeology. Resumes are included in Appendix E. Additionally, Urbana retained Rancho Mirage history expert and author of Mod Mirage: The Midcentury Architecture of Rancho Mirage, Melissa Riche, as a Senior Research consultant. Ms. Riche shared data and files from her personal archive, provided insight on properties selected for documentation, and facilitated introductions and access to survey properties where access was otherwise not granted.

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
I I . Regulatory Framework
This historic resource survey documented and evaluated 125 properties for eligibility under the criteria of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California Register for Historical Resources (CRHR), and the Rancho Mirage Register of Historic Resources (Local Register). Properties listed on or eligible for listing on the NRHP, CRHR, and Local Register generally qualify as historic properties and historic resources under Federal, State and local regulatory frameworks. Following is an overview of the historic preservation regulatory framework for properties and projects in Rancho Mirage.

National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) & Historic Properties The NHPA requires federal agencies to consider the effects of proposed undertakings on historic properties. A historic property is defined as any building, site, district, structure or object that is listed in or eligible for listing in the NRHP. For a property to qualify for the NRHP, it must meet one of four criteria for evaluation and retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance. Pursuant to National Register Bulletin 15 (36 CFR § 60.4), the quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and one or more of the criteria listed below.

Criterion A.

Criterion B.

Criterion C.

Criterion D.

That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction.

That have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

NRHP Criteria Considerations
According to the criteria considerations provided by the National Park Service in 36 CFR §

60.4, districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects such as cemeteries, birthplaces or graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years that meet one or more of the NRHP criteria are not considered eligible for listing in the NRHP. However, such properties would qualify in Rancho Mirage if they were found to be integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories listed below.

A. A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance.

B. A building or structure removed from its original location but which is primarily significant for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event.

C. A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site or building associated with his or her productive life.

D. A cemetery that derives its primary importance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events.

E. A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived.

F. A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own exceptional significance.

G. A property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance.

Integrity and the NRHP
In addition to meeting at least one of the designation criteria, a property must retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance for listing in the NRHP. Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance using physical characteristics related to a proposed historic period of significance. The National Park Service has defined the following seven aspects of integrity in National Register Bulletin 15 listed below. 158
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC
December 2025 I Page 19

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
• Location - the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.
• Design - the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property.
• Setting - the physical environment of a historic property. • Materials - the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.
• Workmanship - the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.
• Feeling - a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time.
• Association - the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) & Historical Resources
Historical resources are defined as "a resource listed or eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources" (CRHR) in the Public Resources Code, Section 5024.1; 14 CCR 15064.5. Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a), the term "historical resources" includes the following:

1. A resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the CRHR (Public Resources Code, Section 5024.1).

2. A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in Section 5020.1 (k) of the Public Resources Code or identified as significant in a historical resource survey meeting the requirements of Section 5024.1 (g) of the Public Resources Code, will be presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant.

3. Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be a historical resource, provided the lead agency's determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead 159

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
agency to be "historically significant" if the resource meets one or more of the criteria for listing on the CRHR (Public Resources Code Section 5024.1).

Criterion 1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage; Criterion 2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in California's past; Criterion 3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or Criterion 4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

4. The fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in the CRHR, not included in a local register of historical resources (pursuant to Section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code), or identified in a historical resources survey (meeting the criteria in Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code) does not preclude a lead agency from determining that the resource may be an historical resource as defined in Public Resources Code Sections 5020.1(j) or 5024.1 Pursuant to the California Office of Historic Preservation the California Register includes resources listed in or formally determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as some California State Landmarks and Points of Historical Interest. Properties of local significance that have been designated under a local preservation ordinance (local landmarks or landmark districts) or that have been identified in a local historical resources inventory may be eligible for listing in the California Register and are presumed to be significant resources for purposes of CEQA unless a preponderance of evidence indicates otherwise (PRC Section 5024.1, 14 CCR § 4850).

The California Register statute (PRC Section 5024.1) and regulations (14 CCR Section 4850 et seq.) require that at the time a local jurisdiction nominates an historic resources survey for listing in the California Register, the survey must be updated if it is more than five years old.

This is to ensure that a nominated survey is as accurate as possible at the time it is listed in the California Register. However, this does not mean that resources identified in a survey that is more than five years old need not be considered "historical resources" for purposes of CEQA. Unless a resource listed in a survey has been demolished, lost substantial integrity, or there is a preponderance of evidence indicating that it is otherwise not eligible for listing, a lead agency should consider the resource to be potentially eligible for the California Register.,

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
Integrity and the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) Integrity is the authenticity of a historical resource's physical identity evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed during the resource's period of significance. Historical resources eligible for listing in the California Register must meet one of the criteria of significance described above and retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historical resources and to convey the reasons for their significance.

Historical resources that have been rehabilitated or restored may be evaluated for listing.

Integrity is evaluated with regard to the retention of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. It must also be judged with reference to the particular criteria under which a resource is proposed for eligibility. Alterations over time to a resource or historic changes in its use may themselves have historical, cultural, or architectural significance.

It is possible that historical resources may not retain sufficient integrity to meet the criteria for listing in the National Register, but they may still be eligible for listing in the California Register.

A resource that has lost its historic character or appearance may still have sufficient integrity for the California Register if it maintains the potential to yield significant scientific or historical information or specific data.

CRHR Special Considerations
Certain properties may be listed in the CRHR under specific special circumstances. These special considerations are listed below.
• Moved buildings, structures, or objects. The Commission encourages the retention of historical resources on site and discourages the non -historic grouping of historic buildings into parks or districts. However, it is recognized that moving an historic building, structure, or object is sometimes necessary to prevent its destruction.

Therefore, a moved building, structure, or object that is otherwise eligible may be listed in the CRHR if it was moved to prevent its demolition at its former location and if the new location is compatible with the original character and use of the historical resource. An historical resource should retain its historic features and compatibility in orientation, setting, and general environment.
• Historical resources achieving significance within the past fifty (50) years. In order to understand the historic importance of a resource, sufficient time must have passed to obtain a scholarly perspective on the events or individuals associated with the resource. A resource less than fifty (50) years old may be considered for listing in the 161
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC
December 2025 I Page 22

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
CRHR if it can be demonstrated that sufficient time has passed to understand its historical importance.
• Reconstructed buildings. Reconstructed buildings are those buildings not listed in the CRHR under the criteria in 14 CCR § 4852(b) (1), (2), or (3). A reconstructed building less than fifty (50) years old may be eligible if it embodies traditional building methods and techniques that play an important role in a community's historically rooted beliefs, customs, and practices; e.g., a Native American roundhouse.

City of Rancho Mirage Historic Preservation Program
Contained within Chapter 15.27 of the City of Rancho Mirage Code of Ordinances, the City's historic preservation program provides a mechanism for identifying certain structures, sites and districts which represent eras, events, or persons important in the city's cultural, archaeological, social, economic, architectural, and political history for the purpose of encouraging the preservation, improvement, and promotion of such structures and sites without forcing private property owners to sell their properties through the use of the City's power of eminent domain. §15.27.040 specifies that the City maintain a survey and inventory program on a 10 -year cycle unless otherwise determined to identify those structures and sites within the city that represent an era, event, or person important in the city's cultural, archaeological, social, economic, architectural, and/or political history; and to identify structures and sites that potentially qualify to be placed or have been placed on the NRHP.

Survey / inventory findings shall be presented to the Historic Preservation Commission for review and recommendation to the City Council. Pursuant to §15.27.040 (D), the City Council shall conduct a duly noticed public hearing to determine which structures and sites should be added to or removed from the survey or inventory. Only the structures and sites contained within the inventory shall be deemed historic resources for purposes of this Chapter 15.27.

Pursuant to §15.27.070 (A), the City relies on the NRHP criteria to determine whether a particular structure or site qualifies for the NRHP, and also maintains a separate set of criteria, under §15.27.070 (B), to formally designate and add properties to the Rancho Mirage Register of Historic Resources (Local Register) and for the purposes of regulating historic resources pursuant to Chapter 15.27. Pursuant to § 15.27.070 (B), the City may find a particular structure or site to be a historic resource upon finding that one or more of the following criteria are met.

Criterion 1.

The subject structure or site is representative of a particular architectural style or reflects special elements of a historical period, type, style or way of life important to the city;
162

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
Criterion 2.

Criterion 3.

Criterion 4.

Criterion 5.

Criterion 6.

Criterion 7.

Criterion 8.

The subject structure or site is associated with a business or use which was once common but is now rare or non-existent within the city; The subject structure or site is representative of the evolution or development or associated with the cultural, religious, educational, political, social or economic growth of the city, county, state or nation; The subject structure or site represents the work of a master builder, engineer, designer, artist or architect whose individual genius influenced an era;
The subject structure or site signifies an historic event or is associated with persons or events that have made a meaningful contribution to the city, state or nation;
The subject structure or site has a high potential for yielding information or archaeological interest;
The subject structure or site embodies elements of outstanding or innovative attention to architectural or engineering design, detail, craftsmanship or use of materials; or
The subject site contains an unusual natural feature.

Pursuant to §15.27.070 (C), in the absence of a showing that a famous or well-known individual has made significant contributions to the city, state or nation, a former residence of such famous or well-known individual should not qualify as a historic resource, unless the structure itself qualifies under the criteria set forth in this section.

Pursuant to § 15.27.070 (D), a structure or site may qualify as a historic resource upon a finding that facts and circumstances exist that meet the criteria for placing the structure or site on the NRHP and/or the CRHR.

Pursuant to §15.27.110 (A), the City Council on its own or at the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission may without the owner's consent designate any defined geographic area within the city a historic district provided that the City Council determines that the structures or sites within the proposed historic district share a similar history, related significance and common architectural identity with one another. Absent the owners' consent, the City shall not impose any special standards upon the maintenance, preservation or rehabilitation of any of the structures or sites situated within such a designated district.

Pursuant to §15.27.110 (B), if a majority of the total number of structures within a defined geographic area have been deemed to be historic resources pursuant to Chapter 15.27, 163
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC
December 2025 I Page 24

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
and a majority of the property owners within the defined geographic area provide their written consent, then that area may be designated a historic district at the request of the subject property owners or their bona fide representative(s), provided that the City Council determines that the structures within the proposed historic district share a similar history, related significance and common architectural identity with one another and a majority of the subject property owners agree to adopt special standards via recordable conditions, covenants, restrictions or any other similar recordable instruments relating to the preservation and/or rehabilitation of the common areas that have been identified by the City to contribute to the overall integrity or character of the proposed historic district. Any request submitted for historic district designation by the owners or on behalf of the owners shall be presented to the City Manager or designee for the Historic Preservation Commission's review and recommendation to the City Council.

III. Historic Resource Survey Results
The survey scope of work included preparation of new and updated DPR 523 series forms for 58 previously recorded properties, 50 newly recorded properties, 12 locally designated properties in need of documentation, and five (5) proposed historic districts. To develop the final survey list, the Urbana team utilized the 2003 survey report, and a list of properties recommended for documentation by local members of Preservation Mirage. City Staff reviewed the proposed survey property list and provided approval along with building permit data for each property and other pertinent information to inform the documentation and evaluation effort. Preservation Mirage and its individual members shared research files, and in some instances, facilitated access to survey properties.

The individual properties and the five (5) proposed historic districts were evaluated for significance and eligibility under the criteria of the NRHP, CRHR, and Local Register. CRHR status codes were assigned to each property to provide reviewers a quick indication of the property status. CRHR status codes, as developed by the California Office of Historic Preservation, applied in the survey findings are defined below. • 36 - Appears eligible for NRHP both individually and as a contributor to a NRHP eligible multi -component resource like a district through survey evaluation. • 3D - Appears eligible for NRHP as a contributor to a NRHP eligible multi -component resource through survey evaluation.
• 3S - Appears eligible for NRHP individually through survey evaluation. • 3CB - Appears eligible for CRHP both individually and as a contributor to a CRHR eligible multi -component resource through survey evaluation. • 3CD - Appears eligible for CRHR as a contributor to a CRHR eligible multi - component resource through survey evaluation.
• 3CS - Appears eligible for CRHR individually through survey evaluation. • 5B - Locally significant both individually (listed, eligible, or appears eligible) and as contributor to a multi -component resource like a district that is locally listed, designated, determined eligible, or appears eligible through survey evaluation. • 5D3 - Appears to be a contributor to a multi -component resource that appears eligible for local listing or designation.
• 5S1 - Individually listed or designated locally.
• 5S2 - Individually eligible for local listing or designation. 165
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
• 5S3 - Appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation.
• 6Z - Found ineligible for NRHP, CRHR or local designation through survey evaluation.

Survey conclusions are detailed in the following pages.

Updates to Previously Recorded Properties
Of the 58 previously recorded properties three (3) are demolished, with documentation updated to reflect that change in status; 12 were evaluated as significant but ineligible under the NRHP, CRHR, and Local Register due to a lack of integrity; and 46 were evaluated as significant and eligible under the NRHP, CRHR, and Local Register. The 46 surveyed eligible properties meet the definition of an historic property and historical resource under the federal, state, and local regulatory framework. The 12 surveyed ineligible properties do not meet the definition of an historic property nor that of an historic resource under any regulatory framework. Table 1 below details the updated findings for the 58 previously recorded properties. See Figure 7 for a map of all the previously recorded eligible properties that are not locally designated.

Some notable resources within
this group of previously recorded
properties are the
Jorgensen/Mavis Residence at
40-253 Club View Drive and the
Elman Residence at 70-770 Frank
Sinatra Drive. Designed in 1955
by Master Architect William
Cody on the ninth fairway of the
Thunderbird Country Club golf
course, the Jorgensen/Mavis
Residence is an excellent
example of Cody's Desert
Modernist style and appears to
retain most, if not all, of its original design features. The Elman Residence at 70-770 Frank Sinatra Drive is another
exceptionally intact Modernist
home from 1955 built in the
Contemporary style that still
retains exceptional historic
integrity. Both properties are
potentially eligible for listing in
the national, state, or local
registers.

Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
Newly Recorded Properties
Of the 50 newly recorded properties, nine (9) were evaluated as significant but ineligible under the NRHP, CRHR, and Local Register due to a lack of integrity; and 41 were evaluated as significant and eligible under the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register. The 41 surveyed eligible properties meet the definition of an historic property and historical resource under the federal, state, and local regulatory framework. The nine (9) surveyed ineligible properties do not meet the definition of an historic property nor that of an historic resource under any regulatory framework. Pending rehabilitation, these nine properties may be suitable for reevaluation and a change in status. Table 2 below details the updated findings for the 50 previously unrecorded / newly identified properties. See Figure 10 for a map of all the newly recorded eligible properties.

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
Some notable resources within this
group of newly recorded
properties are the Jeff Chandler
Residence at 71-543 Tangier Road
and the Gerald Ford Estate at 40-
471 Sand Dune Road. The Jeff
Chandler Residence, built in 1957,
is a rare intact example of an
early property constructed by the
Rancho Mirage Realty Company
in Magnesia Falls Cove and
former home of the actor Jeff -
Chandler, famous for his role as
Cochise. The Gerald Ford Estate at
Thunderbird Country Club was the retirement home for President Gerald Ford and First Lady Betty Ford in the Coachella Valley after it was completed in 1978. This property, which has been restored and maintained by subsequent owners, was the location where Gerald and Betty Ford continued much of their work post -presidency and where Betty Ford oversaw the creation of the Betty Ford Center at Eisenhower Medical Center. It is an important local landmark eligible for listing
in the national, state, and
local registers for its
architectural significance,
constructed by Welton
Becket & Associates, and
associated with the Fords.

Some notable resources within this group of 12 listed properties include the Fincher Residence at 71-650 Estellita Drive and the Davis Residence, sometimes referred to as 'White Shadows", at 70-378 Pecos Road. Both homes are excellent example of Modern designs with different regional influences. The Fincher Residence is a Desert Modernist home, with natural stone siding and a low -profile flat roof design that blends with the surrounding desert locale.

It is a significant local example of the style built in 1962 during the height of the Modernism movement. The Davis Residence is also a unique Modernist style building, but it has distinct Moorish Revival elements from the designs of Henry Eggers and Walter Wilkman (Eggers & Wilkman), who built the home in 1957. The Davis Residence is a unique local landmark and a nationally significant example of an Eggers & Wilkman design. 174

Chalet Palms
The Chalet Palms community is a Post and Beam style Modernist group of condominiums that were constructed in 1964 by the Garfield -Collier Company and designed by Master Architect Barry Berkus. In 1963, developer Basil Collier decided to take advantage of TRACT 2926
t 3AHAQA } W
Figure 15. Chalet Palms - Tract No. 2926.

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 181

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 are the A - framed "chalet" roofs covering each unit's courtyard and the diamond -patterned shadow block walls surrounding the exteriors.

Tamarisk West I
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. The Tamarisk West I condominiums were completed as the first phase of the Tamarisk West community. This group of duplex homes was the first step in establishing the 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, which officially opened in 1965. Master Architect S. Charles 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. Following their opening, 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. 182

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, following the example set by several Tamarisk West I owners. These new occupants also wanted to convert their courtyards and atriums into fully indoor spaces with additional windows or more substantial roof coverings.

Tamarisk Ranchos II
The Tamarisk Ranchos II community is a Contemporary style group of single-family residences that were constructed in 1961 by the High Dale Company following designs developed by William Krisel and the Devon Construction Company. Lou Halper, an initial founder of Tamarisk Country Club, originally planned to build a 40 -lot subdivision with two groupings of communally designed homes in the late 1950s. In 1956, Halper hired Master Architect William Figure 18. Tamarisk Ranchos I & II Tract Map.

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 Rancho I, was built in 1958 by the Devon Construction Company. 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. 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.

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. The Tamarisk Gardens condominiums were completed in 1965 and were designed to cater to residents wanting both hotel resort perks and country club assess. 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. 185

IV. Recommendations for Future Action
Urbana recommends the following actions to ensure the future preservation and protection of historic resources within Rancho Mirage municipal boundaries. • Complete an Examination of Remaining Unevaluated Properties: Rancho Mirage Municipal Code Chapter 15.27 mandates completion of a historic resource survey every decade unless determined otherwise by City Staff. By 2035, the date of the next potential survey effort, more contemporary period properties will have achieved age eligibility status under the NRHP including several identified by Urbana in this survey effort. It is recommended that the City maintain the citywide survey program to ensure identification, registration, and appropriate treatment of historic resources throughout the City.
• Historic District Designation: The current survey effort identified 5 proposed historic districts. Of those 5 districts, the Tamarisk Ranchos II community appears to be ready for designation. Of the 16 total homes in the Tamarisk Ranchos II community, there are 7 individually locally designated properties. The current survey efforts identified at least 4 additional properties that are considered individually eligible for local designation and potential future district contributors. If the majority of the total number of buildings within the proposed district are deemed to be historic resources and a majority of the property owners within the bounds of the proposed district provide their written consent, the Tamarisk Ranchos II historic district can be locally designated, as outlined in Chapter 15.27.1 10 of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code.

Designation of the 4 newly surveyed properties and the overall proposed district by the City will provide official recognition of the area's significance to the City's history and will add a measure of protection for the area as a larger historic resource. • Future District Consideration: Besides Tamarisk Ranchos II, the current survey identified 4 other proposed historic districts that may be considered historic resources given that the majority of the housing units within the preliminary district boundaries can be deemed individually eligible properties or potential district contributors and the majority of the property owners within the bounds of the proposed district provide their written consent. These other proposed districts, Chalet Palms, Tamarisk West I, 187
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC
December 2025 I Page 48

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
Tamarisk West II, and Tamarisk Gardens, all have properties eligible for both individual designation and contributory status. For the future designation of these districts, City staff may work with property owners to encourage restorative changes to exterior materials, and work towards the maintenance of current historic -era features. The City of Rancho Mirage Planning Division may also encourage property owners to consider future district designation for the purposes of promoting California Mills Act program agreements and incentives.
• Reevaluation of properties identified as lacking integrity: Several documented properties have been identified as lacking integrity to convey significance. It is recommended that owners consider conformance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties: Standards for Rehabilitation when planning future proposed projects at these properties with the goal of restoring the properties to a higher degree of integrity.
• Civic Property Designation: The current survey effort reevaluated City of Rancho Mirage Fire Station #1 (Riverside Country Fire Station 50) at 70-801 Highway 1 1 1 which was previously surveyed in 2002 and recommends that the City of Rancho Mirage designate the property as a locally significant historic resource. The Brutalist style fire station was constructed in 1975 by W.E. Colglazier and was designed by city architect Robert H. Ricciardi. Urbana found the property to be significantly associated with the theme of Cityhood (1973 -Present) as the oldest, minimally altered civic building in Rancho Mirage and significant as a building that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Brutalist style civic property.
• Future National, State, and Local Designations: In addition to civic properties that are recommended for local designation, other properties significant at the state or local level should be listed on the Local Register. Properties such as the Jorgensen/Mavis Residence, Jeff Chandler Residence, and Desert Braemar are significant properties eligible at the state and local level that are important and noteworthy candidates.

