Humana Building

The Humana Building, also known as the Humana Tower, is a 1985 skyscraper in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, located at 500 West Main Street and headquarters of the Humana Corporation. It was built by the Auchter Company. Description The 26-story structure is headquarters of the Humana Corporation, and was designed by the Driehaus Prize winner and New Classical architect Michael Graves. Construction began in October 1982 and was completed in May 1985. Each side of the building is designed slightly differently, up to a sloping pyramid style for the upper few floors. The building is also known for its exterior construction of flat pink granite. The north facade's loggia is respectful of the older downtown architecture, being flush with the original Main Street storefronts. The open-air front portion of the loggia contains a large fountain. The large, curved portion towards the top of the building is an open-air observation deck. The outermost point of the circle has space for a few people at a time to be surrounded by glass, allowing for views of the Ohio River and Main Street. At the site of the Humana Building previously stood the six-story Kenyon Building, which was the first skyscraper in Louisville. Completed in 1886, that building was razed in 1974. In February 2024, Humana announced it would vacate the building in a cost-cutting move, and that it would attempt to sell the building a year later. On February 3, 2026, after the building was sold, Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg announced that the building would be turned into a 1,000-room convention center hotel. Awards The American Institute of Architects awarded the Humana Building the National Honor Award in 1987. Time magazine listed it as one of the ten best buildings of the 1980s.

Octagon Hall

Octagon Hall is an eight-sided house in Simpson County, Kentucky near Franklin, Kentucky completed around 1860. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It has also been known as the Andrew Jackson Caldwell House after the man who built the house. There is a second contributing building on the property, a detached summer kitchen. Octagon Hall is located northeast of Franklin, Kentucky on U.S. Route 31W. Architecture It is a red brick, two-story octagonal house with a high basement. The octagonal plan was likely inspired by Orson Squire Fowler's 1848 book, The Octagon House: A Home for All, which developed a trend in American architecture starting in the 1850s. It is one of two surviving octagonal structures in Kentucky. The three front facades have brick laid in Flemish bond, while brickwork is common bond elsewhere. History In 1847, Andrew Jackson Caldwell laid out the foundation for a distinctive new family home. By 1860, Caldwell was living there with his wife Harriet Morton Caldwell, daughters Frances, Mary, and Martha, and son Henry. During the Civil War, Octagon Hall served as a hospital for both Confederate and Union soldiers. It also doubled as a hideout for Confederate troops on the run from the Union army. Harriet Caldwell lived in the house after her husband's death in 1866. After 1916, the property was sold to Miles Williams, a Nashville doctor. In 2001, the property was purchased by the Octagon Hall Foundation. Director Billy D. Byrd has operated the site as a non-profit museum and local attraction, highlighting the paranormal experiences he has reported there. Currently, it is the site of the Octagon Hall Museum & Kentucky Confederate Studies Archive. It includes a library, a display of Civil War artifacts, Native American artifacts, and genealogical and historical research material. A slave cemetery and historic gardens are on the grounds. In popular culture Octagon Hall has been promoted and popularized as a haunted place. Octagon Hall has been featured on A&E, Syfy, History Channel, Discovery Channel, and many others. It was featured on Haunted Live on the Travel Channel in 2018. References

Lee's Creek Covered Bridge

Lee's Creek Covered Bridge is a historic wooden bridge on Lee's Creek Road 0.1 miles (0.16 km) south of Kentucky Route 8 near Dover, Kentucky. It is 61 feet (19 m) long with a double set of Queen post trusses on each side. It was built in 1835 as a toll bridge and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Major renovations were completed in 1926 by the Bower Bridge Company and in 1966 by the Kentucky Highway Department. It was raised to the current height by 15-year-old Stock Bower in 1920. The latest renovation took place in 2001. Iron support beams were added to the bridge during the course of these renovations. Many reasons have been offered to explain the construction of covered bridges in Kentucky during the 19th century. Roads across the bridges were kept dry and free of snow in winter. The protection the cover provided against wood deterioration was likely most important. The cover allowed timbered trusses and braces to season properly and kept water out of the joints, prolonging the life by seven to eight times that of an uncovered bridge. The bridge was bypassed in 2005, but remains open to local traffic.

Waverly Hills

Waverly Hills – dawne sanatorium zlokalizowane w Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Pierwotnie szpital do leczenia pacjentów chorych na gruźlicę, zbudowany w 1908 roku. Historia Na początku XX wieku, w okręgu Jefferson wybuchła epidemia gruźlicy. Początkowo został zbudowany budynek, dla około stu czterdziestu pacjentów. Ponieważ epidemia rozszerzała się, potrzeba było większego szpitala. W marcu roku 1924 zaczęto budować nowy, pięciopiętrowy budynek, mogący pomieścić ponad czterystu pacjentów. Budowla została otwarta 17 października 1926 r. Szpital został zamknięty w czerwcu 1961 r. Waverly Hills zostało poddane pracom renowacyjnym i otwarte jest dla zwiedzających. Legendy Jedna z najpowszechniej znanych legend Waverly Hills, to opowieść o pokoju nr 502. Mówi ona o pielęgniarce, która popełniła samobójstwo przez powieszenie w tym właśnie pokoju. Kilka lat później inna pielęgniarka skoczyła z dachu budynku, ponieważ była już zakażona gruźlicą i dowiedziała się, że jest w ciąży, na dodatek pozamałżeńskiej. Inną historią jest Death Tunnel – tunel śmierci. Jest to tunel, który został zbudowany, aby usuwać zwłoki zmarłych pacjentów, i ukrywać je przed innymi pacjentami, jak i przed światem. Żniwa epidemii usuwano i zatajano przed bywalcami Waverly Hills, by nie podsycać w nich paniki. W szpitalu dokonywano eksperymentów medycznych na pacjentach.
