 SHELTER HOUSE FOR THE BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY 



At a cost of $5,695 each, the Board of Park Commissioners of Louisville constructed in 1924 two shelter houses 

 of similar design and construction. Each house is built of brick laid on a foundation of concrete with all exterior 

 walls of rough texture faced brick of mingled shades of brown. The doors and other outside half timber work are 

 of rough cypress stained a warm brown, with frames and sashes of ivory tint. The roof is of red shingle tile and 

 all gutters and outside metal of copper. This reduces the upkeep to a minimum. The toilets have tile floors and 

 walls with cement plaster ceilings sand finished. All plumbing fixtures are of the best, and special attention has 

 been given to the provision of adequate light and ventilation. The rooms for the grounds keeper and for imple- 

 ments are plastered, with cement floors. The floor of the pavilion is cement with borders of red mastic marked off 

 to form tiles.
