About This Home

Incredible opportunity to own a piece of history with this 6 bedroom and 6 bath Victorian Mansion in Old Louisville. 1355 S 3rd was built in 1899 for Gilmer Speed Adams, of the prominent JB Speed family, and his wife Lettie Robinson Adams. This home was designed by William Dodd and Arthur Cobb in the Beaux Arts style. The stonework on this home is 2nd to none. Built of beige Roman brick, the house sits atop a limestone foundation and is divided into 3 bays. Dodd and Cobb made a name for themselves by designing multistory office buildings downtown, using the new technique of steel beams and girders. The bay window in Mrs. Speed's morning room (now an Egyptian styled bathroom in one of the suites) is supported by such steel beams. Through leaded glass doors, one enters a wide hall which opens to a grand staircase & balcony. The parlor is to the right as you enter and the dining on the left. The library which is paneled in red oak and features coffered ceilings sits behind the living area. Beautiful pocket doors separate the foyer entry areas. A large family room, breakfast room and chef's kitchen with 2 Islands for lots of workspace round out the 1st floor. Three private suites with full baths on the 2nd floor and more to offer. Several leaded and stained-glass windows throughout the home along with antique fireplaces. The craftsmanship of this home is amazing. A rear carriage house in back and lovely private garden with Koi pond beside the home. Incredible home to entertain in and a WOW factor that you have to see to believe.
