Historic Tennis Club Neighborhood: Tour of Seven Homes

The Historic Tennis Club neighborhood in Palm Springs holds a rich history, woven with threads of luxury, leisure, and architectural sophistication. Established in the early 20^th century, this enclave emerged as a haven for the affluent seeking refuge. Its proximity to the renowned Tennis Club and its reputation as a retreat for Hollywood stars lends an aura of exclusivity and allure to the neighborhood. The neighborhood flourished throughout the midcentury Modern era, attracting prominent architects who left an indelible mark with their innovative designs. Today, the Historic Tennis Club neighborhood stands as a living testament to Palm Springs’ golden age, with its well-preserved mid-century structures nestled among homes representing the last 100 years of desert architecture.

On tour are 7 unique architectural gems. See homes by architects like Herbert Burns and Dean Davidson, and visit the former residences of the Knott’s Berry Farm family, the Gould residence, and the home of Madge Philips. From iconic architectural landmarks to a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, the tour offers a captivating journey through the evolution of desert Modernism. The home tour not only showcases the architectural prowess of midcentury masters but also pays homage to the vibrant community that continues to call the Historic Tennis Club neighborhood home.
