This RE/MAX Real Estate building was built in 1966 for E.F. Hutton. The facade was covered up with a new design by Gil Garcia in 1977 for Santa Barbara Savings & Loan. When the bank moved out in 1991, RE/MAX Real Estate moved into the building. By 2016, the building was housing H3K Design. For more, see this website. [map]

City National Bank
Palm Springs, CA
The City National Bank, now Bank of America, was built in 1959. It was designed by Rudy Baumfeld of Victor Gruen & Associates. The design was inspired by the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut which was built in 1954. This bank's original sunscreens and fountain have been removed. I assume the drive-through structure in the parking lot (bottom photo) was built later in the style of the bank building. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
