"The Kocher-Samson Building was erected in 1934 along North Palm Canyon Drive, the city’s primary thoroughfare. This mixed -use International Style building was designed to accommodate offices on the ground floor and a small apartment unit on the second floor. Based upon a series of volumes and voids , the building has a flat roof, plate glass windows, stucco finish, steel framed windows , and minimal overhangs. The ground floor is of post-and -beam construction with concrete block infill; the second story consists of lightweight pressed steel frames welded toget her on site. The building is in good condition and, while altered, exhibits sufficient integrity to convey its significance when viewed from the public right-of-way." (
