Old Louisville is well-known for its architecture, with styles ranging from Federal to Queen Anne. Very few antebellum buildings remain, and the most impressive buildings were built in the late 19th century. There are a few Italianate, Beaux-Arts and Second Empire style houses, but Victorian styles dominate. Victorian Gothic styles are commonly seen. Many homes in Old Louisville are united by their use of red sandstone trim, which became popular by the 1880s.
