The Greene & Greene Virtual Archives (GGVA) contains images of drawings, sketches, photographs, correspondence, and other
historical documents related to the work of the architects Greene & Greene, the southern California design firm (active 1894-1922)
that is often associated with the finest architecture and craftsmanship of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Recent photographic
documentation of the firm's furniture and other decorative arts is also presented as part of the GGVA. A key characteristic
of this project is the searchable image database which provides digital representations and text information for public study.
While the web site presents a generous selection of Greene & Greene material that indicate the depth and breadth of the four
collections, it is not comprehensive, and does not include a digital image of every item held by or housed at each repository.
Each institution was responsible for its own processing and cataloging of images, therefore image reproduction quality and
data accuracy will vary. Please see each institution's finding aid for further details.
The GGVA is made possible by a generous grant from the J. Paul Getty Trust under the Electronic Cataloguing Initiative of
the Getty Grant Program. With the objective of creating a single visual resource for Greene & Greene researchers, homeowners,
students, and the general public, the GGVA brings together selected material from the four major Greene & Greene collections:
the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University in the City of New York; the Environmental Design Archives
at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB); The Gamble House, University of Southern California (USC), in Pasadena, California;
and the Greene & Greene Archives, USC at The Huntington Library Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California.
Because of the geographical separation of these repositories, they agreed that it would be of significant benefit to researchers,
homeowners, students, and others interested in the work of Greene & Greene to have access to a multi-repository selection
of work as digital images presented on the Internet.
Approximately 4000 of the most important and frequently requested materials from the four collaborating repositories are available
for viewing at the GGVA website. Standards developed and refined by the California Digital Library have been used for cataloging
and presentation. All images are accompanied with descriptive information. In a spirit of providing comprehensive universal
access to the world's primary cultural and historical resources, the GGVA facilitates access and use by making a large portion
of the collections available on the Internet. The website is both a portal to the work of the architects Greene & Greene and
a resource for information about them. The collaborating institutions have created content to this end by providing:
- * Information about the architects' design projects selected for the GGVA
- * Reference material, such as a bibliography and a list of links to significant websites
- * A searchable image database of both personal papers and project records
- * Links to the finding aids of each repository's Greene & Greene collection

Charles Sumner and Henry Mather Greene Biography
Charles Sumner Greene was born on October 12, 1868, to Lelia Ariana Mather Greene and Thomas Sumner Greene in Cincinnati,
Ohio. Fifteen months later, on January 23, 1870, Henry Mather Greene was born. The family later moved to St. Louis where,
as teenagers, Charles and Henry attended Calvin Woodward's Manual Training School of Washington University, which offered
a revolutionary curriculum based on the education of the hand as well as the mind. This early training was the primary source
of the brothers' focus on tools, materials, and craftsmanship. In 1888, the brothers enrolled in the architectural program
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston. In 1891, both brothers completed their studies with Certificates of
Partial Course, the two-year program followed by most MIT architecture students. They then apprenticed with several of the
finest architectural firms in Boston, including those whose principals had been associates of the noted Henry Hobson Richardson.
In 1893, the Greene brothers traveled west to Pasadena to visit their parents, who had moved from St. Louis the previous year,
and in the fall of 1894, they opened their architectural practice.
Henry Mather Greene married Emeline Augusta Dart in 1899, and in 1901, Charles wed Alice Gordon White. Charles and Alice's
four-month honeymoon in England, Scotland and Europe sparked Charles' interest in the English Arts and Crafts Movement.
Activity in the Greene & Greene office was at its peak during the years 1902-1910, with primary focus on residential design.
It was during this period that they created some of their finest work. By 1903, Greene & Greene began to offer integrated
design services for their clients, providing design and construction supervision of furniture and other interior appointments.
They completed approximately 150 projects during these prolific years.
After 1911 the practice began to decline because Greene & Greene designs demanded higher fees and clients experienced frequent
schedule overruns. The situation became unacceptable to most clients and by 1916, the brothers personal interests diverged.
Charles moved to Carmel, California to pursue other creative paths, while Henry continued the firm's work in Pasadena until
the dissolution of the firm in 1922. Henry practiced independently after the separation and Charles, too, worked on occasional
commissions into the 1940s, most being additions and renovations for former clients.
The death of Henry's wife in 1935 affected him deeply, and he had little work after that. He reunited with Charles, however,
on a few commissions. Charles managed to remain more active in architecture during the Depression of the 1930s, but his interests
soon shifted to passionate study of Eastern philosophy, spiritualism and creative writing. Henry died October 2, 1954, in
Pasadena, California and Charles died on June 11, 1957 in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
Charles and Henry Greene are widely considered to have brought high-art aesthetics and exquisite craftsmanship to the American
Arts and Crafts Movement in the early part of the 20th century. Their work continues to be exhibited worldwide and is included
in decorative arts collections in museums in the United States and throughout Europe. Greene & Greene designs strongly influenced
California's architectural heritage. Their work has had international significance as well, inspiring countless architects
and designers around the world through a legacy of extant structures, scholarly books and articles. They were recognized
by the American Institute of Architects in 1952 for contributing to a "new and native architecture" and are generally credited
with fostering a new way of considering buildings and their furnishings as examples of artistic craft.
Popular architecture and design magazines such as
The Craftsman, House Beautiful, The International Studio, Country Life in America, House and Garden, Good Housekeeping, and
American Home and Garden began featuring articles on Greene & Greene work in 1902, this acclaim helped spread the their designs throughout the country.
The rediscovery of their work by the architectural press in the 1950s created a new group of admirers who celebrated their
distinctly American interpretation of the Arts and Crafts style as an antidote to the International style, which had gained
popularity in Europe and elsewhere.
Today, the current generation of Greene & Greene aficionados tour the Greene & Greene residences and other buildings in California
with reverence, like pilgrims paying homage to honored monuments. The Gamble House, one of their masterpieces, receives 30,000
visitors a year from all over the world. Recently available public tours of the Thorsen and Blacker houses drew thousands
of visitors and raised awareness of both Greene & Greene residential architecture and furniture design. Interior, architectural
design, and architectural history journals such as
Style 1900 and
American Bungalow are now full of vendors offering reproductions of their furniture and other decorative arts.
The Greene & Greene Virtual Archives (GGVA) contains digital images of drawings, sketches, photographs, correspondence, and
other historical documents related to the lives and work of the architects Charles Sumner and Henry Mather Greene, founders
of the southern California design firm Greene & Greene (active 1894-1922) that is often associated with the finest architecture
and craftsmanship of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Recent photographic documentation of the firm's furniture and
other decorative arts is presented as part of the GGVA.
The GGVA is organized into three series: Personal Papers, Office Records and Project Records. Series I: Personal Papers includes
correspondence with family and friends, art work, certificates, awards and documentation of creative interests including Charles
Greene's fictional writing, poetry and essays. It covers the years 1885-1957. Series II: Office Records contains professional
correspondence with colleagues in the field and related professions, Greene & Greene office photographs, business correspondence,
time sheets and other documents that reflect the daily business of the Greene & Greene firm. It covers the years 1904-1942.
Series III: Project Records is the largest part of the Greene & Greene Virtual Archives and contains drawings (both of buildings
and furniture), specifications, sketches, photographs and correspondence between the Greenes, clients, vendors and craftspeople.
It also contains a selection of documentation of Greene & Greene furniture and decorative art work. It covers the years 1894-1947.
