| | Hewn and Hammered: Gamble House Lantern - sold! |
| | The "gentleman" that located the original that was stolen from the house many years ago was given the reproduction as a thank you, at a public ceremony no less, for allowing the Gamble House to purchase from him the original lantern that he located and purchased on E-bay. | | | I do not know where you received the infromation stating that the Gamble House profited in any way from the sale of this lantern but it is completly false. | | | So basically the owner profited twice: he bought stolen property (something that people are often punished for!), which was then bought back from him at the Gamble House's expense; and then he sold off the lantern that was given to him and profited from that as well. |

Gamble of the Procter and Gamble company. | | | Although the house is not as spatially adventurous as the contemporary works of Frank Lloyd Wright or even of the earlier New England "Shingle Style," its mood is casual and its symmetries tend to be localized - i.e. |
