This is the last remaining structure of the Kentucky Wagon Manufacturing Company, which dates back to the late 1800’s. It recently became fully visible after the surrounding warehouses were demolished. The University of Louisville has plans to expand onto this 32-acre tract of land. It looks like they intend to incorporate this building into the new developments. – Diane Deaton Street – Flickr
