Thesis (M.H.P.)--University of Southern California, 2013.

The contribution of the gay community - and gay men in particular - to the cause of historic preservation in the United States has long been tacitly accepted, but seldom documented. This thesis fills part of that gap by documenting, as a singular case study, the role played by gay men in rediscovering, rehabilitating, and reviving the faded resort city of Palm Springs, California.

520 $a The contribution of the gay community - and gay men in particular - to the cause of historic preservation in the United States has long been tacitly accepted, but seldom documented. This thesis fills part of that gap by documenting, as a singular case study, the role played by gay men in rediscovering, rehabilitating, and reviving the faded resort city of Palm Springs, California.
520 $a Over the course of the 20th century, Palm Springs developed from a modest spa town into an exclusive winter resort, and, after World War II, into a popular vacation destination for the growing middle class. The city's popularity, and its period of greatest development, peaked in the two decades after World War II, coinciding with the rise of Modernism in the United States, before declining dramatically in the 1970s, leaving Palm Springs a virtual ghost town that yet boasted the largest and finest concentration of mid-20th century Modern architecture in the country.
520 $a This thesis documents how, at its popular and economic nadir, Palm Springs was rediscovered largely by gay men - many in the fields of architecture, design, and publishing - who built a community, rehabilitated neglected Modern houses, led the effort to recognize and preserve the city's unique architectural heritage and, in so doing, fostered the city's economic, cultural, and political renaissance.
