3rd Annual Ladue News Show House Unveiled

The event of the season runs Oct. 5 through 20, and features the work of local designers to benefit four area charities

St. Louis, MO-–The wraps will come off the much-anticipated third annual Ladue News Show House on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 10 a.m. when it officially opens to the public.  Located at #23 Lenox Place in the Central West End, the 2013 Show House is a stately 6,519-square-foot, 3-story, historic brick manse built in 1904 and designed to rival fine English estates.

Promising to be the best yet, the 2013 Ladue News Show House features rooms by 11 of St. Louis’ top designers, each of whom have worked their magic to create a home relevant to a modern family, while preserving the features that make this home so special and historically important. Show House visitors will walk away inspired by the past, but also find plenty of fresh design ideas befitting a stylish, modern lifestyle. Among the many areas of interest in the 13-room home are the grand hall with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and stunning millwork, and a formal dining room envisioned as a place for entertaining an elite crowd, which this home has done in fine style for more than a century.  The home also features a carriage house, beautiful gardens, patio and deck.

Volunteers from these organizations will be working on site during the weeks the home is open to the public.
