The Palm Springs City Hall was a collaboration with architects Albert Frey, John Porter Clark, Robson Chambers, and E. Stewart Williams.

The Sinatra house or “Twin Palms” was designed by architect E. Stewart Williams in 1947 for Frank Sinatra and his first wife, Nancy Barbato.

With its dramatic inverted arches, the Coachella Valley Savings and Loan is one of several institutional contributions by E. Stewart Williams. Designed in 1960, the building is now occupied by Chase Bank.

Originally the City National Bank, constructed in 1959, this building was inspired by Le Corbusier’s chapel in Ronchamp, France and was designed by architect Rudi Baumfeld.

Architect Albert Frey used repetition in metal piping cut at angles to create a pleasing design that creates a sun-shield for parts of City Hall building.

Albert Frey explored positive and negative forms. The City Hall’s centre porch opening is the same size as the “People Are the City” portico roof to the right of the entrance.

Albert Frey’s “Tramway Gas Station”, built between 1963 and 1965, is a prime example of modernist architecture. This mid-century modern icon of Palm Springs architecture is now the home of the Palm Springs Visitors Centre.

The Del Marcos Hotel was designed in 1947 by William F. Cody. It was critical in establishing his career in the desert as it was his first independent commission.

William F. Cody received the American Institute of Architects Design award for the Del Marcos Hotel, which features a unique mix of native stone and redwood.
