Louisville has many distinctive houses that make the city a great place in which to live. However, behind some of these distinctive houses are other houses that also are fascinating places to live. These smaller structures though housed both humans and animals. Known as 'carriage houses', these utilitarian residences were where the servants lived who supported the 'main house', along with the carriages and horses. Now, in 2016, these functions are long since gone by the wayside, and new functions like offices, inns, and single family houses have take their place. Steve Wiser and Dan Madryga have documented these interesting architectural gems in this book. It is a combination of history of a bygone era and new modern design.
