a CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE: June 17, 2009 PUBLIC HEARING SUBJECT: CASE HSPB #68: APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION OF THE "CASABLANCA ADOBE" AT 590 S. INDIAN CANYON TRAIL AS A CLASS 1 HISTORIC SITE FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: The Planning Department SUMMARY Under Section 8.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code (Historic Resources), the City Council may designate properties as "Class 1" historic sites. The City's Historic Site Preservation Board (RSPB) has recommended such a designation for the property at 590 S. Indian Canyon Trail, known as the "Casablanca Adobe". The Council will conduct a public hearing and determine if the site should be designated. Class 1 designation would place the building under the guidance of Municipal Code Section 8.05 "Historic Preservation". RECOMMENDATION 1. Open the public hearing and accept public testimony. 2. Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA DESIGNATING THE "CASABLANCA ADOBE" AT 590 S. INDIAN CANYON TRAIL, A CLASS ONE HISTORIC SITE." PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Palm Springs, via the Historic Site Preservation Board, filed an application requesting the structure at the subject property be designated a Class I historic site. Such designation would: 1. Place the subject property under the guidance of Municipal Code Section 8.06 Item No. 1 • City Council Staff Report June 17,2009 Case: RSPB No 68; 590 S. Indian Trail Page 2 of 5 2. Require present and subsequent owners to maintain the site consistent with that ordinance, 3. Grant possible property tax reduction opportunities to the owner under the State of California Mills Act. A full project description, historic assessment report, findings and recommendations can be found in the attached staff reports to the Historic Site Preservation Board dated January 13, 2009. PRIOR ACTIONS The home is listed in the 1984 Riverside County Historic Resources Survey. On April 16, 2008, the owners, Jeff Trachta and Al Sophianopoulos filed an application for historic designation. On May 13, 2008, a subcommittee of the HSPB evaluated the site and recommended that the Board proceed with the application for Class 1 designation. On January 13, 2009, the Historic Site Preservation Board voted 6 to 0 to recommend that City Council designate the "Casablanca Adobe" located at 590 South Indian Trail, a Class I Historic Site in accordance with Municipal Code Section 8.05. HSPB Resolution #68 is attached. ANALYSIS The site is approximately a 0.36-acre parcel located in the Warm Sands neighborhood. "Casablanca Adobe" is one block south of Ramon Road, on the corner of South Indian Trail and East Camino Parocela, and is situated in a residential neighborhood comprised mostly of homes constructed from the 1930's to the 1950's. The house was constructed in 1936 of adobe brick with the style's characteristic cedar shingle roof. (This roof has been replaced with an exact replica of the original cedar shingles and examined by staff and the HSPB). Textural elements include a rough stone foundation, peeled logs, exposed hand-hewn lintels, projecting support beams, and deep window recesses with cut-stone sills. The home is listed in the 1984 Riverside County Historic Resources Survey. The landscape at "Casablanca Adobe" contains mature desert landscape, including a large cacti and Eucalyptus tree that based on the size and trunk width, could have been planted when the house was built. An original adobe wall surrounds the perimeter of the yard, although the condition of the wall was not constructed or maintained as well as the home. "Casablanca Adobe" was constructed by Pearl McCallum McManus and designed in the Vernacular Adobe style by Palm Springs builder Lee Miller. In 1946, legendary u; � City Council Staff Report June 17,2009 Case; HSPS No, 68;590 S. Indian Trail Page 3 of 5 screenwriter Howard E. Koch purchased the home. Several of his most noteworthy accomplishments include writing Warner Brother's The Sea Hawk, penning Orson Welles's adaptation of War of the Worlds for Mercury Theater's popular radio program, and winning the Oscar for writing Casablanca. These accomplishments occurred prior to Mr. Koch's purchase of his Palm Springs home. While living in "Casablanca Adobe", Koch wrote both the classic No Sad Songs for Me and Letter from an Unknown Woman. The Library of Congress designated Letter a cultural treasure, and the United States National Film Registry selected the film for preservation. During his residence at "Casablanca Adobe", Koch appeared before the House Un- American Activities Committee (HUAC) in Washington D.C. regarding the film Mission to Moscow that portrayed the new Soviet Union in a positive light. Koch's refusal to turn against his friends and colleagues led him to be blacklisted from the American film industry. Subsequently he and his wife