#9 The Gamble House serves as familiar setting for USC Architecture’s 2015 Distinguished Alum,More info:usc
The grounds of The Gamble House, USC, in Pasadena were transformed into a magical array of twinkling lights and farmhouse tables as the USC Architectural Guild gave its 2015 Distinguished Alumni Award to Kelly Sutherlin McLeod ’82, ’83, the architect who oversaw renovations of the historic Greene and Greene masterpiece.
McLeod received her award at the 56th annual USC Architectural Guild Dinner on May 6. Newly installed USC Provost Michael Quick spoke at the event, as did USC School of Architecture Dean Qingyun Ma and architect Martha Ball ’85, the Guild president.
Edward Bosley, the James N. Gamble director of The Gamble House, welcomed Guild members and friends to the 1908 Craftsman home, considered one of the finest examples of residential architecture in America.
He and others noted that since USC took over responsibility for the home in 1966, two USC Architecture students have lived in the National Historic Landmark every year.

Wood. If one word comes to mind when considering the houses of brothers Charles and Henry Greene, it is “wood.” They used lots of it, from the structure (beams and columns) to surfaces (walls, ceilings, floors) and even the furniture they designed. Yet their use of wood is as much about quality as quantity, for they exploited the wood’s potential through craft and raised the beauty of their architecture inside and out. Their manipulation and expression of wood broke from the applied decoration of the prevailing Victorian, Queen Anne and mission styles of the day, and in this light their architecture can be seen as modern.

Longtime Gamble House Director Ted Bosley plans to step down as the leader of the Pasadena house-museum at the end of the year, citing “differences of approach” between himself and USC School of Architecture leaders over the future of the Craftsman icon.
It’s unclear what exactly the architecture school, which operates the Gamble House, envisions for the National Historic Landmark. But those in the realm of historic preservation say that Bosley’s successor has big shoes to fill.

The Gamble House is one of many homes in Pasadena designed by the architectural brothers Greene and Greene. The home was built in 1908 for the Gamble family, who inherited their last name from the Gamble in “Procter and Gamble”. The home is one of the best examples of the architectural style characterized by the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 1800’s. I had not been previously exposed to the Arts and Crafts movement, but my impression is that it involves a lot of woodwork, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