Likewise, properties in Rancho Mirage that are either eligible for the NRHP, currently listed, or determined eligible for listing in the Local Register, should be moved forward to nomination and listing. Some of these properties include Sunnylands (The Annenberg Estate), which is already designated at the local level; the Cook Residence (Ichpa Mayapan); and the Gerald Ford Estate. It is recommended that the City work with interested property owners to nominate these eligible and locally listed properties and others to the NRHP. This will further a sense of pride in the history of the area and provide a basis for future heritage tourism programs. 188

Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
• Context Representatives: Beyond the more noteworthy and significant eligible properties that should be moved forward for designation, it is recommended that the City establish a goal to identify and designate representative examples of the historic context themes. This will result in a good balance of the several historic themes that are important to the City. For example, the Clancy Residence is a good example of the Early Agricultural and Residential Period theme. Commercial buildings such as the Noel F. Birns Building, Lord Fletcher's Restaurant, and Provident Bank are strongly related to the Commercial Development and Cityhood themes. Properties significant as important examples of architectural styles are also worthy of designation. Urbana recommends that the City work with property owners to gain official designations for properties that are representative of the important historical themes in the City. 189

V. Historic Context Statement
Rancho Mirage's early history is tied to the development of ranches and farms along the Bradshaw Trail, which evolved over time into the Bradshaw Highway (Highway 1 1 1). The original Bradshaw Trail was a route intended to provide safe and efficient passage between present-day Palm Springs and present-day La Paz, Arizona where a gold strike occurred in 1862. In 1868, the Bradshaw route was officially authorized by Congress as a U.S. Mail stagecoach route to carry mail from Los Angeles through San Bernardino, La Paz and Prescott, Arizona, and on to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Bradshaw Stage Line passed through the southern section of modern-day Rancho Mirage until it was replaced by a graded gravel road in 1915. This early stagecoach route, however, was not the primary transportation corridor in the Coachella Valley. In 1876, the Southern Pacific Railroad extended service from Los Angeles to Indio to transport people and produce grown in the region. The Coachella Valley was home to numerous farming establishments, particularly Indio, which featured reliable water sources. Rancho Mirage's climate fostered growth of exotic dates, citrus trees, and grapes, becoming one of several agricultural communities in the Coachella Valley.

This Southern Pacific connection opened the Coachella Valley for more than homesteading, ranching, and agricultural uses. In the first few decades of the 20th century, tourism, including therapeutic and recreational resorts, were developed throughout the valley. The Desert Health School for Children opened in the 1930s, which was originally the Eleven Mile Ranch established in 1925 by William E. Everett. Nine years later, development began on what is now the Magnesia Falls Cove residential subdivision, which was platted in 1929 as an Egyptian themed resort community. However, development did not begin until 1934 when Louis Blankenhorn purchased the subdivision and hired Van Pelt & Lind to design homes.

Only a few residences were built before A. Ronald Button bought the Rancho Mirage development in 1944 and partnered with Dave Culver and Art Linkletter to build even more homes. Still, settlement was slow, and Rancho Mirage consisted mainly of agricultural ranches. After 1951, the fabric of the community began a rapid transformation with the construction of the Thunderbird and Tamarisk Country Clubs.

In 1950, after Johnny Dawson and his group of notable investors bought the Thunderbird Ranch from Frank Bogert, they quickly began development on the first eighteen -hole golf course in the Palm Springs area. Only a year after Thunderbird Country Club opened, San 190

Francisco real estate developer and theater owner Joseph Blumenfeld bought the Harry Taylor ranch property with plans to create the Tamarisk Country Club. With the success of both country clubs and others that soon followed, Rancho Mirage quickly became the leader in the development of the Coachella Valley as a new "golf capital of the world." The development of country clubs also coincided with the construction of custom residential and commercial properties within their boundaries. Booming post-war development within these country clubs helped shape what is now commonly referred to as 'Desert Modernism.' Although country clubs were the dominant property type developed in Rancho Mirage in the post -WWII period, smaller communities apart from the clubs also sprang up. They distinguished themselves by advertising exclusive -use community resources such as shared pools, gardens, and regular maintenance. These communities, while distinctive in their identity, were tied to the success of the clubs and used their proximity as a common selling point. Additionally, commercial properties to support new residents within and outside the country clubs were quickly built along the Highway 111 corridor including hotels, shops, stores, and offices. Eventually, civic and public -serving institutions were established to support Rancho Mirage's growing population. These early improvements included schools and the Eisenhower Medical Center.

Rancho Mirage experienced a building boom in the mid -1970s after its incorporation in 1973.

By 1974, 5,000 new dwellings were under construction. The City approved several early municipal improvements, including the construction of Fire Station #1 (Riverside Country Fire Station 50) on Highway 1 1 1 in 1976 and Rancho Mirage City Hall in 1979. Country club development continued at a steady pace and commercial growth accelerated along the Highway 111 corridor. During the 1980s, the City of Rancho Mirage continued to invest in infrastructure and capital improvements including construction of the Whitewater Park in 1981 (now Rancho Mirage Community Park) and creation of the Bighorn Sheep Preserve in the Santa Rosa Mountains in 1987. Today, Rancho Mirage remains a destination for golfers and a hub for medical services in the Coachella Valley, with numerous golf courses and a growing Eisenhower Health campus which has become the largest employer in the City.

Rancho Mirage continues to embrace its heritage while facilitating new development strategies.

This historic context includes a historical narrative, organized by chronological periods of development. For each narrative theme, the relevant property types are identified with designation requirements. Eight themes are included in the following pages. 191

Theme 1: The Coachella Valley in the Spanish and Mexican Eras, 1774 - 1847
Juan Bautista de Anza, a Spanish explorer in search of a land route between Mexico and California, passed through the Coachella Valley in 1774.2 For the Desert Cahuilla people who lived in the region, this was their first contact with Europeans. Linguistically part of the Shoshonean family, the Desert Cahuilla in the region, who later became known as the Agua Caliente band of Cahuilla Indians, had developed camps and villages in several canyons, exploiting ample water supplies, natural palm groves, and the hot springs that provided the group with its name.3
Unlike other tribes' experiences with Europeans, the first encounter between the Cahuilla and the Europeans initially had limited impact on their established way of life. The Spanish expedition continued to Mission San Gabriel Arcangel. Other visitors in the valley were rare, as Spanish settlement became concentrated on the coastal areas of California Alta. The Cahuilla continued their traditions of hunting, gathering, and cultivating melons, squash, beans, and corn for their subsistence.4 After 1800, Spanish travel and trade expanded across the desert and the Coachella Valley became a more important location on the well - established trails. Some of the Cahuilla people also traveled outside of the valley on these trails and settled on distant missions established by the Franciscans. As early as 1809, Cahuilla people were being baptized at distant missions, and by 1819, Cahuilla villages were regularly trading with Spanish travelers. They began obtaining goods such as horses, cattle, glass beads, cloth, and metal tools.5 Eventually, contact with Europeans had a devastating impact on the Cahuilla people, first through outbreaks of diseases such as syphilis, cholera, measles, smallpox, malaria, tuberculosis, and typhoid fever, to which they had no natural defenses, and ultimately, the disruption of their traditional culture and practices, the introduction of unhealthy changes in diet, and the stress of coerced labor on ranches.6 The population of many Cahuilla communities declined rapidly.

A small local rebellion in Mexico in 1810 quickly grew into a war for independence from Spain, and after a long struggle to be free from Spanish colonial rule, Mexico gained its independence in 1821. Alta California, which had few settlers, became a territory of the new Republic of Mexico rather than a state. Important changes in the laws and administration of California included secularization of the missions and the awarding of large land grants to Mexican citizens in the southern California area. Again, this had limited impact on the Coachella Valley as few settlers were interested in establishing a ranch in the arid desert, but Cahuilla men were often sought as wage laborers to work on ranches outside the Coachella Valley.

The United States declared war on Mexico in 1846, and after the war, with the Treaty of Guadalupe -Hidalgo, Mexico ceded control of California and the greater Southwest to the United States. The discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush of 1849, and about 300,000 immigrants traveled to the area from around the world. Thousands of these gold -seekers traveled west along the branches of the southern route, some of which passed through the Coachella Valley. This new wave of settlers and travelers began to impact Cahuilla communities in more direct ways than the previous 50 to 75 years of contact.

Associated Property Types
There are no known extant structures related to the Spanish and Mexican Era within the boundaries Rancho Mirage municipal boundaries. Therefore, existing, and future property types dating to the Spanish and Mexican eras do not fall into categories of residential, commercial, recreational, or civic/institutional buildings or structures. Instead, any undiscovered cultural resources related to the period that may be designated will either be archaeological sites, objects, and natural areas and features. These site types may be related to Native American life in the Coachella Valley and may or may not be related to living communities, such as the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, the Torres -Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, and the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians. As such, these sites may differ in terms of material culture, use, or cultural significance from sites related to the prehistoric period.

The archaeological sites, objects, or natural areas and features may also be related to early European expansion into the Coachella Valley via new trails and trade routes. Below are the definitions, character defining features, and significance thresholds for these types of sites.

Archaeological Sites
Archaeological sites related to the Spanish and Mexican Eras theme may date from approximately 1774 to 1847, when initial trade routes, trails, and relationships were beginning to form between Cahuilla tribes and Spanish/Mexican colonists, before sustained Western settler migration brought permanent development in the Coachella Valley. These sites may include villages, campsites, caves, rock shelters, middens, quarries, cemeteries, cremation sites, and other evidence of Native American occupation, like those found during the Prehistoric period but with clear changes in material culture that signify trade within European communities. Items such as European faunal remains, glass beads, European 193

Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
ceramics, and metal tools may be some indicators of Cahuilla sites from the post -contact period. Archaeological sites may also be directly related to European settlement and travel through the region. Campsites, forts, dwelling remains, trash middens, western style burials, and other types of historic archaeological sites may be dated to this period based on accumulated physical and historical evidence.

Character -defining features strictly apply to architectural character, and they are elements that define the visual and physical appearance of buildings and structures. Archaeological sites are more widely varied than historic structures and buildings. The visual and physical appearance of an archeological site is often impossible to accurately evaluate prior to excavation. However, significant prehistoric and historic archaeological sites do often share common elements. Significant archaeological sites often exhibit some or all the following characteristics.
• Related to a particular time or cultural group
• Exhibit minimal disturbance and intact features
• Contain artifact assemblages in good condition
• Display definable geographic boundaries
Objects
Significant objects from the Spanish or Mexican eras may include petroglyphs and pictographs like those that existed during the prehistoric period, but they must be dated or otherwise differentiated from objects dating to the pre -contact timeframe. Significant objects might also be trail markers or historic art created by Spanish or Mexican explorers and travelers, or other distinct artistic work dated between 1774 and 1847. No significant objects have been recorded within the boundaries of Rancho Mirage, though future sites may be discovered through future survey work.

As with archaeological sites, objects do not have character defining features in the same sense as buildings and structures. However, significant proto-historic objects may share similar elements in location and design. Significant objects may share some, or all, of the following features.
• Created through a carving, scratching, drilling, sculpting, dyeing, painting, polishing, etching, and/or movement/rearrangement
• Located on vertical or horizontal rock walls in the open air, protected rock shelter walls, under rock overhangs, or cave walls
• Formed with man-made manufactured material, such as metal, adobe, and brick for markers and/or artistic compositions

Natural Areas and Features
Significant natural areas and features may be regions with no evidence of human activity or intervention, or areas modified by a traditional community. Such areas may be culturally significant to a community because this area serves to reinforce its beliefs or because the area is one from which that community derives natural resources important to the community. Therefore, the identification of such types of cultural properties relies on sustained and meaningful consultation with established local tribes such as the Torres - Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, and the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians. Natural areas and features that were identified and/or in - use between 1774 and 1847 may be deemed as significant historic resources. Future research projects may identify potential areas and features to be designated.

Natural areas and features significant to a linked ethnic or social group may include some or all the following characteristics.
• Mountaintops
• Caves
• Trails
• Collection areas
• Animal habitats
• Springs or other sources of water
• Places referenced in songs and other literature
• Other places important to religious, social, or economic lifestyles Significance Thresholds
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, archaeological sites, objects, or natural areas and features dating to the Spanish and Mexican eras must be significant under at least one of the following criteria listed below.

NRHP Criterion A/CRHR Criterion 1
A site dating between 1774 and 1847, may be significant under Criterion A/1 for its association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of history after the date of initial contact during the Spanish or Mexican eras of Californian history. Sites from this period must be conclusively dated to Spanish or Mexican spans of occupation in the region through elements of material culture or scientific dating methods 195

utilizing organic material. Significant natural areas and features under Criterion A/1 must have a significant and ongoing participation or linkage of an ethnic or social group with an area's history. A property must be important to a community today and be utilized in the same function as it was historically. In Rancho Mirage, places linked to specific practices or beliefs by local Desert Cahuilla Tribes must retain the same role as they did for Cahuilla people of the past.

NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2
A site from the Spanish or Mexican eras that is identified with specific persons significant to national, state, or local history, such as important Native American leaders, European explorers, colonial settlers, early ranchers, and noteworthy traders may be eligible under Criterion B/2. While Juan Bautista de Anza is one of the only currently known significant individuals to have interacted with Desert Cahuilla tribes during this period, additional significant individuals may be uncovered through future research projects. Oral traditions and symbols may also link specific individuals or spiritual figures to individual sites or objects.

In these instances, the term "person" may be used in less Eurocentric terms to convey how a place can be tied to traditions of the past and present.

NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3
A site from the Spanish or Mexican eras may be significant under Criterion C/3 as the remains of a building or structure that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, method of construction, use of indigenous materials, or craftsmanship of the Desert Cahuilla people after initial contact with Europeans. Intact organic materials related to Cahuilla structures or other evidence of no longer extant structures may provide valuable insight into the distinctive methods of construction utilized by tribes in the valley during the Spanish and Mexican eras. Objects can be important examples of craftsmanship and/or artistic composition during these formative eras. Western building remains may also be significant under Criterion C/3 for embodying the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, method of construction, use of materials, or craftsmanship of early settlers. Though there is no evidence of colonist and settler buildings or structures in Rancho Mirage, future research projects and survey work may yield new information. Modified natural areas and features may be significant under Criterion C/3 if they can be shown to be associated with a well- known crafter that is respected and valued by a living traditional community or if they display artistic values reflecting an ethnic group's distinctive mode of expression. 196

NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4
A site from the Spanish or Mexican eras may be significant under Criterion D/4 as a resource which has the potential of yielding information important in prehistory or history. Most existing significant archaeological sites and objects that retain integrity and future sites will be labeled significant using this criterion. Examples of intact natural areas and features that could yield information of scientific value may include collection sites for studies of subsistence patterns or religious and ceremonial sites for ethnographic data.

Local Register Criteria
A site or object, dating between 1774 and 1847, may be significant under Local Register Criterion 1 if it is representative of a particular architectural style or reflects special elements of a historical period, type, style or way of life important to the City; under Local Register Criterion 2 if it is associated with a business or use which was once common but is now rare or non-existent within the City, such as trading, milling, or other forms of early food production; under Local Register Criterion 3 if it is representative of the evolution or development or associated with the cultural, religious, educational, political, social or economic growth of the City, county, state or nation, like a site pertaining to the development of an early Coachella Valley settlement; under Local Register Criterion 5 for an association with a historic event person(s) that have made a meaningful contribution to the City, state or nation, like an early trading post or trail; under Local Register Criterion 6 if it has a high potential for yielding information of archaeological interest; or under Local Register Criterion 8 if it contains an unusual natural feature.

Because no extant buildings or structures dating from 1774 - 1847 exist within Rancho Mirage, Local Register Criteria 4 and 7 are not applicable to this theme.

Integrity Considerations
To be eligible for listing in the NRHR, CRHR, or Local Register, a site from the Spanish or Mexican eras must retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance. The integrity of a site describes the level of preservation or quality of information contained within a district, site, object, or other assemblage. Sites with high integrity are relatively intact and complete. The archeological record at a site with high integrity has not been severely impacted by contemporary un-related cultural activities or natural processes. Sites lacking integrity may contain elements that are inconsistent with a particular time or culture.

To be eligible for listing in the NRHR, CRHR, or Local Register, natural areas and features 197

Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
related to practices from the Spanish or Mexican eras life must retain sufficient integrity of condition and relationship to convey their significance. The integrity of condition regarding a natural area or feature describes the level of preservation or quality of information contained within a definable area. Natural areas and features with high integrity of condition have not been severely altered by later, unaffiliated cultural activities or natural processes.

Areas lacking integrity of condition may contain elements that are inconsistent with a particular time or culture. Areas with high relational integrity are integral to the retention or transmittal of a belief or to the performance of a practice. Conversely, beliefs and practices may also be integral to the maintenance of a natural area or feature. However, areas and features used in traditional beliefs and/or practices that are not specifically essential to the practice of such beliefs and/or practices do not have a strong relationship and therefore possess a lower, or secondary, degree of relational integrity.

The importance of each aspect of integrity depends upon the nature of the site and the criterion or criteria under which it is being nominated. Sites from the Spanish or Mexican eras nominated under NRHP Criteria A/CRHR Criteria 1 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. Sites nominated under NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2 should retain integrity of location, design, feeling, and association, as the physical condition of a site is directly related to connection between a property and a significant individual. Sites nominated under NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling, as these are critical for a property to embody distinctive characteristics of a style. Sites nominated under NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4 should retain integrity of location, materials, and association.

For sites potentially eligible for listing in the Local Register, a site nominated under Criteria 1, 4, or 7 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling. A site nominated under Criteria 2, 3, or 5 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. A site nominated under Criteria 6 or 8 should retain integrity location, materials, and association.

Theme 2: Development of the Coachella Valley, 1848 - 1923 Shortly after the beginning of the American period, settlers became invested in ways to utilize the Coachella Valley and the San Gorgonio Pass to their benefit. Specific technological improvements and advantageous land laws made settlement possible and initial establishments were slow to gain a footing. The advent of sustained contact between Americans and the Desert Cahuilla people also introduced friction between the groups and the eventual establishment of Native American reservations in the Coachella Valley.

The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo that ended the war with Mexico allowed the United States to begin surveys for railroads. Between 1853 and 1857, the United States sent out several teams to survey the southwest for possible transcontinental railroad routes. Notable explorers searched for a practical route west in the interest of linking California to the rest of the nation. One of the earliest railroad surveys was led by Lieutenant Robert S. Williamson, a graduate of the United States Military Academy, who led a US Army Corps of Topographical Engineers survey in 1853. Williamson's party left Benicia, California, and travelled south, exploring passes through the Sierra Nevada.' The most southerly branch, from Texas to San Diego, was surveyed by Lieutenant John C. Parke and geologist William Blake. This route was later used by the "Jackass Mail" from Texas to San Diego in 1857, and then by the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach trail that went through Yuma and on to Los Angeles and San Francisco. The company departed with a large contingent of workers and supplies and surveyed the Coachella Valley in 1853, identifying the San Gorgonio Pass as the best low- level mountain pass on the Pacific slope suitable for a potential railway line. To provide an incentive for the construction of a railroad, the federal government deeded every other odd -numbered section to the Southern Pacific Railroad while retaining the even -numbered ones, resulting in a grid of one -mile square sections.8 In 1861, four Sacramento businesspeople incorporated the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR).

These investors, known as "The Big Four," included Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, Charles Crocker, and Collis P. Huntington, were known for building the western section of the first transcontinental railroad across Sierra Nevada. They also bought the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR), which ran from San Francisco to San Diego via the San Joaquin Valley, to expand it into a southern transcontinental route.9 In 1871, Congress authorized the SPRR to be the only railroad to "construct a line of railroad from a point at or near Tehachapi Pass, by way of Los Angeles, to the Texas Pacific Railroad at or near the Colorado River." This action essentially blocked the Texas Pacific in California.10 The SPRR began construction through the Coachella Valley in 1864. The grade through San Gorgonia Pass was one of the most difficult to build, requiring wagons to haul water, food, supplies, and materials to the 199

site. As the railway line was completed, a railroad depot was constructed in present-day Indio, as a mid -way point between Yuma and Los Angeles. In 1876, the railroad through the pass was completed between Los Angeles and Indio. The next year, 1877, the SPRR reached the Arizona border and controlled approximately 85% of California's railroad mileage.

Congress granted the SPRR right of way through the military reservation at Fort Yuma, which enabled the railroad company to complete the transcontinental route along the 32nd parallel as originally envisioned in ratification of the Gadsden Purchase treaty in 1854. By 1883, the line extended east to New Orleans by connecting to railroads that were constructed to the West.

STAGE ROAD TO THE 0.07-iaRADO GOLDelmx,nzg,
In 1862, gold was discovered near La Paz, Arizona, attracting potential miners from Los Angeles to travel eastward across the Mojave and Colorado Deserts utilizing the San Gorgonio Pass to the Coachella Valley. Henry De Groot, an assistant geologist for the California State Mining Bureau, teamed with newspaper writer J. H. Riley to investigate the La Paz gold rush and travel along the routes miners were taking to get from California to Arizona. De Groot and Riley left from San Bernardino, California, aiming to take a newly opened trail discovered by William Bradshaw which went through the San Gorgonio Pass, cutting 200 miles from the journey. Along the way De Groot described geography, distances traveled, water hole locations, and available food for livestock. Riley kept notes in his diary and recorded stories and narratives from their journey.