Anne turned "Casablanca Adobe" into a respite and rallying point for blacklisted artists as a place to organize, discuss, and relax. Eventually he and his family made a new life for themselves in Europe where he began writing again under the pseudonym "Peter Howard". REQUIRED FINDINGS As noted above, Section 3.05.020 of the Municipal Code provides the definition of a historic site: "An historic site is any real property such as: a building; a structure, including but not limited to archways, tiled areas and similar architectural elements; an archaeological excavation or object that is unique or significant because of its location, design, setting, materials, workmanship or aesthetic effect." Based on the above analysis and the attached information, staff has concluded that the "Casablanca Adobe" at 590 S. Indian Trail meets the definition of a historic site because of its location, design, materials, workmanship and aesthetics. Furthermore, the building possesses qualities defined under criteria 2 and 4 from Municipal Code Section 8.05.020 as noted below: (2) That is associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contributions to national, state or local history as follows: The property at 590 South Indian Trail is historically significant because it was associated with two people who made meaningful contributions to national, state and local history. Pearl McCallum McManus was the daughter of John G. McCallum, the first non-Indian to settle here permanently. She is greatly responsible for shaping Palm Springs architecture. She hired well_renowned architects to build hotels in town, including Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, to build The Oasis Hotel in 1923. She also hired Paul Williams to design the Tennis Club in the 1930's and Stewart Williams to build the Oasis Commercial building in 1952. She is recognized for her aforementioned local contributions and for building the "Casablanca Adobe". City Council Staff Report June 17,2009 Case: HSPB No.68; 590 S. Indian Trail Page 4 of 5 In 1946, legendary screenwriter and Oscar winner, Howard E. Koch, purchased the house. Mr. Koch's noteworthy accomplishments on both the state and local levels include writing significant screenplays for successful films while in Hollywood. While living in "Casablanca Adobe", Koch wrote two classics, one, which was designated a cultural treasure by The Library of Congress, and one selected for preservation by the United States National Film Registry. During his residence at "Casablanca Adobe", Koch was subpoenaed to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee in Washington D.C. He was subsequently blacklisted from the American film industry. He and his wife Anne turned "Casablanca Adobe" into a respite and rallying point for blacklisted artists as a place to organize, discuss, and relax- (4) That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; or "Casablanca Adobe" is determined to be historically significant because it embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Vernacular Adobe style of architecture similar to the original adobe homes. The house contains an attention to detail, proportion, setting, method of construction, quality of materials, and the almost pristine condition of the house creates a select example of Vernacular Adobe style of architecture. "Casablanca Adobe" is determined to be historically significant because of these qualities. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT In accordance with Section 15331 (Historical Resources Restoration/Rehabilitation) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed designation is categorically exempt from environmental review as the proposed designation meets the conditions outlined for preservation of a historic resource.

Director Ewing explained the project and notable elements as described in the staff REPORT. He further commented on the background of former owner Howard Koch, screenwriter of the movie "Casablanca" which lends to the name "Casablanca Adobe." Staff recommended that the Board recommend approval of the dwelling for designation as Class 1 Historic Site—68. Chair S. Williams commented that the staff report and individual reports were outstanding and gave credence to all the important historic elements of this significant property and its preservation. Board member Strahl corrected the reference to "Mission to Mars" on page 3 of the Staff Report which should be "Mission to Moscow". Staff will correct. Board member Marshall asked how the name "Casablanca" name got attached to the Adobe? There is nothing in the report as to how the property became the Casablanca Adobe. Board member DeLeeuw reported that he has been inside the house and that the interior is in as good a condition as the exterior. Unfortunately the interior is not within the purview of HSPB, but it is hoped that the owners maintain the interior historic elements and character.

