Rudolph Schindler: Toole house (Palm Desert, Calif.)

This desert house for Maryon (also listed as Marian) Toole, is located in Palm Desert, which at the time was an unincorporated area known as Palm Village. It features stone walls with wood framing, large glass walls and clerestory windows to let in light, and a large overhanging roof to keep the hot desert sun from heating up the inside.
