Ready, City Manager BY: Department of Planning Services SUMMARY The owner of The Carl E. Haymond Residence submitted a historic resources report ("the report") dated April, 2017, prepared by the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation (PSPF) seeking Class 1 historic site designation for the property. The report asserts that the Haymond Residence meets the definition of a historic site as defined in Municipal Code Section 8.05.020 and was included in the draft 2015 Citywide Historic Resources Report prepared by the firm Historic Resources Group of Pasadena. On June 13, 2017, the Historic Site Preservation Board ("HSPB") voted to recommend that the City Council designate the Carl Haymond Residence a Class 1 historic site and made findings in support of its recommendation in the attached Resolution HSPB #107. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Open the public hearing and receive public testimony. 2. Close the public hearing and adopt Resolution , "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING THE CARL E. HAYMOND RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 1415 NORTH CAMINO CENTRO AS A CLASS 1 HISTORIC SITE (HSPB #107), APN 505-192-008." BACKGROUND: The single family residence at 1415 North Camino Centro was designed by the iiEM NO. 2 • A' City Council Staff Report October 4, 2017 -- Page 2 Case HSPB #107 architectural firm of Frey & Chambers in 1963 and construction was completed in 1964 according to County tax records. The roughly 3,000 square foot home is sited on a 15,246 square foot lot in the Las Palmas Estates tract. (now part of the Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization). The home is designed in a Modern architectural style with simple rectilinear volumes with flat roofs. Unique to the home is a series of modular pre -cast aluminum decorative screen panels. On the front fagade, groupings of these decorative panels form privacy screens and on the rear patio terrace roof they serve as the structural support for the rear patio terrace roof. The screens are both the "structure" and the "ornament" for the home; reflecting a popular tenet of the Modern period in architectural design. A more detailed discussion of the home's characteristics can be found in the attached historic resources report. -. •.� B.�-. •'ry -:A.. 'r .'

ANALYSIS: Historic Preservation activities in Palm Springs are regulated under Municipal Code Chapter 8.05 ("Historic Preservation'), which is adopted for the purpose of: "... preserving areas and specific buildings of the city which reflect elements of its cultural, social, economic, political, architectural and archaeological history. This chapter is intended to stabilize and improve buildings, structures or areas which are considered to be of historical, architectural, archaeological or ecological value, to foster civic beauty, to strengthen the local economy and to promote the use of specific buildings for the education and welfare of the citizens." Desianation of Historic Sites Only the City Council may designate historic sites. When the Historic Site Preservation Board ("the Board") determines that a certain site or district meets the definition of a historic site (or district) as outlined in Municipal Code Chapter 8.05.020, it shall make findings in support of such determination that are forwarded as a resolution to the City Council for consideration. (See attached Resolution HSPB #107). In turn, the City Council must make findings that historic designation of a particular site would further the purpose of the Historic Preservation Ordinance. A draft resolution is 02 City Council Staff Report October 4, 2017 -- Page 3 Case HSPB #107 attached for the Council's consideration. Conditions that apply to Class 1 Historic Sites According to Section 8.05 of the Municipal Code, the following shall apply to a Class 1 Historic Site: 1. It shall meet the definition of a historic site as outlined in Municipal Code Section 8.05.020. 2. An archival file shall be maintained on the property by the City. 3. It may be qualified as 'historic' at the federal, state, and/or county level. 4. The structure/site may not be modified nor objects removed without the approval of the City Council. 5. The use may be limited by the City Council to the extent that it may impair the integrity of the site. 6. A marker explaining the historic nature of the site will be installed at the site in a location viewable from the public way. 7. Compliance with all rules and regulations for Historic Sites and Historic Districts under Article IV of Chapter 8.05 of the Municipal Code shall be required. 8. The City Clerk shall submit the Council Resolution to the County recorder for recordation within 90 days of the effective date of the Council's resolution. Definition of an Historic Site Section 8.05.020 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code ("PSMC") provides the definition of a historic site as follows: (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. In addition to the definition above, the following criteria is also used in determining whether a parcel or property under consideration meets the definition of a historic site: Criterion 1. Is the site associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community; or Criterion 2. Is the site associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contribution to national, state or local history; or Criterion 3. Does the site reflect or exemplify a particular period of the national, state or local history; Criterion 4. Does the site embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; Criterion 5. Does the site present the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age; or that possesses 03 City Council Staff Report October 4, 2017 -- Page 4 Case HSPB #107 high artistic value; Criterion 6. Does the site represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; Criterion 7. That has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state or local history or prehistory. As noted in the attached HSPB Resolution HSPB #107, the Board found the Haymond Residence meets the definition of a historic site including Criterion 3 and 4. INTEGRITY Although the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance does not mandate it, the Board evaluates the Integrity of a site under consideration for historic designation against seven aspects or qualities of Integrity as established by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. These include location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. As noted in the attached Resolution HSPB #107, the Board found the that the Carl Haymond Residence retains a high degree of physical integrity, which further supports the Board's recommendation for its designation as a Class 1 historic site. DEFINING HISTORIC CHARACTERISTICS The HSPB identified the physical character -defining features of this site that it believes contribute to its historic significance and those that do not. These are outlined in the attached HSPB Resolution #107. REQUIRED FINDINGS Pursuant to PSMC Section 8.05.145, following the public hearing, the HSPB made findings that the Haymond Residence meets the definition of a historic site including Criterion 3 (exemplifying a period in history) and Criterion 4 (embodying the characteristics of a type, period or method of construction). Those findings are summarized in the attached Resolution HSPB #107. In considering a recommendation from the HSPB, pursuant PSMC Section 8.05.160, the City Council must find that the purposes of the Historic Preservation Ordinance are furthered by designation of the property as an historic site. The purpose of the historic preservation ordinance is outlined in PSMC 8.05.010 as noted above. The designation of the Haymond Residence would further the purpose of the historic preservation ordinance because it would preserve this building which exemplifies the post-war period in Palm Springs in which the previously popular "revival styles" of the 20's and 30's were cast off as being too "old-fashioned" and architectural stylistic preferences City Council Staff Report October 4, 2017 -- Page 5 Case HSPB #107 began leaning toward more sophisticated and internationally recognized Modern architectural styles which are characterized in this home. It also embodies a tenet of the Modern period in architectural design in which "structure" is "ornament". This is expressed in the use of cast aluminum screens that provided not only structural support and privacy, but also served as the decorative ornament for the home. Therefore, designation of the Carl Haymond Residence as a Class 1 historic site furthers the purpose of the historic preservation ordinance. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed historic site designation is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical changes to the environment, directly or indirectly. NOTIFICATION Pursuant to section 8.05.140 of the Municipal Code of Palm Springs, all property owners within five hundred (500) feet of the subject property have been notified and notice was made in a newspaper of general circulation. CONCLUSION: The Carl Haymond residence meets the definition of a historic site as outlined in PSMC 8.05.020 and if designated, would further the purpose of the historic preservation ordinance. A draft resolution is attached to this staff report for the City Council's consideration. FFnFgg, Director of Planning Services a`cus L. FNAr, MPA, P.E., P.L.S.

