This is the life-story of the brothers, Charles and Henry Greene, and their architectural firm that began in 1894 in California. In 1907, these brothers applied all of their prior lessons to design and construct an bungalow for Robert Blacker.. This is a tribute to the brothers' belief in Arts and Craft philosophy.
I want to thank USC and Greene and Greene Virtual Archives for permission to share their photos
