Dr. and Mrs. Frederick Lowe residence

Dr. and Mrs. Frederick Lowe residence
711 Fourth Street, Niagara Falls, New York

711 Fourth Street Niagara Falls New York

This project is located in the historic Park Place district of Niagara Falls, New York. The home was custom-designed in 1949 and built in 1952 for Dr and Mrs Frederick Lowe by the United States Veteran's Administration.

The home consists of a first-floor office with consultation rooms and reception area, currently occupied as a separate apartment. The main residence is on the second floor. The home exterior gives away nothing to the spectacular, airy, bright and open interior living space. This house is truly a forward-looking home in many respects.

This is a chronicle of the purchase, restoration and renovation of my new home. Older posts are my "Pyrexmaniac" posts about my current apartment residence in Niagara Falls, NY.

General contractor for restoration work is Sean Mort of Integrated, Niagara Falls, NY.

I hope you find interest in this as I have found in homes of the Mid Century Modern period, 1930-1970.

I would appreciate any comments you might have.

Thanks A Million!

The kitchen ceiling

Larry and I had dinner at Billy Reed's tonight.......as we were drinking in the atmosphere of this old-style Palm Springs dinner house (think mid-seventies faux victorian......ferns and fake gaslights and lots of golden oak) I noticed the ceiling........knotty pine planks with an edge bevel mounted end-to-end.  It's the kitchen celing!  The wood at the restaurant had been varnished to a high gloss and a deep golden amber color.  It made for a very warm and cozy atmosphere, even though the combination of oak and pine made for a "wood overload."  I can see the wood in the kitchen making for a warmer, homey atmosphere.
