Abraham Louis House

Abraham “Abe” Louis commissioned Airhart M. Fry to build this beautiful home in 1908. Airhart Fry’s signature can be seen in the south living room wall above the fireplace and under turquoise paint. Abe worked in sales for Atlas Underwear and opened their New York office in the Empire State Building. The home features beautiful beveled leaded glass windows, plate glass windows and the downstairs hallway chandelier is from the home at 500 N Wayne St that was built in 1847. There is an upstairs enclosed back porch that Abe added later to help with his wife’s failing health.
