A magnificent Richardsonian Mansion on St. James Court. The finest in the city.
Also known as "Conrad's Castle," this is one of the most stunning of Old Louisville's houses and defines Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. The house was built for Theophilus Conrad, a Frenchman (Alsace) who made his fortune in the tanning business. The original construction price was $75,000.Walk around it and enjoy its gargoyles, swags, massive arches and fleur-de-lis. 

The Caldwell family purchased it in 1905 after Mr. Conrad's death.    They lived there for 35 years.  It next served as the Rose Anna Hughes Presbyterian Retirement Home for 40 years.  The St. James Court  Historic Foundation  purchased the home in 1987, restored it, and now operates the museum.  Inside you will find breathtaking woodwork, stained glass and fixtures.
