Gamble House (Pasadena, California)

The Gamble House, also known as David B. Gamble House, is a National Historic Landmark, a California Historical Landmark, and museum at 4 Westmoreland Place in Pasadena, California, USA.

In 1908 Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene(brothers) of the architectural firm Greene and Greene designed and constructed it as a home for David B. Gamble of the Procter & Gamble co.

First of all , The Gamble House was a target for criticism during the twentieth century. However, after the Second World War it received newfound popularity.

One major feature of the Gamble House was to be distant from many other houses nearby. Therefor it is also architecturally distinct to the Victorian style of nearby buildings such as the Fenyes House. 

David and Mary Gamble lived in the house during the winter months until their deaths in 1923 and 1929, respectively. Mary's younger sister Julia lived in the house until her death in 1943. Cecil Huggins Gamble and his wife Louise Gibbs Gamble lived in the house beginning in 1946 and briefly considered selling it until prospective buyers spoke of painting the interior teak and mahogany woodwork white. In 1966, the Gamble family turned the house over to the city of Pasadena in a joint agreement with the University of Southern California School of Architecture. The Gamble House was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977.  Today, two 5th year USC architecture students live in the house full-time; the selected students change annually.

Featured as the home of Dr. Emmett Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy.
