Mid century in Palm Springs is my fav architectural style, this home is fabulous. I was a little disappointed w/ Sinatra’s decor but a fabulous home non the less…. …Hanky Panky is a perfectly acceptable expression Thank you for another super video
I produced a photo shoot there in the late 90's. I doubt that the piano shaped pool was an accident. Not mentioned in this video is the fact that the portico alongside the pool was designed so that the sun would cast shadows through the portico openings that made the piano shaped pool appear to have black and white piano keys on the correct side of the pool. I'm pretty sure this was an intentional aspect of the design.
It sure seems that way. But the architect himself said it wasn’t. But who knows? John Lennon lied about the creation of his own songs. Sometimes artists just want a bit of mystery.
Wait a min. The Kitchen’s Vikings Frig and Dishwasher were not being made back then. Still a great historical video. And the piano is a Yamaha Diskclavier 1st made in the 1980s.

You said something "wasn't cool." Well, if The Chairman did it, whatever it was, it became instantly "cool." "It's Frank's world," said Dean Martin "and we're just livin' in it."
Fascinating video as always. You know, even though Frank Sinatra commissioned it, I think it was the home of the people who lived in it for 43 years. I would love to hear their story.
Nearly every photo of the house in this video is post-2010, taken by the agencies responsible for renting it out. Even the black and white photos are current. There are about three film stills, and the Getty Images color shot (1951) of women at the pool which are vintage, but that's it. There are clear "tells" for current versus vintage photos. The famous palms in the 1950s had low greenery planted around their base, but now stand on their own with the trucks bare, for example.
Home recording studio????????????? There's nothing there to record on or with. It's hard to record on a record changer or a commercial turntable. In Frank's L.A. home, he had a built-in 3-track R2R tape recorder. That he could do some recording with.
Yikes! I can’t imagine a Georgian style home in the middle of the desert. 😮 I agree this and Bob Hope’s home would make wonderful retreats. Everyday live maybe a bit austere.
I've been there more than once road the tram. But look at if dirt rocks and crowded. JFK said no after Siatra prepped for him. Believed ah say ties S had John was told make it quick. I'll swaap for my pad in. SIERRA Foothills 2300

This video would have been 10 times better if you had avoided trying to be cute and funny. No one watches anything like this to listen to a really bad comic.

I don’t think that most of photos here showed Frank’s original decor. That orange geometric painting and white walls with a beige sofa was pretty bad!
Great little tour and commentary. These back to the past videos never grow old and by the way, first time I’ve seen this one. Really enjoyed !!

Putting the ovens behind an opening door is surely a strange and impractical feature.
Probably not code these days!
It’s imperfect, but not a real problem. That door was probably only open for deliveries in the morning.
Hankie Pankie in front of a fire is 🔥
Nice house. Nice video. No one has yet to furnish that place the way it deserves to be.
This architectural style reminds me of a motel travel lodge

Hanky-thanky for the upload.

LOVE this crib.

Great video. Very interesting.
I've always been a fan of Frank Sinatra! We shared the same birthday! December 12th! 😊
Great video!!
Love your narration. You have a little Steve Van Zant in your voice
Finally! Someone didn't say Matthew Broderick. :)
@@StrangeHistoryXI agree with Van Zant and am thankful you’re not using an AI voice 👏🏻
@@StrangeHistoryXDefinitely, you do sound more like Matthew Broderick. Lol!
I had no idea it no longer is privately owned. Beautiful place with so much history
Cool! Thanks for the video. I enjoy or take on things.
He would REALLY have needed the a/c with that 2-story Georgian. I can’t even imagine how hot that upper floor would get
Legend has it that when Frank and company were partying, the skull and crossbones flag would be flying.
Frank Lloyd Wright vibes.
I love this house, I might make a duplicate of it in San Antonio, Texas !!!!!
The Damned Don't Cry 1950 with Joan Crawford was amazing.
Fascinating video as always. You know, even though Frank Sinatra commissioned it, I think it was the home of the people who lived in it for 43 years. I would love to hear their story.
“Hanky panky” is so my mother 👍🏻😂
Your origin revealed
a VERY cool pad!!!
Hanky panky is the perfect description of what went on there.
This was great. I am a fan of using hankie pankie. 😅😂❤

Being of mid-century vintage myself, I find this house fabulous. It’s not Wright, but it is damn cool!
I say hankie pankie all the time 😂
You are correct. It is just uncouth to move the girlfriend into the wife's home. Especially when there was an overlap.
I don't say hankey pankey. But I'm on board with it being said.
Tjhe piano has a 8track player
No 8-track. The piano is a Yamaha Disklavier, digital player-piano. It's modern tech.
Why pink Bathrooms?
❤🎉😊
Can it be a mansion if it’s only one story?
Absolutely
👍

Well the Franksta was a Gangsta.
Flat TVs did not exist back then. so the tv on the wall should have not been there at his time

"George in" not Georgey in.
$1 million in 1946?
most of those houses look like motels
Why need a big house not interested at all just for show 😢
I love hanky panky
Owned now by Jim Pattison a Billionaire from Vancouver.
Frank Notsohotra
Tommy James and the shondells 1963 my baby does the hanky panky
Why in the hell would you want to spend 4 grand for one night
Hanky panky....
I would have prefer the colonial mansion.

Oh eff off you depressing fool and dump your pathetic negativity somewhere else.
Never cared for his acting very over rated.
Check out the film The Joker is Wild, if you can find it. Compelling story. Frank's acting is good.
You are not nearly as funny as you think you are!
