I'm giving this excellent thread a well deserved bump, and also adding a few photos from my Green Gables visit.
Green Gables is located in Woodside CA, south of San Francisco. The home is still owned by decendents of the original owners, and the upstairs remains a private residence. The ground floor and grounds are used for private events, like the one I attended. The home is beautiful, but lacks the extensive wood work found at the Gamble House. The grounds were spectacular.
A small sun-room did have beautiful woodwork, and a book was left open to a page featuring the room.

View from the far end of the property, looking up toward the house in the distance:

Reverse angle view, halfway up the hill toward the house. Previous photo was taken from structure at the end of the pond.

Transition from the lower "informal" gardens (with unusual jagged stone work), to the more formal brink work close to the house.
