"St.
Paul's Evangelical Church,
Louisville Kentucky"
This English Perpendicular Gothic style building was completed at the northeast corner of 2nd and Broadway in 1906. It housed an evangelical congregation dating from 1836.
In the intervening years, a large hospital complex grew to the rear of the church. In the late 1990s, the Alliant hospital vigorously tried to have the old church, which it then owned, razed. It was in the way. After a great deal of effort, the building was converted into an obstetrics/gynecology clinic, but at least it was saved.
