The Gamble House (1908) is an internationally recognized masterpiece of the American Arts and Crafts movement. Built for David and Mary Gamble, the house is the most complete and original example of the work of architects Charles and Henry Greene.
When we opened for tours in 1966, just a few books were available for purchase in the basement of the house. By the fall of 1976, the garage was converted for use as a bookstore, where the community could shop a specially curated collection of books and gifts. The original gas pump and a Greene & Greene workbench are still located inside of the bookstore.
Bookstore purchases help support the preservation work, programming and operations of the Gamble House.
