Name Thomas Sumner Greene Birth 19 Sep 1842 Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH Gender Male Color 1 Death 10 Jan 1931 Carmel, Monterey Co., CA Notes - Thomas and Lelia's sons were famous architects:
"The brothers who were to win renown as the architectural firm of Greene and Greene, were born in Brighton, Ohio -- Charles in 1868, Henry in 1870.... Refined and exceptionally well-crafted, their creations became known as "the ultimate bungalows." A classic Greene and Greene house is "a seamless fusion of simplicity and sophisticated detail with meticulous attention to building materials and natural surroundings," write Smith and Vertikoff. "...a survey of the brothers’ 25 finest buildings, the Pasadena area "provided a perfect mixture of eastern erudition and a freedom from social and class restraints that allowed the Greenes to take their architecture in directions inconceivable in the traditional East. California also provided them with clients who could afford the workmanship and artistry of their designs." Albert Greenstein, 1999
Thomas and Lelia are bured in the El Encinal Cemetery in Monterey.
