I'm Glad These Downtown Louisville Buildings Are Still Around!

OK. So I've already established that Louisville's lost many great structures over the years. However, there are plenty that have survived. The list is long, but here are some of my favorites in no particular order. Let's preserve them. Churches have been excluded; there are too many to list. Perhaps I'll devote a separate post to them later...
