Greene and designed by the Pasadena firm Greene and Greene.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is the only Greene and Greene work in Sacramento and a rare Northern California example of the firm's work. It also shows how a modestly scaled house ($9,000) could carry the elegance and integrated detailing of the brothers' larger, costlier residences. Its strong oriental influence, linear \"cloud lift\" design theme, and integration with its landscaped setting facing McKinley Park are also cited.","narrative":"Built in 1915 at 3200 H Street in Sacramento, this redwood-shingled house was designed by the Pasadena architectural firm Greene and Greene for attorney and land developer John T. Greene. It has two stories with one-story wings whose flat roofs serve as balconied decks, and it sits on a raised, terraced site facing McKinley Park. Rounded beam ends, wood joinery, shoji screens, and a repeated \"cloud lift\" motif give it a pronounced oriental character, which Mrs. Greene requested. Inside, the living room fireplace is faced with Batchelder terra cotta tile. The house cost $9,000, far less than larger Greene and Greene commissions, and is the only work by the firm in Sacramento. It was listed because it shows the brothers' Craftsman principles, including natural materials, careful detailing, and the blending of indoor and outdoor space, at a modest scale. The exterior is largely unaltered, though painted dark grey.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1915)","architect_builder":"Greene and Greene","architectural_style":"Craftsman","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; condition listed as excellent and altered, with the exterior essentially unaltered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.459236-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/82002231.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002231/f3cf7002c8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002231/f3cf7002c8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Earl Paden","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_T-_Greene_House_2012-09-23_12-24-16.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Earl Paden</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_T-_Greene_House_2012-09-23_12-24-16.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100003036","name":"McKinley Park","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/california/mckinley-park-100003036/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123860596","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_T._Greene_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126009544"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/sacramento-county/greene-john-t-house-82002231/"}
