"The Santa Fe Federal Savings & Loan Association building (Santa Fe Federal Savings) is located on the southeast corner of West Baristo Road and South Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. Strongly influenced by the International Style, the one -story building is a Miesian pavilion of steel frame construction on a raised concrete pad. Full height glazing on three sides creates a delicate “jewel box” effect, especially when illuminated at night. Load carrying steel posts are placed outside the glass walls. Perforated sliding gold anodized aluminum panels cut glare on west and east elevations. Crowning the building is a flat roof that extends beyond the glazing to mirror the cantilevered concrete floor slab below. The building was rehabilitated following the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. It exhibits sufficient historic and architectural integrity to convey its significance." (
