Downtown Dialogue - What's Up Downtown

TIDBITS

Dog of the Month

Country Dog, City Dog
Meet Shiya, an adorable 6 month old English Cream Golden Retriever. Shiya can often be found Downtown at Old Friends or with her New Friends at Sweet Cow. When Wendy does not have her doing puppy chores on the ranch, Shiya spends her free time trying to catch flies, getting her feet muddy, eating, and chasing her tail. Don’t tell Shiya there’s nothing to do!

Historic Moments
This month in conjunction with the Historic Preservation Commission, we are featuring:

The Louisville Bank Building

The Louisville Bank Building
700 Main Street

You know it as The Huckleberry, but it is officially called the Louisville Bank Building. Built in circa 1907 – 1908, the building still has its original cornice treatment, window trim, and pressed tin siding that was intended to make it stand out in a town of wooden buildings. Besides the first bank in Louisville, it has housed law offices and restaurants.

For more information about Louisville’s Historic Preservation Program contact Lauren Trice, 303-335-4594, laurent@louisvilleco.gov.
