Mr. & Mrs. Carl E. Haymond Residence Class 1 Historic Site 1415 North Camino Centro, Palm Springs, CA 92262
The Mr. & Mrs. Carl E. Haymond Residence was constructed in 1964 and designed by the architectural firm of Frey & Chambers. Carl Haymond was a prominent TV and radio station owner in the Pacific northwest, who fell in love with Palm Springs and eventually built his dream home in the Las Palmas Estates tract. The home’s most notable architectural feature is the use of cast aluminum grille units to screen out the desert sun. Designed by architect John deKoven Hill, over 170 of these decorative, but functional, grille units are used throughout the residence.