Such designation would: 1. Place the subject property under the guidance of Municipal Code Section 8.05 2.

Grant possible property tax reduction opportunities to the owner under the State of California Mills Act. RECOMMENDATION That the HSPB recommend to the City Council the designation of Casablanca Adobe, at 590 South Indian Trail as a Class 1 Historic Site. A draft resolution is attached for consideration. Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report Page 2 of 7 Case HSPe-68 590 South Indian Trail "Casablanca Adobe" January 13, 2000 PRIOR ACTIONS The home is listed in the 1984 Riverside County Historic Resources Survey. On April 16, 2008, the owners, Jeff Trachta and Al Sophianopoulos filed an application for historic designation. On May 13, 2008, a subcommittee of the HSPB evaluated the site and recommended that the Board proceed with the application for Class 1 designation. BACKGROUND AND SETTING The site is approximately a 0.36-acre parcel located in a neighborhood known as "Warm Sands." Casablanca Adobe is one block south of Ramon Road, on the corner of South Indian Trail and East Camino Parocela, and is situated in a residential neighborhood comprised mostly of homes constructed from the 1930's to the 1950's. This portion of South Indian Trail is significant because it contains a median planter of mature Washingtonian fi/ifera palm trees dividing the street in half. These median planters only exist in two other Palm Springs residential neighborhoods. Casablanca Adobe was constructed in 1936 by Pearl McCallum McManus, and designed in the Vernacular Adobe style by Palm Springs builder Lee Miller. In 1946, legendary screenwriter Howard E. Koch purchased the home. Lee Miller used Craftsman elements in the design that created an idealized version of early California pioneer life. The house is built of adobe brick with the style's characteristic cedar shingle roof. (This roof has been replaced with an exact replica of the original cedar shingles and examined by staff and the HSPB Subcommittee). Textural elements include a rough stone foundation, peeled logs, exposed hand-hewn lintels, projecting support beams, and deep window recesses with cut-stone sills. The home is listed in the 1984 Riverside County Historic Resources Survey. The landscape at Casablanca Adobe contains mature desert landscape, including a large cacti and Eucalyptus tree that based on the size and trunk width, could have been planted when the house was built. An original adobe wall surrounds the perimeter of the yard, although the condition of the wall was not constructed or maintained as well as the home. Interiors of privately owned sites do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Historic Site Preservation Board; however, this home has significant interior elements worthy of note. Lee Miller invigorates the Adobe Vernacular style with Craftsman and Storybook elements such as the living room's rock inglenook fireplace with a decorative tile niche. Several farmhouse style doorways contain hand-hewn shelves and niches, which take the place of conventional exposed lintels. Lastly, the bathrooms' original tile has not been altered in almost seventy-five years and the finish is still the same. ra Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Deport Page 3 of 7 Case HSPB•68 590 South Indian Trail 'Casablanca Adobe' January 13.2009 ANALYSIS The property was originally part of a tract owned by Pearl McCallum McManus through her real estate company called Pioneer Properties. The tract was surveyed and platted into lots. Casablanca Adobe was constructed in 1936 by Pearl McManus one of the early pioneers of Palm Springs and prolific builder of hotels, designed and built in the Vernacular Adobe style by local builder, Lee Miller. Provenance The home was transferred several times after it was constructed. In 1946, legendary screenwriter, Howard E. Koch, purchased the house. Several of his most noteworthy accomplishments include writing Warner Brother's The Sea Hawk, penning Orson Welles's adaptation of War of the Worlds for Mercury Theater's popular radio program, and winning the Oscar for writing Casablanca. Mr. Koch wrote many other successful films while in Hollywood. After winning the Oscar for Casablanca, Koch decided that a quiet desert setting would be more conducive to writing compared to busy Los Angeles, and purchased the adobe hacienda at 590 South Indian Trail where he and his family lived full-time in the house during the Golden Years of Palm Springs from 1946 until 1954. While living in Casablanca Adobe, Koch wrote both the