A great article about the Goulding Estate (originally constructed circa 1927-28 as part of visionary developer Edmond Fulford's pioneering Palm Springs Mesa subdivision). This sounds like the beginning of a great preservation story! The Class 1 Historic Resource nomination (which includes some interesting Hollywood history) was written by PSPF board member Steven Keylon. (Photo courtesy PSHS)

At Tuesday evening's Palm Springs City Council meeting, the city attorney again announced "no reportable action" regarding the Closed Session Agenda items which included the city's possible purchase of important portions of the historic Town & Country Center. We can only speculate that although the city continues to negotiate, those negotiations are proving to be a challenge.

Following a lengthy discussion the city's Historic Site Preservation Board voted unanimously on May 5th to recommend Class 1 designation of Temple Isaiah to the City Council. Temple Isaiah is a multi-phase complex representing three significant periods of mid-century and contemporary architecture. The original building was designed in 1949-1952 by E. Stewart Williams, expanded in 1960-1962 by Wexler & Harrison, and comprehensively redesigned in 1982-1987 by David Christian. (Photo courtesy The Desert Sun)

At Wednesday evening's Palm Springs City Council meeting, the city attorney announced that "no report" was forthcoming regarding the Closed Session Agenda items which included the city's possible purchase of important portions of the historic Town & Country Center. In short, the future of The Center remains in limbo.

The historic resource nomination for the Snyder Residence (1932, William Charles Tanner) cleared a major hurdle late yesterday when the city’s Historic Site Preservation Board voted unanimously to recommend Class 1 designation to the City Council.
