Butchertown resident Edna Kubala, drawing on University of Louisville archives, church records, and private collections, traces her East Louisville neighborhood from its 1834 start as the Bourbon Stock Yard through its century as the city’s meatpacking district.
Previously unpublished photos cover local landmarks like the Oertel Brewery and Vernon Lanes bowling alley (running since 1886), along with the 1937 and 1945 floods and the interstate construction that reshaped the area in the 1960s.
