Green Gables is a 1950s subdivision located in Palo Alto, California, United States. The subdivision was developed by Joseph Eichler, whose company built its first 63 homes in 1950. 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.
