Never pass up an opportunity to tour a Greene and Greene house - IMHO!
Pasadena and surroundings were heavily populated by Easterners who came west for their health - most importantly, breathing issues.
The Greenes' father was the then equivalent of a pulmonologist - a lung doctor back then. Amongst other phenomenal designs, their houses prominently featured fresh-air devices and designs. Not the least of which were sleeping porches - screened in areas off of the main bedrooms for sleeping when it was warm. They were all fleeing the coal fired, consumption prone East.
And then there's the exposed joinery...
