Green Gables is a 1950s subdivision located in Palo Alto, California, United States.[2] The subdivision was developed by Joseph Eichler, whose company built its first 63 homes in 1950.[3] Eichler hired the architecture firm Anshen & Allen to design the one-story modernist houses. The houses in Green Gables represent Eichler's efforts to apply modernist principles to affordable single-family houses, which was considered a bold development strategy at the time. Contemporary critics acclaimed Eichler's work on Green Gables; Architectural Forum awarded it "Subdivision of the Year" in 1950 along with four of Eichler's other developments, and House Beautiful devoted a feature to the subdivision.[4]
The subdivision was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 2005.[1]
