Space Description: This is a historic and stunning piece of history in the heart of Old Louisville, at the block of 1st & Ormsby. This landmark church features 10,819sf of unique & historic architecture with its original charm & character throughout. The prominent entrance to the "sanctuary" is located on Ormsby Ave with a foyer area featuring a men's & women's restroom with 3+ fixtures / each (capacity of 500+). The foyer contains a stairwell to the choir loft overlooking the original organ pipes; one of few left in existence and sought after. Original light fixtures and stained glass features have been professionally restored for historic impact. Furthermore, the authentic curved pews, large Altar area, exposed brick, grandiose size and radiating sound, make for an unforgettable gathering/experience.



The sanctuary is connected by a side-foyer turret (with its own double door entrance on Ormsby) and leads to either a "groom's dressing room/lounge". For the brides, or a second host preparation area, there is a private dressing room connected to a large parlor/lounge equipped with a full bathroom, walk-in shower and private entrance.



The massive reception area boasts a wooden arched ceiling (approx. 25' in height) previously used as an indoor gymnasium. There are multiple spacious gathering rooms with divisible doors, including a grand hall (original cafeteria) connected to an industrial-size kitchen, ideal for catering. Eventually guests make their way outside through French glass doors onto the newly constructed patio with a professionally maintained garden displaying a rose-flowered pergola with mature trees for ample shading and a captivating courtyard. The stunning outdoor setting is perfect for outdoor events/weddings with fireplaces, furniture and privacy.
