Coachella Valley Bank

Architect: E. Stewart Williams (1961)

Palm Springs, CA

 

One of Palm Springs' most prominent architect, he was commissioned by Frank Sinatra to build his first home here, and designed many subsequent buildings in the area.

 

The design for this bank was heavily influenced (well, blatantly ripped off, really) from Oscar Niemeyer's designs for the Palácio da Alvorada, the official residence for the President of Brasil in Brasilia.
