Save Washington Mutual Bank Building



One of Palm Springs' charms is the mid-century modern architecture. The building above was eleventh on the list of 20 Top Desert Modernist Buildings in Palm Springs (the website is  no longer there). The building, designed in 1961 by architect Stuart Williams, is located on the south end of what locals call "the Village," which is just another name for the downtown.

Modernists and preservationists in town wrangle to save this as well as other building from demolition by developers and large corporations.
