Looking for another budget friendly local escape, if so the Gamble House located in Pasadena offers just that , for under eleven dollars with your student identification card you will get more than you bargain for. This architectural masterpiece was built in 1909 by local area architects Charles and Henry Greene (southpasadena.patch.com). The house was built for David Berry Gamble, a second generation member of the
Procter & Gamble Company in Cincinnati. David moved to Pasadena to retire with his wife Mary Huggins Gamble. In 1977 the house was named a California Historic Landmark (gamblehouse.com). The beautiful two story house represents the ideology behind the California bungalow. The house incorporates many feung shui characteristics with its spacious corridors, warm "skin tone"colors and vast greenery through the interior and exterior of the house. Walking through the house you can definitively appreciate the periods furnishings as well as the attention to detail in the infrastructure such as that the stained glass on the doors and the unique banister on the staircase. If your planning on taking tour i recommend you buy your tickets in advance since space is limited. I also recommend you come with time so you can absorb the beauty through the house. Bellow I have a website that can give you additional information. Bellow you will also find pictures as well as a YouTube video just in case you are not able to make it any time soon.
