Join the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation for a special dedication on the Palm Springs Walk of the Stars for architectural designer Herbert W. Burns. Attending will be notable presenters and surprise guests.

Burns had a distinctive "Late Moderne" architectural style and created Modernist buildings with a true sense of place. His buildings were appropriate to the desert surroundings, and perfect for the indoor–outdoor lifestyle people wanted to lead in Palm Springs. Despite having no formal training, Burns received international press and recognition from the beginning of his career in 1947 with his very first project in Palm Springs, the Town & Desert Apartment Hotel (now “The Hideaway”). Burns' work has stood the test of time and many of his buildings have been designated Class 1 Historic Resources by the city of Palm Springs.

To learn more about the work of architectural designer Herbert Burns, consider attending Keylon’s presentation on the topic during PSPF’s Free Lecture Series on Friday, October 17, 2025.
