Greene and Greene


Gamble house - Pasadena, California (1908)




The elegant houses designed by Charles and Henry Greene have come to define the arts and crafts movement in the United States.  A seamless fusion of simplicity and sophisticated detail with meticulous attention to building materials and natural surroundings, each Greene and Greene house is a model of timeless home design.

Other architects have enjoyed more famous careers.  Many others have produced more buildings.  But no other architects have left us with a more glowing legacy of beauty, craft, livability, and spirit than Charles and Henry Greene.

KNOCK IT OFF !!!! Write something. I need some serious distraction and I am thinking you and yours are the perfect prescription. What the heck?!
