Edmund Goulding Estate

Edmund Goulding Estate 1752 Ridge Road, Palm Springs, CA 92264

The Goulding Estate is one of Palm Springs’ most important early connections to Hollywood’s golden age. Originally constructed circa 1927-28 as part of Edmond Fulford’s pioneering Palm Springs Mesa subdivision, the property was transformed into the internationally renowned “Little White House” compound under the ownership of celebrated film director Edmund Goulding (1935-1941) and served as an unofficial embassy for Hollywood’s elite and European aristocracy.
