Gamble House to Get $3.5-Million Rehab
The landmark Gamble House, an icon of the Arts and Crafts movement, will undergo a $3.5-million renovation early next year, its first since its construction in 1908.
“Our goals are to conserve the house for the years to come, as well as restore specific elements of the Gamble House to how the original architects--Charles and Henry Greene--envisioned the home at the turn of the 20th century,” said Edward Bosley, Gamble House director.

Gamble House--A California section news brief on Oct. 31 incorrectly reported that the Getty Grant Program will support the $3.5-million restoration of the landmark Gamble House in Pasadena. The Getty Grant Program has awarded the Gamble House project planning grants in the past, but the current grant application is still pending.
Beginning in the spring, the exterior green paint will be removed, the solid pine beams in the exterior eaves will be restored and rotting and fungus-infected fittings treated. The restoration of the exterior is expected to take two years. It will be funded in part by the Getty Grant Program and other donations. A fund-raising campaign will be launched Nov. 9.
The house was deeded to the city of Pasadena and USC in 1966.
