Historical Homes
The historic home, designed by architects Adolph Cudell and Arthur Hercz and completed in 1896, was built for Francis Dewes, a Prussian immigrant who made his fortune as a brewer. A six-year effort by the Botti Studio restored the original stained-glass windows, painted panels and ceilings, and tiled-mosaic floors to their original splendor.
The seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom, 12,000-square foot home also now features such modern amenities as a game room, a media room, and a wine cellar. Other amenities include eight fireplaces, a 1,200-square foot master bedroom, a finished basement, and a chef’s kitchen.