classic No Sad Songs for Me and Letter from an Unknown Woman. The Library of Congress designated Letter a cultural treasure, and the United States National Film Registry selected the film for preservation. During his residence at Casablanca Adobe, Koch was subpoenaed to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee in Washington D.C. regarding the film Mission to Mars that portrayed the new Soviet Union in a positive light. Warner Brothers refused to let him turn down the contract. The movie was produced shortly after the Russian Revolution. Koch was one of forty-one writers, actors, and producers whom the HUAC pressured to confess to either being members of the Communist Party or to name others suspected of communist activity. The politics behind the movement and Koch's refusal to turn against his friends and colleagues deemed him described by McCarthy & Co. as one of the "Unfriendly Nineteen". Koch was blacklisted from the American film industry. Subsequently he and his wife Anne turned Casablanca Adobe into a respite and rallying point for blacklisted artists as a place to organize, discuss, and relax. Eventually he and his family made a new life for themselves in Europe where he began writing again under the pseudonym "Peter Howard". Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report Page 4 of 7 Case RSPB-68 590 South Indian Trail "Casablanca Adobe" January 13 2009 Physical Description The adobe brick house is asymmetrical forming a "U" shaped layout with a pool, patio, a fireplace constructed entirely of rough stone, and planters in the rear of the house enveloped by the "U". Multiple rooflines, breaks in the stone foundation at strategic junctures, and variations in the rough adobe textured finish add to its architectural interest as Vernacular Adobe. Craftsman elements used in the design create an idealized version of early California pioneer life. Decorative tiles are placed on the walls at various points both outside and inside the home. The large front porch is ranch style with varied roof levels. Adobe columns with rock foundations support the peeled log cross beam bearing the address number. The front porch picture window has an exposed hand-hewn lintel and a deep cut-stone sill. Textural elements include a rough stone foundation, peeled logs, exposed hand-hewn lintels, projecting support beams, a cedar shingle roof and deep window recesses with cut-stone sills. Adobe homes have taken on many styles since the early 1800's. The defining elements of Vernacular Adobe homes of the 1930's contain many features of the original adobe homes such as "vigos"- large ceiling beams, earthen walls, peeled logs, built in "bancos"-benches, natural mud and lime plasters, and textured surfaces. Casablanca Adobe contains all of these elements. The building has undergone minimal physical changes and retains a high degree of architectural and historical integrity. Those items that have been added which do not contribute to the historic integrity of the site include mechanical equipment for air conditioning, and gas pipes painted to match the color of the house that run along a wall and the roof. All these components could be removed or modified and thus are not considered detrimental to the overall defining characteristics or historic integrity of the site. The perimeter wall is also not considered worthy of Class 1 designation because the wall, although adobe, was not constructed in a similar way to the house or maintained as well as the home. REQUIRED FINDINGS Definition of an Historic Site, Section 8.05.020 of the Municipal Code provides the definition of a historic site as follows; (a) Historic Site: A historic site is any real property such as: a building; a structure, including but not limited to archways, tiled areas and similar architectural elements; an archaeological excavation or object that is unique or significant because of its location, design, setting, materials, workmanship or aesthetic effect and: liislanc Site Preservation Board Staff Report Page 5 of 7 Case HSPS-68 590 South Indian T rail 'Casablanca Adobe" January 13 2009 History 1.

She hired well renowned architects to build hotels in town, including Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, to build The Oasis Hotel in 1923. She also hired Paul Williams to design the Tennis Club in the 1930's and Stewart Williams to build the Oasis Commercial building in 1952. She is recognized for her aforementioned local contributions and for building the Casablanca Adobe. In 1946, legendary screenwriter and Oscar winner, Howard E. Koch, purchased the house.

