Mysterious Greene Greene Like Houses
On my way to the airport, I ran into a friend and told him about my upcoming trip. He told me his sister-in-law, or someone related to him, lived in a G&G house and gave me her number .. I called her when I got to town and she agreed to let me visit her and her house ... Cool neighborhood ... I dont know if her house is a documented G&G but it sure had some similarities ... The whole neighborhood had a consistent Arts and Crafts feel. As I recall, she had some original plans and I glanced at them, but dont remember the details ... Click the photos to enlarge them and leave a comment if you know anything about the houses or the neighborhood ... Thanks ....
My memory is a little sketchy and I didnt take notes, but I think this is the front door of the sister-in-law? Since she met me when I pulled up, I didnt take a lot of photos of the outside of the house ... I think hers was the 2nd or third on the left.
Her front door from the inside ...
She took me to meet her neighbor down the street at #309 ... He was also friendly and gave me a tour of his house ... I dont have a photo, but he had a definite G&G like stairway and I also recall some stained glass transom lights ...
The neighbors front porch ...
Below I have posted photos of (I think) Charless studio around the corner from the Gamble House .... I would love to know a little about that and what it looked like inside ... Thanks ...
