The Point, Louisville

Starting in the 1840s it was home to many upper income residents who had moved from New Orleans, giving the area on Fulton Street the nickname "the Frenchmen's Row".

In 1854 many houses were demolished when Beargrass Creek was rerouted from its original outflow near 4th Street in downtown Louisville to its current location through the area.

The park was severely disrupted by the construction of I-64 in the early 1960s and by the 1980s, it was in a neglected and dismal state.

The first is the decorated front facade of the Heigold House, which originated in the former Ohio Street neighborhood's Marion Street (present location of the Waterfront Botanical Gardens).

Secondly, the Paget House, the last remaining of the riverfront mansions along Fulton Street.
