A well known singer and songwriter, best known for such recordings as "I Write the Songs", "Mandy", "Weekend in New England" and "Copacabana".

He has been nominated for a Grammy Award as a producer, arranger and performer a total of fifteen times, but only ever took home one award himself. He has also produced Grammy-nominated albums for Bette Midler, Dionne Warwick, Nancy Wilson and Sarah Vaughan. His work influence is widespread, though critics still are shy to embrace the singer.
Often singing about matters of the heart, Manilow married his high school sweetheart, Susan Deixler, in 1964. Though the marriage was annulled so Manilow could pursue his musical dreams, he affectionately referred to her as the perfect wife. He married again to Garry Kief in 2014 after same sex marriage was legalized. Keeping the secret for three years before officially coming out in 2017, Manilow decided to downplay his sexuality as he feared it would hurt his female fans too deeply. He denied claims that his sexuality had anything to do with the ending of his first marriage.
This stunning home is a sprawling 8-bed, 5.5-bath, 9,798 sq ft estate in Palm Spring, California. Perfect for the singer in their twilight years, this sunny California home is just a stone's throw from the ocean.
Barry Manilow has sold over 80 million records internationally and has received three Grammy Awards, a Tony Award, and two Emmy Awards among other accolades. As a solo artist he is one of the world's best-selling artists. Over his hugely successful career he’s earned $100 Million in net worth.

Hope Residence By John Lautner

The Hope Residence is a house at 2466 Southridge Drive in Palm Springs, California. It is 23,600 sq ft (2,190 m2) in size. The house was built for comedian Bob Hope and his wife Dolores. The house was completed in 1979. The house is noted for its large undulating triangular roof, with a large central light shaft. The house is located in a gated community in Palm Springs. It is located above Palm Springs, with panoramic views of the Coachella Valley and the San Jacinto Mountains.
The grounds of the house contain a tennis court, putting greens, and a swimming pool. An outdoor fireplace in a large conical chimney is in the large exterior terrace of the house. The original roof design was a steel frame covered in wood.The design of the house has been likened to a mushroom, a volcano, and a spaceship.
The Hopes hired architect John Lautner for the project due to their admiration for his Elrod House nearby on Southridge Drive. When Bob Hope saw Lautner's model for the house in 1969 he quipped that "Well, at least when they come down from Mars they'll know where to go".
The house was destroyed by a fire from a welder's torch in its initial phase of construction in 1973, the cost of the damage was estimated at $500,000. Construction began four years later after legal issues regarding insurance and financial responsibility for the fire incident were settled.
Arthur Elrod, the chief interior designer for the house, died during the first phase of construction. When work began again in 1977 the original building plans as filed with the council were still valid. Dolores Hope became increasingly involved in the design of the house following its rebuild which caused Lautner to distance himself from the project. The Hopes hired a "Beverly Hills society decorator" to design the interior of the house which dismayed Lautner who had originally envisaged a modernist interior that made use of the natural light in the house's desert location. Dolores Hope had been inspired by Sunnylands, the nearby house of Walter and Leonore Annenberg, with its pink roof.
In February 2013, following Dolores’ death that year and that of Bob Hope in 2003, the property was put on the market for $50 million; the price was dropped to $25 million in 2014 and finally sold for $13 million in 2016 to billionaire Ron Burkle. Burkle owned the nearby Elrod House, also designed by Lautner, from 1995 to 2003.
The former site architect of the Hope House, Helena Arghuete, managed the remodelling of the house following its 2016 sale. The modernist interior of the house as envisioned by Lautner was created by stripping the interiors and replacing the décor with natural materials. Arghuete was assisted by Lorenzo Jauregui, whose mother was the Hope's maid for 34 years. The father and son woodworkers Brian Cooney Sr. and Brian Cooney Jr. constructed 12 new doors at the house to Lautner's design and installed African mahogany on the house's interior walls.

Frank Sinatra's Twin Plams Estate (Former)

