Yesterday was such a full day at the California Preservation Foundation Conference that it will take several days to digest and share on this blog. Friday morning, the plenary session was held at the Palm Springs Art Museum. This building was built the same year I was born by E. Stewart Williams. As I am a Paul Rudolph fan it is no wonder that I liked this building. But while photographing the exterior I couldn't help but wonder what type of maintenance issues this building will command in the near future. One obvious problem is that the stone work is only barely embedded in a backer of grout and already I noticed some stones were loose or missing. One day someone will have to think about how to reattached all those stones!
