Review:
Old Louisville is a historic district located north of the University of Louisville and south of Broadway and downtown Louisville.
Consisting of 48 city blocks, it is the third largest historic district in the U.S. It is the nation’s largest district that consists almost exclusively of Victorian architecture, and it has the largest concentration of houses with stained glass windows.
Most of the buildings are made of brick and were built in several styles that were popular during the Victorian period, including Italianate, Queen Anne, and Romanesque. Although it is called Old Louisville, this area was actually built in the 1870s as a suburb of Louisville nearly 100 years after the founding of the city.
