History

Downtown Louisville is the oldest part of the city of Louisville, whose initial development was closely tied to the Ohio River. The largest early fort, Fort Nelson, was built in 1781 near what is today the corner of 7th and Main streets. Many early residents lived nearby after moving out of the forts by the mid-1780s, although little remains from of the earliest (mostly wood) structures.

Early plans of the city, such as William Pope's original plan in 1783, show a simple grid on an east/west axis along the river. The earliest streets, Main, Market and Jefferson retain their original names from the plan, while the smaller Green Street is now known as Liberty. Main Street was the city's initial commercial hub for nearly a century.

By 1830 Louisville passed Lexington as Kentucky's largest city, with a population over 10,000. The steamboat era saw the opening of the Louisville and Portland Canal, and local commerce picked up further with the founding of banks and manufacturing. Most of Louisville's population was packed into downtown, which by this time stretched as far south as Prather Street (later renamed Broadway). Many still-remaining buildings reveal what the area was like at this time, with narrow, two to four-story buildings packing the streets.

The area and the city continued to grow during the railroad era. However, the increased mobility of early trolleys, as well as the shear number and diversity of people moving to Louisville, saw a shift in focus as areas like Phoenix Hill, Russell and what is now Old Louisville began to be built on the edges of downtown, particularly after the city annexed those areas in 1868. Railroads lead to a diminished role for the river in transportation, further reducing the importance of downtown in favor of areas on what was then the edge of the city, along rail lines. This article refers to public transport vehicles running on rails. ... Phoenix Hill is a neighborhood just east of Downtown Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.

In 1890 the first skyscraper, the ten-story Columbia Building, was completed at 4th and Main. The development of three large suburban parks and the electrified streetcar lead to the first true movement to the suburbs at this time. Some of downtown's business and industry followed people toward these areas. But by the 1920s the commercial center of Louisville was still nearby, at 4th and Broadway, dubbed the "magic corner" by the Herald Post. The riverfront area of downtown was still being actively improved, such as with the building of what is now George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge across the Ohio at Second Street in 1929. The Columbia Building in 1910 The Columbia Building was Louisville, Kentuckys second skyscraper, designed by Cornelius Curtin and completed in 1890 at a cost of $1 million. ... a historic postcard showing electric trolley-powered streetcars in Richmond, Virginia, where Frank J.

After World War II, suburbanization increased and downtown began to decline as interstate highways further reduced the importance of its central location. Since the 1970s, downtown has been the subject of both urban renewal and historic preservation efforts. While many new buildings have been built, it has sometimes been at the expense of older landmarks, such as the Tyler Block.

Many buildings set totally or mostly vacant at this time, and some became dilapidated to the point where they burned down or had to be razed. Other issues included a former theater district on Jefferson Street that had became dubbed the "porno district" by the 1980s. The businesses there were seen by the city as an eyesore since they were so close to the convention center, and most were demolished or burned down by the 1990s. A few adult book stores and bars remained in the general area as of 2007.

From the late 1970s to early 1990s, nine new high rises over 200 feet in height were built in downtown. Unlike the city's previous tallest buildings, which were all set along the Broadway corridor, these new buildings were set closer to the riverfront along Main and Market Streets.

Since 2000, downtown has seen another major growth spurt, although this one not only includes new high rises, but also a large scale return of large scale residential and retail back to the city center. The completion of Louisville Slugger Field along with a mass expansion of the city's Waterfront Park, both completed in 1998, sparked new development along the eastern edge of downtown, with entire abandoned blocks rebuilt with new condominium units and shops. Several other major projects are expected to be complete by 2010, including the 22,000 seat Louisville waterfront arena at Second and Main Streets.

Residential

Early residences outside of the forts, still mostly wood structures, were built along the modern street grid on early lots sold to settlers, but have all been demolished over time. What became the almost entirely office and parking-lot dominated downtown still had many solidly single family residential blocks on its fringes up until the early 20th century. Streets near Broadway, such as Chestnut, were lined with large mansions of the owners of businesses on Main and Market streets. Image File history File links Pendennis_club_c1906. ...

Fifth, which is operated as a historic property with daily tours.

By the late 20th century, downtown Louisville had acquired a reputation as a place to work and visit during the week but which shuts down evenings and weekends. The first changes to this were the conversion of old warehouse and factory space to loft apartments. By the late 1990s and early 2000s,

new developments of luxury condominiums such as the 22-story Waterfront Park Place, the sophisticated Fleur de Lis on Main, and the $200 million 25-acre complex RiverPark Place, indicated increasing residential interest in Downtown Louisville. In 2007 Downtown Louisville became Jefferson County's tenth Multiple Listing Service zone.

Housing units available downtown are expected to double between 2005 and 2010, from 1,800 to nearly 4,000, after increasing by only 900 units from 1985 to 2005. ^[2] This is both a result of new condominium construction and efforts to convert existing buildings into mixed usage, such as the $20 million redevelopment of the historic eight-story Henry Clay building at Third and Chestnut streets into a mix of residential, restaurant, retail and event space. The redevelopment also includes property that extends east to Fourth Street, which will become a public piazza, and the historic Wright-Taylor building, a two-story, 13,500-square-foot structure that faces Fourth Street and is located behind the Henry Clay, and is now an upscale restaurant that occupies the entire Wright-Taylor building.

Future plans

Two new high-rise developments planned for downtown are the glass and steel $50 million shopping and office complex Iron Quarter, and the concrete and vast expanses of glass, mixed-use $25 million ZirMed Gateway Towers, both announced in 2007. There are several other major projects in the next few years that could have a dramatic effect on downtown, including the construction of the three-tower Louisville Museum Plaza, the conversion of the former Big Four railroad bridge into the longest pedestrian only bridge in the U.S., the construction of a wharf along the Riverwalk Trail, a new waterfront arena, and the reconstruction of Spaghetti Junction (the intersection of I-65, I-64 and I-71) along with the addition of a new bridge for northbound I-65 traffic.
