John Aaroe Group--Architectural Properties Division

"LA's Architectural Moment #5"...


Gamble House in Pasadena is one of So Cal's greatest architectural resources & a National Historic Landmark. Designed by architect brothers Charles Sumner Greene & Henry Mather Greene in 1908-09 for David B. Gamble (think Procter & Gamble...toothpaste...dete​rgent...etc.) Originally intended as a winter residence (like most turn-of-the-century estates in the San Gabriel Valley), this 3-story residence is often described as America's "Arts & Crafts masterpiece." Its style shows influence from traditional Japanese aesthetics & California spaciousness born of available land and a glorious climate. The Arts & Crafts Movement in American Craftsman style architecture was focused on the use of natural materials, attention to detail, aesthetics, & craftsmanship.

Aaroe Architectural (AA) is the exciting new architectural properties division at John Aaroe Group (JAG) which premiers this June. Hold on to your architectural aesthetics "...cause you ain't seen 'nothin yet!"
