Bonnycastle, Louisville

The family began subdividing land on present day Sherwood Avenue in 1872, though widespread development didn't begin until Cherokee Park was opened and a street car line moved out Bardstown Road to the area in the 1890s.

Most of the neighborhood was developed by 1912, but one remaining parcel was a 12-acre (49,000 m2) bell-shaped tract, the site of the original mansion, which had been converted to a school.

The Spring Drive mansions, recognizable by their 200-foot (61 m) front yards, are perched atop large hills.

Closer to the park, along Cherokee, Casselberry and Sulgrave Roads, strict deed restrictions encouraged larger houses.

These portions of the neighborhood display a mix of Victorian and historical revival styles, as well as scattered Craftsman bungalows.
