The Lowenstein House is a historic house in Memphis, Tennessee, U.S. It was built circa 1890 for Elias Lowenstein, a German-born merchant.[2] During World War I, it was used as a boarding house for women who worked.[2] In the first half of the 1920s, Lowenstein's daughter, Celia Lowenstein Samelson, donated the house to The Nineteenth Century Club.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 23, 1979.[3]
