Historic Site Preservation Board Report
In 2004 the Architectural Resource Group from San Francisco completed a survey of 200 architecturally significant properties. Within that number 53 were identified as worthy of national, state or local designation as Class I historic sites. The Historic Site Preservation Board is working with this list to prioritize properties to nominate for Class I status.
Palm Springs Reimagined
You can play an important role in the future of Palm Springs.
The city, noted for its Mid-Century Modernism style is at a crossroads. The question is: How can we preserve the best and update the rest? So we are asking prominent California architectural/landscape/city planning firms to submit ideas for a newly re-imagined Palm Canyon Drive.
EVENT UPDATE: The Palm Springs Re-Imagined event has been moved to February 23 to coincide with the desert's popular Modernism Week, thereby assuring the participating architects and designers a wider audience for their work. The new date also allows our Palm Springs Preservation Foundation members a chance to participate in this important exhibition. Entries will be accepted up to January 15, 2008.
