The Kenyon Building was the first skyscraper in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. Standing six stories tall, the building was located on Fifth Street, between Main and Market Streets. The building was razed in 1974 and would eventually become the site of a much taller skyscraper, the Humana Building.
It was designed in the Chicago school style with Richardsonian Romanesque elements by architect Mason Maury for the Kentucky Conference of The Methodist Episcopal Church.
"I made all the plans for the Kenyon building with my own hands. No other architect, here or elsewhere, had anything whatever to do with them. Nother architect was consulted even. The only man who was consulted was Mr. Henning, whose enterprise erected the building. I made all the drawings and superintended the construction. When Mr. Henning proposed putting up the Kenyon, I suggested that we take a trip together, and see what they were doing in other cities. We visited several cities, New York and Chicago among them, and looked at their houses, but I made no drawings on this trip, and the building is not designed after anything we saw. It is entirely original in its plan. I suppose that the impression that I did not design the building grew out of the fact that a Chicago firm, for which my brother is the agent here, did the fire-proofing in the building, and put up a sign in the window to this effect, my brother's name appearing on this sign as agent. Then people confounded me with F.W. Maury. This fire-proofing, however, was but a small part of the cost of the house. Most of the contracts were let to Louisville people, who did the work. --Mason Maury, 1887"

The German Bank Building, known also as Louisville Home Federal Building, is a historic building in Downtown Louisville, Kentucky, United States. It is located on the corner of Fifth and Market streets. The two-story structure was built in 1914 in a Beaux-Arts style with a limestone facade. In 1918, the name of the building was changed to Louisville National Bank. This was during World War I when many institutions changed names to avoid association with Germany.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, for its architecture.

The Columbia Building, originally named the Commerce Building, was Louisville, Kentucky's second skyscraper, designed by Cornelius Curtin and completed in 1890 at a cost of $1 million. It was located at the northwest corner of Fourth and Main streets and built of pressed red brick in the Romanesque Revival style. It was built just five years after the world's first skyscraper, the Home Insurance Building in Chicago. It had 10 stories and a height of 162 feet.
The Columbia was first called the Commercial Club Building, and was the tallest building in Louisville for over a decade. It was demolished in 1966 as a part of a downtown redevelopment plan, and a 24-story highrise, now called the BB&T Building, was built on the site in 1972.
À l'origine, il portait le nom de First National Tower en référence à la banque First National Bank et fut renommé en National City Tower lorsque la banque fut rachetée par la National City Bank. Ses architectes se nomment Wallace Harrison et Max Abramovitz. En 1993, la tour fut détrônée par l'AEGON Center.