The Bradshaw Trail ran from the Agua Caliente Village (Palm Springs), through what is now Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta, the Rancheria de los Toro's, the Martinez Village, Lone Palm Springs, and Dos Palmas (near the modern-day edges of the Salton Sea where 200

potable water was available). After passing down the Coachella Valley, the Bradshaw Trail passed Tabaseca and Chuckawalla, eventually arriving at the Pima Villages near La Paz." By 1915, the trail was characterized by a graded road that became the Bradshaw Highway and later Highway 1 1 1. The route hugged the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains and roughly paralleled the Whitewater Riverbed. It became the spine of "cove communities," throughout the valley, including Rancho Mirage.12
Native American Reservations and Early Homesteads
Throughout the first decades of the American period, the Cahuilla people were often subject to continued labor exploitation for ranching, agriculture, and railroad construction throughout Southern California and the Coachella Valley. An 1860 system of apprenticeship was instituted in California which essentially legalized indentured servitude for Native workers.

However, following the Great Drought between 1862 and 1864, cattle raising activity in California sharply declined and large tracts of agricultural lands were divided into smaller parcels. Therefore, the need for Native labor decreased and the need for workers became increasingly filled by Chinese immigrant laborers over the last quarter of the 19th century.13 As labor conditions in Southern California evolved, Native American groups advocated for property rights and fought against their continual mistreatment.

In 1870, the Indian Rights Association was created to stop the theft of Indian land and water across the country. Several religious organizations also joined the effort in support of Native Americans, and in response, President Ulysses S. Grant implemented a procedure for establishing land grants for specific tribes. This became known as the Grant Peace Policy.

President Grant established the first reservations for the Cahuilla, Torres -Martinez, Cabazon, and Morongo peoples in the San Gorgonio Pass and Coachella Valley in 1875.

The boundaries of the first reservations in the Coachella Valley were not clearly defined, resulting in lawsuits by settlers who challenged the reservation grants. In 1852, the Desert Cahuilla people in the Coachella Valley were to be given a strip of land that was 30 miles wide and 40 miles long. However, Congress failed to ratify the treaty and the proposed reservation boundaries were not formally recognized.14 In 1887, Congress passed the Dawes Act, which allowed the division of reservation land into separate tracts allotted to individual Native Americans. Conflicts over land ownership and allotments continued. To resolve these disputes the Act for the Relief of Mission Indians was enacted in 1891, which established reservations in Southern California according to the recommendations of the Smiley Commission. This act clearly defined the boundaries of each reservation. However, due to lawsuits, the designated reservation lands were reduced by one-third of what was originally 201

designated. The lands of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, Torres -Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, and the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians are products of the reservation system that continued to evolve after 1875.

In 1952, members of Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, including Dora Joyce Weimas, whose family still holds several Mission Hills Country Club land allotments, traveled to Washington D.C. to lobby for the Equalization Bill and the 99 -year Land Lease Act. In 1959, Congress passed the Equalization Bill, which equalized property values for the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, set aside tribal reserves, and allowed for 99 -year leases.15 Today, the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation totals 34,032 acres (53 square miles), primarily consisting of one square -mile sections obtained from the federal government after the SPRR was completed.'6
The creation of the tribal reservation system coincided with the inception of other federal policies designed to encourage Americans to move west and develop the vast interior of the continent. The suite of laws that made formal settlement in the western United States possible began with the Homestead Act of 1862. Homesteading was integral to the settlement of the American West. The 1862 Act and subsequent related laws allowed settlers to gain ownership of federally owned lands previously considered part of the public domain.

Although homesteading had its roots in the mid -19th century, easing requirements and extending the act allowed homesteading to continue in the early 20th century. The homestead laws were changed and modified many times and reinterpreted by rules and court decisions. These changes allowed people to homestead larger tracts of land. Also, the laws evolved so that residency requirements were reduced. The Homestead Act and its amendments had such an impact on the settlement of the western United States that by 1958 some 38,784,000 acres of federal land had been transferred from the public domain to homesteaders in California alone."
Under the Homestead Act of 1862, an applicant could declare his or her intent to homestead. The homesteader was then required to make certain improvements, including building a residence, cultivating the land, and residing on the claim for five years, and then would receive a patent for a 160 -acre parcel. A homestead claim could be made by almost anyone who was the head of a household or at least 21 years of age. U.S. citizens, freed slaves, new immigrants, single women, and people of all races were eligible. Though the requirement for "proving up" homestead claims changed over time, applicants were required to live on the land for a set amount of time and make improvements, which required a significant amount of work and investment. to successfully receive their land patent, many homesteaders took loans to fund required improvements and lived frugally to 202

ensure they could successfully meet the five-year residency requirement.'$ Though initially focused on agriculture, homesteading shifted to include ranching. Out of necessity, many homesteads were characterized by multiple economic endeavors. In regions with marginal soils or sparse water, homesteads relied on subsistence agriculture, which included raising livestock, row crops, and orchards. These early homesteaders had to diversify to subsist in hopes of turning a small profit. This changed with the advent of agricultural irrigation in the desert regions of the Coachella Valley where homesteaders could rely on irrigation companies to supply water from surface ditches or groundwater wells.

Subsequent homesteading laws and amendments to the Homestead Act of 1862 changed the requirements to accommodate the realities of life in the arid West by allowing larger plots for farming and stock -only patents, as well as more flexibility in residency requirements which homesteaders to spend periods of time away from the homestead to pursue a second livelihood.19
In 1862, federal land grants were issued to railroad companies to encourage further expansion of the national railroad system. Five alternate odd numbered sections along 10 - mile spans were reserved for the railroads on each side of the line. In 1864, railroad grants were increased to 20 alternate sections for each mile of track, thus reaching far from the rail line. In 1871, Congress ceased issuing railroad grants. Three years after the railroad was completed, unused lands could be sold at $1.25 per acre for settlement and preemption.

Preemption was the right of settling on and improving unappropriated public lands and, later, of buying them at the minimum price without competition.20 The Desert Land Act of 1877 eliminated the requirement for homesteaders to live on the land and increased the acreage that settlers could acquire up to 640 acres. Significantly, the impetus for the Desert Land Act came from California representative John K. Luttrel who sought to speed up privatization of land east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Luttrel was instrumental in obtaining Congressional approval of the Lassen County Land Act of 1875 which expanded acreage for homesteads in Lassen County, California. This was a precursor to the Desert Land Act of 1877 which extended the provisions to other areas in California and other western states.21
Early types of land grants in the Coachella Valley consisted of Desert Land Entries, Homestead Entries, Railroad Grants, Cash Entries, Reclamation Homestead Entries, State Grants, and properties acquired through the Indemnity List. In what is now Rancho Mirage, the first application for a land grant was made just after the turn of the century. In 1912, Everett Knox Da Vall purchased a half -section of land from Southern Pacific Railroad and 203

planted 250 date palms, establishing Wonder Palms Ranch, the first residential property within what is now the City boundaries.22
Interest in homesteading and settlement in Rancho Mirage and the Coachella Valley region area slowed by during and after World War I. Also contributing to the decline was the lack of good lands since many of the prime locations had already been homesteaded. Drought and the post -World War I economic collapse of agricultural and livestock prices further contributed to the decline of homesteading. To combat the decline, Congress adopted several measures in the 1920s to encourage homesteading and to reward veterans for their wartime service.23
Only a fraction of those who attempted to homestead were successful in obtaining a patent on their claims. To obtain a patent on a homestead, a home was required to be built and lived in for a period of five years while a minimum of one -eighth of the land was farmed and improved. The houses constructed under these requirements were often small, single wall construction with wood siding.

Architectural designs for early ranches in the Coachella Valley were built in a variety of forms.

Most were vernacular residences reflecting Spanish Colonial Revival, Minimal Traditional, or early Ranch styles. Remaining photographs of early properties generally support this notion.

All early ranches in Rancho Mirage are no longer extant. Therefore, most information regarding their principal forms and materials of these ranch homes is based on limited photographs and anecdotal evidence.

William Blake's 1853 geological report acclaimed the Coachella Valley's high quality desert soil and attributed the condition to to rich underground aquifer and the warm climate.

Desert farmers saw a new market for their produce and recognized that the region was particularly suited to the cultivation of dates. With federal government assistance in the form of free date seeds to promote this specific crop cultivation, new date tree groves gradually began to dot the landscape.

Everett Da VaII Ranch
The first ranch in present-day Rancho Mirage was built in 1912 by Everett Da Vall, a native of Pennsylvania that migrated to Southern California sometime around the turn of the century.

Da Vall purchased a half section from the railroad at $7.50 an acre.24 He planted 250 free seeds and eventually developed several of his own varieties, including the popular "honey date" that remains a specialty of the Da Vall family growers outside Rancho Mirage in the Coachella Valley.25 Da Vall's ranch property remained under his ownership until circa 1947 when it was acquired by Joseph Blumenfeld who redeveloped the property as the Wonder Palms Hotel and

railroad through the Coachella Valley and technological advancements to aid irrigation, spurred the initial wave of American settlement in the Rancho Mirage area during the late 19th and early 20th century. While Western settlers attempted to carve out properties in the Coachella Valley during that time, local Native American tribes fought to preserve sections of their ancestral territory utilizing the reservation system. While all early homestead buildings from this period have been demolished or replaced within Rancho Mirage, some associated structures and/or outbuildings, may remain undocumented. Any possible extant property types from this context theme will all reflect the first wave of homesteads within the boundaries of Rancho Mirage. Homesteaders often constructed dwellings and outbuildings such as barns, latrines, sheds, stables, cellars, and other structures to support ranching or farming activities, but the associated structures all existed to serve the occupants of the primary residence. Therefore, any remaining extant dwellings and/or outbuildings will be residential in nature.

Significance Thresholds
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, an extant original homestead building or structure dating to Rancho Mirage's era of early railroad and homestead development must be significant under at least one of the following criteria.

NRHP Criterion A/CRHR Criterion 1
A homestead/ranch site or structure dating to the period between 1848 and 1920 may be significant under Criterion A/1 for an individual significant association or representation of the development of Rancho Mirage during the first period of American settlement in the region following the Spanish and Mexican eras.

NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2
A homestead/ranch site or structure in Rancho Mirage that can be documented as the home of an important person in local history such as a prominent leader, pioneer, settler, journalist, trader, homesteader, rancher, or would be significant under Criterion B/2. While some prominent individuals are known, including Everett Da Vall, additional significant individuals may be discovered through further research.

NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3
A site from the Spanish or Mexican eras may be significant under Criterion C/3 as the A homestead/ranch site or structure retaining high levels of integrity of design, materials, 206
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC
December 2025 I Page 67

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
workmanship would convey significance under Criterion C/3 for displaying distinctive characteristics of a late 19th and early 20th century architectural style. Homesteads were most prevalent in the Coachella Valley from the 1880s to the 1910s; therefore, many individually eligible properties would likely be either Adobe or Homestead Vernacular in style.

A notable work of a master builder, architect, or designer would also be significant under Criterion C/3 if the residential property was designed or constructed during the early settlement of Rancho Mirage.

NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4
A homestead property dating to the period between 1848 and 1923 may be significant under Criterion D/4 for its potential to yield important information of scientific value. Any unevaluated and undocumented ruins of homestead sites or structures may be found to be significant using this criterion.

Local Register Criteria
A site or structure, dating between 1848 and 1923, may be significant under Local Register Criterion 1 if it is representative of a late 19th or early 20th century architectural style or reflects special elements of early development period, type, style or way of life important to the City; under Local Register Criterion 2 if it is associated with a business or use which was once common but is now rare or non-existent within the City, such as trading or ranching; under Local Register Criterion 3 if it is representative of the evolution or development or associated with the cultural, religious, educational, political, social or economic growth of the City, county, state or nation, like a site or structure pertaining to the development of an early Coachella Valley homestead or ranch; under Local Register Criterion 4 if it represents the work of a master builder, engineer, designer, artist or architect whose individual genius influenced the Development of the Coachella Valley era; under Local Register Criterion 5 for an association with a historic event person(s) that have made a meaningful contribution to the City, state or nation, like an early trading post; under Local Register Criterion 6 if it has a high potential for yielding information of archaeological interest; under Local Register Criterion 7 if it embodies elements of outstanding or innovative attention to architectural or engineering design, detail, craftsmanship or use of materials; or under Local Register Criterion 8 if it contains an unusual natural feature.

Integrity Considerations
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, a residential property from the initial settlement period must retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance. A residential 207

homestead site that has sufficient integrity will retain most of the character -defining features.

A property nominated under NRHP Criteria A/CRHR Criteria 1 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2 should retain integrity of location, design, feeling, and association, as the physical condition of a site is directly related to connection between a property and a significant individual. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling, as these are critical for a property to embody distinctive characteristics of a style. Some alterations may be acceptable if the property retains its essential features and overall original form. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4 should retain integrity of location, materials, and association.

Regarding integrity considerations for sites potentially eligible for listing in the Local Register, a property nominated under Criteria 1, 4, or 7 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling. A property nominated under Criteria 2, 3, or 5 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. A property nominated under Criteria 6 or 8 should retain integrity location, materials, and association.

In evaluating the integrity of properties that date to Rancho Mirage's early development, general importance is placed on design, materials, and workmanship through retention of character defining features of architectural styles. However, given the rarity of resources in the Coachella Valley that date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, other aspects of integrity could elevate a resource to a significant level even if design, materials, and workmanship are diminished. In these cases, integrity of feeling, association, location, and setting may be of greater importance than design, materials, and workmanship. This is applicable to properties associated with people important in the history of Rancho Mirage or an event that is significant in Rancho Mirage's early development history. Properties that retain materials and workmanship in addition to design should be considered individually significant resources.

Theme 3: Early Agricultural and Residential Period, 1924 - 1950 California has a deserved reputation as a prime location for ranching and agriculture activities. This reputation dates to the earliest era of Spanish and Mexican land grants when Hispanic vaqueros brought ranching culture to Alta California. Americans first traveled west to California to pursue gold and agriculture. Many miners soon realized that even greater fortunes could be made by providing ranching and agricultural products to sustain the mining industry. By the end of the 19th century, California saw increasing specialization of agricultural products and an expansion of agricultural output due to improved technology during the early 20th century. Today, California is a world leader in agricultural production, and the Coachella Valley is one of the state's premier agricultural areas.

With the arrival of the ranchers and developers in the American period, came the beginning of agriculture as an industry in the Rancho Mirage area. One of the requirements of homesteading was that the land must be under cultivation for a period of five years prior to the patenting of the applicant's claim. The biggest challenge was not being able to obtain a permanent source of water, such as a well, on the land and then being able to farm it for five years. Despite the lack of water, the Rancho Mirage climate was ideal for growing dates, and seedless grapes. The high temperatures resulted in rapid growth of crops. With the Southern Pacific Railroad depot located in nearby Indio, farmers had easy access for shipping their crops to the Los Angeles and San Francisco markets. Over time. dates proved to be best suited to the climate and soil conditions of the Rancho Mirage area.28 Dates were first introduced in the United States in 1888 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) although they had been first introduced to the Western Hemisphere by Spanish missionaries. In 1904, the USDA established an experimental agricultural station in the Coachella Valley to promote date production. Production rose from 100,000 pounds in 1919 to 1 million pounds in 1926. Three varieties of commercial dates were commonly grown:

Deglet Noor (date of light), Saidy, and Thoory. Dates yielded a better return per acre than any other branch of agriculture or horticulture.29
Dates can be grown from seed, but the most dependable commercial fruit is produced from proven offshoots or suckers of known varieties. A young palm will produce dates at six years old and be full bearing at ten years. Date palms are not self -pollinating. Pollination must be done by hand, or the fruit will not develop and mature. This created a need for farm laborers in the Coachella Valley.3°
After World War II, the date industry collapsed. Date palms were taken out and replaced 209

with citrus trees on many ranches. During the late 1940s and early 1950s there was a boom in citrus growing, especially grapefruit and tangerines. Besides dates and citrus, grapes were grown in the Rancho Mirage area. Truck crops were limited to the flat areas. In many places, there was too much clay in the soil to grow many crop varieties. The lack of water coupled with undesirable soil conditions forced some farmers to abandon their holdings.

Early Agricultural Ranches in Rancho Mirage
The public land laws in the United States provided a mechanism to transfer land from the public domain - lands owned and controlled by the federal government - to private individuals. These early ranches left a mark on the land and are a key part of the City's history.31 Many early ranches were focused on agriculture and pasturelands, and later evolved into recreation and leisure properties, such as dude ranches and resorts. These dude ranches offered urbanites opportunities to participate in general outdoor and equestrian activities, such as riding and roping within a controlled environment. During the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, guests at dude ranches often stayed in rustic cabins, ate meals in community lodges, swam in on -site pools, and rode along in chuck wagon expeditions. Below are the histories of some of the early ranches in Rancho Mirage, some of which were converted into dude ranches as owners changed over time.

Eleven Mile Ranch
In 1925, William E. Everett established
the second ranch in Rancho Mirage,
calling it Eleven Mile Ranch because of
its location, 11 -miles from both Palm
Springs and Indio in either direction.

The Eleven Mile Ranch was located at
the northeast end of Magnesia Falls
Drive.32 Under Everett's ownership the
ranch produced citrus fruit, grapes,
and dates.33 In 1929, the Eleven Mile
Ranch was sold to the Southland Land
& Realty Company, who planned to
develop it into an Egyptian -styled
subdivision. This speculative vision was
stymied by the Great Depression.34
Between 1932 and 1934, the Eleven

Mile Ranch was operated as the Desert Health School for Children, a center for children with respiratory illnesses.35 The school was spearheaded by entertainer Will Rogers and Dr. Earl Tarr, a Los Angeles -based pediatrician.36 The conversion of the ranch to a health center was reflective of the larger movement in the Coachella Valley to promote the benefits of the warm and dry climate.

By 1946, ownership of the former Eleven Mile Ranch passed to Jack and Helen Dengler, who turned the property into the White Sun Guest Ranch. They operated the property as a guest ranch until 1980, when they sold the property to Holiday Haven Promotions, who operated the property for one year under the name of the Lost World Resort.37 In 1981, Dennis Schroeder purchased the property and renamed it as The New Lost World Country Club & Resort, a popular resort that remained open into the late 1980s. By 1990, the resort property had been condemned, and the property was destroyed in a fire in 1999.38 Soon thereafter, the White Sun Estates residential community was constructed on the former Eleven Mile Ranch property.

Rancho De/ So/
In 1924, Los Angeles developers R. P. "Bert" Davie of Santa Monica and E. E. McIntyre purchased several hundred acres of land in the Magnesia Falls area from the railroad with the intention of subdividing it into 10 -acre farms geared towards "gentlemen farmers." They sold many of these parcels to friends and business peers in Santa Monica. To make the area accessible, Davie laid out a road connecting Magnesia Falls with the Eleven Mile Ranch and the Bradshaw Highway, lined it with palm trees, and named it the "Rio del Sol", now Bob Hope Drive. Many of Davie's Santa Monica friends became the first residents of the "Rancho del Sol Estates," now known as the Clancy Lane neighborhood.39 L. M. and Helen Clancy of Los Angeles built the first Rancho del Sol property in 1932. In the tradition of the earliest settlers in the Palm Springs area, the Clancy's built an adobe home on their property and planted grapefruit, dates, and grapes.40 The home is no longer extant, but another adobe home built in 1938 at 72-010 Clancy Lane associated with the Clancy family and it is still extant at the northeast corner of Bob Hope Drive and Clancy Lane. This home is associated with Frank B.

Clancy, a real estate developer, and his son, Robert Leslie Clancy, who both lived at the home.

Nittinger House
Water was supplied to the Rancho del Sol Estates by wells and delivered via pipes provided by Santa Monica plumbing shop proprietor, Earl P. Nittinger, who also purchased property in the Rancho del Sol Estates. He built a Vernacular Ranch style home at 72-1 16 Clancy Lane 211

in 1934. Tike the rest of the neighborhood, the property also included date palms.41 In 1950, Earl Nittinger married Verna N. Smith, who continued to live at 72-1 16 Clancy Lane after Earl died in 1956.42 The home was eventually demolished and replaced in 2004.

Rancho Chiquito
North of Clancy Lane, also within the Rancho Del Sol Estates, the Follansbee family built three houses in the 1930s, each built with river rock exterior walls and Mediterranean Revival elements. The 10 -acre Follansbee date farm was located at 72-1 16 Follansbee Road. In 2003, the main house and many of the date palms were still extant, but the house was threatened by development. In 2004, the City of Rancho Mirage facilitated relocation of the Follansbee House to the Rancho Mirage Community Park, where it is located today in special recognition as the oldest existing home in Rancho Mirage.43 Red Roof Ranch
In 1937, John Warburton, an English film star, with his wife Ruth, purchased the Red Roof Ranch from Philip Boyd, Palm Springs' first mayor. The Warburton's cultivated grapes, dates, and onions while they lived there and when the couple divorced, Ruth retained ownership.

