Pasadena's architectural gem |
4 Westmoreland Place Los Angeles, CA 91103 +1 626 793 3334 http://www.gamblehouse.org/ |
Once the winter home of the Gamble family, this house was designed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1908. Regarded as one of the masterpieces of the Craftsman style, the architects also contributed designs to many of the furnishings. The house is maintained by the USC School of Architecture, and is now used as a study center and a getaway for visiting scholars. The loop of Arroyo Terrace behind Westmoreland Place reveals several other similar bungalows designed by the Greene brothers, during the first decade of the 20th century. Tours led by docents are given between noon and 3p Thursday through Sunday only. Tours last about an hour, and require no reservation. A limited number of tickets are available each day, so it is advisable to arrive early, especially on the weekends. No photography is allowed in the house, and visitors are advised to wear flat, broad-heeled shoes to protect the rugs and floors. Review © 2009, Wcities |
