Francis J. Dewes House, part 2, the grand entertaining spaces
Loading...
Uploaded by YoChicago1 on Nov 12, 2010
Earlier today I spent an hour walking through and marveling at the Francis J. Dewes House in Lincoln Park.
The home was one of the most lavishly detailed and decorated homes in Chicago when it was built in the 1890s, and remains in that category today. It's a Chicago landmark, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The home has undergone a 6-year restoration and renovation, and is expected to be on the market soon, priced at $9.9 million.
Many thanks to Koenig & Strey's Mary Bennett for arranging access to the home for me.
In this part of my tour I walk through the public spaces of the home, one of the many highlights of which is a spectacular staircase with a stained-glass window wall at the landing level.

Too understated

Oh my God, this house is seriously taken straight out of my dreams (catholic elements aside)... from the type of decorations to the sequence of the rooms. And that Staircase!! Exactly what I have been dreaming of for years.
This is probably the first time in my life I ever desired to be a multi-millionaire (or possibly more), to invest in an impractical but gorgeously and delightfully historical house that requires an unreasonable number of domestics and maintenance.