The City Council carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, included, but not limited to, the staff report and all written and oral testimony presented. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS RESOLVES: SECTION 1. The subject parcel meets the definition of a historic site because it conforms to the following criteria established in Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC) Section 8.05.020 (`Definitions') as follows: (a) Historic Site. it 8 Resolution No. Page 2 of 6 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. The Council finds that the Haymond Residence meets this definition because of its design, which reflects the tenets of the Modern era in architecture and its aesthetic effect that seamlessly merges the interior and exterior living spaces of the home. The City Council also evaluated the site against the seven criteria found in PSMC 8.05.020 that further establish the definition of a historic site or district as follows: Criterion 3: That the site reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history; On page 22, the report examines the Haymond Residence under this criterion. It asserts that the site reflects the Modern Period in architecture (1925-1960's). As noted in the report on page 23, the period in history from the 1930's through the 1960's saw a significant shift in the prevalent architectural styles of both commercial and residential structures in Palm Springs. Development in Palm Springs, from its early beginnings as a small village centered around the geothermal springs, tended to be in "revivalist" architectural styles that were popular throughout the United States during the 1920's and 30's. Derivatives of Spanish Colonial Revival were the most popular style found in Palm Springs. As the town grew and attracted celebrities and wealthy socialites, the revivalist styles began to seem "old-fashioned" and Modern architectural styles began to gain in popularity. By the post -World War II period, Palm Springs was emerging as a "hot bed" of Modern Architecture, as stylistic tastes became more sophisticated and many young architects found ample commissions with clients willing to embrace the "newer" Modern style. The Haymond Residence is a good example of a custom - designed private residence integrating the tenets of Modernism: smooth unadorned surfaces, minimal ornament, use of screen walls to define space and provide visual privacy open floor plans, and an emphasis on "blurring the lines" between indoor space and outdoor space through the use of expansive glass doors and windows. The design and detailing of the home at 1415 North Camino Centro integrate many of these design features. The City Council determines that the Haymond Residence reflects the Modern period in architectural design, which became a prevalent architectural choice in Palm Springs during this period and thus qualifies as a historic site under this criterion. Criterion 4: That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; The report on page 22 and 23 evaluates the Haymond residence against this criterion. The Haymond residence is constructed of conventional wood frame and stucco construction. Its significance relative to this criterion lies not in its method of Resolution No. Page 3 of 6 construction, but rather in its use of factory -manufactured components such as aluminum sliding doors and windows, "jalousie type" windows for ventilation, mass- produced steel kitchen cabinets and modular cast aluminum grill units (referred to in the report as "AGU's"). These mass-produced screen units, much like the ubiquitous architectural concrete screen block units found in scores of buildings in Palm Springs from the fifties and sixties, could be purchased and arranged in various configurations to create privacy screens, solar control, garden walls, and in the case of the Haymond residence, were stacked vertically between thin steel tube columns used to support the expansive roof over the back terrace. These cast aluminum screen panels became the "ornament" in the otherwise undecorated and planer forms and volumes of the home. In this way, the Haymond Residence embodies distinctive characteristics of the Modern period in architecture in which "ornament" became expressed as functional and structural components of the home rather than "applied decoration". Thus, the City Council finds that the Haymond Residence meets the definition of a historic site as characterized under Criterion 4. SECTION 2. DEFINING HISTORIC CHARACTERISTICS AND NON-CONTRIBUTING FEATURES: The physical character -defining historic features of this site include the following: 1. The simple rectilinear volumes and massing of the residence. 2. The stucco "frames" with the modular prefabricated metal screen units. 3. The double front entry doors with matching solid transom panels. 4. The thin steel tube columns with the ornamental metal screens and the expansive terrace roof. 5. The diamond -shaped terrazzo and exposed aggregate concrete of the rear terrace and the exposed aggregate concrete walkway "pads" at the front entry. 6. The expansive use of glass across the rear fagade that "blurs the distinction between indoor and outdoor living spaces (note that some of the large sliding glass doors and window units are not original, however, the "wall-to-wall" transparency achieved by these large expanses of glass is the contributing feature). The non-contributing features include the following: 1. The site landscaping. 2. The outdoor shower and glass pocket door off the master bath. 3. The water features adjacent to the front entry, south of the swimming pool. 4. The barbeque grill structure. 5. The various gates in the garden walls with the ornamental metal panels (while these panels are of the same pattern and design as those found on the front and back of the home, they were not part of the original construction of the home. SECTION 3. FINDINGS: Pursuant to PSMC 8.05.160 ("Findings and Decisions — Resolution'), the City Council must make findings in support of the historic site designation as follows: '0 1 Resolution No. Page 4 of 6 "If the city council shall find that the purposes of this chapter are furthered by designation of property as an historic site or district, such findings shall be stated in a resolution designating such property within such historic site or district. " The purpose of the Historic Preservation Chapter of the Palm Springs Municipal Code is outlined in PSMC Section 8.05.010 as follows: "This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authority of (California) Government Code Section 37361 for the purpose of preserving areas and specific buildings of the city which reflect elements of its cultural, social, economic, political, architectural and archaeological history. This chapter is intended to stabilize and improve buildings, structures or areas which are considered to be of historical, architectural, archaeological or ecological value, to foster