The contagious energy and optimism of the new century spurred architects Charles and Henry Greene and their clients, David and Mary Gamble, to break with tradition in 1907 to create a home that was original and uniquely American. The Gamble House is a harmonious composition of related details that become the focus of this unusual book. After an introduction to the Greenes, the Gambles, and the house, the reader examines at close range the artistry and craftsmanship that makes this house one of the treasures of the century. Over 100 color photographs convey the dramatic interior of this Arts and Crafts masterpiece.

This review is from: Images of the Gamble House: Masterwork of Greene & Greene (Paperback)
This book is an excellent companion before, during, and after your visit to the Gamble House. The photographs are spectacular and allow the reader to see the unique design elements and patterns found throughout the house.
