Step into a piece of history at the Gamble House, a stunning 1908 architectural gem known for its exquisite Arts and Crafts design and rich storytelling.
"The Gamble House is a National Historic landmark. It is a house built in the early 1900s, which exemplifies the American Arts and Crafts style of architecture. It is beautiful inside and out. Tours are offered so you can learn about the stunning details throughout the property. The best thing to do is Brown Bag Tuesdays. You can bring a picnic lunch and eat on the terrace. There is also a little bookstore for some souvenirs." - OSSO
"Greene & Greene's Gamble House Gamble House is an architectural gem. The glass-work of the front door, chandeliers, and dining room windows is mesmerizing, and the carved frieze in the Burmese teak living room is a decorative treasure. Each room showcases a different kind of wood, and the beautiful furniture unifies the various elements of the architecture, design, and decor. I was also delighted by the concept of "sleeping porches." If you have the chance, don't miss this house tour."
"An architectural survey of Los Angeles isn't complete without seeing the work of brothers Charles and Henry Greene who pioneered the Arts & Crafts movement in California. The Gamble House in Pasadena is a particularly outstanding specimen of their endemic architectural style, as Greene & Greene custom-designed every single joint and beam in this 1908 bungalow, from the remarkably crafted staircase to the stained glass doors in the entryway, to the furniture and even the textiles—all full of references to the local natural surroundings. There's a standard hour-long tour, though architecture buffs and carpentry aficionados will appreciate the longer, more intensive options, one of which is led by a woodworker."
