dc.descriptionCorrugated metal panels at top of flat roof hide HVAC for the nine units; Originally known as the "Town and Desert", the nearby (2 blocks apart) Hideaway was Burn’s first Inn, completed in November of 1947 and photographed by the renowned architectural photographer Julius Shulman for Architectural Record. Burns later built what is now known as the Orbit In in 1957. Originally called "The Village Manor" it has a similar design, with spacious studios (this time he did some with separate kitchens) built around an intimate pool courtyard setting with dramatic San Jacinto Mountains views. Both have only 9 units but were conceived as "ultra modern motor court inns." Restored in 2002. Source: Orbit In [website]; http://www.orbitin.com/ (accessed 8/30/2015)en_US
