“Canyon Country Club: History and Design of Palm Springs’ Garden of Eden” Book Signing and Tour

A great double-value! House tour plus book! Join us for a book signing of PSPF’s scholarly and beautifully illustrated 302-page hardcover book, Canyon Country Club: History and Design of Palm Springs’ Garden of Eden, by author Steve Treinen. The book signing is paired with a tour of the marvelous custom midcentury Dr. Maurice Rice Residence (1969, William Krisel) in Canyon Country Club (now known as the Indian Canyons neighborhood). The residence features a pentagonal 75-foot-long lap pool that traverses the entirety of the back of the home and enjoys one of the finest lots in Canyon Country Club, near the iconic lakes and fountains. A copy of the book (a $50 retail value) is included with each ticket purchased. 

To learn more about the history and design of Canyon Country Club, consider attending Treinen’s presentation on the topic during PSPF’s Free Lecture Series on Wednesday, February 19, 2025.