civic beauty, to strengthen the local economy and to promote the use of specific buildings for the education and welfare of the citizens. " The Council finds that the designation of the Carl Haymond Residence would further the purpose of the historic preservation ordinance because it would preserve this building which exemplifies the post-war period in Palm Springs in which the previously popular "revival styles" of the 20's and 30's were cast off as being too "old-fashioned" and architectural stylistic preferences began leaning toward more sophisticated and internationally recognized Modern architectural styles which are characterized in this home. It also embodies a tenet of the Modern period in architectural design in which "structure" is "ornament". This is expressed in the use of cast aluminum screens that provided not only structural support and privacy, but also served as the decorative ornament for the home. Therefore, designation of the Carl Haymond Residence as a Class 1 historic site furthers the purpose of the historic preservation ordinance. SECTION 4: CONDITIONS THAT APPLY TO CLASS 1 HISTORIC SITES. According to Section 8.05 of the Municipal Code, the following shall apply to a Class 1 Historic Site: 1. It shall meet the definition of a historic site as outlined in Municipal Code Section 8.05.020. 2. An archival file shall be maintained on the property by the City. 3. It may be qualified as 'historic' at the federal, state, and/or county level. 4. The structure/site may not be modified nor objects removed without the approval of the City Council. 11 Resolution No. Page 5 of 6 5. The use may be limited by the City Council to the extent that it may impair the integrity of the site. 6. A marker explaining the historic nature of the site will be installed at the site in a location viewable from the public way. 7. Compliance with all rules and regulations for Historic Sites and Historic Districts under Article IV of Chapter 8.05 of the Municipal Code shall be required. 8. The City Clerk shall submit the Council Resolution to the County recorder for recordation within 90 days of the effective date of the Council's resolution. SECTION 5. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The City Council finds that the Class 1 historic site designation is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical changes to the environment, directly or indirectly. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby designates the residence at 1415 North Camino Centro (APN #505-192-008), "The Carl E. Haymond Residence," a Class 1 Historic Site (Case HSPB #107).

Code ("PSMC") Section 8.05.145, the HSPB shall make findings upon which it shall base its recommendation to the City Council concerning the designation of such proposed historic site. The HSPB finds that the subject parcel meets the definition of a historic site because it conforms to the following criteria established in Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC) Section 8.05.020 ("Definitions') as follows: 14 Resolution No. 107 Page 2 of 4 (a) Historic Site.

In March of 2017, the PSPF board of directors, in consultation with the owner of the Mr. & Mrs. Carl E. Haymond Residence, assigned the task of writing the residence's Class 1 Historic Site nomination to board members Ron & Barbara Marshall. The Owner's Letter of Support is at Appendix I. HSPB r- 2 6APRIL2017 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • SIGNIFICANCE: The Mr. & Mrs. Carl E. Haymond Residence (hereinafter referred to as the "Haymond Residence") located at 1415 North Camino Centro in Palm Springs, finished construction in 1964. Building permit #85642 of May 17, 1963 describes the work as a 7 Room Frame & Stucco Dwelling [a] 2 car garage [and] Compo[sition] Roof." Designed by the architectural firm of Frey & Chambers, and built by H. M. "Mike" Eversz, the Haymond Residence is an important example of a custom modernist structure and it exhibits numerous stylistic features that place it within the historic context of Palm Springs' modern period. DESIGNATION CRITERIA: The Haymond Residence has not previously been evaluated for Class 1 Historic Site eligibility, but it is included on the draft 2015 Citywide Historic Resources Inventory. A brief summary of the evaluation contained in this nomination is as follows: 8.05.020 (a) paragraph 1 - Events: This criterion recognizes properties associated with events or patterns of events or historic trends. In this nomination, the applicable "pattern of events" is the gradual rise of Palm Springs' prominence in midcentury architectural excellence. The Haymond Residence is an outstanding example of custom residential design and the construction of buildings within the context of midcentury desert modernism. The nominated private residence is associated with this pattern of events for its ability to exemplify the modern period of the national, state and local history. The Haymond Residence is associated with this pattern of events, and is associated as well with Criterion 3 for its ability to exemplify a particular period of the national, state or local history. Therefore, the residence qualifies for listing as a Class 1 Historic Site under Criterion 1. 8.05.020 (a) paragraphs 3.4 & 5 - Desian/Construction: The Haymond Residence is eligible under the theme of Modern architecture because it possesses numerous distinctive characteristics that make up the modernist style including lack of adornment, a flat roof, use of mass-produced materials (like aluminum grille units), man-made materials suitable to the harsh desert environment (including aluminum, steel, glass and concrete), deep eaves to moderate the solar heat and an architectural design that blurs the line between the indoors and outdoors. As a custom residence skillfully designed by Frey & Chambers, it rises to the level of work by master architects with high artistic values. Therefore, for its distinctive characteristics, as the work of Master architects. and for its high artistic values, the residence qualifies as a Class 1 Historic Site under Criteria 3. 4 and 5. SUMMARY: This evaluation finds the Haymond Residence eligible for listing as a Palm Springs Historic Site under 8.05.020 (a) paragraphs 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the local ordinance's seven criteria. Additionally, the Haymond Residence retains a "high degree" of integrity (see Section 7, "Integrity Analysis").

Statement of Significance Summary The Haymond Residence, located at 1415 North Camino Centro, was constructed on Lot 9, Block L, of Las Palmas Estates, in 1964 (see the grant deed in Appendix III). First Owners, Mr. & Mrs. Carl E. Haymond Carl E. Haymond was the chief operator of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer station KFC, Seattle's second radio station. When radio station KFC closed, he went on to operate station KDZE (later KFOA), also known as the Rhodes Department Store broadcasting station. SCHEDULE Won. Tar. w.d. Thur.

