Kenyon Building

The Kenyon Building was the first skyscraper in Louisville, Kentucky, standing six stories tall.[1] It was located on Fifth Street, between Main and Market Streets. The building was razed in 1974 and would eventually become the site of the Humana Building.

Not to be confused with Kenyon's Department Store.

It was designed in the Chicago school style with Richardsonian Romanesque elements, and opened in 1886. The architect was Mason Maury.[2]