In 1950, she sold the property to Thunderbird Country Club, to provide additional land for the golf course under construction on 663 acres of Thunderbird Ranch.44 Thunderbird Ranch
On December 15, 1946, Frank Bogert, with several corporate magnates as backers, opened the Thunderbird Ranch on 663 acres of land in Section 1 1 , north of Magnesia Falls Cove, that he had purchased for $34,000 earlier that year. Thunderbird featured twenty-two ranch style cabins, forty horse stalls, and a western style clubhouse designed by Pasadena architect Gordon Kaufmann, which was arranged around a large pool.45 It catered to Hollywood residents wanting to experience a western -style vacation with horseback riding, shooting, and chuck wagon meals. The film, Two Guys From Texas, was filmed at Thunderbird Ranch in 1947.46 The ranch operated until 1950, when amateur golfer Johnny Dawson, with a group of investors that included Texas oilman D. B. McDaniels, Colorado governor Dan Thornton, tire company founder Leonard Firestone, and Hollywood celebrities, such as Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Randolph Scott, Phil Harris, Alice Faye, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, and Ralph Kiner, bought Thunderbird Ranch from Bogert with the intention of building the first 18 -hole golf course in Palm Springs. The Thunderbird Country Club was opened in 1951. The property does not retain any elements of the original ranch.47

Early Residential Subdivisions
Residential development in Rancho Mirage began slowly due to the lingering effects of the Great Depression and the general lack of construction materials caused by WWII. Local real estate developers made extensive plans for subdivisions as early as 1925, but their visions were not fully realized until after the war ended. A limited number of early homes were built within subdivisions during the 1930s and 1940s, the first boom in development came after the first country clubs in Rancho Mirage finally opened in the early 1950s, using the recreation and leisure industry to drive real estate investment.

Rancho Mirage Tract at Magnesia Falls Cove
In 1934, Louis Blankenhorn, a Pasadena native and the owner of the Smoke Tree Ranch in Palm Springs, purchased the defunct Southland Land & Realty Company subdivision and several hundred more acres to the west in the Magnesia Falls Cove area. He began selling lots to prospective buyers that same year.48

Blankenhorn enlisted sales director Laurence Macomber to develop and market "modern attractive small homes" designed by Pasadena architects Van Pelt & Lind, a firm that employed the desert -based designers John Porter Clark and Albert Frey, both recognized as Master Architects today. The Van Pelt & Lind homes were four to six rooms on 100 by 100- 213

foot lots. Described as "Early American" style in the February 27, 1937 edition of Pasadena Star -News, the original homes that remain appear to incorporate elements of the Minimal Traditional and Spanish Colonial Revival aesthetic. While John Porter Clark and Albert Frey were the credited designers, Frey was mostly in New York at the time, suggesting that Clark took a larger part in developing the house designs.49
To market the homes, Blankenhorn, Macomber, and local realtor Don Cameron, settled on calling the new subdivision "Rancho Mirage", after a suggestion from Blankenhorn's wife Ruth.5° Early advertisements, including the aforementioned February 1937 Pasadena Star - News article, advertised Rancho Mirage as just "15 minutes from Palm Springs", with "one hour more sunshine" than Palm Springs, and "the finest water system in the valley." By February 1937, six homes had been built in Rancho Mirage with several more lots purchased in anticipation of development. One of the earliest homes was that of Frank Morgan, the actor who portrayed the wizard in The Wizard of Oz.51 Morgan built his house in 1939 at 71- 845 Sahara Road.

In 1944, a Hollywood attorney named A. Ronald Button bought the Rancho Mirage subdivision and expanded its holdings further into the cove where the original subdivision was platted. Button was a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School. After law school he became a corporate and business lawyer who represented many prominent film stars in divorce cases. Button also became known for his impressive political connections.

During a trip out to Palm Springs with his daughter Barbara, Button drove by the budding subdivision and saw development potential. Following his trip, he began buying acreage throughout the Magnesia Falls Cove and started developing speculative homes, selling lots to individuals, and selling lots to developers to build tract style houses. Early investors included celebrities such as Hedy Lamarr, who built her home at 72-424 Desert Drive in 1946.52 Button partnered with actor Dave Culver in 1945 to develop additional subdivisions and construct new apartment complexes, with land purchases amounting to almost 2,000 acres total. Button, who was selling homes throughout the late -1940s and early -1950s, established the Rancho Mirage Realty Company in 1954. His plan was to build a new city, which required more investors. To that end, he partnered briefly with his brother-in-law, the radio and TV personality Art Linkletter from 1956 to 1958, to develop more modern Contemporary style homes. During this time, Button built a house for himself at 42-730 Dunes View Road, which was completed in 1957. Between 1956 and 1959, Button served as the California State Treasurer, during which time he left the management of his Rancho Mirage developments to Mel Anderson. After his term ended, Button resumed his role in developing the community and headed the Rancho Mirage Community Association until 1965. Ronald Button sold most 214

Associated Property Types
The Early Agricultural and Residential Period theme spans the time from the first subdivision in Rancho Mirage until the establishment of country clubs in the mid -20th century.

Residential Farm and Ranch Buildings
Because agricultural and ranching houses are much like all other houses in California built from the 1920s to the 1950s, they share similar character -defining features. Their shape, form, massing, orientation, and decoration are like most farmhouses built during the 20th century.

Rural dwellings are like their urban counterparts in virtually all aspects. In general, agricultural and ranching residences are normally unhindered by land restrictions and are usually oriented with their broad elevations facing the road. Wings often extend to the rear as well, usually reflecting the growing farm family over several generations and the increasing need 215

for more room.

Agricultural and ranching residences must possess most of the following character defining features listed below.
• Continued residential use; the house must still function as a residence and maintain a residential use (single/multi-family or housing of some kind). • Original rural residential setting: the house must predominantly retain its historic rural residential setting. If a house began as an isolated rural farmhouse on 300 acres of open land, it must retain some feeling and association with the rural setting even if the parcel is now reduced in size.
• All key features must also survive essentially intact: doors, windows, roofs, trim.

Acceptable losses include a single window or door replacement, replacement of roof materials, and minor alterations to the rear or secondary elevations such as some covering of materials for purposes of an addition or porch. • Residential -related interior space relationships and major features such as parlors, staircases, and sleeping rooms must survive essentially intact.

Agricultural and Ranch Outbuildings
As rural agricultural outbuildings and support structures were designed with a singular use and function, the original use of these structures is clearly reflected in their exterior appearance. Rural agricultural buildings and structures are also defined by their original function. They are buildings, including barns, silos and granaries, packing sheds, and equipment sheds, built to fulfill a specific and, typically, singular purpose. While the purposes of agricultural and ranching outbuildings and structures may seem minor in some ways, they were critical to the smooth function of the farm or ranch property. As such, the rural farm/ranch setting is an essential character -defining feature.

Agricultural and ranching outbuildings must possess most of the following character defining features listed below.
• Continued original use; the property must still function in its original use. However, because the original use may no longer be necessary in the same fashion on a modern farm or ranch, this attribute is less important than for properties whose original function continues in modern practice.
• Original rural setting: for individually nominated properties or properties within districts, the property must exist in its historic rural setting. If the agricultural/ranch outbuilding or structure was constructed in a rural area as part of a farm complex, it cannot now have lost that farm setting. Even if the original farm/ranch parcel has been reduced 216

in size, it must retain some feeling and association with the rural setting. • All key features must also survive essentially intact: doors, windows, roofs, trim.

However, some minor loss of integrity including alterations to window and door materials, new roof materials, compatible additions, minimal additional wall openings, and compatible mortar repair is acceptable.
• The agricultural/ranch outbuilding or structure must still be in a good and usable condition.

Single -Family Residences
Residential development attached to ranches, resorts, and subdivisions from 1924 through the 1950 chiefly consisted of single-family homes developed with Spanish, Minimal Traditional, Ranch, and Contemporary styles.

Early single-family residences across Rancho Mirage were constructed on either undeveloped lots or previous faming/ranching acreage. Some of the earliest homes in the community were built within the new Rio Del Sol subdivision, the "Rancho Mirage" (Magnesia Falls Cove) subdivision, or on what was previously Eleven Mile Ranch. Early residential properties were built with largely Spanish Styled Ranch, Tract Ranch, Custom Ranch, and Contemporary styles.

Single-family residences constructed during the early development of the community, between the establishment of Rio Del Sol and the development of Thunderbird Country Club in 1950, generally exhibit the following character defining features listed below. • One or two stories
• Early and mid-century architectural styles - Spanish Colonial Revival, Minimal Traditional, Tract Ranch, Contemporary, Custom Ranch, Post and Beam, and International
• Private driveways
• Attached or detached garages or carports
• Gable, hipped, or flat roofing forms
• Large windows
Significance Thresholds
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, a property dating to Rancho Mirage's Early Agricultural and Residential Period must be significant under at least one of the following criteria.
217
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC
December 2025 I Page 78

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
NRHP Criterion A/CRHR Criterion 1
Agriculture or ranching properties dating to the period between 1900 and the 1970s may be significant under Criterion A/1 for an individual significant association or representation of agriculture/ranching and/or residential development in Rancho Mirage. Prominent or large properties with notable historic associations to the broad patterns of agricultural or residential settlement are considered eligible.

NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2
Agricultural and/or residential properties in Rancho Mirage that can be documented as associated with an important person in local history such as a prominent leader, pioneer, settler, developer, homesteader, rancher or would be significant under Criterion B/2. While some prominent individuals are known including William E. Everett, L. M. Clancy, Helen Clancy, Frank B. Clancy, Louis Blankenhorn, Laurence Macomber, Don Cameron, A. Ronald Button, Art Linkletter, Dave Culver, R. P. "Bert" Davie, John Warburton, Frank Bogert, Dr. Earl Tarr, Jack Dengler, Helen Dengler, Dennis Schroeder, E. E. McIntyre, Earl P. Nittinger, Frank Morgan, or Hedy Lamarr, additional significant individuals may be discovered through further research.

NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3
Agricultural and/or residential properties retaining high levels of integrity of design, materials, workmanship would convey significance under Criterion C/3 for displaying distinctive characteristics of early to mid -20th century architectural styles. Ranches and single-family residences were most prevalent in the Coachella Valley during the 1920s to the 1950s; therefore, many individually eligible properties would likely either be Spanish Colonial Revival, Minimal Traditional, Tract Ranch, Contemporary, Custom Ranch, Post and Beam, or International styles. Ranching properties would also be significant under Criterion C/3 if they represented key aspects of ranching or agricultural design and construction. Early homes built in subdivisions would be considered significant under Criterion C/3 if they retain sufficient integrity to convey their character defining features.

NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4
Archaeological resources related to agriculture or ranching dating to the period between 1924 and 1950 may be significant under Criterion D/4 for their potential to yield important information of scientific value. Any unevaluated and undocumented ruins of agricultural or 218
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC
December 2025 I Page 79

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
ranching properties may be found to be significant using this criterion.

Loca/ Register Criteria
A building, structure, object, or site, dating between 1924 and 1950, may be significant under Local Register Criterion 1 if it is representative of an early 20th or mid -20th century architectural style or reflects special elements of early residential period, type, style or way of life important to the City; under Local Register Criterion 2 if it is associated with a business or use which was once common but is now rare or non-existent within the City, such as ranching; under Local Register Criterion 3 if it is representative of the evolution or development or associated with the cultural, religious, educational, political, social or economic growth of the City, county, state or nation, like a property pertaining to the development of early Coachella Valley ranching or subdivision development; under Local Register Criterion 4 if it represents the work of a master builder, engineer, designer, artist or architect whose individual genius influenced the Ear/y Agricultural and Residential Period; under Local Register Criterion 5 for an association with a historic event person(s) that have made a meaningful contribution to the City, state or nation, like an early ranching property or early subdivision property; under Local Register Criterion 6 if it has a high potential for yielding information of archaeological interest; under Local Register Criterion 7 if it embodies elements of outstanding or innovative attention to architectural or engineering design, detail, craftsmanship or use of materials; or under Local Register Criterion 8 if it contains an unusual natural feature.

Integrity Considerations
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, an agricultural/ranching property or a residential property from the 1924 to 1950 period must retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance. An agriculture or ranching property that has sufficient integrity will retain most of the character -defining features and will:
• Present appearance resembles the original appearance and retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its historical association with a significant event or individual. • Retains a significant number of character -defining features, such that the visual, spatial, and contextual relationships of the property may be understood. • Enough original materials should be intact such that the historic fabric, character, and overall visual effect have been preserved.
• Alterations may be acceptable if minimal.
• Some individual design features may have been modified, altered, or replaced. 219

Theme 4: Country Club Era, 1951 - 1973
In the late 19th century, many settlers and homesteaders in the Coachella Valley were initially attracted to the desert for the health benefits associated with arid climates to alleviate respiratory and arthritic ailments. Others sought settlement in the Coachella Valley for quiet refuge and relaxation in relative solitude compared to nearby cities and towns.

Over the course of the 20th century, the hospitality industry capitalized on the allure of desert solitude and built hotels and resorts throughout the Coachella Valley for the wealthy elite.

As a result, establishments in the Coachella Valley, specifically in the Rancho Mirage area, regularly hosted tourists, celebrities, and other wealthy individuals drawn to the advertised charm and beauty of the desert. Over time, the high -profile clientele attracted a more middle-class demographic that became drawn to Rancho Mirage for the same reasons: its relative isolation, burgeoning country club communities, and growing recreational opportunities.

With the success of the early country clubs, the Rancho Mirage quickly became the new "golf capital of the world" attracting attention through high -profile memberships from the corporate and entertainment spheres. and hosting prominent new tournaments. High profile visitors, such as President Dwight D. Eisenhower, brought additional publicity and new inventions like the golf cart added to the growing reputations of the Rancho Mirage clubs as cutting -edge golfing establishments.54
The development of country clubs coincided with the construction of custom residential and commercial properties within their boundaries. Booming post -WWII development within these country clubs helped shape what is now commonly referred to as 'Desert Modernism', a distinct sub -type of the International style of architecture that incorporated modern materials, techniques, and floor plans with the unique requirements of building within a desert environment. The typical characteristics of Desert Modernism included large expanses of floor -to -ceiling glass walls sheltered by deep overhangs extending from flat roofs and flowing interior floor plans that merged gracefully with the outdoors. Often oriented to the rear, where most decorative flourishes could be visible from the adjacent fairways, Desert Modernist houses in Rancho Mirage often featured unassuming front elevations designed with privacy in mind, with only clerestories and obscured glass panels adjacent to the entries providing light. These houses were often light, with roofs floating above glass walls and clerestories, and ceilings supported by thin steel or wood posts. In addition to glass, exterior materials included stucco, wood, slump stone, and natural rock that often mirrored the desert environment.55 Swimming pools with expansive golf course views were typical at the rear elevation.

The Desert Air Hotel
In 1936, Los Angeles
architect Henry "Hank"
Gogerty purchased 10 -
acres near the end of the
Rio del Sol road (now Bob
Hope Drive) south of the Rio
del Sol farms on the
opposite side of the
Whitewater River. Gogerty
began building a house,
which he finished in 1939.

After the completion of his
home, he began buying
adjoining acreage,
eventually amassing approximately 600 acres. Gogerty was a licensed pilot that often flew his own planes between Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley, prompting his interest to build a runway and airpark. By 1946, he had purchased an additional 320 acres for the airstrip. Gogerty moved Army surplus barracks onto the property from a military installation in nearby Beaumont, CA. This would later become the Desert Air Hotel.56 Figure 26. Desert Air Hotel Restaurant, ca. 1951.
(Rancho Mirage at Fifty Book, Source: City of Rancho in partnership with Desert Publications, Inc.)
Opened in 1951, the Desert Air Hotel featured rental cottages, a restaurant, a swimming pool, and a polo field that also served as a second runway. The hotel quickly became popular with aviation -minded celebrities such as Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, James Stewart, and Edgar Bergen, who all used the airstrip. Other celebrity visitors included Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe, along with political figures like Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.

In the 1950s, the resort was used for filming the Bob Cummings Show.57 Gogerty sold the Desert Air Hotel in 1968 to a group of Chicago based investors who removed the airstrip and installed a new 18 -hole golf course, which opened in 1969 with the updated name of the Desert Air Hotel and Golf Club.58 Between 1969 and 1975, the new ownership installed eight new condominium buildings along Rio del Sol, built around a central pool and attached to the golf course. In 1976, the golf course was replaced with the Rancho Las Palmas Country Club.59 The following year as part of a separate joint project between Marriott and the Sunrise Corporation, the original buildings associated with Desert Air Hotel and restaurant, in the northwest corner of the property along Rio del Sol Road and 222

the Whitewater River, were demolished and replaced with a Marriott hotel called the Rancho Las Palmas Resort, now the Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa.60 In 1980-1981, the Rancho Las Palmas Shopping Center was built immediately south of the old Desert Air Hotel developments along the Rio del Sol. The Rancho Las Palmas Country Club annexed the eight Desert Air Hotel and Golf Club condominiums and swimming pool from the early 1970s into its gated community, and they are still extant off Desert Air Drive.

Thunderbird Country Club
Built on the former Thunderbird Ranch property, the Thunderbird Country Club is the site of the first 18 -hole golf course in the Coachella Valley. Designed by golf course architect Lawrence Hughes, the club officially opened on January 9, 1951, when owner Johnny Dawson and Lawrence Hughes were the first to tee off using ceremonial golf balls.61 Early investors and the first club members were offered lots along the fairways to construct their own custom houses. Phil Harris, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, songwriter Hoagy Carmichael, and Leonard Firestone were some of the first buyers.62 Notable local architect William F. Cody, today recognized as a Master, was hired to remodel the guest ranch buildings and construct 14 cottages for member use. Professional golfer Jimmy Hines became an early member of the golf club, which helped further boost the course's notoriety.63 Figure 27. Thunderbird Country Club Entrance Sign.

In 1951, Thunderbird Country Club developed the first motorized golf cart. Created by Eddie Susalla, an Associate Golf Professional at Thunderbird, the cart was a re -tooled motorized cart he acquired in Long Beach to carry golf equipment. These early golf carts were three - wheeled with two seats and a small truck to hold clubs. In 1953, Susalla developed a four - wheeled version, which quickly replaced the early models throughout the club. In 1954, club member Ernest Breech, Chairman of the Ford Motor Company, was looking for a name for a new car model and settled on `Thunderbird' after the country club. With the club's permission, Ford was permitted to use the name and the first Ford Thunderbird produced was presented to the club in 1955. That same year, the Thunderbird Country Club gained additional publicity when it hosted the Ryder Cup.64 Also in 1955, William Cody was commissioned again for work in the country club, this time for Lou Manseau, founder of Thunderbird Realty, to design four homes and a community pool at the north of the club off the 10th fairway along Country Club Drive.65
Over time, Thunderbird Country Club has maintained an association with prominent public figures. Notable politicians such as Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gerald Ford became members, and many other presidents have visited since the 1950s.66 Today, the Thunderbird Country Club retains most of its original buildings and structures. Many of the original custom homes for members constructed in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s are extant. 12 of the original 14 cottages designed by William Cody are also intact. The country club grounds have not been expanded or extensively remodeled, apart from the clubhouse which has been regularly remodeled and expanded, first in 1960, then in 1982, and most recently in 2004.67
Tamarisk Country Club
In 1952, one year after the Thunderbird Country Club opened, San Francisco real estate developer and theater owner Joseph Blumenfeld bought the property with plans to create the Tamarisk Country Club.68 Blumenfeld was already the owner of the adjacent Wonder Palms Hotel and Guest Ranch and sought to create a high -end golf club.69 Blumenfeld organized a group of 65 investors, including high profile members like Jack Benny, George Burns, Danny Kaye, Sol Lessor, and the Marx Brothers. Blumenfeld hired golf course architect William Bell to design the course and successfully attracted many of the first members from the Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. Ben Hogan was hired as the premier golf professional for the course. The course opened in February 1952. William Cody designed the original clubhouse at the Tamarisk Golf Club, but the building was demolished and replaced in 1983.7°

In 1954, President Eisenhower visited the Tamarisk Country Club and the Thunderbird Country Club, lending prominence to Rancho Mirage as a premiere golfing destination that would later be known as the "Playground of the Presidents".71 That same year, Frank Sinatra bought five lots along Tamarisk's 17th fairway where he commissioned William Cody to construct a walled compound for Sinatra and his friends. Completed in 1957, additions and improvements to the compound were completed through 1998.72 In 1960, Tamarisk Country Club, along with Thunderbird Country Club, Bermuda Dunes Country Club, and Indian Wells Country Club, became the founding four courses of the Palm Springs Golf Classic, later renamed to the Bob Hope Desert Classic. Today, the Tamarisk Country Club has more than 110 historic -era homes surrounding the fairway grounds.73 Despite the changes to the original clubhouse, the course retains its original configuration from 1952.

Other Private Clubs and Estates
From 1951 to the incorporation of the City of Rancho Mirage in 1973, other private country clubs opened within the city limits. While important to solidifying the Coachella Valley as a premier golfing location, these later country clubs did not achieve the same cultural impact as Thunderbird Country Club and Tamarisk Country Club.

Sunnylands, The Annenberg Estate
Like the other private country clubs developed during this period, the development of the Annenberg Estate had a lasting effect on establishing Rancho Mirage as a unique desert community. Although it was built as a single-family compound, the massive estate and the family that founded it shaped the development of Rancho Mirage and fostered its association with powerful political figures. Though not a country club, the Annenberg Estate functioned like a private club for guests of the Annenberg family for much of its history until it opened to the public in 2012.

