A carved stone arch frames the entrance to the E.V. Thompson Jr. House on Old Louisville’s Millionaire’s Row.
Step across the mosaic-tile threshold and the first floor opens into a series of rooms that still have five sets of pocket doors.
Built around 1892, the Richardsonian Romanesque mansion needs restoration.
The sellers are asking $425,000 and offering the property as is, according to the current Zillow listing.
Two Parlors and Eight Fireplaces
The main house once served as offices for an engineering firm, but its floor plan remained intact.
The north and south parlors share the first floor with a dining room, kitchen, and family room.
Separate staircases rise at the front and rear of the house. Stained and leaded glass, carved woodwork, and fireplace mantels survive throughout the interior.
The property description gives a count of eight fireplaces.
A Rented Carriage House Behind the Mansion
Across the fenced yard stands a renovated carriage house with two to three bedrooms, one full bath, and a half bath.
The listing reports that it rents for $1,125 per month. Its former one-car garage now serves as a storage room, and a double gate opens from the alley to a separate driveway.
The listing photos offer a closer look at the property.
