Built in 1965

Designed by Albert Frey and Robson Chambers.
Conceived by developer Culver Nichols as
an entry statement to Palm Springs, the roof
is a hyperbolic paraboloid of steel I-beams
and corrugated metal roofing supported by
steel tubular pillars. Albert Frey was
consulted in its 1998-1999 adaptive reuse
as a sculpture gallery.

This property has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
