Albert Frey: Bel Vista tract housing (Palm Springs, Calif.)

The Bel Vista affordable housing tract was built in 1945 as housing for War workers. The subdivision of 15 homes was designed by Albert Frey and John Porter Clark for the developers Sallie Stevens and Culver Nichols. This was the first subdivision in Palm Springs to feature modern-style houses, and the only Frey housing tract.
