The Gamble House Lectures and Tours
Friday 9:00 am – 11:00 am
$30 nonmembers / $25 members
Attend one of two lectures, presented by The Gamble House Speakers Bureau, followed by a docent-guided tour of this National Historic Landmark.
“Asian-Inspired Influences on the Design of The Gamble House”
The 1853 opening of Japan had a profound impact on Western fin de siècle art and culture. Curious to experience the lure of the Orient, David and Mary Gamble and family spent 16 weeks on tour in 1908. Charles and Henry Greene memorialized their travels through numerous subtle Asian references in their new Pasadena home.
“The Culture of the Arroyo Seco and The Gamble House”
The Arts & Crafts Movement in England and Scotland led to a revival of hand craftsmanship and art throughout Europe and in the United States. Near Los Angeles, California, two parallel threads of artistic achievement, one in the urban center of Pasadena and another near the stream bed of the Arroyo Seco, occurred simultaneously. The expressions of the Arts & Crafts ideals in the Arroyo occurred across several artistic disciplines and are a part of our local Southern California cultural heritage.

Blacker House Reception

Pasadena Heritage is delighted to host an exclusive tour and reception at the Robert R. Blacker House in Pasadena. This masterpiece, designed by Charles and Henry Greene, was stripped of its interior fixtures, stained-glass windows and furnishings before Pasadena Heritage and concerned citizens could intervene. The current owners have had the home restored, and nearly all of its furnishings, lighting, windows and doors have been returned or recreated. They also recently acquired the adjacent lot, part of the original estate, and recreated the lovely gardens which received a 2016 Pasadena Preservation Award. The Blacker House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and continues to be a testament to Pasadena’s great architectural heritage. After the tour, guests will enjoy wine and light hors d’oeuvres served in the elegant gardens. Guests are asked to wear soft-sole shoes and no interior photography is allowed.
