Below are photos of some of the amazing Mid-Century Modern homes that have been preserved in Palm Springs, California. Any trip to the city should include a driving tour to see some of the architectural wonders found throughout the city. Maps are available for sale at the city’s visitor’s center located in a striking mid-century gas station (see below).
