Community Church Of Palm Springs

283 SOUTH CAHUILLA ROAD
PALM SPRINGS

Next door to the Orchid Tree Inn sits the once-celebrated Community Church of Palm Springs. Designed in the Gothic Revival style by William Charles Tanner in 1935, President Eisenhower and his wife, Mamie, attended services there while visiting the desert in 1954. Shuttered since 2004, the once stately parish is charred and decaying today, following mass devastation resulting from two fires that tore through the property in 2013 and 2022. While there have been talks of transforming the church, as well as the Orchid Tree Inn, into a boutique resort, those plans have yet to come to fruition.
