This block of Old Louisville (east and west side)  was at one time the "holiest" in the city.  You could find the
region's largest Baptist congregation at the Walnut Street Baptist Church, and living across the street from each
other were the Roman Catholic Archbishop and the Episcopal Bishop of Kentucky.  Even a Henry Pilcher, of the
nationally regarded Pilcher Sons Organ Company lived on the block for awhile.  The John N. Norton Memorial Infirmary
was located on the block from 1885 until 1973 when it moved to its present downtown health campus location.
The hospital was named in honor of the former associate rector of Christ Church Cathedral who was well known for
his generosity and was called the "Good Samaritan"  and "the pied-piper" by his congregation.
