Lowry Gardens History Facts:

The walls are six-inch stud construction.
The roof tiles were original and could be matched with tiles made by the original manufacturer.
Originally built in 1909-1913 by the Thompson lumber family and served as a single-family home for 30 years.
The Nyvaldh family, who were in the construction business, bought the home in the 40s. The basement was then inhabited by seven nurses, the first floor was used as an office, the second floor held two other families while two other families took the third floor.
In 1962 the Albitzs family moved in. They were in the design business. For the next 30 years, the home served as an office, family residence, and a display for the work the company did.
Finally, architect Robert G. Furno bought the home in 1993. Under the mansion ordinance, he converted this mansion into 3 units. Each unit was carefully considered to keep the old world craftsmanship mixed with new technology for all future owners.
