Loved learning about the history of the Spanish style villa our family lived in from 1966 - 1968. The home and adjoining Desert Inn property were owned by my father's employer, Home Savings and Loan. Dad was in charge of the demolition of the Desert Inn site and the building of the then new Palm Springs Fashion Plaza.
