We took my dad down to Malibu for lunch at Neptune's Net. It was sunnier than it looks in this picture. Malibu is one of my favorite places. 21 miles of Pacific coastline PLUS lots of horses, an equestrian park, stables, and horse trails through the Santa Monica Mountains.
On the way home we checked out The Gamble House in Pasadena. It was designed in 1908 by architects Greene & Greene. It was commissioned by David and Mary Gamble, of the Procter and Gamble Company, as a retirement residence. I love this Arts & Crafts style masterpiece.

We also went by Frank Lloyd Wright's Millard House, also known as La Miniatura. It is a few doors down from a friend's house in Pasadena and it is also for sale....$7,733,000! Not my taste, but internationally recognized as one of the world’s most important works of architecture.

I probably only will do a schooling show.
I have read articles about the gamble how...nice to see your pictures. Sounds like a great day with your dad!
I love the Arts and Crafts style too, although I like it more in a cottage type size - that house is truly mammoth! Thanks for the pics - nice you were able to get out with your dad.
Thanks for stopping by, good to hear from you. I'll have to check out your jewelry! What a memorable time spent with your dad, who you resemble I might add...you both look very tall! I'm only 5'2" but my brother is 6'2", go figure! We don't have many of the arts and crafts styled homes here but I do like them.
Sounds like a fun day. Personally don't care for those styles of houses, like the more traditional New England style. And the adobe southwest style too, go figure.
