St James-Belgravia Ct. area -
In 1883, the Southern Exposition of Art, Industry, and Agriculture opened for a five year run on the 40 acre grounds that extended from Park Ave. to Hill St. and from 4th to 6th Sts. The main two-story 600 x 900 sq. ft. wood-framed main building was on the present site of St. James, Fountain, and Belgravia Courts. The marvel of the exposition was the largest ever display of electric lighting, 4600 Edison incandescent bulbs. One million people visited the exposition over five years.
After the Southern Exposition closed and was disassembled in 1887 the area was subdivided to include center greens, three walking courts, and a fountain imported from New England. The original fountain was replaced in the 1970s.
The Conrad-Caldwell House Museum, also known as Conrad’s Castle, is the most stunning of Old Louisville’s homes and defines Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. The house was built for a Frenchman who made his fortune in the leather tanning business. The St. James Court Historic Foundation purchased the home in 1987, restored it, and operates the museum today.
The St. James Court Art Show is a juried fine arts and fine crafts show held the first weekend of October that began in 1957 as neighborhood artists displayed art on a clothesline in the center greens, and has turned into one of the biggest and best in the nation, attracting the largest crowds for any event in Kentucky.
The châteauesque-style Pink Palace at Saint James & Belgravia Cts., and the beaux arts-style mansion at Belgravia Ct. & 4th St., should not be missed on a walking tour of the neighborhood. Tours are available seasonally through the Old Louisville Neighborhood and Visitors Center in Central Park and from other guides.
The St. James Court Neighborhood Association and the Belgravia Court Association manage the preservation and upkeep of Louisville’s most elegant neighborhood.
