Each ticket to this event will include a copy of Canyon Country Club: History and Design of Palm Springs’ Garden of Eden (a $50 retail value). Join us for a book signing of this award-winning and beautifully illustrated 312-page hardcover book authored by PSPF board member Steve Treinen. The book examines the architecture and development of South Palm Springs’ Indian Canyons neighborhood with featured inclusion of the North Clubhouse, celebrity connections, and photography of 50 neighborhood homes.

The book signing will be held at the Berman-Rubin Residence (1964, Kenneth M. Burgess), the home that graces the cover of the book. 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 1970s. Although portions of the home will be open during the book signing, this is not a home tour.

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