“Culminating twenty years of new research on California’s most famous architects of the Craftsman style. This comprehensive overview of the architectural careers of Charles and Henry Greene culminates twenty years of new research by Randell Makinson, the foremost authority on their works… Their projects here are organized into recognizable periods and styles, beginning in 1894 in Pasadena, rising to their masterworks created from 1907 to 1909, and culminating in their separate but cooperative careers in the teens, with Charles practicing in Carmel and Henry remaining in Pasadena.” (Publishers).
