Demolition / Spa Resort Hotel

Apparently, the John Mason sculptures are being removed prior to the bulldozing. Source: Bon Vivant
The walkway is also being saved. I was updated by Donald Wexler's son, Gary. He watched the entire colonnade get demolished, despite the tribe spokesman saying the last segment of the canopy would be saved. All of the buildings will be demolished. This includes the William Cody designed hotel and the Donald Wexler/ Richard Harrison bath house. It's a very sad day indeed.Source: Bon Vivant

Palm Springs Spa / Gone
The Palm Springs Spa (now The Spa Resort and Hotel) will be demolished within the next 18 months. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians confirmed this at a recent meeting withthe Palm Springs City Council. The hotel is scheduled to close on July 8th. Apparently, this is a done deal.

The reflecting pool and Architectural Pottery are long gone.
It's easy to miss, but there's an insane John Mason ceramic installation behind the bushes, to the left of the walkway.
