The Gamble House was designed in 1908 by the Greene brothers, Charles and Henry, of the architectural firm Greene & Greene, in Pasadena, CA. Their firm is remembered as a leader in the Arts & Crafts movement, and this home, built for members of the Gamble family (as in Procter & Gamble), is their best preserved work. The Greenes meticulously designed every aspect of the structure, from the exteriors, to the stained glass, to the woodwork and furniture inside. The house is stunning, and impressive to anyone who appreciates architecture, interior design, or incredibly skilled craftsmanship. Unfortunately photographs are not allowed inside, but you can plan your own tour or see more
