Architect. He was an American architect during the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century. Working with his fifteen-month-older brother, Charles, they started in 1894 their Greene and Greene architectural firm, which designed what came to be known as "ultimate bungalows," the most famous of these being the Gamble House in Pasadena. They designed at least a hundred houses, but also the furniture, light fixtures, carpets, picture frames, linens, drapes and silverware. With generous building budgets, their designs were much sought after from 1904 to 1911. In 1916 his brother Charles relocated to Carmel. Following a decline in their business after 1914 and the brothers residing in different cities, the firm of Greene & Greene was officially dissolved in 1922, but each continued separately their careers. Born in a suburb of Cincinnati, the brothers lived on a farm in West Virginia as children. The family relocated to St. Louis, Missouri, where they attended Manual Training School of Washington University, studying metal and woodworking and graduating in 1887. Since the course was not complete, they received in 1891 a "certificate for completion of partial course" of a special two-year program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's School of Architecture. They studied classical building styles, intending at that time only to gain certification for apprenticeships with architecture and construction firms upon graduation. Afterwards, they worked as apprentices to several well-respected architects. Relocating to California, they became impressed with the Japanese architecture, which would have a strong influence on their later designs. They designed only a few commercial buildings and only one has survived to the 21st century. Henry Greene reportedly created the design for his own headstone. With a full chapter, the Greene brothers are included in the 1960 publication "Five California Architects" by Esther McCoy. In 1952, the brothers were honored by the American Institute of Architects, and their work was included in a centennial exhibition of the American Institute of Architects at the National Gallery of Art.
