Howard Longley House - National Register of Historic Places

Statement of Significance: This house is historically Important because it is the earliest surviving example of the architecture of Greene and Greene in California, The Greenes, who pioneered early modern architecture in California, were almost exact contemporaries of Frank Lloyd Wright, They were among the six "most distinguished architects to immigrate to California in two centuries," They, with Ernest A, Coxhead, Willis Polk, Bernard Maybeck, and Irving A, Gill, arrived between 1886 and 1893, ’ The Longley House shows the Eastern seaboard style of the Greenes while the Garfield House (next door, also designed by the Greenes) shows the Craftsman style of California, The Longley House is one of the earliest surviving examples of the Greenes' use of the oriental theme, which they were to develop more fully in the Gamble House, It is also important because it is an example of eclecticism, which predominates in the architects' early work. The fact that it is next door to the 1904.Garfield House (California Bungalow styled) gives close at hand a comparison of their early and later periods. This increases the importance of recognizing and preserving these two houses, (The Garfield House was placed on the National Register on April 24, 1973,) In the Pasadena area "the Greenes progressed from conventional renderings of eastern colonial form to a highly personalized statement that gave its only distinction to them, California Bungalow"* (first seen in the Bandini House - 1903),