While living in Philadelphia, Walter and Leonore Annenberg visited their friends Harriet and Armand Deutsch in La Quinta and other acquaintances at the Tamarisk Country Club.

Annenberg was the publisher of the Philadelphia Inquirer and president of Triangle Publications, who produced the TV Guide, Daily Racing Form, and Seventeen Magazine.

While golfing at the Tamarisk Country Club, Walter and Leonore noted that a plot of undeveloped land east of the club might also make an ideal location for another golf course. To achieve this end, the Annenbergs decided to build their own private residence amongst the fairways. They purchased 200 acres from the First American Title Insurance & Trust Company in 1963 who, under Trust No. P-76, had owned the property since 1942, when they acquired it from Louis E. Golan.74
Located at 71-800 Wonder Palms Road, at the northwest corner of Wonder Palms Road and Rio del Sol (present-day Frank Sinatra Drive and Bob Hope Drive), the Annenberg Estate, named Sunnylands, was designed by Master Architects A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons. In 1964, the Desert Sun announced that the vast home, which cost $540,875, was completed. Sunnylands included the 32,000 square feet main house, a guest quarters, 12 manmade lakes, and a nine -green, 18 -tee golf course. The home was built to reflect Japanese and Mayan influences with the principal building covered by a large monitor roof.

Within the home, the interior design was headed by notable designers Billy Haines and Ted Graber.75 Designed by Dick Wilson, the Sunnylands golf course opened in 1965.76 An avid art collector, philanthropist, and important Republican supporter, Walter Annenberg was appointed Ambassador to the United Kingdom by President Nixon. Leonore Annenberg served President Reagan and the First Lady as White House Chief of Protocol. While maintaining their primary residence in Philadelphia, at Sunnylands, the Annenbergs hosted prominent public figures, statesmen, and executives, including multiple United States presidents and British royalty.77 The Annenberg's also opened their home to benefit the local community, hosting major contributors to the Palm Springs Desert Museum in 1974, where Leonore became president of the board of trustees. In 1985, Sunnylands hosted a fundraiser for the Eisenhower Medical Center, resulting in a $30 million capital -improvement campaign. Walter and Leonore Annenberg gave hundreds of millions of dollars to various causes within the Coachella Valley. In Rancho Mirage they donated approximately $125 million for the creation and operation of Eisenhower Medical Center, donated 6.25 acres and money to Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert, and contributed $2 million for building the Rancho Mirage Public Library on Highway 111. They also served on boards and committees of public -serving organizations. Walter Annenberg died in 2002, and Leonore died in 2009. In 2012, their Rancho Mirage home opened to the public as Sunnylands Center & Gardens, offering tours of the estate, exhibitions of their enormous art collections, and 226

various regular programming events. The golf course, which has evolved since the 1980s, remains private, but is still frequented by U.S. Presidents and other dignitaries on a regular basis.78
Desert Island Country Club
First established in 1971, the Desert Island Country Club was initially named the Desert National Country Club and was built as a private member -only course by the Winmar Company, Inc, a subsidiary of the Safeco Corporation from Seattle. Walter Sibbert served as the president of the club and was also vice president of the Winmar Company. The Desert Island Country Club was built on 160 acres at the southwest corner of the intersection of Bob Hope Drive and Frank Sinatra Drive, south of Sunnylands.

The property was constructed with an island of 350 condominium units in the center of the golf course surrounded by a 25 -acre lake with a 20,000 square foot central clubhouse. The clubhouse was completed in 1971 and the original condominium units, built across two building complexes, were completed in 1972 and 1975. Opened in 1972, the course was designed by renowned golf course architect Desmond Muirhead. William Martin served as first golf professional for the Desert Island Country Club.79 In 1980, a third condominium building, housing 99 units, was constructed on the island north of the first two buildings.

Today, the original clubhouse appears to retain much of its original design elements and configuration. The Desert Island Country Club remained private and closed to the public until 2022, when the course and clubhouse was opened to the public.

Mission Hills Country Club
In 1965, Max Genet Jr., a U.S. Marine pilot turned developer, approached the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians to establish lease agreements for a 640 -acre plot of land to build what would become the Mission Hills Country Club. In 1968, golf course architect Desmon Muirhead began designing and overseeing construction of the first course at the Mission Hills Country Club. In 1969, Heathman Construction of Palm Springs began building the first 50 homes and the original clubhouse. In 1971, the Mission Hills Country Club officially opened.80 The same year, David Foster, president and CEO of the Colgate-Palmolive Company, announced that a new Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tournament would be hosted by popular singer and actress Dinah Shore at the Mission Hills Country Club. Ms. Shore hosted Dina's Place, a popular daytime talk show that was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive.

In 1972, Jane Blalock won the first Colgate -Dinah Shore Circle tournament, now known at the Chevron Championship. Following the success of the golf tournament, the Colgate - 227

Palmolive Company acquired the Mission Hills Country Club in 1974. During the 1970s and 1980s additional homes were built within club boundaries. In 1978, professional golfer Arnold Palmer designed a course at the Mission Hills Country Club west of the original course. This was the first of many courses designed by Mr. Palmer in the Coachella Valley. At the Mission Hills Country Club, the Arnold Palmer Signature Course opened in 1979. In 1981, Landmark purchased the club and set about updating the property including demolition of the original clubhouse in 1985 and replacing it with a much larger facility that opened the next year.

Today, the Mission Hills Country Club remains a private club, hosting prominent golf tournaments regularly.81
Associated Property Types
In the 1950s, the resort industry in Rancho Mirage began the process of replacing undeveloped land and agricultural properties with lavish country clubs catered to wealthy patrons, snowbird residents, and retirees who all sought quiet seclusion within residential developments attached to the golf courses. The golfing industry created some of the early commercial properties in Rancho Mirage, after the prevalence of dude ranches declined, and it spurred the construction of single-family residences and condominiums. The growth of the golfing industry was rapid following the completion of the Thunderbird Country Club in 1951 through incorporation of the City of Rancho Mirage in 1973. The Desert Hotel, Thunderbird Country Club, Tamarisk Country Club, Desert Island Country Club, and Mission Hills Country Club were the major clubs built between 1951 and 1973 in Rancho Mirage.

These communities rapidly transformed the fabric of the community from a rural town to a premier golfing destination. Rancho Mirage experienced more resort development during the following decades as developers continued to build on the model first introduced by Thunderbird Country Club. Properties related to the development of country clubs in Rancho Mirage are both residential and commercial in nature.

Single -Family Residences
Residential properties attached to country clubs and resorts from 1951 through 1973 consisted of single-family homes and condos developed with Tract Ranch, Custom Ranch, Contemporary, Post and Beam, International, and Desert Modern styles.

Single-family residences within Thunderbird Country Club were constructed on property that was formerly a part of the Thunderbird Ranch and similar homes were constructed within Tamarisk Golf Club on land that was previously a part of the Da Vall Ranch and the Wonder Palms Hotel and Guest Ranch. Homes built within both country clubs were exclusively custom 228

designs featuring Contemporary, Post and Beam, International, or desert Modern styles.

Following the success of both clubs, developers built more single-family homes and condominiums within the Desert Island Country Club and the Mission Hills Country Club in the 1970s largely utilizing Spanish Styled Ranch, Tract Ranch, and International styles.

Tamarisk Country Club, Desert Island Country Club, and Mission Hills Country Club properties occurred on previously undeveloped land or former agricultural/ranching property. The commercial resort buildings at these properties all originally consisted of golf clubhouses and club facilities for additional amenities. The commercial buildings and structures constructed during this period largely reflected the mid -20th century modernistic style variations. The Desert Air Hotel restaurant had a unique Streamline Moderne style circular floorplan. The original clubhouses at Thunderbird and Tamarisk, both designed by William Cody, exhibited early Desert Modernist style elements before the clubs instituted significant additions and alterations. The 1971 Desert Island clubhouse still exhibits International style elements, but the Mission Hills clubhouse was demolished and replaced in 1985. Its original style remains unclear.

Commercial properties constructed in Rancho Mirage during the early development of the golfing industry, between the initial construction of the Thunderbird Country Club in 1951 through 1973, exhibit the following character defining features listed below. • One or more stories (usually one to two) in height
• Mid-century architectural styles - Contemporary, Post and Beam, International, or Desert Modern styles

Theme 5: Residential and Cooperative Communities, 1951 - 1973
The development of country clubs in Rancho Mirage set the stage for the transition of the area from a desert retreat, catering to leisure activities for high profile seasonal elite, to an established Coachella Valley community filled with tight -knit residential communities.

Subdivision development in the post -WWII era began with projects that were often immediately adjacent to, or bounded by, established country clubs, advertising the ease of access to these clubs and the option to buy memberships. At the same time, smaller cooperative communities were also built within Rancho Mirage, each distinguished by exclusive -use community amenities like shared pools, gardens, and regular maintenance.

These new co-op apartment communities appealed to middle class buyers who could own their own apartments, later reclassified as condominiums, at a fraction of the cost of a custom-built detached home, while still enjoying exclusive community -wide facilities, like clubhouses and pools.

The trend in cooperative housing communities was partially as result of the Federal government taking steps to foster ownership of cooperative forms of housing during World War II . In 1942, the Federal government extended the deductibility of mortgage interest and real estate taxes to cooperative homeownership. As during World War I, this was a war effort to combat material shortages that resulted in a reduced supply of single-family housing.

Encouragement of multifamily housing had the needed result, and for the first time had an impact in the Southwestern United States where war industry expanded.

In the post war era, several post war cooperative developments were already pioneered before California adopted its condominium laws in 1963 and early efforts by developers had individual owners granted their own deed to their apartment. The use of the phrase "own your own" in these communities appealed to older, wealthier buyers who wanted control over their real estate investment without the responsibility of individual upkeep and maintenance activities. As such, this concept was both an appeal to the benefits of cooperative apartments of the past that were common in the east and looked forward to as condominium ownership became available in California after the adoption of a statutory framework. These changes after World War II created a niche for developers to exploit.

The passage on June 10, 1961, of Section 234 of the National Housing Act, or Horizontal Property Act (HPA), laid the groundwork for the development of joint home ownership and gave rise to the advent of condominiums in the United States.82 Between 1955 and 1961, multifamily housing increased from 8.4% to 26.3% of all housing in the United States. At the 233

same time single-family housing during this period fell by 37 percent. The passage of the 1961 Act, however, resulted in a surge of condominium development, which was a new housing concept compared to its predecessors (apartments, cooperatives, and townhouses).83 Cooperative housing communities in Rancho Mirage typically sold modest sized single-family residences or apartments, usually all constructed by the same cooperation and/or architect, with some aspect of shared community fees and ownership. This usually came in the form of shared facilities. Single-family residences or condominiums with added amenities were designed to be individually owned with some shared upkeep expenses for communal facilities. Communities with apartments, like Desert Braemar allowed residents to sign protracted leasing agreements.

More traditional single-family residence subdivisions constructed during the country club era outside of the early clubs in Rancho Mirage varied in size and scope. Some were solely residential tracts, designed to attract wealthier clientele inclined to design their own custom homes within private gated neighborhoods. These communities often did not come with shared facilities and were largely or completely inhabited by members of nearby country clubs. Some early residential subdivision communities established in Rancho Mirage were also constructed under unique circumstances or were never fully realized, with only a handful of model homes completed.

Thunderbird Heights
Developed as a continuation of the Thunderbird Country Club in the early 1950s, the Thunderbird Heights gated community was originally named Thunderbird Ranch and Country Club Estates.84 It was originally marketed as a continuation of the Thunderbird Country Club with a gated entrance at the base of Bradley Canyon. One of the earliest homes built within Thunderbird Heights was Bing Crosby's residence at 70-375 Calico Road, which was completed in 1952. Like Crosby, subsequent owners built their own custom homes on large parcels across the gated neighborhood in the 1950s through 1970s, designing houses that optimized views overlooking the Coachella Valley and Thunderbird Country Club below. Many of the elaborate homes in this community were designed by notable architects of the time and many display hallmark features of Desert Modernism.

Valley of the Sun
Located north of Cypress Lane around two cul-de-sacs called Sandsu Circle and Sandsal Circle, the Valley of the Sun tract was built in 1957-1958 and was the first residential subdivision built in the vicinity of the Tamarisk Country Club. Valley of the Sun includes 15 homes 234

Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
designed by Master Architects Dan Palmer and William Krisel, who formed a partnership in 1949 and finished their Smoke Tree Valley project (now Twin Palms Estates) in Palm Springs prior to initiating work on Valley of the Sun.85 Builder George M. Holstein & Sons began construction in the summer of 1957, including 12 homes along the cul-de-sacs and three on Palomino Lane. The Palmer & Krisel designs were all post -and -beam construction with varying rooflines, glass walls, exterior rock facades, and exposed beam ceilings.86 The designs mirrored those found in Twin Palms Estates, offering different variations of similar plans. By March 1959, all 15 homes were sold, and most remain extant in good condition today.

Tamarisk 10th Fairway Ranch/Peacock Circle
After the initial success of both the Thunderbird Country Club and the Tamarisk Country Club, developers and investors quickly began formulating plans for residential communities surrounding both clubs. In 1955, Fred Mottle, a Palm Springs resident and co-owner of the Chi Chi Club, and Charles E. Jones, a Los Angeles -based factory owner, purchased the former Cobb Ranch, a 29 -acre holding that bordered the 10th fairway at Tamarisk Country Club.

Mottle and Jones commissioned Master Architect William Cody to prepare a master plans for the subdivision, which included construction of homes around a new circular drive, called Peacock Circle, sited south off Chappel Road. The concept plans called for leasable apartments with swimming pools, and approximately 50 bungalow -style homes for rent.

However, by 1957, Cody and the developers had reworked the plan significantly, planning to build single-family residences and a hotel. In 1957, 10 homes were in various stages of completion, including residences for Mottle and Jones. The interior floorplans were designed by C.W. Doty, who later worked with Mottle on larger -scale projects in Palm Springs. In 1958, the 10 homes designed by William Cody were completed, but the hotel was never constructed.87 It took decades for buyers to infill the rest of the lots around Peacock Circle.

Sunny Lane Palm Estates
While cooperative housing development projects and high -end gated subdivisions continued to be developed during the 1950s and 1960s, tract style development was also occurring in Rancho Mirage, most notably in what is now the Tamarisk Heights neighborhood.

Along Ferber Drive, Marber Drive, and Palmdale Road between Sunny Lane and Cobb Road, west of the Tamarisk Ranchos, developers began building single-family residences featuring Roman tubs, Palos Verdes stone fireplaces, and entryways clad in slate and terrazzo. The first group of approximately 50 residences was completed between 1961 and 1962. Another group of homes was completed in 1973.88 The first 50 homes, built between 1961 and 1962, were designed as Contemporary style homes, and later homes built in the 1970s were built as Tract Ranch style residences. All houses featured attached garages with 235

front -gabled and cross -gabled forms. Within Sunny Lane Palm Estates, some properties retain their historic integrity, but many homes have been substantially remodeled or replaced over time.

Sun Valley Estates
The Tamarisk Heights neighborhood was significantly built -out along the western ends of Cobb Road, Sun Valley Drive, and Chappel Road where they intersect with Da Vall Drive when a former U.S. Army Air Force pilot named Charles Cash developed Sun Valley Estates from 1963 through 1968. Over the course of six years, Cash funded the construction of 90 Tract Ranch style single-family residences in the neighborhood.89 Over time, the decorative motifs of the Tract Ranch houses evolved from minimalist and modernistic designs to a neo- Spanish Revival aesthetic that included terracotta tile roofing and stucco arches.

Blue Skies Village
Following the opening of Thunderbird Country Club and the construction of his own home in 1952, Bing Crosby was one of the early visionaries who recognized the potential for both high -end and middle-class community building in Rancho Mirage. In 1953, Crosby purchased 22 -acres of land adjoining Highway 1 1 1 north of the burgeoning Thunderbird Country Club and Thunderbird Heights community to build a modest trailer park community.

Crosby knew that trailer parks were popular in post -WWII Palm Springs and surmised that the popularity would inevitably spread southward to Rancho Mirage. He created the Blue Skies Trailer Village cooperation, made himself president, and gathered a group of 48 investors, mostly friends from the entertainment industry, naming many of the planned streets after them. Crosby employed his assistant, Pete Pettito to oversee the development and later hired builder Rex Thompson as the project contractor. In 1954, the plan for Blue Skies Village was approved, with 307 lots for trailers. Crosby hired William Cody to create a master plan, design the trailer spaces, create a plan for the clubhouse/pool, and assist with landscape design. The Blue Skies Trailer Village was constructed between 1954 and 1956.9° Today, the village retains many of the original Cody elements, including the clubhouse, pool, trailer park types, and landscape layout.

Tierra De/ Sol
Robert McCulloch, founder of McCullough Engineering, identified a gap in the housing market in Rancho Mirage wherein prospective buyers needed a third housing option as an alternative to the country clubs and Blue Skies Trailer Village. McCulloch planned a modest community east of Thunderbird Country Club off Bob Hope Drive along the circular Vista DeI Rio road. The plan called for 39 homes, a shared pool, and a community center west.

McCulloch hired Richard R. Leitch, a young Los Angeles based architect and recent USC School of Architecture graduate to design the homes. The Desert Sun Development Corporation broke ground in August 1956 and had completed four model homes by November of that year. The models employed a Contemporary style with state-of-the-art appliances and modern features, including accordion -type hardwood partition walls and sliding screens.91 While some of the original
homes retain their original character, many
have been modernized significantly,
changing the look and feel of the original
community. The shared pool and
community center are no longer extant,
and the cooperative nature of the
community is no longer intact.

Desert Braemar
In 1955, the Braemar Construction
Corporation took note of the success of the
Thunderbird and Tamarisk Country Clubs, as
well as the popularity of the Blue Skies Trailer
Village, and planned a cooperative
housing development between the two
clubs along Highway 1 1 1 . The cooperative
resort was built to appeal to people seeking
enjoyment in a maintenance -free
community with ample amenities. The Figure 29. Desert Braemar community illustration, ca. 1957.

Braemar Construction Corporation (Source: Palm Springs Villager, March 1957) commissioned Master Architect John C.

Lindsay to design the community, which was to include 100 apartments and townhouses on a 12 -acre site with a shared pool, gardens, putting green, and clubhouse. Lindsay, a previous partner with the firm, Palmer, Krisel & Lindsay, was experienced in the design of commercial office blocks and housing projects prior to his work on Desert Braemar. He 237

continued to work on residential tracts after the Desert Braemar project, which was constructed between 1956 and 1957.

When finished, the $3 million Desert Braemar development included one and two-story buildings with open -tread stairs, open stairwells, decorative metal railings, and low roof lines.

The townhomes featured floor -to -ceiling windows, open-plan living spaces, and exposed beam ceilings. Overall, the property blended tropical motifs, using pink -tiled Bermuda roofs, with Desert Modernist design elements to create a unique look and feel to the entire property. Master Interior Designer Arthur Elrod added more modernist elements to the apartments and townhomes complementing Lindsay's vision.92 After the last apartments were completed in 1957, the Braemar Construction Corporation planned to construct another 90 units on an adjacent property, but the company soon fell into legal trouble, and the units were not built. By 1960, the existing owners of the apartments and townhomes had locked in 99 -year leases, and the co-op structure remains in place today.93
4th Fairway Cottages/Thunderbird Palms West
At the southern end of the Thunderbird Country Club off Highway 1 1 1 and Paxton Drive, local builder and entrepreneur George Holstein commissioned Master Architect William Cody to design 19 cottages around a central pool along Thunderbird's fourth fairway. Constructed in 1957, these 1,300 square foot homes were envisioned as weekend homes, initially named as the 4th Fairway Cottages. In 1964-1965, additional homes were built east of the original 19 cottages.94 Today, the community of 38 homes is known as Thunderbird Palms, a stock cooperative community. The original 19 homes are referred to as Thunderbird Palms West and the latter grouping is known as Thunderbird Palms East.

Tamarisk Ranchos I and II
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 40 -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 Rancho I, was built in 1958 by the Devon Construction Company, owned 238

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 floorplan, 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.95 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.96 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.97 Da Vaal Estates
In 1960, developer Robert Marx partnered with architect Val Powelson to create an apartment cooperative north of and adjacent to the Wonder Palms Hotel and Guest Ranch on the former Everett Da Vall Ranch.98 They designed the property to consist of five cross - shaped, single -story buildings each consisting of four 1,400 square -foot apartments with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Because of Powelson's dislike of rectangular shaped structures, the units played with structure and geometry to utilize triangular shapes wherever possible. Powelson designed the apartments with the roofs of all apartments featuring sharply angled triangular gable forms, large overhangs, floor to ceiling windows, open floor - plans, and complementing geometric landscaping between the units which did not share any adjoining walls. These Contemporary style apartments were completely unique when they were finished in 1960 due to their striking design and bold layout. Some of the date palms and grapefruit trees from the Da Vall ranch were retained during construction to add to the character of the cooperative development and tie the new residences at the Da Vaal Estates to the history of the area.99 The Da Vaal Estates remain relatively intact today, with few exterior changes over time.

