Whiskey Row refers to a block-long stretch from 101-133 W. Main Street that once served as home to the bourbon industry in Louisville, Kentucky. The collection of Revivalist and Chicago School-style buildings with cast-iron storefronts were built between 1852 and 1905. On a list of Louisville Most Endangered Historic Places, the buildings were slated for demolition in 2011,^[1] but an agreement between the city, local developers, and preservationists saved Whiskey Row.
