Anyone who has ever been here understands how important it is to preserve these homes. It's a very special look in a unique setting.

Palm Spring is such a cool, special place. This story encapsulates that. 😎

I went to Palm Springs in November and it was cold with the sun out. Definitely recommend visiting and taking the gondola to the top of the mountain.

Proud to call beautiful Palm Springs home. My house is just 5 minutes away walking.

…..Made the mistake of retiring to Las Vegas, relocating to Palm Springs where there is ACTUALLY art, and charm, and character.

What type of insulation does this house have? How thick are the exterior walls that are faced with aluminum sheets? Those appear to be fairly thin, based on the dimpling that is noticeable.

When they talk about Avant Garde designs having issues - this was one of them.

The giant Marilyn Monroe statue in itself is worth preserving in Palm Springs. Amazing kitsch artifact.

Unfortunately you cannot tour the inside of the house. It is not ADA compliant (as nothing was back in the day), so the museum cannot open it to the public. No plans to modify it.

I was in palm springs earlier this year and walked by it a few times. I wondered if it was possible to go inside. Oh well 😢

I spent many years in and out of this house in the 1970’s - 1980’s when it was on the estate of Wallace Harrison in Huntington NY. It is cool to see it preserved and moved to Palm Springs.

Some of the older houses designed in palm springs are unique. Unfortunately, we don't get that today unless you are super wealthy.

It's a wonderful story! Now, if Oalm Springs can protect its large collection of Mid-Century Moderms from being destroyed or remodeled beyond recognition?

Yes, it would need a cooling system. Wow. It would literally be an oven, no?

A dual purpose appliance, a refrigerator or an oven depending on location.

I currently live in Palm Springs California in the process of getting my real estate license and the one thing I will say and put in the atmosphere is that if Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner, and all those other great mid-century architects have not inspired me to make my own mid-century organic architecture I don’t know what has.

Why’s only the outside open to the public- is it not structurally sound?

Sorry to the termites, it's their favorite past time, as for the aluminum building isn't worried as safe bill repairs. Be careful for bend metal! 🤗👍

But nobody can actually go inside it...there are currently no plans to open it for museum visitors.

It looks interesting, but not comfortable or practical to live in. Architects can talk in abstracts about creating new ways of living, but in real life most people want a cozy home that makes them feel warm and proctected. Not to mention the cost of trying to keep a steel roof from rusting and springing a leak. That is probably why it didn't catch on.
