He lived in the house for a very short time. The exterior on the front and the pool area was once used in a Joan Crawford movie. Interesting in that the front street at that time was dirt and open desert all around. The house has been extensively remodeled over the years. Today's stucco exterior replaced the original board and battan siding. The original dining area was raised. In reality, there is not that much on the inside that was there when Sinatra lived there.
Yeah, I saw a documentary the other day and they said the road was essentially empty at the time. Seems like much of what is there now was built up around him. I'm hoping to find old maps and photos. I was in Palm Springs for the first time a few years ago. It is astonishing and otherworldly. Must have been even more so in the 1940s and 1950s.
@@StrangeHistoryX The Joan Crawford movie from, 1950 "The Dammed Don't Cry", a pretty good movie, they use the pool and and the exterior of the front of the Sinatra house. None of the inside was used and the setting was somewhere in Arizona. If you like old movies, this is one to watch.

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
The kitchen has St. Charles metal cabinets. The question was wether or not those are original. Either way, those cabinets are $$$ Valuable $$$ today. They did a good job integrating those with ore modern appliances that went in about 20 years ago.
@@StrangeHistoryX The all metal Saint Charles cabinets are super high quality and no longer made. I think those went in during the very late 1990's. The breakfast room by the kitchen is the original foyer of the house. The places is used these days mainly as a short term rental and have been in it several times from tours and some friends who rented the place on that basis. Was invited to a catered dinner party there about a decade ago.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 !!

Thank you for another super video
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!
Hankie Pankie in front of a fire is 🔥
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.
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
I've always been a fan of Frank Sinatra! We shared the same birthday! December 12th! 😊
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!
“Hanky panky” is so my mother 👍🏻😂

Nice house. Nice video. No one has yet to furnish that place the way it deserves to be.

You are correct. It is just uncouth to move the girlfriend into the wife's home. Especially when there was an overlap.
Tjhe piano has a 8track player
