"Charles and Henry Greene created a distinct style that was all their own. While it is clearly a part of the American Arts and Crafts movement, their imagery set it apart from the general movement and from the so-called 'bungalow style.' Their designs transcended the eclecticism of the past and emphasized the appropriateness of designs evolving directly from the site, rendered by a highly refined set of proportional relationships and a level of detail and craftsmanship that remains unsurpassed."
