ALBERT FREY HOUSE II
We are now showing the Albert Frey House II ("Frey House") (1964) on select tours. This is one of the most iconic and spectacular residences in Palm Springs. Its innovative nature virtually transcends the realm of architecture placing this home closer to the realm of art. It is a unique home situated on an elevated site with stunning views of the valley below. Please let us know if you would like us to inquire about the availability of the Frey House for your tour.

As the official tour of the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center, we are given special consideration to view the house, however, please note that it is not always available. Tours of the Frey House are not available on weekends or during Modernism Week.
William Cody Residence
This was the home of the great Palm Springs architect, William Cody. The house is wildly interesting as the flow between indoors and outdoors is seamless. Also, the views from the huge windows in the house showcase various views from one space to another, as opposed to a unified view of the backyard, which creates a series of vignettes when viewed from various places in the house.
Frederick Loewe Estate
It is an honor to be showing legendary Broadway composer Frederick Loewe's amazing estate. The house sits on 2-1/2 acres of gloriously landscaped gardens on an elevated site with wonderful views of the valley below. Visits to the Frederick Loewe Estate incur an additional fee of $25. Visits to the Frederick Loewe Estate are subject to very limited availability. It is AMAZING.