Tamarisk West I, II, & III
In the 1950s 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 1960s, Lee's daughter and Keiter's wife, Connie, was an 239

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.

the development in 1964 and officially opened in 1965.

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 breezeblock
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
Lee-Keiter Enterprises commissioned architect Michael Allan Black to prepare designs for the second group of homes, Tamarisk West I I . 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 elements from Tamarisk West I. By 240

1969, Tamarisk West II was constructed. The third and final phase of the project, Tamarisk West III, was completed in 1972.101
Tamarisk Gardens
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 28 duplex 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.102 Completed in 1965, Tamarisk Gardens featured 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 featured 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.103
Th underbird Villas
In 1965, north of the already platted Thunderbird Heights subdivision, developer and Thunderbird Country Club member George M. Holstein planned another gated community with several shared community pools. Holstein hired USC School of Architecture graduate Richard Robert Leitch, AIA, architect of the nearby Tierra Del Sol community, to design the Thunderbird Villas condominiums. Leitch's design incorporated a mix of Contemporary and neo-Spanish Revival style elements, with rounded terracotta tiles for the roofing, but also open interior floor -plans with exposed beams, and full -height windows. Brick fireplaces with rounded arches also demonstrated Spanish Revival inspiration, but the interior recessed entries with courtyards were a Contemporary style touch. The first group of approximately 50 homes opened to residents in 1966. Subsequent Thunderbird Villas condominium units were built in the 1970s.104

Cody Court 10th Fairway Condominiums
The last small-scale resort community constructed adjacent to the Tamarisk Country Club was Cody Court, a group of eight condominium units with a shared pool built along the 10th fairway of the Tamarisk golf course east of the Peacock Circle subdivision. The property was originally within Fred Mottle and Charles E. Jones' 1956 Peacock Circle development designed by Master Architect William Cody, but the property was not developed, leaving a large open parcel north of the 10th hole green. To in -fill this land, the vice president of the Tamarisk Country Club at the time, Will Rosenfeld, turned to William Cody who, again, was tasked with creating a suitable design for this community in 1969. By this time, Cody had evolved his designs from earlier more typical International and Contemporary styles, into a distinct Desert Modernist style, taking inspiration from the environment while utilizing familiar techniques. The buildings were designed to feature wide expanses of uninterrupted brick walls painted with light desert colors that were broken up by floor -to -ceiling windows, wide overhanging flat roofs, and recessed patios/entrances. Desert flora was incorporated into the landscape along with interspersed palm trees. The Cody Court project was completed in 1970 and remains largely unaltered. They have become a unique part of the Tamarisk Country Club landscape and are immediately recognizable for their distinct design elements and configuration.105
Thunderbird North
In 1953, a Dallas developer named A. Pollard Simons bought the 40 -acre Loupe Ranch north of Thunderbird Country Club on the northeast corner of Country Club Drive and Morningside Drive. Loupe Ranch included two homes, with citrus trees, date trees, and a vineyard. By 1955, Simons commissioned Master Architect William Cody to design a seven -acre portion of the property as a small private resort community for Simons and his friends who were all members of Thunderbird Country Club and included Texas oilman Monty Moncrief and Thunderbird's all pro golfer Jimmy Hines. Simons and his friends gradually built 10 homes around a central pool with an 8,000 -square foot private putting green. Each home was custom built, with three designed by William Cody and another three designed by Wexler & Harrison, a partnership of Master Architect Donald Wexler and Master Architect Richard Harrison . Several other homes were designed in a compatible aesthetic although the architect for these properties has not been confirmed. The first two homes in Simons' Thunderbird North project were completed in 1956 and the last was completed in 1978.1°6 242

Green Acres
In 1962, developers Rubin, Leeb, and Horwich hired architect Robert Marx to design a small 30-unitsubdivision at the southwest corner of Palm View Road and Tamarisk Lane. A USC graduate, and son of Gummo Marx, Robert Marx designed three spec homes, between 1,800 and 2,500 square feet for use as models for the Green Acres project. The models were assigned breezy names, indicative of resort themes: 'Pacific', 'Caribbean', and `Mediterranean' although all were designed in a Desert Modernist style. At least 10 homes in the Green Acres project were built utilizing Marx's designs. The remaining lots were in -filled in 1999-2000, during that time one of the original Marx -designed homes was demolished and replaced. Another home designed by Robert Marx, within the Carolyn Court cul-de-sac, was demolished and replaced in 2016.107
Tamarisk Village
Sited within the Tamarisk Heights neighborhood, Tamarisk Village was conceived as a $2.5 million residential community composed of 40 detached single-family homes ranging in cost between $50,000 and $60,000. The project was initially planned by developer Don Baker through his company, Far West Development, who purchased the land in 1960. Baker hired Master Architect Hugh Kaptur to design four models, but the development quickly fell through due to economic constraints leaving only a small number of homes designed by Kaptur within the project boundaries. The Kaptur homes are sited on Mottle Circle and were built in ca1962-1963. Kaptur additionally designed Don Baker's residence in the project boundary. Completed in 1963 in the Desert Modernist style, the Baker residence features a recessed front entry, a prominent rock wall, a flat roof with a wide overhang, floor -to -ceiling glass windows, and subtle Spanish motifs.108
Sky Mountain
In 1963, Southern California builder and developer Merton H. Baker bought 640 acres of land west of Highway 1 1 1 between Tamarisk Country Club and Thunderbird Country Club to build a large resort community over a ten-year development period. The community, called Sky Mountain, was going to be designed with commercial properties, residences, a hotel, an eighteen -hole golf course, a clubhouse, and other recreational facilities. William Cody was initially tasked with designing oversight of residential construction within this new subdivision.

However, by 1971, one apartment building and a few home sites had been improved. Sky Mountain was declared bankrupt and the remaining 605 acres were sold on the market.

Today, the Sky Mountain Condominiums from 1964 remain one of the only markers of the original community, which sprawled up a canyon along Stellar Drive and Mirage Cove Drive. 243

Over time, single-family residences gradually filled the streets of Sky Mountain, which was only fully in -filled by the early 2000s.'°9
Associated Property Types
The first boom of residential development in Rancho Mirage was tied directly to the popularity of the country club industry in the post-war era. While planned residential development began with the with the Rio Del Sol and Magnesia Falls Cove communities, post-war development was primarily driven by country club investment. Early residential subdivisions and cooperatives throughout Rancho Mirage were largely composed of single- family residences. Most condos and apartments within residential communities were not developed in large quantities until the late 1970s and 1980s. While new residential subdivisions and cooperatives focused construction around new country clubs, commercial development stayed localized around Highway 1 1 1 throughout this period.

Single -Family Residences
Residential properties in subdivisions and cooperatives from 1951 to 1973 largely consisted of Tract Ranch, Custom Ranch, Contemporary, Post and Beam, International, and Desert Modernist homes. These were built in the Thunderbird Heights, Valley of the Sun, Peacock Circle, Sunny Lane Palm Estates, and Sun Valley Estates subdivisions. The same styles were used in the Blue Skies Village, Tierra Del Sol, Desert Braemar, 4th Fairway Cottages, Tamarisk Ranchos, Da Vaal Estates, Tamarisk West, Tamarisk Gardens, Thunderbird Villas, 10th Fairway Condominiums, Thunderbird North, Green Acres, Tamarisk Village, and Sky Mountain Condominiums, which all had varying degrees of shared community resources.

Single-family residences within Rancho Mirage subdivisions and cooperative communities were largely constructed on either undeveloped land or former agricultural property. Single- family homes were constructed with Tract Ranch, Custom Ranch, Contemporary, Post and Beam, International, and Desert Modernist styles.

Single-family residences constructed in independent residential subdivisions from 1951 through 1973, exhibit the following character defining features listed below. • One or two stories
• Mid-century architectural styles - Tract Ranch, Custom Ranch, Contemporary, Post and Beam, International, or Desert Modernist
• Private driveways
• Attached or detached garages/carports

Condominiums and Cooperative Apartments
The condominiums and/or apartments within Desert Braemar, Thunderbird Palms West, Da Vaal Estates, Tamarisk Gardens, Thunderbird Villas, and the Sky Mountain Condominiums were constructed on undeveloped lots that was previously agricultural or ranching land.

Developers built condos using Spanish Styled Ranch, Tract Ranch, Contemporary, Post and Beam, International, or Desert Modernist styles.

Condominiums and apartments outside country clubs from 1951 through the 1973 exhibit the following character defining features listed below. • One or two stories
• Paired and mirrored homes sharing a wall or multi -unit buildings • Mid-century architectural styles - Spanish Styled Ranch, Tract Ranch, Contemporary, Post and Beam, International, or Desert Modernist styles • Shared or individual driveways
• Gable, hipped, or flat roofing forms
• Large metal floor -to -ceiling windows
• Shared amenities (pools, tennis courts, gyms, etc....) Significance Thresholds
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, a property dating to Rancho Mirage's Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives period must be significant under at least one of the following criteria.

NRHP Criterion A/CRHR Criterion 1

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2
Residential properties may be significant under Criterion B/2 for their association with the life of a person important in the development of Rancho Mirage residential subdivisions and cooperatives. A residential property that can be documented as associated with an important person in national, state, or local history may qualify for designation. In addition, the individual must have been associated with the resource during the period that the person's significant achievements and contributions occurred. Prominent figures related to the residential development of Rancho Mirage may include Dan Palmer, George M.

Holstein, Fred Mottle, Charles E. Jones, Charles Cash, Bing Crosby, Pete Pettito, Robert McCulloch, John C. Lindsay, Lou Halper, Robert Marx, George Keiter, Richard McCarthy Jr., A. Pollard Simons "Rube" Rubin, William Leeb, Filmore Norwich, Don Baker, or Merton H. Baker.

Additional significant individuals may be discovered through future research.

NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3
A residential property in Rancho Mirage may be eligible under Criterion C/3 for embodying distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of construction. A notable work of a master builder, architect, or designer would also be significant under Local Register Criterion C if the residential property was designed or constructed as part of the residential development of Rancho Mirage from 1951 through 1973.

NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4
A residential property related to the overall residential development of Rancho Mirage may be significant under Criterion D/4 if it has the potential to yield important information of scientific value. Unevaluated and undocumented elements of residential properties may be found to be significant using this criterion.

Local Register Criteria
A residential property dating between 1951 and 1973, may be significant under Local Register Criterion 1 if it is representative of a mid -20th century architectural style or reflects special elements of early residential period, type, style or way of life important to the City; under Local Register Criterion 2 if it is associated with a business or use which was once common but is now rare or non-existent within the City; under Local Register Criterion 3 if it is representative of the evolution or development or associated with the cultural, religious, educational, political, social or economic growth of the City, county, state or nation, like a subdivision or residential cooperative community; under Local Register Criterion 4 if it represents the work of a master builder, engineer, designer, artist or architect whose 246

Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
individual genius influenced the Residential Subdivisions and Cooperatives period; under Local Register Criterion 5 for an association with a historic event person(s) that have made a meaningful contribution to the City, state or nation; under Local Register Criterion 6 if it has a high potential for yielding information of archaeological interest; under Local Register Criterion 7 if it embodies elements of outstanding or innovative attention to architectural or engineering design, detail, craftsmanship or use of materials; or under Local Register Criterion 8 if it contains an unusual natural feature.

Integrity Considerations
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, a residential property, built between 1951 and 1973, must retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance. A property nominated under NRHP Criteria A/CRHR Criteria 1 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2 should retain integrity of location, design, feeling, and association, as the physical condition of a site is directly related to connection between a property and a significant individual. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling, as these are critical for a property to embody distinctive characteristics of a style. Some alterations may be acceptable if the property retains its essential features and overall original form. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4 should retain integrity of location, materials, and association.

A property nominated under Local Register Criteria 1, 4, or 7 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling. A property nominated under Local Register Criteria 2, 3, or 5 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. A property nominated under Criteria 6 or 8 should retain integrity location, materials, and association. 247

Theme 6: Commercial Development, 1934 - 1973
In Rancho Mirage, commercial and civic development was spurred by residential interests.

As residential tracts began to develop in the post -WWII era, Highway 1 1 1 anchored the construction of new commercial properties. The earliest commercial projects were in the vicinity of Magnesia Falls Cove, before extending north and south along the Highway 1 1 1 corridor. These early commercial, hotel, civic and institutional -use properties provided the backbone for living that fostered community development in Rancho Mirage and solidified the City's arrangement of uses between country clubs, golf courses, and residential communities that have come to characterize the City's history.

Figure 31. Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce members, 1964. (Source: Palm Desert Post, Volume 2, Number 27, 2 July 1964) One of the earliest extant commercial properties built in Rancho Mirage is located at 71-555 Highway 1 1 1, between Indian Trail and Dunes View Road. Constructed in 1948, the property was originally the home and studio of German artist Louis Krupp, who moved to the Coachella Valley in 1946 at the age of 58 years old.110 The Spanish Colonial Revival style office building has housed a mix of uses over time after Krupp including the Purvis Gallery of Design, another art studio, and Rose Mortuaries, the current occupant.

By 1950, additional commercial buildings were constructed in the center of Magnesia Falls 249

Cove along present-day Highway 1 1 1 and Rancho Mirage Lane, originally called 'The Veldt' or 'Veldt Street' until 1988.1" Referring to the area's naturally barren landscape, Veldt is a Dutch and Afrikaans term describing treeless open grasslands in Southern Africa. The Veldt Street commercial cluster included Elmer's Minute Market addressed as 42-427 The Veldt and Rancho Mirage Paint and Hardware under the proprietorship of father and son L.E. and David Moore at 42-462, Gallery del Sol, also addressed as 42-462 The Veldt. A community swimming pool was installed at the end of The Veldt. Operated as the Rancho Mirage Swim Club, individual and family memberships provided access to the pool, recreation area, and picnic and barbecue facilities.12
Three extant Veldt Street properties that date to the pre -incorporation period are identified as 42-414 Rancho Mirage Lane and 42-487 East Veldt, both constructed in 1950 with a mix of Spanish Colonial Revival and Ranch style features; and 42-427 Rancho Mirage Lane, Elmer's Minute Market, which opened in 1964.113 This International style building is now occupied by property management firm, Desert Management. Most of the other original commercial buildings at The Veldt, on present-day Rancho Mirage Lane and East Veldt Street, have been either removed or replaced over time.

Before Rancho Mirage had
a post office, mail was
routed through Indio and
distributed to Rancho
Mirage via Rural Free
Delivery. In 1936, 14 residents
that were living in Rancho
Mirage, including those with
homes in the Magnesia Falls
Cove and nearby ranches,
independently set up a row
of mailboxes along the Veldt
for easy delivery. However,
by the 1940s, residents
wanted a local office for their own convenience. Estella Ewart, the tract manager in Rancho Mirage, was instrumental in organizing the effort to establish the post office. She organized neighbors to sign petitions demanding that the office be built. In response, the Federal government finally approved the request and the first post office in Rancho Mirage began construction in 1950.114 The California Building and Supply Company built the post office as a new separate wing within the Rancho Mirage Tract Office at 71-841 Highway 1 1 1, owned Figure 32.

by the developers of the Magnesia Falls Cove subdivision, A. Ronald Button and Dave F.

Culver. The post office officially opened its doors on February 1, 1951, when Sidney F.

Greenleaf was sworn in as the first postmaster.115 He served until 1967.116 The office moved in 1954 and again in 1962, both times in the vicinity of the current Rancho Mirage post office building, which was built in the early 1990s.117 The other historic -era post office buildings are no longer extant.

One of the first hotels in Rancho Mirage was conceived in 1956, when Dr. Harry Johnson, decided to buy some land in the Magnesia Falls Cove neighborhood, which was then simply referred to as Rancho Mirage. Johnson wanted to fulfill his dream of building and owning his own hotel. He enjoyed bringing his family out to the desert for weekends and vacations and wanted to create a permanent establishment in the Coachella Valley to anchor him to this locale. To realize his vision, Johnson hired Long Beach architects Powers, Daly, and DeRosa, who had previously designed his family home in Lakewood. They developed a site plan and design for a group of buildings gathered around a pool and central loggia. In October 1956, Johnson received planning permission and construction began in the spring of 1957. Initially called "Dancing Waters", the name eventually became "Whispering Waters" when construction finished, and the establishment opened by January 1958.118 Overwhelmed with the difficulties of managing the commercial establishment, the Johnson family sold the property in October 1958 to an ownership group of television stars such as Lloyd Bridges, Dennis Weaver, Carolyn Jones, Hugh O'Brian, and Pat Conway. The celebrity group sold the establishment again in 1960, and the Whispering Waters hotel remained a popular destination until the 1990s, when the City of Rancho Mirage acquired the property and converted it into a senior housing complex.119
Another small hotel from the same period was the Casbah Apartment Hotel. In 1957, developer Bill Boland opened the establishment. Designed by McCallum & Pitchford, the hotel was designed for short- and long-term guests visiting Rancho Mirage looking to golf for the weekend or stay for the season. Today, the Desert Modern style buildings at 42-457 Rancho Las Palmas Drive are all long-term apartments.120 From the 1950s through the late 1960s, developers constructed several notable commercial properties along Highway 111 in Rancho Mirage. Many of these early shops and stores remain extant, though some have been substantially altered through renovations. In 1958, Novikoff Engineers constructed one of the earlier grocery stores in Rancho Mirage at 71-550 Highway 1 1 1.121 Now a consignment store, the building still clearly displays elements of the Desert Modernist style, with large windows and rock wall facades. At the northern end of 251

Magnesia Falls Cove, Ross "Erik" Erickson and his wife Marge constructed Erik's Furniture Store in 1960 at 71-285 Highway 1 1 1. The building, which was extensively modified in 1973, continues to operate as a family -owned store in the same location.122 Two years later in 1966, the Howard Lapham designed Lord Fletcher's Restaurant at 70-385 Highway 111 opened its doors at its location between Thunderbird Heights and Thunderbird Country Club. With its English countryside inn -inspired decorative elements, the restaurant became one of the early high -profile restaurants for notable local residents to gather along what would become known as "Restaurant Row."123 While the restaurant has closed, the building remains extant in 2025. Back south closer to the Magnesia Falls Cove neighborhood, Harold Bissner and Robert Pitchford completed the Rancho Super Car Wash at 71-490 Highway 1 1 1 by 1967»24 The car wash remains in operation today and the pink elephant neon sign has become a local landmark.

They retained control of the original location but endeavored to build a larger Spanish Colonial Revival style restaurant in Rancho Mirage. To realize their vision, they hired Arthur Valdes, who went on to design the clubhouse at the Rancho Las Palmas Country Club, to develop a design for their new location.126 In April 1973, Las Casuelas Nuevas officially opened at 70-050 Highway 11 1.127 Since its opening, the Delgado family has expanded and modernized the restaurant, but original components are still readily identifiable. 252

In 1971, the first Eisenhower Medical Center, now Eisenhower Health, building was completed, providing much needed local medical services to the community. Following the completion of the hospital, possible annexation and incorporation interests began to quickly evolve as new residential, commercial, and municipal properties developed in Rancho Mirage. The Cities of Cathedral City and Palm Desert demonstrated interest in annexation to encompass the new hospital. In response, the residents of Rancho Mirage swiftly jumpstarted a movement to incorporate. Residents voted 85% in favor of incorporation, which was officially completed on August 3, 1973, when Rancho Mirage became the 16th City in Riverside County.128
The first school in Rancho Mirage was the Christian School of the Desert, part of a network of private Hawthorne Christian Schools, which opened in the fall of 1963.129 This small private school at 72-850 Clancy Lane taught kindergarten through eighth grade until Marywood Country Day School acquired the campus in 1986. In 2005, Marywood Country Day School agreed to merge with the Palm Valley Private School (ca. 1992) at 35-525 Da Vail Drive and the Clancy Lane campus officially closed in 2007.13° By 2014, the old Marywood facilities and any original Christian School elements were demolished and replaced with a new housing development.

In 1965, the Palm Springs Unified School District purchased a 9.3 -acre parcel off Indian Trail at the top of the Magnesia Falls Cove from Rancho Mirage Properties, Inc, for $60,000.131 Construction finished in 1967, and the Rancho Mirage Elementary School opened in the fall of 1967, becoming the first public school in the community. The Chamber of Commerce officially dedicated the establishment in May 1968.132 Over time the school continuously expanded to serve the needs of the growing Rancho Mirage community. In 2013, the City of Rancho Mirage used grant funds to construct a sidewalk along Mirage Road so students from the school could safely walk to the Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory of Highway 111.133

Figure 34. The Eisenhower Medical Center, now Eisenhower Health, ca. 1971. (Rancho Mirage at Fifty Book, Source: City of Rancho in partnership with Desert Publications, Inc.) Prior to Rancho Mirage's incorporation as a city in 1973, comedian Bob Hope and his wife, Dolores, purchased the 300 -acres of undeveloped land from Hank Gogerty, the owner of the Desert Air Hotel, in 1961. Five years later in 1966, Hope donated 80 acres of that land for the construction of a hospital and volunteered to serve on the board. The board then asked Eisenhower in 1966, who at that time was a resident at the Eldorado Country Club in Indian Wells, to lend his name to the new establishment.134 Eisenhower agreed and the project broke ground on November 26, 1969. The board commissioned Edward Durrell Stone, who had previously planned the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., to design the hospital.135
Before and while construction was beginning, Bob and Dolores Hope continued to fundraise for the hospital. Dolores helped establish the Eisenhower Auxiliary towards this end and donations from the Bob Hope Desert Classic contributed to funding operating costs during construction. Two years later, the 138 -bed Eisenhower Medical Center was dedicated on November 27, 1971. Richard Nixon presided over the event, and the facility was opened to patients a month later in December 1971. Funded through continuous donations, the 254

hospital grew rapidly during the 1970s. In 1972, the Probst Professional Building opened, which was made possible through donations by Mr. and Mrs. Walter F. Probst. Three years later in 1975, the Eisenhower Medical Center completed the Kiewit Professional Building, which was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kiewit. During the same period, Thunderbird, Eldorado, Tamarisk, and Desert Island country clubs actively fundraised as well, contributing $7.2 million to further construction. By 1976, the hospital's admission rate topped 5,000.'36 In 1978, the hospital added the 47 -bed Mamie Eisenhower East Wing, and in 1979, the Wright Professional Building funded by Mrs. Harold (Hazel) Wright opened. Film producer Hal. B.

