Notes: The house is modeled after a French Chateau. The windows have intricate carvings, elaborate roof trim, and heavy quoining. It's best to walk around and view all sides of the house and carriage house. It is one of the most architecturally significant houses in the area.
Since the mid 1986, the mansion has been occupied by The Filson Club (now Filson Historical Society) which houses local and state history, genealogy documents, art, and rare Kentucky artifacts. The rear portion of the building is actually new construction built to provide temperature and climate control for the Filson collection. A museum of Louisville’s memorabilia is located in the carriage house. A tour of the main house and the carriage house is free. Enter through the side door off the drive. Hours are 9AM to 5PM Monday-Friday and 9AM to 12 noon on Saturday. The museum is open from 10AM to 4:00PM, Monday-Friday.
