George B. Roberson House


If you walk all the way down Tahquitz toward the mountain downtown, you'll reach one of the best restaurants in town, Le Vallauris.

The restaurant itself is located in a home that used to belong to George B. Roberson. He had lived in the home for 50 years.

The home (which is now La Vallauris) was built in 1927. Roberson and his mother, Nellie Coffman managed the Desert Inn, one of Palm Springs' first hotels, located across the street where the Palm Springs Art Museum and Fashion Plaza are.

When Roberson lived in the house, a Spanish/Mediterranean revival building, it had three bedrooms.

A new facade has been added to the original building.
