| Description |
The Louisville Storefronts & Saloons Album (ca. 1912) collection consists of 114 exterior photographs of predominantly commercial buildings around the Central Business District, Portland, and Russell neighborhoods of Louisville, Kentucky in the early decades of the twentieth century, and 107 accompanying pages outlining specific information for each property including street number, value, former owners, insurance company, tenant and rent amount, as well as a hand-drawn survey; this information also exists for an additional 108 properties lacking accompanying photographs. Nearly all of the images in this collection show a corner property, many with advertisements for food products and beer in the windows and painted on the exterior walls. Some images show people, proprietors, and patrons standing around the building, and sometimes in the doorways or windows, but the majority of images do not include any people.
The Louisville Storefronts & Saloons Album was donated to the University of Louisville Photographic Archives by Judy Werst on behalf of Patsy & Buz Unclebach in 2009.
All of the photographs in the collection are gelatin silver prints mounted to fabric pages, with some exhibiting deterioration from probable water damage. The pages have been disassembled from the album and placed in an acid-free archival box for preservation purposes. All of the 114 photographs in the album are included in the digital collection, and those with accompanying information and survey pages appear as compound objects. |
