    Visiting LA area .... Help

    I am visiting the LA area (staying at the Doubletree Ontario Airport)and I'd love to see some sites in the area preferably woodworking or Arts & Crafts (Stickly, Greene&Greene, Mission) related. I've already scoped out the Gamble house (Thursday tour hopefully). What else is there? I'm sure I'll end up in Carlsbad one evening as I have an uncle down there. All I have is the evenings. Any suggestions?

    Visit to LA

    Very near the Gamble House is another Green & Green design, The Blacker House. Since it is privately owned, you can only view it from the outside. Absolutely stunning.

    And, owing to its corner location, you can walk along the side street and see much of the exquisite backyard. My woodworking club got a special tour of both locations and my darling wife picked the Craftsman style for our newly built home.

    The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce has addresses and maps to other Green & Green houses in the community

    I second Jim's recomendation. Mark is a great guy and I learned a lot from him during my visit.
