Summary

Many books have been written about the California architects Greene & Greene, exploring their style and masterworks such as the Gamble House and Blacker House. The heart of this book is the work of Greene and Greene in their early years, up to 1906, the development of what we call today the "Greene and Greene style," and Pasadena's Duncan-Irwin house where it first all came together. It is the ground upon which their later grander work would be built.

Excerpts

This book grew out of a personal fascination with a 1906 commission of the architectural firm of Greene and Greene, one of their jobs not usually counted among their masterworks. No chairs or tables with intricate inlays of rare woods and abalone shell were designed for it; stained glass artisans were not guided in completing art glass for its doors and windows; nor was there a mahogany and art glass lighting fixture hanging over its dining room table. In fact, it was not even a house they were commissioned to design; it was merely a job handed to the firm for alterations and additions to an existing home that had been recently purchased by the wealthy New Yorker Theodore Irwin.
