More
faculty offices and classrooms are found in the renovated,
historical mansion called Gardencourt. On
the first floor, beautifully decorated meeting rooms are available
for rent
by members of the Seminary community and the public. The second
and third floors house offices and classrooms as well as Lifelong
Learning and Advanced Degrees, the
Center for Congregations and Family Ministries,
and The
Louisville Institute.
Built
in 1906 by Louisville industrialist and financier George Norton,
Gardencourt is an example of the Beaux Arts style of architecture.
After the Norton family sold the home, it was used by the
University of Louisville's School of Music and the Louisville
Ballet. LPTS purchased the home in 1987 and completed renovations
in 1989, for which the Seminary received an Historic Preservation
Alliance Award in 1991.
