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

Heaven Hill was founded by several investors shortly after the repeal of Prohibition in 1935 [1934 according to the Heaven Hill website], including a prominent distiller, Joseph L. Beam, and a member of the Shapira family. As the company developed, the five brothers of the Shapira family bought out the other investors. Joe Beam remained as Master Distiller, along with his youngest son, Harry. Descendants of the Shapira brothers own and run the company to this day. – Wikipedia
