Sponsored by Dinsmore and Shohl, LLP.Many in Louisville say they have always wondered about Architect James Gaffney’s house on River Road, and what the house might look like on the inside. After remaining unoccupied since 1979, the Gaffney House underwent a total renovation from 2020 to 2023, with the goals of retaining and restoring the immense character of the home while making updates to its structure, mechanical systems, kitchen, and bathrooms. Architects Adriane Riesser and Kathryn Curtis from WorK Architecture + Design will present photos of the house throughout the renovation process, as well as discuss the technical updates that make the house modern and comfortable. They will also share historical photos of the interior and review how decisions were made to harmonize new tile, paint, and light fixtures to the original style of the home. WorK Architecture + Design worked in collaboration with owner Dr. Galen Weiss and Wilkinson Builders to renovate and modernize the historic Gaffney House.
