A great double-value! House tour plus book! Join us for a tour and a book-signing of PSPF’s scholarly and beautifully illustrated 312-page hardcover award-winning book, Canyon Country Club: History and Design of Palm Springs’ Garden of Eden. The book signing is paired with a tour of the stunning custom midcentury Berman-Rubin Residence (1964, Kenneth M. Burgess), the home that graces the cover of the book. Thanks to its prominent corner location and strikingly modern design, it is one of the most recognizable homes in the Indian Canyons neighborhood. Originally built as the retirement home of Air Force Lt. General Clarence S. Irvine, the home is one of Burgess’s more notable designs. Burgess was also responsible for designing the legendary Canyon Hotel, one of the most glamorous resorts in Palm Springs during the 1960s and 70s. A copy of the book (a $50 retail value) is included with each ticket purchase.

To learn more about the history and design of Canyon Country Club, consider attending author Steve Treinen’s presentation on the topic during PSPF’s Free Lecture Series on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
