Admire a mansion's-worth of woodwork at The Gamble House, an Arts and Crafts-style residence that today belongs in the National Register of Historic Places. Finished in 1908 by David Gamble of Proctor & Gamble fame, the home boasts extensive gardens, a fully wooden exterior, and a host of decks, awnings, and outdoor patios. Join a guided tour led by a docent to explore the house's ornate interior. As you wander the living spaces, marvel at the collection of decorative furnishings and array of spacious rooms. Keep in mind that you must sign up for the tour in order to access the building, so book ahead of time as spots are limited and fill up quickly.

  What a great tour for $15! It was a bit longer than an hour because we just had so much fun. You can walk into almost all of the rooms on original run and there is such an incredible amount of original custom furniture, pottery, art, and lights. Such a treasure! The gift shop had some really great finds too. Well worth an hour or so of your time.

  A wonderful place to visit, the architecture and history are a rare look at craftsmanship from another era still beautifully maintained. They are well-organized and the docents knowledgeable about the family and the house. Questions are encouraged. Be aware there are stairs involved, for those with limited mobility. The garage is now a bookstore gift shop and worth a visit.
