Ask Caray: What is the brick facade at the end of Frankfort Avenue?
GRACE WITH THIS WEEK맥스카지노S ASK CARRIE. THIS WEEK WE ARE TALKING LOUISVILLE STRUCTURES AND SOMEONE WANTED TO KNOW THIS. SO WHAT DOES THAT BRICK FACADE WHERE FRANKFORT AVENUE MEETS RIVER ROAD? WELL, WE TALKED TO A LOCAL HISTORIAN TO GET YOU THAT ANSWER. WE ARE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE WHAT I CALL THE HIGH GOLD FACADE, PART OF THE HIGH GOLD HOUSE. IT맥스카지노S CALLED THE HIGH GOLD HOUSE FACADE, AND IT IS ALL THAT IS LEFT OF THE HOME BUILT BY GERMAN IMMIGRANT CHRISTIAN HEIGOLD IN 1853. THE HOME WAS ONCE A MANSION ADORNED WITH INTRICATE CARVINGS, AND SOME OF THE CHARACTER HAS SURVIVED. THERE ARE A COUPLE SLOGANS. THERE맥스카지노S A HAIL TO PRESIDENT BUCHANAN, THERE맥스카지노S A HAIL TO LOUISVILLE AND A HAIL TO THE UNION. AND SO IT맥스카지노S JUST VERY STEEPED IN THIS PATRIOTISM. THE HOME WAS ORIGINALLY CLOSER TO THE RIVER IN AN AREA KNOWN AS THE POINT, BUT THE GREAT FLOOD OF 1937 WASHED OUT THE POINT, AND MOST OF THE HIGH GOLD HOUSE. OVER THE YEARS. THE NEARBY LANDFILL BEGAN TO ENCROACH UPON ON THE PROPERTY, SO THEN MAYOR FARNSLEY, WHO WAS MAYOR AT THE TIME AS WELL AS SOME PROFESSORS FROM U OF L, WERE LIKE, HEY, WE SHOULD TRY TO SAVE THIS AND PUT FORTH SOME MONEY AND REMOVED THE FACADE AND PUT IT ACROSS THE STREET AT RIVER ROAD. BUT THEN IT MOVED AGAIN IN JUNE 2007 TO MAKE WAY FOR MORE DEVELOPMENT AND NOW THE FACADE IS THE ENTRANCE TO FRANKFORT AVENUE AND HAS CEMENTED ITS PLACE IN LOUISVILLE AS A HISTORIC LANDMARK. AND ANOTHER FUN FACT THE FACADE IS OFTEN USED AS A BACKDROP FOR PHOTO SHOOTS LIKE ENGAGEMENT OR PROM PHOTOS. AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION
