The Alexander is located in the middle of Old Louisville, an historic district, preserved by the City of Louisville.
From the southern edge of downtown Louisville to the University of Louisville's Belknap Campus, Old Louisville is one of the city's most historic and exciting neighborhoods. Over 17,000 people, representing a wide spectrum of ages, incomes, races and lifestyles make Old Louisville their home. It is this diversity, as well as the attractiveness of its beautiful, turn-of-the-century Victorian homes, which make Old Louisville such an exciting place to live, work and play.
Old Louisville today is a story of urban revitalization. Within the heart of the city, Old Louisville contains three historic districts and numerous structures which are included on the National Register of Historic Places. Old Louisville is architecturally splendid. Examples of Victorian Gothic, Arts and Crafts, Richardsonian Romanesque, Queen Anne, Italianate, Chateauesque and Beaux Arts can be found in abundance. Leaded and stained-glass windows, turrets, gargoyles and wrought iron fences contribute to the elaborate detailing seen along Old Louisville's tree-lined streets.
