The Brick House

The project contained groups in areas that worked with art, music, bike repairs, radio station,[1] photography, internet access, comics, gardening, power saving practices, entrepreneurship, a lending library, a free clothing closet, and maintenance of the building.

The Brycc House was born in 1999 when Bill Allison, a candidate for Third Ward Alderman, met with the staff of Brat Magazine to discuss their concerns about city government and youth issues.

The first BRYCC House building would be located on Bardstown Road (38°14′21.5″N 85°43′19.4″W / 38.239306°N 85.722056°W / 38.239306; -85.722056), the north end which is a major pedestrian-oriented commercial and residential district in Louisville.
