Victorian Splendor in Louisville
By Linda Tancs
Just south of downtown, Old Louisville in Kentucky is known for having the largest contiguous collection of Victorian-era mansions in the United States. One of its gems is the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum, a castle-like house that symbolizes the spirit and Victorian grandeur of Louisville’s Progressive Era. Constructed in 1895 by Louisville architect Arthur Loomis, the castle’s Richardsonian-Romanesque architectural style is one of the best representations in the city. You can explore the house on either a docent-led or self-guided tour.
