MAIN STREET & COURTHOUSE SQUARE
|
|
The character of Main Street is largely defined by the active CSX Railroad, the Courthouse Square and the accompanying turn of the century commercial buildings. When railroad and city officials platted the railroad tracks in 1847, they did not foresee the future implications of routing a main rail line down the middle of Main Street |
|
The Oldham County Courthouse’s (Circa 1875) Renaissance Revival styling is reflected in its rectangular shape, projecting central bay, central pediment and cupola. The stately County Courthouse anchors the Courthouse Square that is graced by an expansive lawn and large shade trees. |

On the Courthouse Square is the Veterans Memorial that commemorates those who served in our nation’s armed services. There is also a Police Memorial dedicated to our two “Fallen Heroes” – William Porter and Eddie Mundo, Jr. |
Commercial buildings along Main Street reflect the predominant architectural styles of the 1875 to 1930 time period in small Kentucky cities. The commercial buildings house a mixture of craft, antique and collectible shops, in addition to restaurants, personal service businesses and professional offices. |
|
|
The entire collection of Main Street’s commercial buildings contributes to the historic character of La Grange. One of the most notable historic commercial buildings located along Main Street is the Sauer Building. |
Due to a destructive series of fires from 1860 to 1910, the Sauer Building (Circa 1815) is the only remaining example of a complete Victorian commercial building in La Grange. |
|
The first floor of the Sauer Building, until recently, contained a hardware store and is now the home of Laser Technology. At one time, the second floor contained La Grange’s opera house. The second floor opera house still retains much of its original character and historic detailing. The opera house served as a place for musical productions, plays, school graduations, meetings, skating parties and basketball games until a school gymnasium was constructed in 1912.