During his residence at Casablanca Adobe, Koch was subpoenaed to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee in Washington D.C. He was pressured by the HUAC to confess to being a member of the Communist Party or to name others suspected of communist activity. Koch's loyalty to his friends deemed him described by McCarthy & Co. as one of the "Unfriendly Nineteen" and subsequently blacklisted from the American film industry. He and his wife Anne turned Casablanca Adobe into a respite and rallying point for blacklisted artists as a place to organize, discuss, and relax. Architecture (4) That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; or Casablanca Adobe located at 590 South Indian Trail is determined to be historically significant because it embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Vernacular Adobe style of architecture similar to the original adobe homes.

The house is historically significant for several reasons, including both its famous residents and its architecture. THE RESIDENTS 1c¢�cml,1".aJ Casablanca Adobe's most well known resident is legendary Hollywood screenwriter Howard Koch,' who Casal+lanea won the 0scar'9 for writing what is arguably the best film of all time... Casablanca, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman and directed by Michael Curtiz.2 This film lends Casablanca Adobe its name. Koch owned and lived in the house during two significant periods to American history, the brightest and darkest eras of Hollywood's past: The Golder, Era and The Hollywood Blacklist. He was destined to play a significant role in both. (toward Koch came to Hollywood in the late thirties, surfing a wave c5 �F17. ` of success as the writer of Orson Welles's adaptation of If7ar of the Afll�9S> l9� 1<3� Worlds for Mercury Theater's popular radio program. The famous 0 F zw � `WA broadcast so realistically dramatized a Martian invasion that many FSI0111��po listeners mistook it for an actual news report.- Koch also penned several Broadway plays, including Great Scott, Give Us This Day, and �R In Time to Came, a collaboration with John Huston, directed by Otto d Premin eir,4 Koch immediately found work in Hollywood as a contract writer for Warner Brothers, but in an unusual move for a cog in the Hollywood factory — especially a newbie—lie was very choosy about his projects. His first assignment, thanks to Huston's influence, was the Errol Flynn vehicle, The Sea Hawk, an unheard-of opportunity for a first-time screenwriter. The picture was a huge box office success, and Koch's star began to rise.'

TheLeffer• I nomination. . . . But it was Casablanca that assured Koch's place in history. He is credited with giving Casablal7Ca its emotional weight. According to Humphrey Bo.ar-t's biographer: A liberal activist, [Koch] was brought in to strengthen the political and dramatic aspects of the story. Koch changed Rick from an expatriate lawyer on the run from a scandal to a bruised idealist with a hidden anti-fascist past; 1rom the self-pitying drinker that Bogart hated... to the rough cynic who is really for the underdog.7 In other words, Koch cemented the iconic Bogart persona into the American psyche. This collaboration marks the beginning of Koch and Bogart's lifelong friendship. Unfortunately, Koch's liberal leanings, which were such an advantage in the forties, would become much more than a disadvantage a mere decade later. Casablanca filmmakers also give Koch credit for Rick's letting the young Bulgarian couple win at roulette in order to buy a visa to get out of Casablanca—a scene inspired by a real-life event at a Palm Springs casrno- 8 - I KOCh occeplA his ONCO! In addition to Best Screenplay, the film won Academy Awards' for Best Picture and Best Director, along with several nominations, including Bogart's Best Actor nod-9 Casablanca is undeniably one of our greatest films, second only to Citizen Kane in the American Film Institute's list of the Top 100 films of all time.10 A student who attended one of Koch's lectures at Stanford University sums up the ftlm's timeless appeal this way, "Casablanca shows you things you really long for. There are all those graspable values floating around in the film It's full of a lost heritage that we can't live. Life is no longer like that-"' Ibid. 9 Lax,uric and A.M.Sperber Bogart.London. the Onun Pubhshwe Ojoup Ltd,1997.p 189 °ftlmmferenau.Com/Wntor.-and-Pmduclwn•Anisls-Ja-Kr/Koch-Howard-W.hlmi.