Haymond is pictured in the center oval with the initials CEH. In 1926, Haymond mortgaged his home to buy radio station KMO in Tacoma and ran it until 1954; he also started one of the area's first TV stations, KMO-TV. In 1929, he bought radio station KFEC and changed the call letters to KIT. Though originally licensed in Portland, Haymond moved KIT to nearby Yakima (which had no station) believing it would be more profitable and better serve the community. c.

This photograph of Carl Haymond appeared in a circa 1943 KMO pamphlet entitled "Radio at War." Local Records. One of the earliest mentions of Carl E. Haymond and his wife Margaret in the local media can be found in the April 12, 1935 edition of the Desert Sun newspaper. The paper reports them as having stayed "several days" at the Arenas Lodge and Haymond is identified as the "owner and manager of KMO radio station in Tacoma, Washington." The next mention doesn't appear until 1939 (reporting their stay at La Serena Cottages)- Thereafter, the Haymonds appeared in the local media with increasing frequency. In 1940, Carl is mentioned as being registered for the Palm Springs Invitational Golf Tournament at the O'Donnell Golf Club. In 1942, he is recruited to serve on the central committee of the newly formed "Palm Springs Home Owners Representative Committee," along with local notables Mrs- Francis Crocker and John Hamrick (the impetus for the formation of the committee was to oppose a city -sponsored tax increase). HSPB C\ 6APRIL2017 10 Both Carl and Margaret supported the WWII homefront effort (their son Dexter served in the Army Signal Corps). Margaret assisted the local Palm Springs area Red Cross committee and Carl collected monies for the Red Cross War Fund. In a February 1944 Desert Sun article reporting on activities at the famous Desert Inn, Carl is identified as a "local prominent golfer and winter resident." This photograph of George Strebe and Carl Haymond appeared in the April 16, 1943 edition of the Desert Sun newspaper. In May of 1946, Carl was elected to the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce along with such local notables as Earl Coffman, Francis Crocker, Ruth Hardy.

The Haymonds (who knew the Cains from Tacoma) were hosting them at their Palm Springs home. The photograph was taken just after the newly -elected Senator Cain's bruising 1946 political campaign. Cain (who was known to his friends as "Hurricane") served as the Republican senator from Washington state from 1946-1953. HSPB o 6APRIL2017 11 .11 In January of 1955, Carl won the inaugural Palm Springs Desert Senior Golf Tournament. The 54-hole tournament was played on three consecutive days at the O'Donnell Golf Club, the Tamarisk Golf Club and finally at the Thunderbird Country Club (where Haymond shot a 75 in the final round). The Bakersfield Californian newspaper reported that Carl E. Haymond died on January 19, 1977, at the age of 80. Local telephone directory home addresses associated with Carl and Margaret Haymond include: from the 1941 directory Camino del Norte (no street number); from the 1941/42 directory 1410 Camino del Mirasol; from the 1943, 1944, 1944/45, 1945, 1946, 1946/47, 1947, 1947/48 directories 591 West Stevens Road; from the 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955 directories 350 Camino Del Sur; from the 1961, 1962 and 1963 directories 1369 [South] Calle De Maria; and from the 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1967 directories 1415 Camino Centro. While the Haymonds were prominent and philanthropic individuals, they do not rise to the level of having made a "meaningful contribution" to the local history. Accordingly, additional research on the Haymonds was deemed of limited value since Criterion 2 of the local code (which recognizes properties "associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to the national, state or local history") is not asserted in this nomination.

There is abundant information about architect Albert Frey (including Joseph Rosa's 160- page book Albert Frey, Architect) and he designed many projects that have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Hence, he can reasonably be considered a "master architect." Appendix IV is Frey's obituary which appeared in the November 17, 1998 edition of the Los Angeles Times newspaper. It provides an interesting overview of Frey's career and some explanation of his design philosophy. While architect Robson Chambers is less well-known, he was considered a very talented architect by his peers and spent his later career at the University of California Santa Barbara, where he worked as the campus architect. His biography is at Appendix V. The Builder Building permit #135642 (issued on May 17, 1963) identifies H. M. "Bill" Eversz as the contractor for the Haymond Residence. Eversz was involved in many high -profile projects and is credited as the general contractor for President Eisenhower's Eldorado Country Club home in the December 1, 1961 edition of the Desert Sun newspaper. In this November 21, 1958 Desert Sun newspaper photograph, H. M. "Bill" Eversz (left) is identified as the "construction coordinator" for the Eldorado Country Club clubhouse.

