Description: Title supplied by cataloger.
Developer Cliff Henderson and his brother Randall had visions for this tract of empty desert in the early 1940s. One of their first developments was Shadow Mountain Club, which was established in 1946 and officially opened in December 1948. It was designed in mid-century modern stone; with a wood and glass clubhouse that half circled an enormous figure eight swimming pool, with an amazing view of the desert and snow-capped mountains.
Aerial view of Palm Desert, looking east. Shadow Mountain Club, located at 45750 San Luis Rey is visible at the center of image. The major road running slightly horizontally from left to right is Palm Desert Drive (State Route 111). An amazing view of orchards in the foreground, barren desert, and mountain range in the background, complete the frame. Photograph dated November 10, 1955.
