Third Street
Third Street may not be the most famous street in Louisville, but there is no doubt that some of the finest 19th Century mansions of the city line the avenue. (Until 1918, Third Street was named Third Avenue, thus the liberties with the name that may be found throughout this web site) This was once the millionaire's row of the city, the homes of the movers and shakers of 100 years ago: for almost a mile, in a nearly perfect state of preservation. We would love to show you some of the interiors of these sumptious homes, but so far, only the Culbertson Mansion and the Columbine have web sites that can show you a bit of richness that is typical inside these houses.