The Haymond Residence is a single-family, three -bedroom, three -bath, 2,638 square foot structure (with 1,272 additional square feet comprising the garage and porches per permit) with a multi -level flat roof. Ceiling heights vary from over nine -feet (e.g., in the living room) to just over 8-feet (e.g., in the kitchen). The east (street -side) fapade of the residence features two large walls of cast aluminum grille units (AGUs) supported by "cement plaster" (stucco) columns and structurally braced at the roof plane. The AGUs screen the house from the morning sun and are both functional and decorative. On the west side of the residence, a loggia (an extravagant HSPB 6APRIL2017 '5 0 16'Y2' deep) moderates the afternoon sun. (The loggia is called out as a "porch" on the plans.) Original jalousie windows allow the outside air to circulate throughout the house and original skylights flood the interior with light. The AGUs, manufactured by the Tennessee Fabricating Company (TFC) of Memphis, Tennessee, are undoubtedly the most striking architectural feature and over 170 AGUs are installed throughout the Haymond Residence. (One source indicates that the AGUs were also manufactured by the Schmidt Ornamental Iron Works of Evanston, Illinois.) TFC manufactured these "design units" in two standard sizes (12"x12" and 18"x18"), and in at least three different designs, including the "Pacesetter," "Rhythm" and "Trend" patterns. The Haymond Residence uses AGUs in the Pacesetter pattern and in the larger 18" x18" size. All AGUs bear the "TFC" mark. This street view shows the two walls (and three arrays) of AGUs shading the residence from the morning sun. The vintage TFC AGUs in the driveway gate were recently installed by the owner. (Courtesy Bill Stewart) Based on secondary sources, the AGUs were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright disciple John deKoven Hill, AIA (1920-1996), and were most famously used throughout House Beautiful magazine's "1960 Pace Setter" home (the historical name of the 1960 Pace Setter Home is the J. Ralph and Patricia Corbett Residence and it is located at 2501 Grandin Road, Cincinnati, Ohio). Hill, who was also the architecture editor of House Beautiful magazine, is credited with being the architect of the Corbett Residence in association with architects John W. Geiger and Paul L. Soderburg. Additional information about these AGUs can be found in Appendix VI. HSPB " d EAPRIL2017 16 `^ ' Shown here is the larger of the two walls which consists of a pair of AGU arrays. The AGUs elegantly screen the residence from the morning sun. Like many architect -designed homes, the residence is "well -zoned." This translates into clearly -defined public zones (e.g., family and social areas) and private zones (e.g., sleeping areas). The entry sequence is straightforward: passing through a street -side metal gate, one walks over large concrete aggregate pavers that lead to the original white terrazzo pad (91/2'01/2'). The terrazzo pad announces the entry to the residence through two imposing (eight -foot -tall) doors. Passing through the entry doors, one is faced with a diagonal wall. The orientation of the wall subtly guides one to the living room. Entry sequence. HSPB J U 6APRIL2017 17 0 . Palm Springs' midcentury residential architecture favors lower, ranch -style designs. This makes the rather imposing vertical massing of the Haymond Residence somewhat unusual. Aside from the AGUs, the house is largely unadorned. Like many superior examples of the modernist ethos, the Haymond Residence deftly blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors. This is achieved most notably on the west side of the residence where one passes easily from the living room, to the loggia (covered porch), to the pool area. Helping this sequence along, the terrazzo floor flows effortlessly from the indoors This image shows numerous features on the west side of the residence, including the shade created by the deep loggia, structural supports adorned with AGUs, and the sawtooth edge of the original terrazzo. The pool is called out as a "contributing structure" in this nomination. '9 HSPB 6APRIL2017 18 to outdoors and ends in a clever transitional sawtooth design that abuts the pool area. Five of the loggia's structural supports (which consist of pairs of 2"x2" steel "tube columns") are adorned with AGUs. This carries the strong design aesthetic of the AGUs to the back of the residence. The atypically -shaped pool creates visual interest and is skillfully sited to compliment the undulating geometry of the residence. In summary, the Haymond Residence exhibits many features which place it solidly within the modernist canon including lack of unnecessary adornment, a multi -level flat roof, inexpensive mass-produced materials (like cast aluminum grille units), man-made materials suitable to the harsh desert environment (like aluminum, steel, glass and concrete), AGUs, a loggia to moderate the sun's heat, and an architectural design that strives to blur the line between the indoors and outdoors. Photographs of selected architectural details can be found in Appendix VII. Changes and Additions to the Haymond Residence Fortunately, a full set of original Frey & Chambers blueprints are available to compare with the present-day configuration of the Haymond Residence. The following additions and modifications have been made to the residence: - Spa and waterfall installed in 1999 and modified in 2016 (8'x7' spa) - Stand-alone grill structure installed in rear of residence in 2016 (14'x3%'x3') - Stand-alone fountain installed in front of residence in 2016 (15'x6'x1') - Bathroom modification, outdoor shower, and low wall in 2016 (15%'x14') These changes and additions are either reversible or are stand-alone and do not directly impact the historic or architectural significance of the residence. Local Architectural Context The Haymond Residence should not be viewed as part of Palm Springs' modernist tract - house building boom which started in earnest with the arrival of George and Robert Alexander in 1955. Rather, the private residence should be evaluated as part of the trend of unique and custom modernist residences built and/or commissioned by affluent businessmen, Hollywood glitterati, etc. Site Description Location. The Haymond Residence is located on a prominent corner lot in the Las Palmas Estates tract. The residence is bounded on the north by a residential parcel, by North Camino Centro to the east, by North Via Las Palmas to the south, and by a residential parcel to the west. The topography of the lot is relatively flat. The site includes mature palm trees, olive trees, ficus hedges, etc. A legal description of the property is provided at Appendix III.

