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!

laundry room progress


The laundry room was a second bathroom with a stall shower, small vanity and toilet.  The wallpaper was original as was the black rubber tile floor.  The shower was porcelain tile set in concrete set in a steel mesh with a lead drainpan.  The new laundry room will reuse an old kitchen cabinet.  Floor is white porcelain tile....matching the bathroom floor.
