Most influential in the realm of public and cultural life, Williams’ (1909-2005) legacy can be seen all over town. He’s the architect behind the Palm Springs Art Museum (1976) and the Santa Fe Federal Savings & Loan building (1960) and the Aerial Tramway Station (1963) – a refuge for hikers and wildlife lovers, 2,600m above the town in the San Jacinto Mountains

The architects who built Palm Springs: Hugh Kaptur
Inspired by midcentury aesthetics and philosophy, some of Kaptur’s (b. 1931) most famous commissions include homes for actors Steve McQueen (1964) and William Holden (1956). While Kaptur played with local vernacular and Spanish heritage, he always merged his influences with the International Style’s teachings.
