- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 16 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Fri, 16 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Discover how Chicagoans helped define desert modernism. From the striking Morse and Florsheim residences to the stylish Edelstone condominium, Chicago snowbirds commissioned bold, modern “nests” in Palm Springs and beyond.
