Gamble House: Greene & Greene by Edward R Bosley & John Hewitt

Gamble House: Greene & Greene by Edward R Bosley & John Hewitt, Tim Street-Porter (Photographer)

The Gamble House was the masterpiece of Greene and Greene's new regional style. Built for a wealthy heir of the soap firm Procter and Gamble, the house represents the full ennoblement of the California bungalow image, yet the building is still striking for its intimacy, intricacy and scale. Stunning photography by Tim Street-Porter reveals this house as a genuine and enduring masterpiece.

Edward R Bosley is Director of the Gamble House. He holds a degree in the History of Art from the University of California at Berkeley, where he studied the work of the Greene brothers first-hand, living for several years in one of their classic, high-period commissions, the W R Thorsen House (1909), a former private residence which now houses students. He is also the author of the definitive monograph Greene and Greene, also published by Phaidon.
