Historic
West Main Street
Louisville is home to the second largest collection of Cast Iron Architecture
in the nation. A part of that collection is preserved along the West Main
Historic District. Along with the cast iron are magnificent limestone
and brick structures, most dating back to the post Civil War era.

East Main Street
 A
Quick Tour
East Main Street has suffered greatly from
redevelopment. Unlike West Main, the remaining buildings are scattered
more widely and renovation is far slower in coming. The pictures presented
here are from our archives. They represent a very small portion and not
necessarily the best of the architecture that remains. As time permits,
additional photographs will be added. As always, photographs cannot do
justice to these magnificent structures. Please, come see them for yourself.

Old Louisville
 A
Quick Tour
Old Louisville is one of the
largest and most impressive historic districts in the nation. All that
can be done here is give you a flavor for the area. There is nothing like
seeing it in person.
 St
James Court

 Ormsby
from Fourth to Sixth
These short two blocks contain single and multi-family residences,
mansions and a hotel. It is a very interesting area to visit. If you happen
to be there at lunch or dinner time, stop in Buck's in the Mayflower Hotel.

Walking Courts
Floral
Terrace
Floral Terrace is an interesting one block long walking court containing
21 houses. The houses were built between 1904 and 1910 and are representative
of middle class living. The renovation of this court began in earnest
about 1995 with the installation of street lights, a brick sidewalk, a
fountain and the iron gates at each end.
