Gardencourt
 Eloquent whispers
of days gone by welcome guests to Louisville’s Gardencourt Estate. From
its tree lined drive to its formal gardens the stately home and its extensive
grounds speak softly of a time when fine craftsmanship was honored and painstaking
attention to detail was the height of beauty.
Built
in 1906 and designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge of Boston for the daughters
of Kentucky financier George W. Norton, Gardencourt is a gathering place of choice
for many diverse groups of people. Today this classic three-story Beaux Arts home
is owned by the Louisville Seminary and listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. |
