We are thrilled and very honored to be a part of this awesome tradition.

With only being opened 16 months, our Bed&Breakfast has served guests
around the globe. They came from 32 States and 5 different Countries.

On a side note, for the last year I started historic research, regarding our historic mansion. This 130 year old house was part of the Clark, Strater and Courtenay Family Compound on S Third St. They were a major part of Old Louisville’s High Society during the Guilded Age.
They were Tabacco Barron's, owning a tabacco factory in downtown Louisville, they were financial VP's at the First National Bank of Louisville as well as Architectural design for the L&N railroad.
The Straters (orignal deeded owners of our house, designed by Arthur Loomis, stayed within the immediate family for 34 years 1895-1929)

In 1905 they purchased 53 acres in Prospect KY for a summer home and were the orginal owner's of what was named "The Drumanard"
which is now a Hisorical Landmark, and remained in the family for over 110 years.(1904-2014)

Brian and I are estatic that we were asked to be apart of this annual tradition, which will allow visitors to tour our historic home & buisness during this wonderful holiday season!

Some holiday traditions only get better with time. ✨ The 49th annual Old Louisville Holiday Home Tour returns December 4-6, inviting you to experience the neighborhood's remarkable architecture, historic landmarks and timeless holiday charm.

This year's theme, Vintage Old Louisville Elegance, celebrates the craftsmanship, character and traditions that make Old Louisville one of Louisville's most distinctive neighborhoods.

Join us for a weekend of beautiful homes, rich history and holiday inspiration.
