Architectural Digest was not much more than a decade old in 1934 when it published a story featuring a house in Palm Springs. Originally a quarterly trade directory titled The Architectural Digest: A Pictorial Digest of California's Best Architecture, the magazine was founded by John Coke Brasfield, a Tennessee-born publisher who moved to Southern California establishing the eponymous John C. Brasfield Publishing Corporation, which according to its Wikipedia page focused "on high-quality visual features of residential architecture, including floor plans, interiors, and exteriors."
