Bed and Breakfast Description

We invite you to come and stay at The Samuel Culbertson Mansion historic bed and breakfast inn on your next visit to Louisville. This Georgian Revival mansion is located in the heart of the Old Louisville National Historic District, near downtown Louisville, the University of Louisville and Churchill Downs. Pamper yourself with the opulence of the Gilded Age, and enjoy a piece of traditional Kentucky in this former home of a President of Churchill Downs and the "Two Little Knights of Kentucky".

The mansion was built between 1896 and 1897, at a cost of $25,000, designed by the renowned Minneapolis architect William Channing Whitney among whose many other notable buildings include the Minnesota Governor's Mansion and the Minnesota Building at the Columbia Exposition World's Fair of 1893.

The Culbertson home is built in the style of the Georgian Revival, which in turn derives from the Italian Renaissance palazzo, faithfully reproducing the lines, dimensions and even the colors of traditional Florentine architecture. The finer brickwork continues along both sides of the house.

Located in the heart of America's largest Victorian historic district, the mansion has rich woodwork, massive beamed ceilings, a historic ladies' parlor, a ballroom, a drawing room, and a formal courtyard with a fountain and over 100 varieties of roses.

Be sure to stay with us and see America's largest Victorian neighborhood!
