A friend of mine told me about this place recently and we went up to it. Wonderful wonderful place to visit plan ahead to visit it. The tour was excellent and only minutes away from the Norton Simon Museum this is a real must if you like architecture.

The Gamble House is full of architectural history, a national historic landmark, and museum in Pasadena. Its style shows influence from traditional Japanese aesthetics and a certain California spaciousness. The family crest is Crane. Family likes the number 3. The house has an overview of the Rose Bowl. Admission price is inexpensive. Parking can be a challenge. Staff and tour guides are friendly, professional and knowledgable. Overall, I highly recommend The Gamble House to anyone local or tourist.

A truly magnificent house built by the Gamble family of Procter & Gamble in the early 1900's. A remarkable architectural structure that was way ahead of its time. The furniture was also designed the architects.
You must take the tour, otherwise you really miss out on the history.response / report this review -

A slice of Pasadena and California History. Definitely come by and do the guided tour. It's quite a house to see and the history is fun. It's like looking back in time and peering into how people lived once upon a time. Worth the trip.

I didn't see inside. The outside is beautiful. Different architecture and structure. Well maintained. The gardens, both front and back and nice and well taken care of with a variety of rocks and flowers. If you can stop by the little library and remember back to the future movie was shoot there. That was Doc Brown house!!!

I am a Docent @ the GH. It is one of the loveliest places to visit in Pasadena, especially if you like the Arts & Crafts and the great architect brothers Charles & Henry Greene.

Extremely unique. This home, influenced by the arts and craftsman era, was custom made and designed in the early 1900s. I loved seeing the details, hearing about the functionality, and soaking in the aesthetically pleasing art that was the home. Great piece of Pasadena history.

An architectural treasure, well worth a visit. Craftsman design by period masters Green&Green. Very informative docents led our tour. Unfortunately disappointing that interior photography (even flash-less) was not allowed, though good books by professional photographers are available in the gift shop.

Great Scott! If you're a fan of architecture or Back to the Future it's a must see when in Southern California. Even if you aren't a fan of either, maybe it will spark your interest.

A well maintained example of a famous Greene and Greene house. The tour allows you get close to details and textures as well as furnishings many designed by the Greene brothers. Small gift shop with related arts and crafts items.

The Gamble House is a lovely historical landmark to visit if you are interested in seeing how art movements like American Arts and Crafts influence architecture. The home is very well preserved and while we were here they were in the process of restoring the rafters. Purchase tickets for a tour if you want to see the inside. There is a discount for students.
