Wine DetectiveApril 7, 2013Greene brothers designed the house, the landscaping, all furniture and lighting. Beautiful place. There are several Greene private homes on the adjacent street, including Charles Greene own home.
eric bornemannSeptember 26, 2020Craftsman architectural jewel with fantastic interiors. Only way to see us with a guided tour. Really cool front door. Also Doc Browns house from Back to the Future.
CakesMarch 22, 2015Adults - $15; Seniors (65+) & Students with ID - $12.50, Brown Bag Tuesdays - $8 (Enjoy your lunch on the terrace and take a docent-led 20-minute tour at 12:15 or 12:45.)- JulieJanuary 10, 2016Sooooo interesting! Had a great docent tour. Such interesting architecture and history. Definitely worth seeing if you're in the area.
@socalwithkidsJuly 22, 2013The Gamble House & property are not stroller friendly, so leave them behind. Free parking. Be sure to walk around the back side of the house. 20 minute discounted "brown bag" tours offered on Tues.- Scott RoseFebruary 12, 2016We did an abbreviated tour that was just right for our level of interest and knowledge. Enthusiastic, well-informed docent.
James MarshallJuly 22, 2012"Then tell me, future boy, who's President of the United States in 1985?" - This is Doc Brown's house as used in the Back to the Future trilogy of films! Read more
Kitt HodAugust 26, 2018Your docent will make or break the tour, a good one making the house visit amazing, a poor one making it boring.
Gaia DempseyMarch 20, 2010The store has really cute jewelry and tiles. Definitely take a tour of the inside - it costs $10 and happens every Saturday - but the grounds are also a nice place to spend time.
Nathan QuonDecember 29, 2012Imported Burmese teak wood, Japanese influence, Chinese silk thread. These guys did it right #ballin
Los AngelesAugust 1, 2013This National Historic Landmark is a Craftsman-style masterpiece built in 1908-09.
Make sure to ask the docents about the hidden panels and storage locations. See if they know where any of them are.
