Title	Heigold House, Louisville, Kentucky, 1936.
Description	Heigold House, home of G.W. Huber, engraver, 264 Marion Street, Louisville, Kentucky. Close-up of the Heigold House, taken from a low height and on the left diagonal. Two-story compact limestone house with a projecting entryway housing a door inside flush with the house, which has a window on each side of the door and three windows on the second floor. Above the entrance are the words "George Washington, the first president of the United States, the man whose greatness has never been surpassed, to whom Americans thank their freedom and the world owes its love and esteem." Above the writing is a section of marble embossed with people in the center and ribboned garlands with stars in them at the sides. Above that is a portrait of George Washington, then a second story window, then a bust. Between the left first and second story windows, within a square, is a slightly larger marble garland with "Th. Lamlein" written in the center. The Heigold House was built by Christian Heigold, a German immigrant and stonecutter, between 1857 and 1866, in an area known as The Point (now part of Butchertown). The house was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
