Bernard Bernheim in 1908
|
This fine example of
Richardsonian Romanesque architecture was built in 1893 by Mr. W.W. Hite of the
Louisville and Evansville Mail Company, and by 1899 became the home of
distiller philanthropist Bernard Bernheim whose many charities included the
Louisville Park System and the donation along with his brother Isaac of numerous
statues and monuments including Louisville's Jefferson Memorial and the bronze
sculptures of Kentuckians Henry Clay and Ephraim McDowell in the The
National Statuary Hall of
the United States Capitol. Bernard Bernheim lived in this house until he
passed away in 1925.
The mansion contains
over 8,000 square feet of exotic woods and interesting woodwork. This home
is built of stone and its main exterior feature is a stunning triple archway
entry. The interior centers around a curved stairwell crowned with stained
glass windows.
The mansion can accommodate up to
seven couples in its rooms and
suites, with amenities including satellite television and whirlpool
(subject to availability), not to
mention the timeless beauty of a fabulously restored historic home. Seated
in the heart of Old Louisville, the mansion is within walking distance of St.
James Court and Central Park and the University of Louisville, and is close to
downtown Louisville with its exciting night life, the riverfront, Churchill
Downs, and the airport.
Make the Bernheim Mansion
in your
retreat for a romantic hide-away or
just a get-away-from-it-all weekend! The Bernheim Mansion is a logical
central point for day trips along Kentucky's famous
Bourbon Trail
