Francis J. Dewes House, part 2, the grand entertaining spaces

[@ddubov]

My grandfather was the chauffeur there in the 1920s. Nice to see inside!

that entry way is absolutely beautiful

The building was home to The Swedish Engineers Society of Chicago from, I believe, the early 20s to the early 50;s.. The lower level (basement) had a bar, lounge area, and slot machines. The third floor had a mirrored ballroom, lounge and a bar. After the building was sold, members continued to meet at various restaurants well into the 1980's. I have many fond memories of the time spent there.

[@heaterpie1694]

I too fell hard for the first time in my life for a piece of property yesterday when I discovered the Dewes mansion on a walk. There is a twin designed house next to it.

The library... they did not read much, did they? :)

[@Loganersatz]

Elena Uvarova books were more expensive at the time lol

[@AMConcepcion]

"The kitchen flows into a [lakewater?] area?" I can't make out what he said. Between the kitchen and the dining room there's another little kitchen, it appears, before you get to the dining room. What is that?

[@margaretnerger5630]

Wet bar area.

[@daleeiermann5530]

What is that noise in the background? If that is what is to be expected I don't think I will be giving a bid on it.

[@YoChicago]

I don't the the noise is what's to be expected - and I strongly suspect you won't be placing a bid nonetheless.

[@sharonmohon3275]

The library is stunning, however the living area is soooo over done it borders on laughter...Liberace would love it.

[@FunnyJayMan]

Looks like a nice place where ghosts lives...

[@texgal3990]

100 % pure opulence

[@smoovechi1]

BEAUTIFUL design but it's too "house on hunted hill". I would definitely come in and paint with bright and earthy colors. The kitchen is ugly.
