The house at 1011 West Cielo Drive adds another name to the story of Palm Springs modernism: Walter S. White. Designed by White and built in 1956, the Dr. Franz Alexander House is identified in its National Register history as a Modern-style building. White’s professional work extended beyond architecture to industrial design, invention, and construction. The house joined the National Register in 2016. It is a reminder that the city’s modern architectural landscape includes designers beyond the familiar names most often attached to desert house tours.
