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!

New pics of various things.......

This is a relatively recent pic of the living room.  I'm still moving things around and I just purchased a vintage sofa to replace the black banquette.  I still have not found the right storage option for my books yet.  I've been getting some inspiration for some wallpaper lately, too.  The living room wall with the windows would be awesome for a trompe l'oeil of a forest.  I like the birch tree wallpaper sold on Anthropologie but it would be cheaper to print dollar bills than buy the wallpaper at full retail.  YIKES!
