The Chart House is architecturally significant as a unique and outstanding example of “Organic Modern” design, sensitively

integrated into its site and responsive to the desert climate. Designed by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, it was built in 1978

and appeared on the cover of Restaurant Design magazine in 1981. In 1994, it received the Vintage Pinot Noir Award

sponsored by AIA, APA, ASLA, AEP, CSPE, IEDI of the Inland Empire of California, in large part due to its energy efficiency.

Kellogg attended university at San Diego State, University of Colorado, University of Southern California, and the University of

California at Berkeley. He received an architect’s license in California in 1964 and a building contractor’s license in 1966, a

national license in 1979, and a global (international) license in 1998. Kellogg’s motto is: "the more unusual the site, the better

the Architecture."
