OLD PERTH # 12

The Adelphi Hotel, cnr Mill and St Georges Tce.Demolished to build this.

ELROD HOUSE

Just adding to my list of places I want to see/visit before I die
The Elrod House is in Palm Springs, California. It was designed by the American architect John Lautner and constructed in 1968. The house was built for Arthur Elrod, an interior designer. I believe most of these photos are by Leland Y. Lee.

Fun facts: The house was used as Willard Whyte's mansion in the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. The living room, swimming pool, and an interior room were featured in the film. The home has also been the site of photo shoots for Playboy Magazine.
