236 Main Street

 

Louisville Hotel.

Before the saloon and restaurant located at 236 Main Street was operated by Robert Cain in 1873, it was known as Kohlhepp's Exchange. The saloon was attached to the Louisville Hotel. Kohlhepp operated the restaurant and turf exchange as an off-track betting parlor.
