Louisville Public Warehouse

Built in the late 1800s as an Internal Revenue bonded warehouse to store whiskey that had been purchased by individuals as an investment. The company stored liquor that came directly from a distillery or customs warehouse, the company also bottled whiskey during prohibition.

The eight-story building had their business entrance on Main St. and an warehouse entrance one-story below, on Washington St., facing towards the riverfront wharf.

The clock tower and cast iron roof cresting are what make the building unique to Louisville.

Located one block east of the area known today as Whiskey Row.