Twin Palms, also known as the Frank Sinatra House, at 1148 East Alejo Rd is a mid-century modern house in the Movie Colony–El Mirador neighborhood of Palm Springs, California. The house was designed by E. Stewart Williams, to a commission from the American singer and actor Frank Sinatra. The house was Williams's first residential commission.
Sinatra started coming to Palm Springs in the late 1940s. He had been told about it by his close friend, the composer Jimmy Van Heusen, who had stopped for fuel there while flying to Los Angeles. Van Heusen told Sinatra of the beauty of the desert later that day, and Sinatra insisted that they fly there that evening. Fellow acquaintances of Sinatra's who had also started frequenting Palm Springs in the 1940s included Lana Turner and Dinah Shore, and the actress Ava Gardner who was to become his second wife. On 1 May 1947 Sinatra walked into the offices of E. Stewart Williams, wearing a white sailor cap and eating an ice cream cone, and requested that the firm build him a Georgian style house as a weekend residence; he had recently signed a film contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and had made his first $1 million. Feeling that the Georgian style was unsuitable for the extremes of the desert environment, Williams showed Sinatra two architectural drawings, one of the Georgian design, and the other of a single-story modern house. Sinatra chose the modern design, and the house was to be Williams's first residential commission. Williams's brother and architectural partner, Roger, later said that he was "so glad" that Sinatra chose the modern design, believing that "We'd have been ruined if we'd been forced to build Georgian in the desert". Sinatra demanded that the house be completed in time for a Christmas party he intended to host.
The house was eventually finished shortly before the new year at a cost of $150,000. Sinatra lived in the house from its completion in 1947 to 1954, and sold it in 1957. Before selling it, Sinatra rented the house to Moss Hart so that he and Judy Garland could re-write A Star is Born. Twin Palms was subsequently photographed by Julius Shulman.
The house was later occupied by a Texas couple for 43 years who let it become dilapidated, until its 1997 sale for $135,000. It was subsequently sold or $1,345,000 in 2000 and later for $2.9 million in 2005. Twin Palms was offered for sale in 2010 for $3.25 million.
Nowdays the estate functions as a short term rental and a wedding venue.

Kaufmann House By Richard Neutra
pmoore66 (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: pmoore66.
Kaufmann House, is a house in Palm Springs, California that was designed by architect Richard Neutra in 1946. It was commissioned by Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., a businessman who also commissioned Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The house has been described as "an architectural marvel that helped define the modernist aesthetic of the resort city of Palm Springs".It is designated a Class 1 Historic Site by Palm Springs City Council.
The house was commissioned by Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., the owner of Kaufmann's Department Store in Pittsburgh, as a desert retreat from harsh winters. It was made famous by photographs taken by Julius Shulman in 1947 and the 1970 photograph "Poolside Gossip" by Slim Aarons. In 1935, Kaufmann had commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design Fallingwater in Pennsylvania.
After Kaufmann died in 1955, the house stood vacant for several years. It then had a series of owners, including singer Barry Manilow and San Diego Chargers owner Eugene V. Klein, and had several renovations. These renovations enclosed a patio, added floral wallpaper to the bedrooms and removed a wall for the addition of a media room. The roof lines were also altered with the addition of air-conditioning units. After being listed for sale for 3½ years, the home was purchased in 1992 by Brent Harris, an investment manager, and his wife Beth Edwards Harris, an architectural historian, for $1.5 million.
Seeking to restore the home to its original design, the Harris contacted Marmol Radziner + Associates to undertake the five-year project, which began in 1993. For references, the Harrises looked through the extensive Neutra archives at UCLA, found additional documents through Columbia University, and were able to work with Shulman to access some of his unpublished photos of the home's interior. They were able to obtain pieces from the original suppliers of paint and fixtures, and purchased a metal-crimping machine to reproduce the sheet-metal fascia that originally lined the roof.
The Harrises were also able to have a long-closed section of a Utah quarry reopened to mine matching stone to replace what had been removed or damaged. To help restore the desert buffer Neutra had envisioned for the house, the Harrises also bought several adjoining plots to more than double the land around the 3,200-square-foot (300 m2) house. They rebuilt a pool house that served as a viewing pavilion for the main house, and kept a tennis court that was built on a parcel added to the original Kaufmann property.
After the Harrises divorced, the home was sold on May 13, 2008, for US$15 million at auction by Christie's as a part of a high-profile sale of contemporary art. It had a presale estimate of US$15 million to US$25 million. The sale later fell through, as the bidder breached terms of the purchase agreement.
In October 2008, the house was listed for sale at US$12.95 million, but it was not sold. It was again listed for sale in October 2020 at US$25 million.
The Kaufmann house was included in a list of all-time top 10 houses in Los Angeles, despite its location in Palm Springs, in a Los Angeles Times survey of experts in December 2008.

