Limerick

Small cities and neighborhoods centered around Bardstown Rd., between I-264, Taylorsville Rd., and Lakeside Dr. in the upper Highlands.

Strathmoor Manor, Strathmoor Village, Strathmoor Gardens, Kingsley and Wellington make up an area loosely referred to as Strathmoor in the area near Bardstown Rd., and just south of Taylorsville Rd., near Bowman Field.

Strathmoor Gardens was annexed by the City of Strathmoor Village in 1993, part of the saga of suburban politics.

The building styles are very eclectic, and signaled the beginning of the end of old-fashioned craftsmanship in building arts in Louisville as more mass produced products became readily available.

Strathmoor Manor, to the south of Bardstown Rd. was created in the 1920’s and was advertised as an ‘airplane subdivision’, given it’s proximity to Bowman Field, the oldest continually operating commercial airfield in North America.

All of the homes share a common historical element of being created in the age of the automobile.
