Wilson Way builds in Butchertown.
Old brick meat-packing district, now loft-living.
Why Butchertown homes are different.
Industrial-loft conversions, exposed brick, second-story additions are common.
Wilson Way context: Shotgun restoration (2025), Market Street live-work conversion (2024), brick row-home kitchen (2023), second-story addition (2025). Butchertown is one of Louisville's oldest neighborhoods, dating to the 1800s. The historic "Butchertown Pork" heritage gives the area its character. Most properties are narrow shotgun-style row homes, 14-20 feet wide, with shared walls. We specialize in shotgun restorations — opening the floor plan while preserving the original facade. The neighborhood sits just east of downtown, walking distance to NuLu. Permit timelines are standard Jefferson County. Permits: Louisville Metro Codes & Regulations.
We have been building in Butchertown for years. We know the permitting office, the inspectors, the local supply yards, and the trades. That means faster timelines, fewer surprises, and better outcomes for your project.
