Newcomb House (Pasadena, California)

The Newcomb House, located in Pasadena, California, is a historic residence designed by architects Charles and Henry Greene of Greene and Greene. Completed in 1907, it is considered a significant example of the American Craftsman style and the firm's distinctive "ultimate bungalow" aesthetic.

The house was commissioned by Alice M. Millard, though it is often referred to as the Newcomb House due to its later ownership by Caroline Newcomb. The design incorporates characteristic Greene and Greene features such as exposed structural elements, intricate woodwork, stained glass, and sleeping porches. Its low-slung profile and use of natural materials blend the building seamlessly into its surrounding landscape. The interior features a flowing floor plan and custom-designed furnishings, many of which were also created by Greene and Greene.

The Newcomb House has been meticulously preserved and is a private residence. While not generally open to the public, its architectural significance has made it a frequent subject of study and admiration for those interested in Craftsman architecture and the work of Greene and Greene.
