The Peter C. Doerhoefer House, at 4422 W. Broadway in Louisville, Kentucky was built in 1908. It is adjacent to the Basil Doerhoefer House at 4432 W. Broadway. Both were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as part of a study of historic resources in west Louisville.[2]
Its architecture is eclectic.
Photo appears to me to show house with mix of Italianate (broad eaves with brackets) and American Foursquare and perhaps Craftsman (porch). Is Eclectic architecture a thing?
"This residence is representative of turn-of-the-century architecture in the West Broadway area. This house is one of the largest and most monumentally detailed of the Americal Four-squares in Louisville."[3]
"NO. 4422 is a large, two and one-half story frame dwelling on a limestone foundation. A veranda across the front and most of the west side has a concrete balustrade. It is covered in front by a low, hipped porch roof supported by square, paneled pillars. The central, double doorway and flanking sidelights have leaded glass. A large, rectangular window on either side completevthe ground floor facade. Directly above the entry is a pair of small windows, flankedvagain by larger ones. All these windows have one-[Continuation not included]."[3]
History
editThis residence was built in 1908 for Peter C. Doerhoefer, vice-president of the Monarch Tobacco Works and son of Basil Doerhoefer. The land was actually part of the same lot where the elder Doerhoefer had built his magnificent home several years earlier. All this land and both houses were sold to the Loretto High School in 1925. It is now owned by Christ Temple Apostolic Church."[3]
In 1981 it was owned by "Christ Temple Apostolic Church, Inc.[3]
The house was registered on Louisville's list of local landmarks in 2011.[4]
The house was included in Preservation Louisville's list of top 10 most endangered historic places in 2012, and was continued in that list through at least 2014.[4] Preservation Louisville noted that Christ Temple Apostolic Church "does not use the house and would like to no longer maintain the property."[4]
In August 2016 a rear portion of the house was determined to be in imminent danger of collapse,[5] and a professional engineer recommended demolition of the entire building.[6] Louisville's mayor Greg Fischer stated "'We don't know if this building can be saved, but we are exploring all options,'" and added "that this situation 'underscores the value of the new Historic Preservation Advisory Task Force formed earlier this year.'"[5]
