"The architectural firm of Greene and Greene (1893-1922) created an architectural form that has become indigenous to the southern half of California; theirs is not an anonymous art. Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene were an integral part of their creative time and place, and although part of a continuum and indebted to other influencers, 'Greene and Greene' evokes a unique image. This image has, in turn, exerted considerable influence upon the architects and subsequent years, not solely in southern California, and encouraged a 'Greene and Greene' mythology. The contents of this guide set forth what they did, what they said, and how they were regarded by some of their contemporaries. This is an invitation to a firsthand interpretation." - dust jacket description.
