Frances Gabe

Frances Gabe

Frances Gabe is an American artist and inventor perhaps most well-known for designing and building the Self-Cleaning House in Newberg, Oregon. Born in 1915 as Frances Grace Arnholtz, she was a self-proclaimed "unusual" person. It wasn't until after her divorce from Herbert Grant Bateson that she changed her surname to Gabe. The actual self-cleaning house was granted a patent from the U.S. government, along with 25 additional patents for individual inventions unique to the house. Her psychiatrist once remarked, "You're many times over a genius. The world belongs to you, and don't let anyone tell you anything different." [Palahniuk, Chuck. "Fugitives and Refugees". 29-33. 2003, Crown Publishers, New York, New York.]
