To document the amazing transformation of
Louisville from a sleepy river town to a dynamic
modern city, Greater Louisville Inc – The Metro
Chamber of Commerce – has partnered with Butler
Books and the University of Louisville Photographic
Archives to present this 240-page collection of vintage
and contemporary photographs that convey the
fascinating story of Louisville’s growth and evolution.
As the hundreds of comparative photographs
attest, Louisville has changed dramatically since the
turn of the century but has managed to retain much of
its architectural charm and sense of place. The book is
a pleasing blend of history and progress, portraying
the changing landscape of Louisville’s downtown and
its landmark buildings, neighborhoods, parks and points of interest. Through
side-by-side images, the reader sees the city transform through the lens of time.
Captions compiled by an all-star cast of local historians accompany the
photographs. Introductions by GLI President and CEO Joe Reagan, University
of Louisville President James Ramsey, and U of L Archivist/Louisville Metro
Council Member Tom Owen set the stage for the reader’s photographic
journey through Louisville’s evolving landscape.
