That roof looks like a skate boarders dream....
What a great thread!
I have always loved these type of homes! Great pictures!
I grew up in a Victorian Home in New Orleans, but that was not good enough for me when I was a kid! I loved to go to the subdivisions that were built in the 50's and 60's. I just thought they were the best and most modern! Of course someway or another I would work my way into these homes and would explore. The owners never really seemed to mind and thought it was kind of cute. Go figure. I remember many of them having these amazing kitchens. I think the same builder built these homes because most of them had sunken in appliances that would pop up out of the counter! Can Openers, Blender bottoms, etc. Being in my youth I thought this was way too cool!
Anyway.....years later my partner and I are living in a home that was built in 1965. I guess you can consider it kind of mid century. It is a fun house with very large rooms.
Here are a few pictures.

This is a picture from the street. This was taken in the fall when we placed our bid on the home close to 4 years ago! (man time flies)
I love everything about the house, but when fall comes it is murder! We have over 42 Oak trees and 20 pines. Slowly taking out the pines! Oh...and not to mention the streak of bad storms that can pop up any minute. Scary! Thank God we have not had any damage.

This is the Palm Springs Visitor Center. It was orginally a gas station. The road on the left ends at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway...fun stuff.

hydralique...Sorry, I didn't realize you already posted the PS Visitor Center pic.
bygted...What a spectacular house you have! The pond integrated into the deck is really beautiful and looks like it belongs on the cover of Sunset Magazine (popular here in the West.)
