I recently visited this home while visiting Louisville. This home situated in Old Louisville, a veritable treasure trove of beautiful historic homes was a delight. While the homes owners story was not that unusual, the homes interiors are extremely well preserved. Of particular note is the dramatic two story stairway. Tours are daily at one and three PM.

The home was absolutely beautiful. We arrived late to the last tour because because of traffic and the people were so nice they gave us a private tour. The tour guide was also very imformative. The home is well worth the visit.

We rang the front doorbell as suggested by the small sign and in a few minutes a very nice woman came to the door and invited us in to browse while she finished an earlier tour. We had free reign to this beautiful home for almost 20 minutes while she finished up on the 3rd floor. The home itself is... More

If you are in the area I highly recommend this tour. Keep in mind it is a small museum with light visitation, so it is always wise to call in advance to make sure a tour is available when you need it. There are so many gorgeous houses in the neighborhood; I always wondered what it would have been like... More

Beautiful interiors, great that the guides were personally related to the family home owners. Would have liked to hear more dirt about happenings in the home. the history was very "clean".

Very interesting place to check out. Beautiful home with French influence and architecture. Every room decorated in the period and beautiful windows and moldings. I enjoyed the docents comments and personal stories from her memories of the house. Worth the time and money.

Very informative tour through a very well preserved home. Loved all the hand carved wood and personal items from the owners. Didn't like that you were not allowed to take pictures.