BACKGROUND / HISTORIC CONTEXT The relatively short history of Palm Springs can be organized into three distinct periods that include Prehistory, the Settlement Period, and the Modern Period. It is within the context of the last period that this building will be evaluated. Modern Period (1925-1960s): This period can be considered to have begun with the construction of the area's first "modern" structure, Rudolph Schindler's Paul and Betty Popenoe Cabin in 1922. With this building the area's predominant architectural style, which was based on well -established Mexican and Spanish Colonial motifs, began to change. Incorporation of the town of Palm Springs followed in 1938. During the post - WWII era, Palm Springs' economy prospered through tourism. Hollywood celebrities discovered the desert oasis and patronized its hotels, inns, nightclubs and restaurants; celebrity -seeking tourists soon followed, transforming Palm Springs from a sleepy village into an increasingly cosmopolitan environment that saw the construction of schools, HSPB 6APRIL2017 21 40 0 • hospitals, an airport and other important public works projects. The commercial core along Palm Canyon Drive (originally Main Street) flourished. In the 1950s the downtown core was expanded by the construction of the cross -axis of Tahquitz-McCallum Way that extended from the center of the original settlement to the airport, spurring new development along the way. Early private residential development also expanded into new sub -divisions composed of midcentury modern second homes in the flat lands surrounding the town's original core. Palm Springs' Hollywood associations certainly imparted an air of sophistication to the city. By 1964, the city had built a reputation for cutting edge architecture with architectural practitioners like John Porter Clark, Albert Frey, E. Stewart Williams, William F. Cody and Donald Wexler. EVALUATION: Criterion 1: Significant Event. To qualify for listing under this criterion, a property must be associated with one or more events important in the defined historic context. Criterion 1 recognizes properties associated with events or patterns of events or historic trends, such as the gradual rise of the city's prominence in architectural excellence in midcentury modern architecture that is an important pattern of events within this associated context. The Haymond Residence is an outstanding example of residential design and construction of buildings within the context of midcentury desert Modernism. The Haymond Residence is associated with this pattern of events for its ability to exemplify the modem period of the national, state and local history. The residence qualities for listinq as a Class 1 Historic Site on the local registry under Criterion 1. Criterion 2: Significant Persons. Criterion 2 recognizes properties associated with the lives of persons who made meaningful contributions to the national, state or local history. While certainly prominent individuals, Carl and Margaret Haymond arguably do not rise to the level of locally "important" persons (e.g., compared to a Frank Bogert or Ruth Hardy). Hence, the residence does not qualify for listinq as a Class 1 Historic Site on the local registry under Criterion 2. ARCHITECTURE (Criteria 3 — 6) Criterion 3: (That reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history). The Haymond Residence, built in 1964, exhibits many stylistic markers which place it directly in the historic context of Palm Springs' Modern Period. The private residence represents a prime and largely intact example of the significant modernist architecture for which Palm Springs is widely known. As such, the residence may be viewed as an important component of the historic trends that have come to define Palm Springs' image as a center of important midcentury architecture, i.e., an historic trend that exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history. The residence qualifies for listinq as a Class 1 Historic Site on the local registry under Criterion 3. Criterion 4: (That embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; or) Type, Period, and Method of Construction: "Type, period, or method of construction" refers to the way certain properties are related to one another by cultural tradition or function, by dates of construction or style, or by choice or availability of materials and technology. To be eligible under this Criterion, a property must clearly HSPB 4 6APRIL2017 22 illustrate, through "distinctive characteristics" a pattern of features common to a particular class of resources. "Distinctive characteristics" are the physical features or traits that commonly recur in individual types, periods, or methods of construction. To be eligible, a property must clearly contain enough of those characteristics to be considered a true representative of a particular type, period, or method of construction. Characteristics can be expressed in terms such as form, proportion, structure, plan, style, or materials. The Haymond Residence is eligible under the theme of Modern architecture because it possesses distinctive characteristics that make up the many qualities of the style, such as lack of unnecessary adornment, a multi -level flat roof, inexpensive mass-produced materials like aluminum grille units, man-made materials suitable to the harsh desert environment (aluminum, steel, glass and concrete) and an architectural design that strives to blur the line between the indoors and outdoors. As such, the residence is eligible under this criterion because it represents an important example of building practices in Palm Springs at midcentury. The residence aualifes for listina as a Class 1 Historic Site on the local reaistry under Criterion 4. Criterion 5: (That (a): represents the work of a masterbuilder, designer, artist, orarchitect whose individual genius influenced his age; or (b): that possesses high artistic value). 5a: Work of a Master: In the case of the Haymond Residence, both the work of Albert Frey and Robson Chambers (as Frey & Chambers) can certainly be described as the "work of a master" in view of their individual and joint histories of architectural excellence. See appendices IV and V. 5b: Properties possessing high artistic values: High artistic values may be expressed in many ways, including areas as diverse as community design or planning, engineering, and sculpture. As an example of the maturing modemist movement, the residence certainly articulates the best of residential "lifestyle" modernism to a level of excellence and confidence that, in total, could easily be considered an aesthetic ideal. For its hiah artistic values, the residence qualifies for listina as a Class 1 Historic Site on the local reaistry under Criterion 5. Criterion 6: (That represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction). This Criterion was created to address the resources contained within a potential historic district and as such it does not apply to this nomination. Hence. the residence does not aualifv under Criterion 6. ARCHEOLOGY Criterion 7: (That has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to the national, state or local history or prehistory.) The Haymond Residence is not likely to yield information important to the national, state or local history or prehistory. Hence, the residence does not aualifv under Criterion 7. PB 4 2 6APRIL2017 23 0 0 7. Integrity Analysis (using U.S. Secretary of Interior Standards) INTEGRITY Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. To be listed in the local registry, a property must not only be shown to be significant under the criteria, but it also must have integrity. The evaluation of integrity is sometimes a subjective judgment, but it must always be grounded in an understanding of a property's physical features and how they relate to its significance. Historic properties either retain integrity (that is, convey their significance) or they do not. The definition of integrity includes seven aspects or qualities. To retain historic integrity a property will always possess several, and usually most, of the aspects. The retention of specific aspects of integrity is paramount for a property to convey its significance. Determining which of these aspects are most impor- tant to a particular property requires knowing why, where, and when the property is significant. The following sections define the seven aspects and explain how they combine to produce integrity. LOCATION Location is the place where an historic property was constructed or the place where an historic event occurred. The relationship between the property and its location is often important to understanding why the property was created or why something happened. The actual location of a historic property, complemented by its setting, is particularly important in recapturing the sense of historic events and persons. Except in rare cases, the relationship between a property and its historic associations is destroyed if the property is moved. The Haymond Residence remains in its original location and therefore qualifies under this aspect. DESIGN Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. It results from conscious decisions made during the original conception and planning of a property and applies to activities as diverse as community planning, engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture. Design includes such elements as organization of space, proportion, scale, technology, ornamentation, and materials. A property's design reflects historic functions and technologies as well as aesthetics. It includes such considerations as the structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; pattern of fenestration; textures and colors of surface materials; type, amount, and style of ornamental detailing. The Haymond Residence's essential characteristics of form, plan, space, structure, and style have survived largely intact. Similarly, the structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; pattern of fenestration; and the type, amount, and style of detailing have survived largely intact. The extravagant and clever use of AGUs throughout the residence creates a unifying design theme much like the aesthetic created by the more common concrete screen block of the era. HSPB 43 BAPRIL2017 24 0 0 SETTING Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. Whereas location refers to the specific place where a property was built or an event occurred, setting refers to the character of the place in which the property played its historical role. It involves how, not just where, the property is situated and its relationship to surrounding features and open space. Setting often reflects the basic physical conditions under which a property was built and the functions it was intended to serve. In addition, the way in which a property is positioned in its environment can reflect the designer's concept of nature and aesthetic preferences. The setting of the Haymond Residence continues to reflect the architects' original design relationship of site and structure. MATERIALS Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. The choice and combination of materials reveals the preferences of those who created the property and indicate the availability of particular types of materials and technologies. While some of the Haymond Residence's exterior surface materials may have been painted, this change does not constitute a significant loss of the physical elements that expressed the design during the building's period of significance; the pattern and configuration that today forms the residence and contributing structures survives intact. WORKMANSHIP Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. It is the evidence of artisans' labor and skill in constructing or altering a building, structure, object, or site. Workmanship can apply to the property as a whole or to its individual components. It can be expressed in vernacular methods of construction and plain finishes or in highly sophisticated configurations and ornamental detailing. It can be based on common traditions or innovative period techniques. Workmanship is important because it can furnish evidence of the technology of a craft, illustrate the aesthetic principles of a historic or prehistoric period, and reveal individual, local, regional, or national applications of both technological practices and aesthetic principles. Examples of workmanship in historic buildings include tooling, carving, painting, graining, turning, and joinery. The workmanship of the Haymond Residence is comprised of integral ornamental detailing reflected in aluminum, steel, glass, and concrete. The residence continues to express a high degree of contemporary period workmanship. FEELING Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. It results from the presence of physical features that, taken together, convey the property's historic character. For example, a rural historic district retaining original design, materials, workmanship, and setting will relate the feeling of agricultural life in the 19th century. The Haymond Residence is sited on a prominent lot which takes advantage HSPB 44 6APRIL2017 25 • of panoramic mountain views to the west. Accordingly, the residence and contributing structures retain their original integrity of feeling. ASSOCIATION Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. A property retains association if it is the place where the event or activity occurred and is sufficiently intact to convey that relationship to an observer. Like feeling, association requires the presence of physical features that convey a property's historic character. For example, a Revolutionary War battlefield whose natural and man-made elements have remained intact since the 18th century will retain its quality of association with the battle. Because feeling and association depend on individual perceptions, their retention alone is never sufficient to support eligibility of a property for the National Register. The Haymond Residence is an important example of a custom -designed modernist private residence in Palm Springs. Accordingly, it continues its association with a pattern of events that have made a meaningful contribution to the community. INTEGRITY SUMMARY: The Haymond Residence appears to be in excellent condition partially due to the use of construction materials suitable for the harsh desert environment. This integrity analysis confirms that the building and site of the Haymond Residence still aossess all seven aspects of integrity. Aside from some minor and reversible additions (i.e., spa, grill and fountain) and a sympathetically -designed modification of the south bathroom in 2016 (intended to create outdoor access), the original footprint of the Haymond Residence remains intact. Further, the 2016 bathroom modification adds an outdoor wall which cleverly incorporates vintage (and now rare) aluminum grille units identical to those extant throughout the residence. In summary, the residence still possesses a high degree of integrity sufficient to qualify for designation as a Class 1 Historic Site. 8.

HSPB 6APRII 2017 32 51 0 9 Appendix IV: Architect Albert Frey Biography (The following obituary, written by architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff, appeared in the Los Angeles Times newspaper on November 17, 1998) Albert Frey, Modernist Architect, Dies Design: His series of landmark buildings helped define Palm Springs as a hotbed of experimental work. He was 95. Albert Frey, the Swiss -born architect who became one of the leading California Modernists of his generation and recently enjoyed a revival of sorts with the sudden popularity of mid-century Modernist work, died Saturday night at his home in Palm Springs. He was 95. During the 1940s, '50s and '60s, Frey designed a series of Modernist landmarks that eventually came to define Palm Springs as a hotbed of architectural experimentation. Among them were a house for industrial designer Raymond Loewy, the Palm Springs City Hall and the Tramway gas station. The houses, in particular, were remarkable for their sleek, almost surrealistically futuristic forms and their experimental use of materials. But Frey, generally underappreciated at the height of his career, only recently achieved international recognition, when modern design became fashionable again. In recent years, images of Frey and his houses became fixtures in fashion and design magazines. Last year, several of his buildings were designated city landmarks in Palm Springs after his design for a gas station was temporarily threatened with demolition. Frey was born in Zurich, Switzerland, on Oct. 18, 1903. He was 25 when he began working in the Paris office of Le Corbusier, who would soon emerge as one of the great architects of the century. Le Corbusier was then at work on the seminal works