California Architecture

Pasadena is renowned for its spectacular California-style Craftman homes, including several of the most famous homes built by famed architects Greene & Greene. The main attraction is Gamble House — one of the most beautiful Arts & Crafts homes ever built — and the impressive (if less famous) Blacker House. A field trip to this picturesque neighborhood should begin at Gamble House where you should take the tour, then pick up a guide to neighborhood architecture and wander through the Arroyo Terrace and Hillcrest/Wentworth areas of Pasadena, where you can stop and admire dozens of inspiring homes.
