In October 2000, Gayle and Herbert Warren purchased the DuPont Mansion property. After renovation, the Warrens opened the mansion as a bed and breakfast in the spring of 2001. The DuPont Mansion was the site of the 2001 Bellarmine University Women's Council Designer's Show House. Fourteen well-known Louisville designers lovingly decorated and furnished the DuPont Mansion. The following year, the Louisville Historic Preservation League awarded the prestigious 2002 Historic Preservation award to owners Gayle and Herb for the DuPont Mansion restoration. Gayle is an active community leader and former president of The Leadership Louisville Foundation. Herb is a Realtor and a "recovering lawyer". Both are entrepreneurs and are active in the remodeling older area houses. |
