Speed Exhibit Salutes Architect Hammon
October 15th, 2007 by Tre Pryor, Editor-in-Chief
Stratton Hammon, one of Louisville’s premiere architects died in 1997. His memory is now receiving some special attention in the form of an exhibit at Louisville’s Speed Art Museum.
The exhibit and book fill a gap in the existing history of Louisville’s marvelous array of housing stock, which runs from shotgun houses for working-class families in the California and Butchertown neighborhoods to the high-style Victorian, Beaux Arts, Renaissance Revival and Romanesque variations in Old Louisville, the Highlands, Crescent Hill and spreading to Pewee Valley.

History buffs and architects alike may want to take in this show. The exhibit starts tomorrow and runs through February 4th, 2008.