The desert held a special magic for them, Koch says. "If people in the industry are not always willing to make their pictures like life, I have found many of them eager to make their lives as much as possible like their pictures- This is whar Palm Springs offered them a dream world complete with a built-in mttagc."I Koch was quite productive in Palm Springs. While living in Casablanca Adobe, Koch wrote both the classic No Sad Songs for Me, starring Margaret Sullivan, and Letter From an Unknown Woman, the picture that was Koch's personal favorite-19 it stars Joan Fontaine and Louis Jourdan and is directed by Max Ophuls, The Library of Congress has designated Letter a cultural treasure, and the United States National Film Registry selected the film for preservation-20 1 he late forties marked Koch's transition from Great Al �•: Screenwriter to Great American. While living at Casablanca Adobe, Koch was subpoenaed to appear before the house Un-American Activities Committee in Washington.21 Koch was one of forty-one writers, actors, and producers whom the HUAC pressured either to confess to being members of the Conunumst Party or to save themselves by naming others suspected of communist activity.22 — - HUrt C Hcurrng Ironically, Koch was subpoenaed for the one film that Warner Brothers refused to let him turn down, Mission to Moscow, which portrayed the new Soviet Republic in a positive light," Produced shortly after the Russian Revolution, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt enlisted the Hollywood publicity machine to help bolster popular sentiment toward America's newest ally in the war effort- Both Harry and Jack Warner called Koch on the carpet and pressured him to accept the assignment or else.24 Even more ironically, Jack Warner was the man who gave up Koch's narhe-15 But Koch chose to put aside his own self-interest and to stand up bravely for the American traditions of free speech, thought, and expression. He refused to turn against his friends and colleagues and was contemptuously described by McCarthy & Co- as one of the "Unfriendly Nineteen"—a group which also included groundbreaking playwright Bertolt Brecht 26 "Koch,p. 173. 1°The N...

He would arangc a meeting for me with the attorney who was the liason to the House Un-American Activities Committee. All I had to do was spend a half-hour with this party, renouncing some of my unpopular political views and associates,and pay die attorney seventy-live hundred dollars [ told him that was a pretty expensive half-hour, both in money and to conscience. I-Ie said, "Don't worry about the money. A studio will advance it as a down payment on a writing assignment." "Thal isn't what I'm worried about. It's the other." He brushed that concern aside. "What do you care what you tell those bastards' Keep your fingers crossed." "I'd have to keep them crossed the rest of my life." I was curious. "Tell me, who gets the seventy-five hundred dollars'? I'fiat's a pretty stiff fee for a half-hour of anyone's time." "That's their business. Not ours." "Well, thanks for trying, but the answer is no."' "Don't decide now. This is your last chance to slay in pictures Talk it over with your wife." "Her answer wouldn't be any different." He shook his head. "Too bad. You're throwing away a fine career." I went back to Palm Springs. There was a black telephone in an alcove qff the living room I had never been conscious of how silent a phone could be until it stops ringing."" Koch was blacklisted. Nothing could change that. Not even Sidi power. Bogart and Bacall, with Koch, even chartered a flight to Washington, D,C, to protest the government's targeting of the entertainment industry-28 But Koch's innate good nature never faltered. In fact, - he and Anne tamed Casablanca Adobe into a respite and rallying point for blacklisted artists... a place to organize, discuss, blow off steam, and of course, relax and recharge. -Koch and his wife bolstered others who were unfairly persecuted with good humor, a friendly shoulder, and plenty of good barbecue, swimming, and j All ; 4r z, Y vaa beautiful desert weather.29 In spite of their efforts, Koch and his friends were eventually overwhelmed by the relentless wave of «mphrcy Rognrr nerd Lurrren&+cup morch McCarlhyism- But he was not defeated.

