Help Fund the Porch Repairs during Give for Good Louisville
The stunning front porch of the Peterson Dumesnil House is one of its most iconic and distinctive features. It's also one of the most utilized... and after 100+ years of welcomed usage by the community, the porch is in need of masonry repair work that will cost upwards of $18,000.
It's hard to imagine the Peterson Dumesnil House without its iconic front porch. For over a century, the front porch has served as the heart of the House and a gathering place for the community. Numerous wedding receptions, neighborhood events, celebrations of life, photo shoots, meetings, chili suppers, art classes, and more have been held on the porch.
This year, gifts made to the PD House Foundation during #GiveforGoodLou will go towards the repair and preservation of the front porch, including masonry work on the Bedford Stone foundation and mortar joints, columns and capstones.
The Peterson-Dumesnil House Foundation works to preserve the Peterson-Dumesnil House - a nationally registered historic home, a Louisville landmark, and so much more. The House provides the Crescent Hill neighborhood with a sense of historic identity and has served as a gathering place for various functions and events for generations. Appreciated almost like a community park, the estate is used daily by neighbors enjoying the grounds to walk their dog, host an art class, watch birds, or throw catch with their children. The House is a cherished part of Louisville's history and has been the backdrop of countless memories for families and friends over the years. We need your help to ensure critical upkeep of this beloved home continues so the House is preserved for future generations to enjoy! 100% of your donations go to maintaining the 155-year-old House and grounds, which require year-round care and costly updates. The 2024 Give For Good Campaign proceeds will also allow the Foundation to continue hosting free, community building events like outdoor concerts, historic talks, and tours.
