I would've love to be permitted to take photos, but anyway it was a great experience: being into an architectural masterpiece like this. More

This Green and Green (the architects) is unique in all of Pasadena. It hails from the height of the arts and craft movement. There are no nails in this house. The wood, collected from all over world, is beautiful. Great landscaping in the back. The epitome of early 20th Century luxury living More

If you have an interest in the Arts and Crafts Movement--even just an interest--don't miss Gamble. Sure, it's the perfect GreeneBros house, but also beautifully maintained, pleasant and knowledgeable guides (who do not condescend if you're not an expert). Some of the most beautiful woodwork and stained glass I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty. For my money, the most... More
