Downtown Dog
of the Month

Introducing Hank, a one and half year old Standard Poodle. When Hank isn't at the dog park or running along the Coal Creek Trail you will find him on Main Street at Louie's Pet Supply. Hank is the official store greeter and will be more than happy to show you all of his favorite treats.

Historic Moments
This month in conjunction with the Historic Preservation Commission, we are featuring:

Thomas House

Thomas House
700 Lincoln Ave.

This is a well-preserved example of wood frame miner housing. Miner Nicholas Thomas, Jr., whose parents were among Louisville’s early British settlers, built the house in circa 1904 – 1906. This house has the distinction of having been owned by one family, the Thomases, for over 100 years.
