Pasadena will soon celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Gamble House.
The house, which was donated to the city of Pasadena and the University of Southern California by the Gamble family, represents one of the best examples of American architecture. The house was designed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1908 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978.
On Jan. 14, 1966, the home was donated by the Gamble family. Nine months later, it was open to the public as a museum.
Museum officials said a series of anniversary events will be held in September 2016 including fundraising events, an Alumni Day Open House for former Gamble House Scholars in Residence and the USC School of Architecture, and a 50th anniversary public celebration on Sept. 25, with self-paced tours and family-friendly activities and entertainment.
