The Earth compost bins and Systern rain barrels were first offered at a successful truckload sale in May. By using these products, residents can protect and enhance the environment. For each 1,000 residents who compost, some 600,000 pounds of organic waste are diverted from landfills each year. Rain barrels can collect up to 600 gallons of water for use on gardens and lawns (with one inch of rain falling on a 1,000 square foot area). They are available for purchase Monday through Friday at the Solid Waste Management office, 600 Meriwether Street while supplies last. If you would like to purchase a rain barrel ($55) or a compost bin ($45), payment must be made by check or money order.

Alley Structures and Carriage Houses Have a Character of their Own By Christopher Quirk The alleys of the Cherokee Triangle are as important to defining the character of the neigh- borhood as the stone walls on Willow or the brick mansions of Cherokee Road. For some residents, the alleys are a necessary route from garage to street, but for others, they are perfect for a quiet walk without the distraction of speed- ing vehicles. The character of each alley is as different as the character of each street. As life- styles and transportation modes have changed, the alleys and alley structures have adapted. This article will focus on the historic configuration of alleys and alley structures, to be followed in the next issue by an examination of alleys today. The 1905 Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps for Louisville provide a good picture of the original configuration of alleys. The maps show lot lines as well as the footprint and number of stories for all structures. They also provide information about construction materials used for walls and roofs and even indicate buildings used as stables. This article focuses on Sanborn information for Baxter Alley between Baxter Avenue and Chero- kee Road in the block between Grinstead and Brick Carriage House with lot facing Cherokee Road Highland Avenues. (Photo by Christopher Quirk) In 1905, the lots backing up to Baxter Alley were very different in character. Thirty-two lots faced Baxter, on lots facing Cherokee were brick. Alley structures reflected while only sixteen much larger lots faced Cherokee. Main struc- this difference in scale and the material: there were no brick tures facing Baxter were mostly frame, while all main structures structures on lots facing Baxter while almost half on the Chero- kee lots were brick. Only 40 percent of the Baxter structures were more than one story, compared to sixty percent on Cherokee. The most interesting shared characteristic is that in two-thirds of the properties on both sides an alley struc- ture occupied more than 75 percent of the full lot. These structures formed an implied, if not actual, separation be- tween the alley and backyards. Use patterns differed as well. Half the lots facing Baxter had stables compared to two-thirds of the lots facing Chero- kee. Non-stable structures were also on two-thirds of the lots. These structures are assumed to have been residential, as Sanborn did not typically document storage sheds, out- houses, or chicken coops. These alley structures also would have been occupied by domestic servants. The coming and going of car- Continued on page 9

Children search for clues in participating businesses to help them find the familiar figure of Waldo and then celebrate with a party. Owners Besse and Boggs attribute their success to the neigh- borhood. Thirty-three years ago they chose Louisville as their home and the Triangle as the place where they wanted to start a book store. The Triangle offered a healthy mix of residential and retail elements as well as demographics that indicated a population of readers. They became a part of that population as they chose to live in the Triangle as well.
