The Louisville masterpiece of architect William J. Dodd, this complex of Collegiate Gothic buildings has served the city as an educational institution for more than half a century, first as the Presbyterian Theological Seminary and now as part of the campus of state-owned Jefferson Community College. The buildings stood vacant only a few years between removal of the Seminary to a suburban campus and purchase in 1966 for renovation as a contemporary college facility.
Constructed over a seven-year period from 1903 to 1909, the buildings have long received recognition as one of Louisville's architectural showpieces. …
The Presbyterian Theological Seminary was formed in 1901, the result of the consolidation of the Danville Seminary (founded by the Northern Church in 1853) and the Louisville Seminary (founded by the Southern Church in 1893). It is the only school in the United States jointly owned by the two branches of the Presbyterian Church. …
