A notable Jefferson County contractor, Henry Frank (1873-1932) built his residence around 1920. Designed by noted Louisville architect, Arthur Loomis (1860-1935), it is an excellent example of colonial revival architecture. Utilizing naturally treated materials and horizontal massing for a relaxed country atmosphere, it showcases the expertise of these two men so prominent in the area's early 20th century construction.
