  • Charles experimented with many Craftsman ideas while building his own home. The front room, buttressed by boulders and bricks, was a later addition.

  • This large home, owned by a church, marks the first time the Greenes added a porte-cochere (a porchlike roof) above the driveway in front of the house.

  • This large, beautiful home, originally a single story bungalow, pays homage to Japanese design with its slightly upturned roofs.

  • This handcrafted masterpiece is a symphony of rich wood, leaded glass windows, and a stained-glass Tiffany door.

  • Originally one of the brothers’ smallest designs, this bungalow sports a deep overhang of eaves sheltering the main entrance along the driveway side.

  • This home is distinguished by a very wide covered porch, which keeps out the heat as well as the light, giving the house a rather sombre appearance.

  • The stained-glass entrance door, the clinker brick wall, and the pergola are the only surviving Greene & Greene elements of this extensively remodeled home.

  • Mary Ranney worked as a draftsperson at the brothers’ firm and contributed many of the design ideas for this lovely shingled corner mansion.

  • Hemmed in by an unusual wall made of warped clinker bricks and boulders, this pretty house has a stained-glass front door.

  • This house has lost much of its Craftsman look thanks to the replacement of the shingle exterior with painted stucco.
