The Von Allmen Dairy Farm House in Louisville, Kentucky was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 2007.[2] Built in 1912, it was owned by Emil Von Allmen, a Louisville dairy leader. It was described as "the last vestige of a well-known dairy farm"[3]
The house is of Bungalow/Craftsman style, 1.5 stories high, with Neo-classical detailing.
Eventually, the consolidation of dairy farming caused the farm to stop producing. Of the original 226-acres, only 4 acres remain of the property, with the rest consumed by Louisville sprawl.[4]
Dean Corbett, chef of a restaurant called Equus in St. Matthews, Kentucky, planned to restore the building into a new upscale restaurant called "Corbett's: An American Place".[5] On December 13, 2007, it had a "soft opening"[6] with a hard opening on December 15, 2007.[7]
