aka The Bob and Dolores Hope Residence, designed by John Lautner, aka the ‘Volcano House’
http://usmodernist.org/lautner.htm
"1979 - The Bob and Dolores Hope Residence, 2466 Southridge Drive, Palm Springs CA. Commissioned 1969. Close to the Elrod House. Has 17,531 square feet, has six bedrooms and ten bathrooms. Located in a gated community, no public access. Built by Wally Niewiadomski. Lautner got the help of noted concrete expert Felix Candela in 1970. The first design burned down in 1973 during construction. Dolores Hope made sweeping interior changes to the second 1977 design - so much so that Lautner eventually distanced himself from the project. Photos by Tasya Van Ree and Warren Lawson. Deeded to daughter Linda Hope. Sold in 2016 to Ron Burkle. Helena Arahuete is doing a restoration."

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

santa santa
