Main Street in Louisville, Ky. is a throw back to another era. It was the commercial wholesale hub of the city once. Cargo and goods from barge and steam shops would be carted and hauled a block or two from the Ohio River and distributed or sold in the city. In the mid 1980’s, this area started saw a revival which continues to this day. Not all of the buildings though have prospered or even survived. In the past 10 years alone, many of these old buildings have been renovated to become museums, offices, lofts and such. In an eight block stretch, I’ve been amazed at the changes.
Cast iron columns and embellishments
Yes boys and girls, those are red penguins on that building..
This is me taking a shot of the parabolic mirror in front o the Louisville Natural History Museum
This is the home of the Louisville Slugger baseball bat (factory and offices of Hillerich & Bradsby Co)
I did mention that Louisville was on the Ohio River at some point...
