Palm Springs City Hall


The building recalls the euphoric era after World War II, when Palm Springs flourished as the playground of movie stars and magnates. Wealthy and style conscious, this in-crowd became clients of young modernist architects who had moved to Palm Springs, inspired by its light, landscape, and climate. The private homes and public buildings the architects designed would transform the desert resort city into a mecca of modernism.
