Lowenstein House, Historic house at Jefferson Avenue, Memphis, United States
The Lowenstein House combines Queen Anne and Italianate architectural styles, featuring a grand design with distinctive Victorian Romanesque elements at its Memphis location.
Built in 1890 for merchant Elias Lowenstein, the house transformed into a women's boarding facility during World War I before gaining National Register status in 1979.
The residence reflects Memphis Jewish heritage through its first owner, Elias Lowenstein, who led Temple Israel for 15 years and supported city rebuilding after epidemics.
Located at 756 Jefferson Avenue, the property spans 0.3 acres and maintains its structural integrity while adapting to various community needs through different eras.
The building transitions from a family mansion to a women's residence, then mental health center, and now plans proceed for its conversion into a hotel.
