Love & Architecture

Curbed posts today on old hollywood romances, and the houses they happened in. Our favorite, naturally, is the mod: the Twin Palms estate in Palm Springs whose original owner was Frank Sinatra. One of the midcentury Palm Springs landmarks that's managed to escape demolition, the house was built in 1947 and designed by E. Stewart Williams.

Twin Palms has recently received a key protective historic designation and remains the site of frequent photo shoots, so we can catch a glimpse of what it looks like today (at least a tiny little bit, behind all the models wearing expensive clothes).
