Encyclopedia
The Von Allmen Dairy Farm House in Louisville, Kentucky
was placed on the National Register of Historic Places
on December 11, 2007. 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"
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 acre (0.91459036 km²), only 4 acres (16,187.4 m²) remain of the property, with the rest consumed by Louisville sprawl.