Graceland West - Elvis Presley's House (Former)
Elvis Presley’s Palm Springs home known as “Graceland West,” was built in 1946 and is located at 845 West Chino Canyon Road in Palm Springs. It was designed by renowned Swiss architect Albert Frey, often considered the father of “desert modernism,” who had once worked with pioneering modern architect Le Corbusier. Elvis purchased the estate in 1970 for $105,000, and owned the 5,040-square-foot home for seven years, notably recording nine songs there, including “Sweet Angeline,” “Are You Sincere?,” “Blue Spanish Eyes,” and “I Miss You.” Daughter Lisa Marie was two years old when the family moved in, although they usually only spent three months a year there. Though Elvis and Priscilla lived together for a time in the house, Graceland West is more closely associated with Elvis’ bachelor days after his 1973 divorce. During those years, Elvis added an entertainment room, a personal bedroom suite, and a sauna, and built a roof over the 16-person jacuzzi to deter photographers in helicopters from taking photos. Elvis spent his last birthday at the estate on January 7, 1977.
After news of Elvis' death, fans broke into this home and stole many of his belongings.
After Presley died, Frankie Valli of The Four Seasons bought the home, and sold it in 1981 for $500,000.

Elrod House By John Lautner

By: pmoore66.
Elrod House is a residence in Palm Springs, California designed by American architect John Lautner and constructed in 1968. It is located on the edge of a hill at 2175 Southridge Drive in Palm Springs, California. The construction of the house was ordered by Arthur Elrod, the interior designer.
One of Lautner's many houses in Southridge and Palm Springs as a whole, the Elrod House is one of his most famous structures and an example of his so-called free architecture, where architecture and nature are combined. When the house was built, the soil was excavated but the rocks were kept in place. These rocks are part of the interior of the house and run straight through the walls and windows.
Its best-known feature is the large circular concrete canopy above the main living area with a circular glass design. The living room incorporates large rocks and opens onto an outdoor swimming pool and a terrace that offers a view of Palm Springs and the San Jacinto Peak.
The Elrod House's most notable appearance was as Willard Whyte's mansion in the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. The living room, swimming pool, and an interior room were displayed in the film.
The house has also been the site of photo shoots for adult publisher Playboy, and was featured in a 2010 tabloid from Yale University graphic design student Benjamin Critton.
The Elrod House was also showcased in the 2013 architecture documentary Infinite Space: The Architecture of Lautner.
Real-estate investor Michael J. Kilroy bought the Elrod House from billionaire Ron Burkle in 2003 for $5.5 million. During his ownership, Burkle updated the mechanics and restored the interior furnishings.
In April 2014, The Desert Sun reported that accusations in court documents alleged that Kilroy—who also owns two other Southridge properties—had stopped paying mortgages, most HOA dues, and property taxes. The Desert Sun article said that the Southridge Property Owners Association of Palm Springs filed a lawsuit against Kilroy in May 2012 for over $148,730 in assessments. Kilroy had reportedly signed promissory notes that did not pay the full dues. UK lender Lloyds Bank plc also filed a suit against Kilroy in Riverside County Superior Court in mid-2012, alleging Kilroy owed near $1.8 million for missed mortgage payments, as well as legal and other fees. The Desert Sun also reported that high winds in January 2012 had "lifted roof shingles from homes and buffeted sections of the Elrod House." At the time of publication in 2014, the article stated that portions of the roof were covered by "tarp canopies." The article said that a trial in the Lloyds Bank lawsuit was set for April 2015.
In May 2016, the house was turned over to the bank and its asking price was reduced to $8 million from the previous asking price of $10.5 million (which reflected a 2009 reduction from the earlier reported price of $13.89 million). The house was bought by fashion designer Jeremy Scott.

Sped into production before the first prototype flew, the Tigercat was intended as a close air support aircraft in the later stages of WWII for the numerous landing operations underway in the Pacific. However, after VJ-Day, their production was halted, resulting in no Tigercats seeing action during WWII. Of the fewer than 100 built, today only six remain airworthy.

Elvis Presley’s Palm Springs home known as “Graceland West,” was built in 1946 and is located at 845 West Chino Canyon Road in Palm Springs. It was designed by renowned Swiss architect Albert Frey, often considered the father of “desert modernism,” who had once worked with pioneering modern architect Le Corbusier. Elvis purchased the estate in 1970 for $105,000, and owned the 5,040-square-foot home for seven years, notably recording nine songs there, including “Sweet Angeline,” “Are You Sincere?,” “Blue Spanish Eyes,” and “I Miss You.” Daughter Lisa Marie was two years old when the family moved in, although they usually only spent three months a year there. Though Elvis and Priscilla lived together for a time in the house, Graceland West is more closely associated with Elvis’ bachelor days after his 1973 divorce. During those years, Elvis added an entertainment room, a personal bedroom suite, and a sauna, and built a roof over the 16-person jacuzzi to deter photographers in helicopters from taking photos. Elvis spent his last birthday at the estate on January 7, 1977.
After news of Elvis' death, fans broke into this home and stole many of his belongings.
After Presley died, Frankie Valli of The Four Seasons bought the home, and sold it in 1981 for $500,000.
