Description
As travel by personal car became more feasible during the 1920s, the mountains surrounding Los Angeles on the east became weekend getaways for residents. The use of hot springs for relaxation and to cure various ailments was a popular attraction. The Soboba Hot Springs Hotel filled both of those requirements for Los Angeles residents.
Stacy-Judd combined his vast interest in Native American, Mexican, and Central American cultures with an Americanized version of different types of dwelling units. The cultural appropriation of native housing styles created a 'village' of native peoples who did not inhabit the same locations. While the hotel was popular for many years, it was eventually demolished and a hotel run by the local Native American tribe now bears its name.
