The Greene brothers are best known for the "Bungalow Style" which they created in Pasadena, California. This work was charac- terized by heavy beams, projecting rafters, shingled or gabbled roofs, shingled or board and batten sidings, and a respect for oriental architec- ture, which was evident in most of the detail work. Charles Sumner Greene's work on the Monterey Peninsula takes on many of the above characteristics, yet, the work that he did here is some of his most unique and self-expressive, specifically, his own house and studio, the Daniel James house, and the Langley Howard house and studio. Charles SumnerGreene and Henry Mather Greene workedas partners in Pasadena, but only Charles came to live and work on the Monterey Penin- suk Charles only planned to stay on the Peninsula for about three years and then he was going to do some workin the San Francisco area. He went against this idea when he saw how commercial building was developing. Four years after Charles came to the Peninsula, he built a house and studio for his family and himself. Presently. these two buildings exist as one structure, and are located on Lincoln Avenue in Carmel. The house was first constructed in a U-shape form and was built in the board and batten stvle. It had a sloped shedroof. The studio was separate and apart fromthe house. About three years before Charles built the studio, he bought some used bricks from a building which had recently been demolished in Pacific Grove. He builthis studio and the chimney to his house from the used brick. Charles was supposedly the first architect to test the possibilities of work- ing with used bricks. These buildings were of a very simple style but the interior of the house contained a tremendous amount of detail. This detail could be s-ken throughout the house on such places as ceiling beams, doors, window ledges. and any other areas where Charles felt like carving. These carvings showed outstanding craftsmanship. They were all very detailed and decorative.
