Notes:

The David B. Gamble house, built for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter and Gamble Company. The Greenes rapidly perfected their version of the California bungalow: an informal timber dwelling, in which the rustic was refined through impeccably crafted materials and details. Their interest in refinement led them to the traditional Japanese house with its meticulous wood detailing, and their next houses displayed timber jointing, panelling and cabinetwork, often carried out by one of the brothers, which remain high-points of wood construction. A series of what Randall Makinson called 'ultimate bungalows' followed in quick succession: the Tichenor House (1904), 582 East Ocean Boulevard, Long Beach, CA; the Blacker House, 1177 Hillcrest Avenue, Pasadena; the Gamble House (1908), 4 Westmoreland Place, Pasadena; and the Pratt House (1909), Ojai, CA.
