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.
