Gam- ble by architects Henry Mather Greene and Charles Sumner Greene. …Wouldn’t it be something if they built a house like that in Maine? On our side of the Continental Divide, the near replica is in Camden, set high on 23 acres of Mt. Battie with soaring views of Penobscot Bay. The land was bought in 2007 by Joseph D. “Dyke” Messler, Jr., the great-grandson of the founding Gambles who built the Pasadena house. By 2012, Messler’s “homage” was complete. List- ed for $9.7M, this sentimental journey has been featured by The Wall Street Journal: “Mr. Messler, 67, says he was inspired by his family’s history.” The Gambles didn’t become famous for being shy. They know their branding. They brought us Crest toothpaste, Bounty paper towels, Head & Shoulders, Pampers, Febreze, Dawn, Tide, and on and on. We always think of Bob Kraft of Gillette as owning the New England Patriots, Gillette Stadium and all. Procter & Gamble owns Gillette. So Dyke Messler is candid when he tells us the feeling he gets when he pulls up to 135 Mountain Arrow Drive. “The views of Penobscot Bay through the old-growth white pines are staggering– from the Rockland Breakwater [to] Owls Head Light, Matinicus, and the Havens. The early morning and late afternoon light are especially captivating, lighting the trees and the garden in an ethereal way.” This striking location lured him because Camden's affectionate copy of the Gamble House in California is an attraction all its own. 135 Mountain Arrow Drive. The land for the quasi- replica was bought in 2007 by Joseph d. “dyke” Messler,Jr., the great-grandson of the founding Gambles of Procter & Gamble.
