The "Fairmount" Tour See Directions at bottom of the page
Built in 2003, Fairmount and its grounds are one of the Triangle's most remarkable residences. The project was commissioned by owner Joe Rowand and designed by architect Phil Szostak FAIA. Joe Rowand is the owner of Somerhill Gallery in downtown Durham, one of the most prominent and enduring art galleries in the Southeast. Abstract and representational artwork in all visual disciplines is on display in the gallery's 9,600 square feet, also designed by Szostak - who will be onhand at the tour to answer your questions. Joe's beautiful home, naturally, is a reflection of his gallery, with volumes of exceptional paintings, sculpture, fine art glass, and other works by nationally recognized artists and craftspeople. It was built by Chuck Lewis Construction. Landscape design by Dick Bell. 5000 sf on 22.5 acres. Photos by Jim Sink.
