The Gamble House

The Gamble House is a landmark 1909 Arts and Crafts home in Pasadena, open for guided tours and widely considered one of the finest examples of the style in the United States.

Accessible routes are available to areas of interest. Note that the front entrance requires stairs, and a staff-operated manual wheelchair lift provides limited first-floor access — electric wheelchairs cannot be accommodated. The second floor and attic are only reachable by stairs. Contact the museum in advance to discuss your specific needs.

Typed tour scripts with descriptions are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, and Italian. Large-print and Braille materials are available, as are tactile objects for blind or low-vision visitors. Typed tour scripts in multiple languages are available on request.

A sensory touring kit with tactile objects and visual aids can be assembled with advance notice — contact the Tour and Education Manager at [email protected]. Certified service animals are welcome.

Multiple visitors note the interior is kept dimly lit to match the original 1908 lighting — some areas, especially the entrance and stairs, are described as quite dark. The stair lift cannot be used in wet/rainy weather; visitors with mobility needs should confirm conditions before visiting. Restrooms are in the basement (down one flight of stairs from the first floor) — no accessible restroom noted.
