  • Origins of the University of Louisville
    ORIGINS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE BY WILLIAM CASSELL MALLALIEU Professor of History, University of Louisville Read before The Filson Club, March 1, 1937 The University of Louisville originated in two separate institutions, both of which were founded by the City of Louisville in 1837: the Louisville Medical Institute and the Collegiate Institute of Louisville. It is the oldest of the institutions now known as municipal universities and this year, beginning April 3 [1937], will celebrate its centennial., The school was chartered as a municipal university in 1846, but, as we shall see, it failed to receive annual support from the City until 1910. This paper is an attempt to explain the origins of the University of Louisville and its relations with the City government during the early years of its existence. Why did the City of Louisville start a municipal university in-18377 The answer is found in the conditions of the time and in the personal motives which were both an index and a reflection of the conditions. The period between 1810 and 1840 was one of expansion, of economic, pohtical, and intellectual growth. The population of the United States doubled in these three decades and most of the increase was in the West along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers and their branches. The West of 1812 had consisted of only four states--Ohio, Kentucky, Ten- nessee, and Lonisiana--and these only partly settled. By 1840 there were eleven Western States, and settlement was practi- cally solid out to the Great Plains and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.

  • Ward Hall, Georgetown, Kentucky
    WARD HALL, GEORGETOWN, KENTUCKY EXTERNAL ENVELOPE RESTORATION PLAN: PHASE 1 Revised Draft, 17 March 2012 Figure 1. Colonel Milton Hamilton and family, who owned Ward Hall from 1887 to 1904, seen on the North front, circa 1890. The modified gable parapet and absent side parapets confirm that the second roof had been installed by this time, but the chimneys, apparently painted white with all the other brickwork above the cornice, still retain their limestone copings. Photo, Clay McKnight, Ward Hall Archive. PREAMBLE: THE PEOPLE & SIGNIFICANCE OF WARD HALL ITS ARCHITECT Ward Hall is Kentucky’s preeminent antebellum Greek Revival residence, and one of the finest examples of its kind in the United States. Lacking documentary evidence from a period in Kentucky history when documentation was somewhat sporadic, and easily scattered or lost, architectural historians have been unwilling to commit to an attribution of the design of Ward Hall to the British military engineer, Major Thomas Lewinski (1800-1881). Certainly, his surviving professional diaries and account books contain no reference to work on Ward Hall, but this may, perhaps, be explained by the fact that by the time this house came to be built in the late 1850s, Lewinski had relinquished his architectural career to renew his vocation in engineering, as Secretary to the rapidly expanding Lexington Gas Company, and only occasionally re- engaged himself in architecture to accommodate old friends and former clients. Be this as it may, in its architectural composition and detailing, and its dutiful adherence to the treatises of Minard Lafever, which Lewinski most closely followed in matters of the Greek Revival style, Ward Hall bears his unmistakable signature.