Gl� 7 Today, Koch is vindicated and honored with other artists who refused to be intimidated by the McCarthy witch-hunt. His vitality and good energy continue to invigorate Casablanca Adobe to this day. Other Casablanca Adobe residents have no less distinguished pedigrees. In 1961, Casablanca Adobe was acquired by Mered and .lane [,ykken Hoff31 Mrs Hoff is an active member of the Palm Springs Historical Society Board of Directors. Bom in Palm Springs, she is the daughter of Carl Lykken, one of Palm Springs's foremost pioneers. I.ykken owned and operated the town's most successful general store and site of Palm Springs's first telephone. 32 Lykken served the town for 59 years. Ile was a founding member of the Fire Department, Police Protection District, Rotary Club, Polo Club, Desert Riders, Community Church, and Desert Museum. He also served as president of the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Hoff continues his tradition of public service." Other notable residents of Casablanca Adobe include Flora Steffens, Marshall and Jessie Setnan, Peter and Vera Sheptenko, and character actress Dorothy Reynolds.}4 THE ARCHITECTURE Casablanca Adobe was built by the venerable Pcarl McCallum McManus and designed by Palm Springs master builder Lee MillerS5 in the Vernacular Adobe style. Storybook and Craftsman elements lend the house a whimsical, romantic flavor, reinvigorating the adobe style and creating an idealized vision of early California pioneer life, typical of Hollywood Westerns. As Howard Koch noted, people in the film business are eager to make their life as much like their pictures as possible. -- Echoing the rustic frontier lifestyle—and Palm Springs's own McCallum Adobe— Casablanca f Adobe is built of adobe brick with the style's 5 characteristic cedar shingle roof. Fantasy elements start with the rough, stone foundation ;. that lends textural interest as do an abundance of peeled logs, exposed hand-hewn lintels, projecting support beams, and deep window recesses with cut-stone sills. Embedded decorative tile vignettes add a touch of fancy that no real California pioneer would have time for.

Multtple rooflines, breaks in the stone foundation at strategic points, and variations in the rough adobe ` finish add to this illusion. Touches that romanticize the pioneer lifestyle abound- The large, welcoming front porch lira i.m�AtH� evokes the adobe ranchero homes of early Spanish Californios ��'' "- A whimsical outdoor fireplace constructed entirely of rough stone recalls days around the campfire Large windows and doors off practically every room lend themselves to the fantasy of outdoor living. Even the inglenook fireplace (a design element more commonly found in Craftsman Bungalows) lends itself to the feeling of an indoor campfire J;.. because it is constructed entirely of stone and logs. Farmhouse- ;,. , style doors and an open gable ceiling with hand-hewn buttresses enhance the outdoorsy feeling in the living room and give one the sense of being in a one-room cabin. What might have been ordinary display niches in a less inspired Adobe Vernacular home, Miller romanticizes using hand-hewn shelves and colorful tile. No detail escapes his eye. Every inch of Casablanca Adobe is an opportunity to add fantasy, character, and warmth-- all supporting his Hollywood glamorized vision of pioneer life in Old California- The only rooms that don't contribute to the illusion of roughing it are the bathrooms- .Here you find luxury as only Hollywood's Golden Era could define it. Generous, sunken bathtubs are decorated with colorful tile. Vanities and storage are built for indulgent excess, and electric wall heaters ensure that this Home on the Range never gets too chilly: Fortunately, Casablanca Adobe's unique design elements have been almost ' completely unaltered since its construction in 1936, The current owner is w in the process of preserving the architect's original vision. 9 CONCLUSION Casablanca Adobe is worthy of designation because of its association with the lives of persons and events significant in the past, including the life of Oscar-winning Screenwriter Howard Koch, his creative output while residing there, his persecution by the HUAC, and Casablana Ahobe's service as both a respite and rallying point for Hollywood's blacklisted community. The house identifies interest and value as part of the heritage of the City, Stale, and Nation. Casablanca Adobe also exemplifies one of the best remaining architectural elements of attention to architectural design, details, materials and craftsmanship of its historic period in Palm Springs. It may be the last remaining example of Palm Springs artisan Lee Miller's work- It embodies the distinctive characteristics of the type, period, and method of construction of the Adobe Vernacular style, while evoking a sense of romanticism for Califomia's frontier past by adding significant artistic touches that make it entirely distinctive and possess high artistic value. lc ' ELEVATIONS M111,4 21 .. �jLF � � a ,_ �6�i � ,.
