Albert Frey is a Swiss architect credited with being one of the founders of Desert Modernism in the Palm Springs area. He worked for Le Corbusier in 1928-1929 before immigrating to the United States. He has contributed buildings to Palm Springs for about 30 years. The Gas Station (Tramway refers to the aerial tramway the road leads to) is among his latest works, built in 1965. It was abandoned for most of the 1990s, restored as an art gallery in 2000 and renovated to its current state and function as a Visitors Center in 2003.
