Just Listed: Stunning Architectural Home in Palm Desert
Albert Frey, who's probably most noted in Palm Springs for the design of the Tramway Gas Station, (shown in the poster below) will be getting a star on Palm Springs Walk of Fame. The unveiling will be on Feb. 12th, at 2:00, another event tied in with Modernism Week (www.Modernismweek.com) celebrating the art and architecture from the mid-century era. Frey has done many other mid-century homes located in the Palm Springs area.
If you're in town, hope to see you there!
