Second Street
Second Street was a street of homes for the middle and upper middle class of the late 19th/early 20th Century, still beautifully preserved for several blocks. By modern standards, many consider these relatively modest and cozy Victorian homes to be mansions. Not a surprise considering their proud tall elegant façades and architectural details. In those days, you could also find some of 'Old Louisville's' most impressive public buildings.
