  • Irish Hill Neighborhood Plan 2002
    IRISH HILL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN FINAL OCTOBER 2002 - 1 - PDF processed with CutePDF evaluation edition www.CutePDF.com - 2 - Section I – Foreword - 3 - FOREWORD Irish Hill is perched on the east edge of downtown Louisville. Its location makes our neighborhood a key to achieving Mayor Armstrong’s plan of making Louisville a city in which to “live, work, and play.” Our neighborhood carries all these qualities: residences minutes from downtown, places of employment along the edge of downtown, and parks that anchor the ends of the neighborhood. Irish Hill carries potential for filling housing needs, preserving historical character, and being progressive in community building. However, in recent years many adverse land uses have diminished neighborhood quality of life and the character of the neighborhood’s residential fabric. The purpose of the Irish Hill Neighborhood Plan, therefore, is to: ° ensure correct and compatible land use and zoning ° to highlight and promote the neighborhood’s historical character ° to identify community needs ° to prepare a plan of action to secure the neighborhood’s future - 4 - Section II - Plan Process - 5 - PLAN PROCESS Work to develop this Irish Hill Neighborhood Plan commenced in January, 2002, following the appointment by Mayor David L. Armstrong of a neighborhood planning task force pursuant to City of Louisville ordinance No. 22, Series 19801. which guides the development of plans for City of Louisville neighborhoods. The Louisville Development Authority (LDA), the city’s principal community planning and development agency, was authorized by Mayor Armstrong to conduct the planning process. LDA, in turn, asked the Louisville Community Design Center (LCDC) to assist in plan development.

    GREATER JEFFERSONTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER October 2016 Vol. 14 Number 5 October 2016 Meeting The October meeting will be held on Monday, October 3, 2016. We will meet at 7:00 P.M at the Jeffersontown Library, 10635 Watterson Trail. The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. October Meeting – October 3 Catherine Bache will present a program on her Girl Scout Gold Award project, “Faces of Freedom: Preserving Underground Railroad Stories and Preventing Human Trafficking.” Underground Railroad myths and truths will be connected to myths and truths of modern day slavery, human trafficking. It is important to preserve the stories of the past so that we can better understand and address the issues that face us in the present. Locust Grove has requested that Catherine and her group present the play portion at Locust Grove on Friday, September 9. This will not be part of our program. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the equivalent to the Boy Scout Eagle Award. December Meeting We will have a luncheon at the Café on Main starting at 1:00 P.M. Possible Meeting Change – Day and Time Some members have requested we investigate changing our meeting time to the afternoon to accommodate those who have trouble coming to night meetings, especially in the winter months. I’ve talked with Deborah Anderson, Jeffersontown Branch librarian, and we would probably have to change days. It will depend on the renewals of groups that already regularly meet during the day.

    A.Place in Time: City -.- Limerick Page 1 of 4 9I: / / A Place in Time i 'I The story of Louisville's neighborhoods '1 A publication @The CourierJournal B 1989 Limerick GENEROSITY WAS CORNERSTONE UPON WHICH IRISH AND BLACKS BUILT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD By Pat O'Connor O The Courier-Journal imerick. Its very name brings up thoughts of the Irish -- shamrocks, leprechauns, the wearing of the green. But the Limerick neighborhood was home to a small, close-knit community years before the first Irishman put down roots in the area. Before the Civil War, much of the area was farm land. Starting in the 1830s, a small community of blacks lived in the area between Broadway and Kentucky Street. Many were slaves who labored on a large plantation at Seventh and Kentucky streets; others were free blacks who were household servants. In 1858, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad bought the Kentucky Locomotive Works at 10th and Kentucky streets for $80,000, and within a decade, the railroad had built repair shops and a planing mill. At about that time, many Irish workers began moving their families from Portland into Limerick, nearer their jobs. Typically, they lived in modest brick or wood-fiarne houses or shotgun cottages, which were later replaced by the three-story brick and stone structures that line the streets today. L & N also hired black laborers, who lived with their families in homes in alleys behind streets. But fi-om the mid- 19th century until about 1905, Limerick was known as the city's predominant Irish neighborhood. Some historic accounts credit Tom Reilly, an early resident, with giving the neighborhood its name, and others believe it was named for the county or city of Limerick, which is on Ireland's west coast.

    GREATER JEFFERSONTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER August 2013 Vol. 11 Number 4 August 2013 Meeting The August meeting will be Monday, August 5, 2013. We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. August Meeting - Lessons From Rosenwald Schools Julia Bache will discuss the Rosenwald School movement and how Julius Rosenwald, part owner of the Sears and Roebuck Company, and Booker T. Washington partnered together in the early 1900s to build over 5,000 schools. There were seven Rosenwald schools in Jefferson County and one of those was the Alexander-Ingram School in Jeffersontown. She will also speak about how to take part in historic preservation. Please visit Ms. Bache's work in the Jeffersontown Historical Museum. It will be displayed through noon on August 7th. Julia is a sixteen year old high school student who has recently taken an active stance in historic preservation as a part of her Girl Scout Gold Award Project. With the guidance of L. Martin Perry, she nominated the Buck Creek Rosenwald School to be on the National Register of Historic Places, becoming the first high school student in Kentucky to do so. She then helped educate the public about preservation through a traveling museum exhibit that she created in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. She has also been speaking to various audiences throughout Kentucky about preserving Rosenwald Schools.

Records, 1854–1949 For information regarding literary and copyright interest for this collection, see the curator of special collections. Size of Collection: 58.5 cubic feet, 20 ovsz. folders Mss./BB/M978 D. X. Murphy & Bro., Architects (Louisville, Ky.) Records, 1854–1949 Biographical Note D. X. (Dennis Xavier) Murphy (1853–1933) was born in Louisville, Kentucky. Murphy was the son of Irish immigrants and began working as a draftsman for Irish immigrant, architect, Henry Whitestone in 1874. In 1881, upon Whitestone’s retirement, Murphy took control of the firm. Murphy changed the name of the firm to D. X. Murphy & Bro., Architects, in 1890 when his brother J. C. (James Cornelius) Murphy became a partner in the firm. Murphy’s younger brother, Peter J. Murphy worked for the firm as well. Along with Louisville-area residences and business buildings, the Murphy brothers designed many churches and schools in Kentucky. Many of their projects were Catholic churches and academies, reflecting their strong ties to the Roman Catholic Church. They also built several medical facilities including the original Jewish hospital, and the Louisville General Hospital in 1914 on Chestnut St. The later was known as the “Million Dollar Hospital,” because Jim Crow regulations required building separate facilities for use by African Americans. Murphy’s firm was responsible for one of Louisville’s internationally known architectural works, the grandstand and twin spires at Churchill Downs. Murphy’s firm is still extant as Luckett & Farley, Inc. J. C. (James Cornelius) Murphy (1864–1935) was born in Louisville, Kentucky to Irish immigrant parents, Cornelius and Honora McNamara Murphy.
