This 1902-1915 James A. Culbertson House, designed by Greene & Greene during the Arts & Crafts timeline, is a treasure of Pasadena. An inexperienced epoxy encapsulation treatment, to the original giant redwood beams of the Carriage House in the late 1980s, actually promoted, rather than stopped, the serious dry rot. The City has a building ordinance that forbids any replacement of wood on Greene & Greene architecture, inside the City. I read somewhere, that in 1910, one of the brothers had exclaimed, “There was no more quality wood, left in the country.”
