The Gamble House stands in Pasadena, California, designed by the architects Charles and Henry Greene of the firm Greene and Greene and completed in 1908 as a winter residence for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter and Gamble family. It is considered one of the finest surviving examples of American Arts and Crafts architecture, its design unifying broad sheltering rooflines, exposed structural timber joinery, and built-in furniture and cabinetry crafted from woods including teak, oak and mahogany, much of it designed by the Greenes themselves down to the smallest detail. Wide terraces, sleeping porches and extensive use of natural materials reflect the Greenes' interest in California's climate and in Japanese timber construction, an influence visible throughout the house's joinery and massing. The house remains substantially unaltered and is now operated as a house museum by the University of Southern California.
