Lead Section Outline

The Gamble House, also known as David B. Gamble House, is a National Historic Landmark, a California Historical Landmark, and museum at 4 Westmoreland Place in Pasadena, California, USA. It was designed by brothers Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene of the architectural firm Greene and Greene and constructed 1908–09 as a home for David B. Gamble of the Procter & Gamble company.

The Gamble House sat amidst a variety of buildings that took inspiration from Classical European architecture, though the house itself leant more towards Japanese Architecture; incorporating a number of Japanese design elements in both its interior and exterior that made it unique and suitable for the climate of Southern California. And, although largely reliant on Japanese elements and seen as a representative of the American-style because of some of its aspects, some European elements were still included in the Gamble House's design.

David B. Gamble's family owned the house until their death, wherein it was then passed down to other relations until 1966, when it was sold to an outsider who, upon seeing the Gamble House's unique and important architecture, gave it to the city of Pasadena.
