Darren’s Meetup: Free Self-Guided Group Visit to the Gamble House in Pasadena
Details
Join me on Sunday, October 12th, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. for a rare free visit to The Gamble House in Pasadena!
Normally, admission is $20 per person and only available through docent-led tours, but today the doors are open for a special self-guided experience at no cost.
The Gamble House, built in 1908 for David and Mary Gamble of Procter & Gamble, is considered one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts architecture.
Designed by renowned architects Charles and Henry Greene, the home is celebrated worldwide for its harmonious blend of wood, glass, and stone, handcrafted details, and seamless integration with its surrounding gardens.
As you explore, you’ll see original furniture, exquisite stained glass, and architectural details that make this house a National Historic Landmark and an enduring symbol of Pasadena’s cultural heritage.
This is a wonderful opportunity to step back in time, appreciate timeless craftsmanship, and enjoy a unique piece of California history—completely free, today only.