of his early career. Frey spent 10 months working for Le Corbusier as one of only two paid design assistants, yet he contributed to two Modernist landmarks: the design for the Centrosoyuz building in Moscow, which was never built, and the Villa Savoye (1929-31) in Poissy, France, which, along with Frank Lloyd Wright's 1936 Fallingwater, ranks among the most famous 20th century buildings in the world. HSPB 6APRIL2017 33 r (' �r "That was one of the things that separates him from others of his generation, his association with Le Corbusier," said Joseph Rosa, the author of a 1990 monograph of Frey's work. "He was the first disciple of Le Corbusier to build in the United States." Frey moved to the United States in late 1930. It was a time when America was seen as the home of all that was modern, from jazz to skyscrapers to industrial and technological invention. Frey joined with A. Lawrence Kocher, a central figure on the New York cultural scene, and began what was to become an extraordinarily inventive and long-lived career. Together, the two designed the Aluminaire House, an experimental prototype for a modern house that incorporated an ingenious use of industrial materials and Corbusien notions about mass production and the open plan. (In 1987, the house was moved to the New York Institute of Technology's Islip, New York, campus from its original site in Huntington, N.Y., where it is now under renovation.) Later, Frey worked briefly on Philip L. Goodwin and Edward Durrell Stone's design for New York's Museum of Modern Art and was largely responsible for the building's auditorium. But Frey never felt completely at ease in the congested, bustling metropolis, and in 1936 he moved to Palm Springs, the city with which he would be most identified. There, he produced a body of work that melded the Modernist obsession with the machine and mass production techniques with a deep sensitivity to natural surroundings. In his design for Raymond Loewy, completed in 1947, Frey created an L-shaped house overlooking a rough desert landscape, with an ameoba-shaped swimming pool that flowed into the living room. Later projects were perhaps more Expressionist, even flamboyant, among them the Northshore Yacht Club in Salton Sea (1958-59), whose stylized facade includes protruding, porthole -like windows. Among Frey's greatest creations was a house that he designed for himself at a mountainside site overlooking Palm Springs, completed in 1964. The house is tiny-- 1,200 square feet --yet it encapsulates all of Frey's ideas about nature and the man- made, about the poetic beauty of living a life intimately connected to the human scale. The house was designed as a narrow glass box and is set lengthwise along the side of the mountain. Frey used the tough industrial materials that marked much of his work -- steel frame, glass walls, corrugated metal roof. But the refined, Cartesian -inspired order of the house is intentionally distorted by the rugged mountain landscape. Inside, the house's floor is divided into two levels to reflect the mountain's steep slope, and a boulder seemingly crashes through the living room, cunningly separating living space from the lone bedroom. It is that tension --between the order of man and the order of nature —that came to define Frey's best work. The house established Frey's reputation as a leading figure of the Modernist avant- garde. Yet its immediate ambitions were more humble. This was still the postwar building boom, the architectural photographer Julius Shulman noted. "Young married couples could afford to build small houses," Shulman said, "And this little house had a million ideas. He had designed space for everything, the compact kitchen, the bathroom was oriented towards the morning light —everything he did was meticulously oriented towards design. It was the efficiency of the Swiss mind." HSPB 53 6APRIL2017 34 0 In many ways, the image of Frey became entwined with the image of that house. High above the city, Frey, a vegetarian and nature lover who said that the clean mountain landscape reminded him of his native Switzerland, would regularly do his yoga exercises or wander outside to feed quail, squirrels and lizards. "He was gentle," Shulman said. "He did not want to produce big, glamorous images of his work like [his contemporary Richard] Neutra, for example. He was a quiet, nonaggressive person. That's maybe why people didn't know his work until later years." By the mid-'80s, Frey was semiretired, although he continued to consult on local architectural projects, including some design work for the Smoketree Ranch ... a ranch - style residential community in Palm Springs. Nearly a decade passed before Palm Springs was rediscovered. Suddenly, it was touted as the West Coast's answer to Miami's Art Deco tradition. Worshipful students and curious reporters began to make the pilgrimage to Frey's mountainside house for interviews. His house was repeatedly used for fashion shoots. Frey is survived by a sister, Emma, and his longtime companion, Jean Farrar. HSPB J 4 6APRIL2017 35 Appendix V: Architect Robson Chambers Biography Architect Robson Chambers (Courtesy Robson Chambers Collection, Architecture & Design Collection, University Art Museum, University of California Santa Barbara) Robson Cole Chambers was born in Los Angeles, and raised in Banning. He earned his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Southern California School of Architecture, and was awarded the AIA Medal when he graduated in 1941. During WWII, Chambers was in the U.S. Marine Corps and helped design Camp Pendleton in Oceanside. From 1941 to 1946, Chambers worked as a draftsman for Hunt & Chambers in Pasadena. In 1946, he began working for John Porter Clark & Albert Frey at their Palm Springs office. Frey and Chambers designed a residence for Chambers and his wife in 1947, and collaborated on its expansion in 1954. In 1953, Chambers became a partner in the firm, at which time the firm became Clark, Frey and Chambers. Around that time, the firm took on its largest project, the Palm Springs City Hall (1952-1957). The project was done in collaboration with Williams, Williams & Williams. In 1956, Clark left Clark, Frey & Chambers to focus on non-residential work. Frey & Chambers completed projects such as a second residence for Raymond Cree in Cathedral City, and Frey House II. Other noteworthy projects from this period include the Carey Residence, the North Shore Yacht Club (1958), St. Michael's -by- the -Sea Church Building in Carlsbad (1959), the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station (1963) and the Tramway Gas Station (1965). Chambers left Palm Springs in 1966 to work as campus architect for UC Santa Barbara, where he stayed until 1980. He then retired to Borrego Springs, where he kept a small private practice until 1995, designing many local residences and the St. Barnabas Episcopal Church (1986). He returned to Santa Barbara in 1998, where he passed away in 1999.

However, these AGUs are likely associated with wall permits issued in the 1960s. The aluminum grille units designed by John deKoven Hill were used extensively in the "1960 Pace Setter" house and were featured in the February 1960 issue of House Beautiful magazine. Painted turquoise, they can be seen shading the clerestory windows in this cover image by famous architectural photographer Ezra Stoller.

Created to give new flexible dimensions in spacing and pattern arrangement, DESIGN UNITS incorporate the most dramatic features of the clas- sics, the renaissance, the modem, and the contem- porary ... establishing a freedom of motion in design. Practical as well as functional, DESIGN UNITS by TFC are cast from durable, lifetime, light -weight aluminum, chosen because of easy adaption to decorative and structural uses, and created expressly to accentuate gracious indoor - outdoor living and enhance the interiors and ex- teriors of better -designed buildings. TFC DESIGN UNITS are cast in a wide selection of patterns and in two standard sizes-18[' a 181, and 12" x 12". They are pre -drilled for easy instal- lation without welding. —DESIGN UNIT USES- • GrilleWALLS • COLUMNS • GrilleDOORS • ROOM DIVIDERS • GrillePANELS • SUN -CONTROL SCREENS • GrilleGATES • And a wealth of other • GrilleRAILS applications limited only by imagination DESIGN UNITS are quickly available from Distributors and TFC Ornamental Metal Fabricators throughout the United States.
