Have you ever walked past a building or location in your city and thought, “I wonder what that used to be?” Well, if you live in Louisville, you’re about to get some answers to that question in This Used to Be Louisville. From “the old Sears building” that continues to be used as a directional touchpoint to a downtown theater that has been frozen in time, you’ll get a tour of these places paired with stories that will inform and sometimes surprise. In the process, it may just get you wondering about the many people a hundred years ago that traversed those places in a completely different context. Local author Kevin Gibson turned his natural interest in comparing present to past into a book that looks into a wide variety of locales that contribute to the city’s legacy. And when it’s all said and done, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of Louisville’s history and culture, from major historical landmarks to neighborhood businesses to the Louisvillians who made these places important.

This present volume gives a historical detail of the rise, progress, and present position of the city of Louisville, instead of following the course which has been pursued by most writers of local history. It is no part of the design of this volume to eulogize Louisville beyond its deserts. In this book, Casseday cites sources who lived in early Louisville, such as Henry Bradshaw Fearon, an Englishman in his twenties who stayed here in the fall of 1817. Fearon's description of mealtimes at early taverns (such as the Indian Queen) helps the reader understand how the rough-and-tumble early Louisvillians appeared to be a stiff and proper Englishman. The book also tells the story of Mike Fink, the riverboat captain, and his run-in with the law in Louisville. A lover of Louisville's history will enjoy this book.
