About Us

Dupont Mansion, circa 1879, is a rare decorative Italianate mansion with ornate carved Italian marble fireplaces, hardwood floors, plaster moldings, 14-foot ceilings, and 10-foot doors and windows. Antique furnishings, a banquet style dining room, crystal chandeliers and formal gardens add to the mansion’s ambiance.

The spacious rooms, common areas and courtesy kitchen make the DuPont Mansion the perfect venue for overnight, weekend or extended stays. Seven guest rooms with private baths and whirlpool tubs are offered. The Mansion features central heat and air conditioning for the comfort of our guests.

The Bed & Breakfast is an elegant setting for special events such as weddings, anniversaries, luncheons, and celebrations. Your out-of-town guests will find the rooms convenient and accommodating during their visit.

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.

Owners Gayle and Herb Warren have tastefully renovated the Bed & Breakfast and created an elegant setting for special events such as weddings, anniversaries, luncheons, and celebrations. Your out-of-town guests will find the rooms convenient and accommodating during their visit.

Gayle is an active community leader and former president of the Leadership Louisville Foundation. Herb is a retired GE attorney. Both are entrepreneurs and are active in restoration efforts.
