The Kenyon Building was the first skyscraper in Louisville, Kentucky, United States.

It was designed in the Chicago school style with Richardsonian Romanesque elements by architect Mason Maury for the Kentucky Conference of The Methodist Episcopal Church.

When Mr. Henning proposed putting up the Kenyon, I suggested that we take a trip together, and see what they were doing in other cities.

We visited several cities, New York and Chicago among them, and looked at their houses, but I made no drawings on this trip, and the building is not designed after anything we saw.

I suppose that the impression that I did not design the building grew out of the fact that a Chicago firm, for which my brother is the agent here, did the fire-proofing in the building, and put up a sign in the window to this effect, my brother's name appearing on this sign as agent.