Wallis also donated $1.2 million to support a new building bearing his name the same year and Walter and Leonore Annenberg donated $4 million to build the Annenberg Center for Health Sciences, which was completed in 1980.137
In the 1980s, the Eisenhower Medical Center continued to expand. An addiction treatment center attached to the Eisenhower Medical Center named the Betty Ford Center opened in 1982. Three years later, in 1985, the hospital opened the 100 -bed Autry Tower. Other improvements during the '80s included additional buildings like the Eisenhower Imaging Center, the Dolores Hope Building, and the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center. In 2008, the hospital transitioned from a community hospital to a teaching hospital, and it is now the largest employer in Rancho Mirage. The Eisenhower Medical Center, now Eisenhower Health, continues to be improved with new facilities as it has become the premier hospital in the Coachella Valley.138
Associated Property Types
The properties related to commercial development in Rancho Mirage from 1934 through 1973 are largely confined to the Highway 1 1 1 corridor. Most of the first commercial construction in Rancho Mirage began in the vicinity of Magnesia Falls Cove, before spreading north and south along the road. A few early buildings constructed close to the highway were originally single-family residences that were later converted to fully commercial spaces. Due to the scattered nature of commercial development in Rancho Mirage, many of the first commercial buildings have been demolished and replaced over time.

Commercial Buildings
Commercial properties in Rancho Mirage built from 1934 to 1973 were almost exclusively developed on previously undeveloped lots. Near Magnesia Falls Cove, few of the earliest 255
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC

commercial properties remain. Most have been demolished and replaced. While commercial development was steady through the middle of the 20th century and after the establishment of the first country clubs, it was not until the late 1970s and 1980s that commercial construction boomed with the implementation of strip mall, restaurant, and convenience store projects. Commercial buildings developed in the center of Rancho Mirage through the 1970s largely began as Spanish Colonial Revival style buildings, and slowly transitioned to mid-century styles like Contemporary, International, Post and Beam, and Desert Modernist styles. Some early Ranch single-family residences were converted into commercial buildings. Commercial properties during this period were largely limited to small one-story shops, restaurants, and convenience stores.

Commercial properties constructed in Rancho Mirage residential subdivisions from 1934 to 1973 exhibit the following character defining features listed below. • One or two stories (usually one) in height
• Period Revival, Ranch, or Modernistic styles - Spanish Colonial Revival, Tract Ranch, Custom Ranch, Spanish Styled Ranch, Contemporary, Post and Beam, International, or Desert Modernist styles
• Automobile oriented with readily available parking
• Low-pitched or flat roof
• Metal framed windows
Significance Thresholds
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, a property dating to Rancho Mirage's Commercial Development period must be significant under at least one of the following criteria.

NRHP Criterion A/CRHR Criterion 1
Commercial properties throughout Rancho Mirage if they can be shown to have made a significant individual contribution to the board patterns of national, state, or local history, particularly relating to the evolution of the commercial development in Rancho Mirage after the beginning of construction within the Magnesia Falls Cove and prior to incorporation in of the City of Rancho Mirage.

NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2
Commercial properties may be significant under Criterion B/2 for their association with the life of a person important in the development of Rancho Mirage commercial properties. A 256
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC
December 2025 I Page 117

City of Rancho Mirage
Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
commercial property that can be documented as associated with an important person in national, state, or local history may qualify for designation. In addition, the individual must have been associated with the resource during the period that the person's significant achievements and contributions occurred. Prominent figures related to the commercial development of Rancho Mirage may include Dr. Harry Johnson, Lloyd Bridges, Dennis Weaver, Carolyn Jones, Hugh O'Brian, Pat Conway, Bill Boland, Ross "Erik" Erickson, Howard Lapham, Estella Ewart, A. Ronald Button, Dave F. Culver, Sidney F. Greenleaf, Hank Gogerty, Walter Annenberg, Leonore Annenberg, and Betty Ford. Additional significant individuals may be discovered through future research.

NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3
A commercial property in Rancho Mirage may be eligible under Criterion C/3 for embodying distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of construction. A notable work of a master builder, architect, or designer would also be significant under Local Register Criterion C if the commercial property was designed or constructed in Rancho Mirage from 1951 through 1973.

NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4
A commercial property related to the overall residential development of Rancho Mirage may be significant under Criterion D/4 if it has the potential to yield important information of scientific value. Unevaluated and undocumented elements of commercial properties may be found to be significant using this criterion.

Loca/ Register Criteria
A commercial property dating between 1951 and 1973, may be significant under Local Register Criterion 1 if it is representative of a mid -20th century architectural style or reflects special elements of commercial type, style or way of life important to the City; under Local Register Criterion 2 if it is associated with a business or use which was once common but is now rare or non-existent within the City; under Local Register Criterion 3 if it is representative of the evolution or development or associated with the cultural, religious, educational, political, social or economic growth of the City, county, state or nation, like a significant restaurant or noteworthy corporate office; under Local Register Criterion 4 if it represents the work of a master builder, engineer, designer, artist or architect whose individual genius influenced the Commercial Deve/opment theme; under Local Register Criterion 5 for an association with a historic event person(s) that have made a meaningful contribution to the city, state or nation; under Local Register Criterion 6 if it has a high potential for yielding 257

Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
information of archaeological interest; under Local Register Criterion 7 if it embodies elements of outstanding or innovative attention to architectural or engineering design, detail, craftsmanship or use of materials; or under Local Register Criterion 8 if it contains an unusual natural feature.

Integrity Considerations
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, a commercial property, built between 1951 and 1973, must retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance. A property nominated under NRHP Criteria A/CRHR Criteria 1 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2 should retain integrity of location, design, feeling, and association, as the physical condition of a site is directly related to connection between a property and a significant individual. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling, as these are critical for a property to embody distinctive characteristics of a style. Some alterations may be acceptable if the property retains its essential features and overall original form. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4 should retain integrity of location, materials, and association.

A property nominated under Local Register Criteria 1, 4, or 7 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling. A property nominated under Local Register Criteria 2, 3, or 5 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. A property nominated under Criteria 6 or 8 should retain integrity location, materials, and association. 258

Theme 7: Cityhood, 1973 - Present
By the late 1960s, Rancho Mirage had a year-round population of approximately 500 people and a seasonal residency of approximately 1,500.139 The community was still small, though it had experienced two decades of steady growth following the construction of the Thunderbird and Tamarisk Country Clubs. Single-family residences, commercial improvements along Highway 1 1 1, two new elementary schools, the post office, and the new hospital were signs that the area was rapidly developing. So, when the neighboring communities of Cathedral City and Palm Desert began to show interest in expanding their spheres of influence to assume control of the new Eisenhower Medical Center, Rancho Mirage residents were ready to start a political movement to avoid this infringement on their self -sovereignty. Local citizens held an election in 1973 and 85% of voters chose to recognize Ranch Mirage as the sixteenth city in Riverside County. As a result, the City of Rancho Mirage was formally incorporated on August 3, 1973.140
Following incorporation, Rancho Mirage experienced a building boom in the mid -1970s, with 5,000 new dwellings reported to be in progress in 1974.141 The newly formed city approved several early municipal improvements, including the construction of Fire Station #1 (Riverside Country Fire Station 50) on Highway 1 1 1 in 1976 and the Rancho Mirage City Hall in 1979. The country club development continued at a steady pace with the creation of the Springs, Sunrise, and Rancho Las Palmas Country Clubs. Commercial growth accelerated along the Highway 1 1 1 corridor, with the construction of mini -malls and the distinctive Organic Modern style Chart House, designed by Kendrick Kellogg in 1978. By 1979, the population of Rancho Mirage had reached 7,379.'42
During the 1980s, the City of Rancho Mirage completed construction of the Whitewater Park in 1981 (now Rancho Mirage Community Park) and facilitated the creation of the Bighorn Sheep Preserve in the Santa Rosa Mountains in 1987.143 In 1983, the Jack Nicklaus designed Club at Morningside course opened and the developer, Ed Johnsen, constructed condominiums around the course from 1983 to 1990. In 1984, the Harold Heers and Robert Muir Graves designed Rancho Mirage Country Club course opened to the public. The condos around the course at the country club were gradually built between 1985 and 1999.

Property types associated with the Cityhood period of Rancho Mirage include private residential, commercial, and municipal improvements. Because most resources constructed during this period are less than forty-five years old, many properties during this period have not been evaluated for the purposes of historic designation. 259

Country Clubs
Country clubs constructed within the Cityhood era include the Springs Country Club, Sunrise Country Club, Rancho Las Palmas Country Club, Rancho Mirage Country Club, and the Club at Morningside which were built during the 1970s and 1980s. In 2004, the Porcupine Creek private estate was completed, which reopened to the public in 2022 as the Sensei Porcupine Creek, a public resort and wellness retreat, owned by Oracle founder Larry Ellison.

The Springs Country Club
In the early 1970s, Edwin "Ed" C. Johnsen, president of the California land development company Trojan Properties, Inc., was looking for the opportunity to develop another successful country club, following the success of Thunderbird and Tamarisk. After some time searching, he finally made concrete plans to develop a new residential community and golf club in 1973 through a joint venture agreement with the Equitable Life Assurance Company.

Together, they planned a $75 million dollar project to develop a country club between Thunderbird and Tamarisk Country Clubs and around the new Desert Island Country Club.

The plan called for the development of seven hundred and sixty-two total condominium units (one hundred of those units on fairways), an eighteen -hole golf course, six tennis courts, and forty-six swimming pools across what would be known as the Springs Country Club.'44 Construction began on the first homes in 1974 along Stanford Drive, which featured single - story, two -unit, condo buildings situated along cul-de-sacs with shared pools between the buildings. Desmond Muirhead designed the course following his successful work at the nearby Mission Hills Country Club and the Desert Island Country Club in Rancho Mirage. In May 1975, Johnsen and Equitable Life Assurance broke ground on their now 35,000 square foot clubhouse designed by William L. Rudolph, a Los Angeles based architect. The clubhouse was constructed by Torre Construction Company from Newport Beach, California. At the time of its construction, the building was the largest in Rancho Mirage.145 Today, the clubhouse remains extant, and the club is still private. Notable celebrities who lived at the Springs Country Club include Willy Mays and Mary Martin.146 Sunrise Country Club
In 1971, developer Bill Bone purchased a 135 -acre date ranch adjacent and east of the Thunderbird Country Club. Bone commissioned James C. Barg to design the clubhouse and Ted Robinson as the golf course architect for the new 18 -hole course. After plans were approved, construction began in 1974. A total of 746 condominiums were built around the course, which included four small lakes, twenty-two swimming pools, eleven tennis courts, 260

Historic Resource Survey and Context Statement
eight pickleball courts, and the new clubhouse. Construction on the condos was completed in 1975 and by the end of the 1970s, most of the units were sold. Throughout this period, Bill Bone retained ownership of the clubhouse, golf course, and other common facilities. His success at Sunrise Country Club led to his development of additional country clubs in the valley including Rancho Las Palmas, Monterey Country Club, Palm Valley, and The Lakes.147 In 1981, Bone announced that he planned to sell the country club to the California Golf and Tennis Company, which owned and managed numerous other country clubs and golf courses. They agreed to buy the club for $1,492,000 but the deal was never finalized because Bone gave the homeowners the opportunity to buy the club. Soon after, a committee of homeowners formed a corporation and immediately forged a plan to retain communal ownership. After a quickly organized funding campaign, the collection of owners was able to secure funding for club purchase in November 1981.148 Today, the country club remains a private member -owned private establishment. The condos remain relatively unaltered, and the 1974 clubhouse remains extant.

Rancho Las Palmas
Construction on the Rancho Las Palmas Country Club started in August 1976, when developer Bill Bone broke ground with the mayors of Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert. Bone put Jack Conlon, president of the Sunrise Corporation, in charge of the project. Under Conlon's direction, the Sunrise Corporation hired golf course architect Ted Robinson to design a 27 -hole golf course; architects Arthur Valdes & Co. Ltd. and Stoffregen, DeCoster, & Associates to design the new clubhouse; and Susan Schreiber to design the model homes.

Construction of the course was finished in 1977, and all condo units were completed by 1978.'49
The Club at Morningside
The Club at Morningside was established in 1982 by Ed Johnsen following his success at the Springs Golf Club. Johnsen had famous golf professional Jack Nicklaus design the eighteen - hole course and Claude Harmon agreed to be the first teaching professional at the club.

After construction was complete, the privately owned club passed bylaws to restrict membership and prohibit non-member events. Construction on all condos within the country club was completed by 1990. The club remains a privately owned establishment today.'5o Rancho Mirage Country Club

Woodhaven hired Christopher Mills as the architect for the central clubhouse and Paulden Evans as the lead interior designer, the course opened in 1984.151
Residential Developments
Like country club and commercial developments, residential construction accelerated following the incorporation of Rancho Mirage during the Cityhood period. Many notable residential properties were developed in the 1970s and 1980s that may meet the criteria for historic designation at either the national, state, or local levels of significance, despite their age just above or below the 45 -year threshold. These properties most notably include Ichpa Mayapan designed by Howard Lapham in 1973 within Thunderbird Heights and the Gerald Ford Estate designed by Welton Becket in 1977 within Thunderbird Country Club. Other residential communities and single-family residences in Rancho Mirage built during the 1980s also showcase later examples of Desert Modernism and other examples of late -modern architectural styles.

Commercial Properties
Commercial properties built in the 1970s and 1980s were generally concentrated along the Highway 1 1 1 corridor and included mini -malls, convenience stores, restaurants, shops, and offices that may be found individually significant as excellent examples of architectural styles, notable works of masters, or unique properties associated with the development of the community during the Cityhood era.

Restaurant Row
The 1979 City of Rancho Mirage General Plan urged for "the creation of `Restaurant Row,' which should be recognized as an asset to the City."152 This statement was in part a recognition of the restaurants that were already built along the Highway 1 1 1 corridor, like Lord Fletcher's, Las Casuelas Nuevas, the Chart House, Kobe Japanese Steak House, and Wally's Desert Turtle, that were well known landmark establishments within the City. These establishments, and others built before and after incorporation, helped establish Rancho Mirage as a community known for its unique dining experiences.

Built on 5.48 acres of land and constructed at the foot of a small hill along Highway 1 1 1 in 1978, the Chart House restaurant was built to follow the natural curvature of the site as a 262

unique Organic Modern commercial property designed by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg. It featured a gently sloping roof with recycled roof boards that were supported by laminated curved beams. The building had fixed windows with black anodized aluminum mullions and a center skylight made of three layers of translucent plastic running the full length of the structure. The skylight culminated in a raised, ribbed dome from which a round natural rock chimney emerged. The rock in the subterranean walls and the chimney was quarried on site, further incorporating elements of the surrounding natural environment. The double doors of the recessed entrance to the restaurant were made of laminated beveled glass in curved wood frames. The entrance also featured a low -profile waterfall that ran in and out of the restaurant through the glass on the east side of the entrance. Low concrete walls formed planters, and a curved concrete walkway led to the parking lot. Over time, the interior was extensively remodeled, most notably when the restaurant changed owners and became GG's Island restaurant, but the exterior remained in its original condition.153 The Chart House was found to be architecturally significant as a unique and outstanding example of Organic Modern design by the City of Rancho Mirage in 2005. It appeared on the cover of Restaurant Design magazine in 1981, and it received the Vintage Pinot Noir Award sponsored by AIA, APA, ASLA, AEP, CSPE, IEDI of the Inland Empire of California, due largely to its energy efficiency, in 1994. The Chart House was Kellogg's only known commission in the Coachella
Valley, and it brilliantly
demonstrated Kellogg's unique
design philosophy.154 Sadly
however, the Chart burned down
in January 2012, and the remains
were demolished in March 2013.155
The same year the Chart House
opened, Wally Botello opened the
Desert Turtle (now Wally's Desert
Turtle), with interiors developed by
the famed interior designer Steve
Chase, who shaped the California
style throughout the Coachella
Valley.156 With an understated Desert Modernist exterior and opulent interior decorations, Wally's remains a fixture in the Coachella Valley with a prominent reputation for its quality food.

Also opening in 1978, the Kobe Japanese Steak House, a teppan restaurant, was designed and inspired by a 17th -century Japanese inn. At the establishment, owners Hy Aisenstat and Rod Gardiner wanted to create an environment with charming pagodas and a tranquil koi pond to greet diners, who are then seated among imported Japanese antiques. While the restaurant subsequently changed ownership over the years, it continues to maintain its original exterior design elements and serve its unique Japanese cuisine.157 Eisenhower Medical Center Auxiliary - Co//ectors' Corner In 1970, the Eisenhower Medical Center Auxiliary held their first "Collectors' Corner" event at locations across the desert.158 The event, which involved purchasing a ticket to exchange thrifted goods, was hosted to raise funds for the Eisenhower Medical Center, which was still under construction. After several successful consecutive annual Collector's Corner events, the Auxiliary needed a permanent home to sell thrifted goods. While they waited for their permanent building to be constructed, the Auxiliary found temporary housing at 68-573 Broadway in Cathedral City, the former home of
the Desert Auction Gallery.159 Finally, in November
1973, the new Collector's Corner store officially
opened for business at its current 71-280 Highway
1 1 1 location. The Auxiliary was integral in raising
funds and creating community support for the
Eisenhower Medical Center. In the first four years
of operation, the Auxiliary fulfilled a $100,000
pledge and numbered approximately 1,625
members.16° Today, the Auxiliary continues to
operate the property with the same purpose. The
International style Collectors' Corner building has
since been updated and expanded since its date
of initial construction, though elements of the
original design are still identifiable.

remains relatively intact, still clearly displaying the original design elements that make it a unique landmark within the City.

Provident Bank
In 1981, Provident Bank, at the time Provident Federal Savings, began construction on a new branch location in Rancho Mirage. At that time, Provident had a chain of branches located across Riverside Country, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Orange Counties. When Provident began construction on their Rancho Mirage branch, the founder and president of the bank, Gordon A. Blunden wanted a building with material and design that would "harmonize with and complement its desert surroundings." To this end, Provident hired Gin Wong Associates, a Los Angeles based Chinese-American architect who led the design team at the Los Angeles International Airport and planned many other iconic Los Angeles landmarks. For the Rancho Mirage Provident Bank, Wong designed a one-story building over 7,100 square feet with curved walls clad in black lava rock broken by floor -to -ceiling windows and heavy wooden roofing beams to create trellises and large overhangs over building entrances. Wong also designed the building to have large copper metal facia, which was chosen to weather over time and develop a "desert patina" to blend with the surrounding environment.162 The building was fully completed in 1982. Since its construction, the Desert Modernist building has remained a Provident Bank branch and a fixture in the Rancho Mirage community.

Municipal and Institutional Facilities
Civic and institutional facilities such as parks, fire stations, and schools represent the governmental and architectural history of communities. Rancho Mirage's unique origins as an unincorporated ranching and agricultural community that evolved into a resort destination for golfers meant that typical civic and institutional facilities were not constructed until the number of permanent residents increased with substantial residential investment.

The community relied on County services from existing locales. Municipal incorporation in 1973 marked the need for city -owned civic and institutional facilities officially. However, important civic improvements in Rancho Mirage really began as early as 1950, when the first post office was established, and in the early 1960s when designs for the Eisenhower Medical Center began to take shape and the Palm Springs Unified School District began to recognize the need for a school within the Rancho Mirage community.

Fire Station #1 (Riverside Country Fire Station 50)
Soon after incorporation, the City of Rancho Mirage invested time and resources to 265

determine where a new fire station should be located within city limits. After negotiations between city staff and several different landowners, the Thunderbird Country Club donated land on the south side of Highway 1 1 1 in -front of the Thunderbird Heights community to the City for development. In January 1976, the City of Rancho Mirage finished the construction of Fire Station #1 and dedicated the building on February 28th. The station, constructed in a Desert Modernist style, was originally operated by the Riverside County Fire Department and manned by local volunteers.163 Today, fire services for the City of Rancho Mirage are provided through a cooperative agreement with the State of California (Cal -Fire) and the County of Riverside. The station at 70-801 Highway 111 is also commonly referred to as Riverside County Fire Station 50.'64

building.168 This construction project was also designed by Robert Ricciardi and completed by general contractor Great West Contractors, Inc. Shortly following the 1996 remodel in 2002, the City hired Stanford Leonhard Architects and Lion Heat Construction, Inc., to construct a new city council chamber within the footprint of the original 1976 building, removing all traces visible components of the original structure. Six years later in 2008, city officials endeavored to redesign the landscaping around the City hall with a focus on sustainability, which became a Sustainable Sites Initiative case study as "an example of high - quality, sustainable site development."169 Today, the Rancho Mirage City Hall chiefly reflects the designs of city architect Richard Ricciardi who shaped the development of the property from 1979 to 1996.

