Melba Bennett Residence

Melba Bennett Residence 1184 Camino Mirasol, Palm Springs, CA 92262

Completed in 1934, and designed by Pasadena-based architect Charles O. Marcham, this beautifully landscaped and restored two-story residence is a rare example of California Monterey style in Old Las Palmas.  The residence is also known locally as the Donna Reed Estate.  

In December of 2024, the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation board of directors assigned the task of writing the Class 1 Historic Resource nomination for the Melba Bennett Residence to PSPF board advisor Steve Vaught.
