About Us

The Peterson-Dumesnil House Foundation strives to preserve the Peterson-Dumesnil House as a landmark, providing the neighborhood a sense of historic identity; to serve as a gathering place for Crescent Hill; to find economically viable uses for the house; and to maintain it for future generations. Formed in 1982, the Foundation is a nonprofit organization managed by a volunteer board of directors.  The 150-year old home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a local landmark by the Metro Landmarks Commission.
