Gamble House

Gamble House

Charles and Henry Greene constructed the Gamble House for the Procter and Gamble family in 1908. The Greene brothers spared no expense in the construction and design of this house. They designed everything from textiles to furnishings with inspirations from Japanese architecture. They also, hired 10 local craftsmen to help hand craft every single inch of the building.

I personally love the design of the house as it looks nothing like many of the cookie cutter houses of todays day and age. The woodworking on the interior is absolutely amazing because everything inside the house was made to go together. Each piece of furniture looks like it was meant to be there rather than the next best option. Overall, the craftmanship on this house is amazing and is probably why it became a national landmark with dozens of tours a day still occurring at this house.
