Friends of The Gamble House presents the Greene & Greene Neighborhood Walking Tour, a guided walk around the historic Arroyo Terrace neighborhood, at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 24.
The Arroyo Terrace Neighborhood is a National Register historic district that’s home to nine Greene & Greene houses and the works of other noted architects, such as Myron Hunt, Edwin Bergstrom, Elmer Grey, and D. M. Renton.
Among these are the personal residences of Myron Hunt and of Charles Greene, whose house evolved between 1902 and 1915 as his family grew and his design ideas matured. The tour will also visit the elegant Greene and Greene-designed portals and gates of Westmoreland Place.
The walking tour, led by Gamble House docents, lasts about an hour and a half and will proceed rain or shine. Participants will meet in front of the Gamble House Bookstore 10 minutes before the tour’s start time to check in. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
Tickets are $17 for both Friends of the Gamble House members and nonmembers.
To purchase tickets, visit www.gamblehouse.org/walking. Also purchase by phone by calling ACME Ticketing at (844) 325-0812.
Private Greene & Greene Neighborhood walking tours are also available for groups of 10 or fewer. Reservations must be made in advance and the tour will be scheduled at a time and date convenient to the house and the group. The fee for this tour is $170 for a maximum of 10 people.
