Historical Casitas of La Quinta Cove (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798989244713)

Deep in the Colorado Desert of Southern California lies the City of La Quinta. Tucked away in a cove surrounded by the Santa Rosa Mountains are sixty three small houses; many have a star or starlet studded history.

The exceptional thing is that these Spanish Colonials were all built between 1935 and 1941. They are related by their modest size, white adobe-like exterior, low red tiled roofs, and wood lintels. Many of them only show the tops of their tiled roof to the outside world.

Who built these homes? Who lived in them? Why are they sprinkled around the Cove without rhyme or reason?
