One of the most peculiar and charming sites in Louisville is a series of camelback shotgun houses which are hidden in the Butchertown neighborhood of Louisville. Peculiar, because as you go out the front door of one of these houses, down the few steps, over the lovely brick side walk and across the narrow street, you walk straight into a large concrete wall - a flood wall. The houses themselves, however, could not have more character. To me they are both a paradox (no view, but an amazing view) and a metaphor (If you have character, you can face anything). I love that about them.
