Piazza di Liberace

Piazza di Liberace 1441 North Kaweah Road, Palm Springs, CA 92262

Built by contractor John H. (“Jack”) Slaten in 1951, this simple, contemporary home was bought by Liberace in 1966 and was his primary residence until 1974. Liberace remodeled the house extensively, and stylistically it is in harmony with the over-the-top Hollywood Regency style for which he is most well-known. Of the three Palm Springs homes owned and lived in by Liberace, Piazza di Liberace is the only one remaining which closely resembles its appearance at the time he owned it.
