Activity: Tour of the Architecture & Design Center and Frey House II | MW26
Discover the Architecture and Design Center, Edwards Harris Pavilion, a premier destination for modernist architecture enthusiasts in downtown Palm Springs. Housed in a beautifully preserved historic structure, it is the first building in the U.S. to be transformed into a free-standing architecture and design museum within a modernist building. Then, head to Frey House II, designed by Albert Frey. Completed in 1964, this home was his long-time residence and perched on the hillside at the west end of Tahquitz Canyon Way. At the time it was built, it was at the highest elevation of any residence in the city. Frey took five years to select the site and a year to measure the movement of the sun using a 10-foot pole. Tours are approximately 45-minutes each. Limited to 10 people. Time: 3:00-5:30pm (Tour: 3:30-5:30). Cost $150 per person (includes shuttle).
