If these walls could talk. 1807 Dupont's walls might tell you a story of T.P. Healy doing a post-construction walkthrough with the Lowry family after the home was built in 1902. They might have hosted a neighborhood meeting in 1922 to gather support to build the Thomas Lowry 'Seven Pools' Park. The grand staircase might have been the site of Senior Prom photos from the last graduating class of West High in the 1980s. But the most recent story of this terrific Lowry Hill residence, the restoration back to a single family home, might be its finest. The large front porch is just waiting for summer evenings. Stepping into the foyer, you'll want to take a moment to take in all the splendid detail of the public entertaining rooms: incredible wood wainscoting, coffered ceiling, stained glass light fixtures.