Whitewater Park (Rancho Mirage Community Park)
In May 1981, the City of Rancho Mirage completed construction on the first city park, Whitewater Park, at 71-560 San Jacinto Drive. A.J. Construction completed the work, which involved the construction of tennis courts, handball courts, a softball field, a children's recreation area, and bicycle paths.10 In 1983, the Rancho Mirage Woman's Club donated $9,500 for additional playground equipment at the park.171 In 2004, the City moved Rancho Chiquito, the oldest residence in Rancho Mirage, to Whitewater Park (Rancho Mirage Community Park). There, the home is recognized as the oldest existing home in Rancho Mirage. The park, and its improvements, is considered as a significant municipal milestone in the story of early City development.

Palm Valley School and Rancho Mirage High School
In 1992, the Palm Valley School completed its first wave construction. In 1997, the school added a preschool program and a new gym and stage complex in 2001. They now teach grades Pre -K to the twelfth grade. Following their merger with the Marywood School in 2005, the campus has significantly expanded. It is now a 34 -acre property with state-of-the-art facilities.172 In 2005, the Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD) worked with Sun Cal Development to acquire 80 acres of land for a new high school site. PSUSD completed the design of the Rancho Mirage High School in 2007. Construction began in May 2010 and was completed in August 2013.'73

Associated Property Types
Properties constructed during the Cityhood era are related to residential communities (including country clubs), commercial properties, municipal buildings, and institutions.

Country clubs post -1973 have largely been constructed near earlier clubs, on ground previously developed by older clubs, or close to Highway 1 1 1 . Residential properties constructed during the Cityhood period have also been built close to country clubs, on previous agricultural/ranching land, or undeveloped lots. Commercial properties during the Cityhood era have been built on previously disturbed land where older commercial properties have been demolished, or on the remaining undeveloped lots along Highway 1 1 1. Municipal buildings and institutional facilities have been built on similar parcels as commercial properties.

Single Family Residences
Residential properties post -1973 have mostly consisted of Tract Ranch, Custom Ranch, Spanish Styled Ranch, Post and Beam, and Desert Modernist homes. These continue to be built across Rancho Mirage in new and established subdivisions and country clubs. In many ways, construction of single-family residences, condominiums, and apartments follows the same patterns established pre -incorporation.

Single-family residences within Rancho Mirage subdivisions and country club communities post -1973 have been built on either undeveloped land or parcels previously occupied by historic -era residences. Single-family homes have been constructed with Tract Ranch, Custom Ranch, Spanish Styled Ranch, Post and Beam, and Desert Modernist styles.

Single-family residences constructed within residential subdivisions and country clubs post - 1973 exhibit the following character defining features listed below. • One or two stories
• Mid -to -late 20r" architectural styles - Tract Ranch, Custom Ranch, Spanish Styled Ranch, Post and Beam, or Desert Modernist
• Private driveways
• Attached or detached garages/carports
• Gable, hipped, or flat roofing forms

Commercial Buildings
Commercial properties in Rancho Mirage built post -1973 have been built on previously disturbed land where older commercial properties have been demolished or on the remaining undeveloped lots along Highway 111. Near Magnesia Falls Cove, most of the earliest commercial properties have been removed. In the late 1970s and 1980s, commercial developers installed strip malls, additional restaurants, and convenience stores along Highway 1 1 1 and other principal community roads. Commercial buildings developed in the center of Rancho Mirage post -1973 have largely been Spanish Colonial Revival, Post and Beam, International, or Desert Modernist style buildings.

Commercial properties constructed in Rancho Mirage post -1973 may exhibit the following character defining features listed below.

Municipal and Institutional Buildings
Municipal and institutional properties in Rancho Mirage built post -1973 have been built on previously disturbed land or on the remaining undeveloped lots along Highway 1 1 1. Due to the lack of an established city center, municipal buildings in Rancho Mirage are scattered along Highway 1 1 1. Likewise, Institutional buildings have been constructed along the Highway 1 1 1 corridor, apart from the Eisenhower Medical Center (Eisenhower Health) campus which has expanded its campus along Bob Hope Drive over time. Municipal and institutional buildings developed in Rancho Mirage post -1973 have largely been Spanish Colonial Revival, Post and Beam, International, or Desert Modernist style buildings.

Municipal and institutional properties constructed in Rancho Mirage post -1973 may exhibit the following character defining features listed below. • One or two stories (usually one) in height

property that can be documented as associated with an important person in national, state, or local history may qualify for designation. In addition, the individual must have been associated with the resource during the period that the person's significant achievements and contributions occurred. Prominent figures related to the development of the City of Rancho Mirage may include Ed C. Johnsen, Desmond Muirhead, William L. Rudolph, Bill Bone, James C. Barg, Jack Conlon, Arthur Valdes, Hal Heers Sr. Christopher Mills Florencio "Del" Delgado, Mary Delgado, Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, Wally Botello, Steve Chase, Hy Aisenstat, Rod Gardiner Ross Patten, Gordon A. Blunden, Gin Wong, Edna Warner, or Robert Ricciardi. Additional significant individuals may be discovered through future research.

NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3
A Cityhood era property in Rancho Mirage may be eligible under Criterion C/3 for embodying distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of construction. A notable work of a master builder, architect, or designer would also be significant under Local Register Criterion C if the property was designed or constructed in Rancho Mirage post -1973 but at least 45 years of age.

NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4
A Cityhood era property related to the overall development of the City of Rancho Mirage may be significant under Criterion D/4 if it has the potential to yield important information of scientific value. Unevaluated and undocumented elements of any post -1973 properties may be found to be significant using this criterion.

Local Register Criteria
A Cityhood era property built post -1973 may be significant under Local Register Criterion 1 if it is representative of a mid -to -late 20th century architectural style or reflects special elements of a type, style or way of life important to the City; under Local Register Criterion 2 if it is associated with a business or use which was once common but is now rare or non- existent within the City; under Local Register Criterion 3 if it is representative of the evolution or development or associated with the cultural, religious, educational, political, social or economic growth of the city, county, state or nation, such as a significant restaurant or landmark corporate office or noteworthy institution; under Local Register Criterion 4 if it represents the work of a master builder, engineer, designer, artist or architect whose individual genius influenced the Cityhood theme; under Local Register Criterion 5 for an association with a historic event person(s) that have made a meaningful contribution to the city, state or nation; under Local Register Criterion 6 if it has a high potential for yielding 271

Integrity Considerations
To be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or Local Register, a Cityhood era property, built post -1973, must retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance. A property nominated under NRHP Criteria A/CRHR Criteria 1 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion B/CRHR Criterion 2 should retain integrity of location, design, feeling, and association, as the physical condition of a site is directly related to connection between a property and a significant individual. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion C/CRHR Criterion 3 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling, as these are critical for a property to embody distinctive characteristics of a style. Some alterations may be acceptable if the property retains its essential features and overall original form. A property nominated under NRHP Criterion D/CRHR Criterion 4 should retain integrity of location, materials, and association.

A property nominated under Local Register Criteria 1, 4, or 7 should retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling. A property nominated under Criteria 2, 3, or 5 should retain integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. A property nominated under Criteria 6 or 8 should retain integrity location, materials, and association. 272

Theme 8: Rancho Mirage Architectural Styles, 1934 -1980s The architectural history of Rancho Mirage may be organized in three general styles and timeframes: period revival/eclectic, early modern, and post-WWII/late modern styles. • Period Revival refers to an historicist period in design encompassing the first half of the 20th century wherein older architectural styles were 'revived' and revisited with modern adaptations. Architects working in the Period Revival were inspired by all historic periods and geographic locales including ancient Egyptian architecture (Egyptian Revival), classical Greco-Roman architecture (Classical Revival and Neoclassical), Italian Villas (Mediterranean/Renaissance Revival), Spanish churches (Spanish Colonial Revival/Spanish Eclectic), Spanish Colonial Missions (Mission), English cottages and country estates (Tudor Revival), and Colonial -era buildings in what would become the United States (Colonial Revival and Dutch Colonial). • Early Modern architectural styles generally refer to building types developed in the first decades of the 20th century prior to the start of World War II that either initially evolved out of the Art Nouveau style and developed over time into International and Contemporary designs or styles came into popularity out of the need for simple affordable housing during the Great Depression. This section of architectural styles summarizes the types of buildings found in Rancho Mirage more generally after the end of World War II but may also include some buildings that were built before the war.
• Postwar period architectural styles generally refer to building types constructed in the first decades following the end of World War II in Rancho Mirage. Some early modern styles, such as International and Minimal Traditional styles, established and maintained popularity before and after the war. Some of the post-war styles below gained popularity in the post-war period but began in the 1930s and early '40s. This section on architectural styles summarizes the types of buildings found in Rancho Mirage more generally after the conclusion of World War II through the 1970s.

Within these generalized periods, this theme defines which architectural styles are represented in Rancho Mirage's history and identifies specific property types associated with those styles as well as known projects attributed to architects and builders working in the region. This theme is intended to serve as a guide for the identification of architecturally significant properties in Rancho Mirage.

Desert Vernacular (1912-1940s)
Desert Vernacular style homes in Rancho Mirage were early custom-built residences defined by their simple, utilitarian designs with limited distinguishing stylistic features. These buildings are chiefly characterized by their simplicity and blending of characteristics from other more recognizable styles. In Rancho Mirage, remaining examples were constructed with readily - available local materials with walls constructed from concrete masonry or slump stone block; wooden framed buildings with board -and -batten siding, and roofs clad in terracotta tile or rolled asphalt. Most of the early ranching buildings in Rancho Mirage built by the first farmers fall into this designation. Surviving examples are rare and have likely been modified. The basic stylistic features of the Desert Vernacular style are listed below. • Simple square or rectangular form
• Gabled or hipped roof with boxed or open eaves
• Concrete masonry block or wood exterior cladding
• Simple window and door surrounds
Property Types
In Rancho Mirage, Desert Vernacular style buildings were constructed in the area around Magnesia Falls Cove and the southern half of the current boundaries of the City. Buildings designed in the style are all associated with single-family residences.

Spanish Colonial Revival / Neo-Spanish Colonial Revival (1915-1970s) As the popularity of the Mission Revival style waned by the 1910s, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, pioneered a fresh style when he was selected as the chief designer for the Panama -California Exposition held in San Diego's Balboa Park in 1915. This style blended aesthetic precedents from the Iberian Peninsula (Mediterranean, Italian, Spanish and Moorish traditions) with the architecture of early settlement patterns in California and other southwestern states as well as Florida; all regions where Spanish Colonial buildings occurred.

Popularized in Southern California, the Spanish Colonial Revival (or Spanish Eclectic) style suited the state's warm climate and became the favored building form in the 1920s and 1930s. Innumerable houses were built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style in California and became a distinctly American blend of architectural traditions.

There are five principal subtypes for Spanish Colonial Revival style buildings which include structures with side -gabled, hipped, cross -gabled, combined hipped -and -gabled, and flat roofs. The basic stylistic features of the Spanish Colonial Revival / Spanish Eclectic style are listed below.
• Low pitched roof covered in terracotta (Spanish/Mexican/Mission) tile • Boxed eaves or limited eave overhang
• Smooth stucco siding (usually painted white)
• Arched windows and doors, particularly at principal openings • Asymmetrical facade composition and floor plan
• use of outdoor balconies and patios
• arched openings
• thick wall dimensions
• colorful tile work
• ornamental vents and grille work at windows and doors • ornamental elaborations at windows and doors in the form of relief surrounds From the 1950s through the 1970s in Rancho Mirage, developers continued to utilize simplified and modernized versions of Spanish Colonial Revival designs for large scale residential tracts, multi -family family residences, and commercial properties, known as the Neo-Spanish Colonial Revival style.

Property Types
In Rancho Mirage, Spanish Colonial Revival style buildings dominated areas associated with the early residential subdivision development and early commercial properties. In Rancho Mirage, commercial buildings in the Spanish Colonial Revival style do not significantly differ in size, massing, or configuration from residential buildings and do not have many other 275

Tudor Revival (1890-1940)
The Tudor style is an eclectic mixture of early and Medieval English building traditions to create a picturesque, traditional appearance. The term Tudor is somewhat of a misnomer, since the style does not closely follow the building patterns of the English Tudor era of the early 16th century. Instead, it is an amalgam of late medieval English inspired building elements. While early examples were often ornate structures in the late 19th century, building designs gradually became less complicated into the 20th century. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Tudor style was second in popularity only to the Colonial Revival style in residential properties.

The basic stylistic features of the Tudor Revival style are listed below. • steeply pitched roofs, often with a front facing gables or multiple gables • half-timbered wall surfaces
• overhanging gables or second stories
• decorative front or side chimney
• diamond shaped casement windows
• board -and -batten front entry doors
• stucco, masonry or masonry -veneered construction, often with ornamental stonework or brickwork
Property Types
In Rancho Mirage there is only one example of a Tudor Revival style building, Lord Fletcher's Restaurant at 70-385 Highway 1 1 1. There are no recorded residential examples of the property type within City limits, but future survey efforts may identify other homes associated with this style.

International (1925-1960s)
The International style originated in Europe when architects such as Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier sought a style that was not based on cultural traditions or historic precedent and could be used by any architect in any country. International style was based on the volume, form, and three-dimensional composition of a building rather than the ornamentation applied to the building. The International style was brought to the United States by European architects immigrating to the country after World War I or fleeing Hitler before World War I I .

The style was disseminated throughout the country by these architects who were also leading the architectural education at prominent universities such as Walter Gropius, who worked at Harvard and Mies Van der Rohe, who taught at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Instead of solid masonry wall structures, International style buildings were supported by lightweight structural skeletons allowing for walls to be freed to simply enclose volumes.

Fenestration placement could then be more flexible.

The International style is defined by square and rectangular building footprints with strong right angles with symmetrical and asymmetrical variants. The basic stylistic features of the International style are listed below.
• Flat roofs
• large expanses of windowless surfaces
• Lack of applied ornament
• Horizontal bands of windows
• Common exterior materials include concrete, brick, stucco and glass • Flush steel sash or casement windows

There are few International style buildings currently recorded in Rancho Mirage, and they appear to be limited to residential properties. Future survey efforts may locate more International style residential or commercial buildings within the boundaries of Rancho Mirage based on their presence in other nearby Coachella Valley communities. Commercial buildings in the International style would display other character defining features, which are listed below.
• Two or more stories in height
• Full length windows
• Single -story flat roof porches
• Ample automobile parking areas

New Formalism (1950s -1970s)
Sometimes called "Neo Palladianism", New Formalism emerged in the mid 1950s as a rejection to the rigid form of Modernism. The style represents 20th century effort to combine the building forms of the past with new forms enabled by advances in building technology.

New Formalist buildings embraced many Classical precedents such as building proportion and scale, classical columns, highly stylized entablatures, and colonnades. However, they also used the unique qualities of concrete to create new forms such as umbrella shells, waffle slabs and folded plates. Champions of the style include architects such as Edward Durell Stone, Philip Johnson, Eero Saarinen, and Minoru Yamasaki. The basic stylistic features of New Formalism are listed below.
• Symmetrical facades with columnar arched supports
• Flat slabbed roofing forms
• Concrete, stone, brick, or marble wall surfaces that are smooth and unadorned • Slender attenuated columns
Property Types
In Rancho Mirage, the most noteworthy example of the New Formalism style is the original Eisenhower Medical Center building and the subsequent office buildings designed by Edward Durell Stone and completed during the early 1970s at 39-000 Bob Hope Drive. No other civic, commercial, or residential properties have been identified with this style, but more examples may be recorded in future survey work.

Ranch Styles (1934 -Present)
Few houses were built during the 1930s due to the financial uncertainty created by the lingering Great Depression, and with the United States' entry into World War I I , all building materials were needed for the national defense effort. Very few houses were also built during the war. As a result, at the end of the war the country faced a serious housing shortage. Four million returning veterans could not find housing, and many people lived in overcrowded houses. In 1946, President Truman appointed Wilson W. Wyatt as national Housing Expediter, who recommended programs and legislation with the goal of building more than one million houses a year. To accomplish this, the Veterans' Emergency Housing Act was passed, providing $600 million in subsidies to builders who could quickly build small homes with a maximum of 1,100 square feet. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) also enforced this policy: by the late 1940s all builders started adhering to the FHA's design standards because it was a key selling point if all homes in a subdivision were pre -approved for low-cost mortgages.

The need for inexpensive, efficiently produced housing coincided with the emergence of the Ranch style of architecture. The Ranch house was simple to build: a one-story rectangular or L-shaped house with a low-pitched roof on a concrete slab foundation.

Standardized designs made it possible to build dozens or even hundreds of houses at the same time, which allowed more efficient site engineering and greater specialization of labor.

Steel casement window units were easy to install. Ornamental features were sparse.

Ranch style architecture was deeply rooted in the American West. The Ranch style drew its inspiration from the 19th century adobe ranch houses of California, as well as the Craftsman style and early Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie houses. The simple and sparsely adorned houses reflected the romantic imagery of the past and the new social trends of informality and casual home life in postwar suburbia. Ranch houses were one story with a long rectangular or L-shaped plan and a low-pitched roof with deep eaves and a few traditional elements such as clapboards and false shutters. Ranch homes usually had no true porch, but rather, a simple extended eave over the entry. Ranches also reflected the growing importance of the automobile, which brought sprawling subdivisions with larger lots, allowing the broadest side of the house to be the primary facade. The low horizontal profile of the home facing the street with its many visible planes and angles was modern, streamlined, simple, and showed no trace of the elaborate European elements that embellished the earlier period revival styles. California architects Richard Neutra and Gregory Ain introduced the Ranch style in the 1930s, but in the late 1940s it became the predominant style for residential architecture. 281

For the most part, the Ranch style became tantamount to mass-produced standardized houses of nearly identical design. This is due largely to new emerging approaches to residential construction. In the early part of the 20th century, one would buy a lot and hire a contractor to build a house. After World War II, the need for fast and efficient construction of homes favored partnerships with investors, real estate specialists, architects, and large construction firms. Land was purchased, a subdivision plat laid out the arrangement of blocks, lots, and streets, and a single contractor oversaw construction of all houses in a tract.

There were often three or more different models that offered some variety in styling, but the design differences between houses in a neighborhood tended to be in the arrangement of minor decorative elements and the placement of windows and doors. Ranch style houses built by a single contractor are often referred to as Tract Ranch houses. However, there were also custom-built Ranch houses, each with their own unique design by an architect for the site. The Custom Ranch houses tended to be larger, with more elaborate decorative elements. By 1960, Styled Ranch styles became common, with subtle thematic design elements that created subtypes such as Spanish, French Provincial, Storybook, American Colonial, and Swiss Chalet Styled Ranches.

Property Types
In Rancho Mirage, Ranch style buildings are present in most areas associated with early residential subdivisions and country club neighborhoods. The style is entirely reflected in single-family residences. There do not appear to be any Ranch style commercial buildings in Rancho Mirage. Any unrecorded businesses in Ranch buildings are likely be converted residences which would not display other commercial character defining features. 282

Tract Ranch
In Rancho Mirage, Tract Ranch homes were constructed in the first residential subdivisions from 1944 into the 1980s. These Tract Ranch houses were built by different homebuilders, starting with A. Ronald Button in the Magnesia Falls Cove during the 1940s. Button utilized several different architects with a wide variety of models and design options. Later, following the success of the first country clubs, subsequent developers also built Tract Ranch communities in the vicinity of the new golf courses.

Early Ranch style houses were largely uniform in appearance with one story with an elongated rectangular or L-shaped plan, with the broad side facing the street. The character defining features of early Tract Ranch Style homes are listed below. • Asymmetrical facades
• Brick, concrete block, or wood frame construction materials • Multiple roof types including gable, hip, intersecting gables, or multiple hips that are low-pitched to very low-pitched with broad overhanging eaves • Roofs covered with asphalt shingles
• Steel casement windows with no trim
• Minimal porch, usually in the form of an extended eave, with or without posts • Few decorative elements, usually limited to faux wood shutters and exposed rafters, occasionally brick wainscoting
• Attached carport on the side of the house
By 1960, changes in the design and construction of the Ranch style added other character defining features which are listed below.
• Fixed and sliding aluminum frame windows
• Attached garages replaced carports
• Larger floorplans
• A greater range of decorative elements, including brick or stone wainscoting, board - and -batten siding, wrought iron porch posts, weeping mortar, and scroll -cut decorative fascia
• Roofs covered with clay tiles or wood shakes
• Hip roofs with gablets and eyebrow dormers
