Louisville and Nashville Railroad Office Building

The attic is 1.5 stories tall, and features the distinctive initials of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.[3][4] In 1930, an eight-bay western addition which duplicated the look of the original 10-bay building was added, built by then-current chief architect of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad J. C.Construction began in 1902, but its completion was delayed until January 1907, due to difficulties with organized labor in a 1905 steel workers strike.[1][7] [8] In 1984, the state of Kentucky spent $15 million to purchase and renovate the property, retaining the L&N name and neon lights on its upper stories.[6] In August 2009, the building was closed due to the 2009 Kentuckiana Flood, but would reopen as soon as deemed safe.
