Wilson Way builds in Old Louisville.
Largest Victorian neighborhood in the US.
Why Old Louisville homes are different.
Ornate Victorian mansions. Specialty work: restoration + preservation-grade remodels.
Wilson Way context: Third Street Victorian restoration (2024), St. James Court porch reconstruction (2023), Ormsby Avenue brick row-home (2024), multi-unit conversion (2023). Old Louisville is the largest Victorian neighborhood in the United States (and the third-largest historic district overall). Many properties fall under Old Louisville Neighborhood Council review, which adds 30-60 days to permit timelines. We work extensively with the OLNC on exterior restoration, paint color approval, and porch reconstruction. The neighborhood is dense — most lots are 25-50 feet wide, which constrains material delivery and staging. Many homes are 3-story brick with original plaster walls. Permits: Louisville Metro Codes & Regulations + Old Louisville Neighborhood Council historic review.
We have been building in Old Louisville 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.
