HOME ARCHITECTURE
This home is one of the earliest examples of the Tudor revival architecture style in the city of Louisville. Erected in 1896 by realtor W.C. Priest, with a first floor of yellow stone and a second floor of stucco, it was the first home built on Cherokee Parkway. The home sits just one block from Bardstown Road and one block from Willow and Cherokee Parks.
NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION
The Highlands is home to Louisville’s original “Restaurant Row” and is also known for local nightlife and shopping.
The Cherokee Triangle Historic District of the Highlands is a vibrant walkable neighborhood located just a couple miles from the center of downtown Louisville. Adjacent to the dynamic commercial district of Bardstown Road, residents are within walking distance of a diversity of coffee shops, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, boutiques, antique stores, and amenities like the hardware store, grocery and book sellers. Mature trees, some one hundred years old, line the streets, providing shade and beauty.
Historic homes reflecting an eclectic mix of architectural styles dot the preservation district. Styles include Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque, Neoclassical, Tudor Revival, Beaux Arts, and many more. Nearby, Frederick Law Olmsted’s Cherokee Park and Willow Park serve as an urban oasis for bike riding, walking, sledding and picnics.
Begun as an early suburb of Louisville, the Cherokee Triangle reflects the successful efforts of this neighborhood to preserve its thoughtful historic design while still providing a cosmopolitan and forward-thinking place where Louisvillians can live, work and play.
Cherokee Triangle is a thriving urban neighborhood with a rich heritage. The tree-lined streets, stone fences and brick alleys add to the character of this early city suburb. The historic district looks very much today as it did fifty, seventy-five and even one hundred years ago.
