[ [http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/listings/20071221.HTM National Register of Historic Places Listings ] ] Built in 1912, it was owned by Emil Von Allmen, a Louisville dairy leader. It was described as "the last vestige of a well-known dairy farm" ["Old Brownsboro Crossing house up for historic register", "Louisville Courier-Journal", November 30, 2007]

The house is of Bungalow/Craftsman style, 1.5 stories high, with Neo-classical detailing.

Eventually, the consolidation of dairy farming caused the farm to stop producing. Of the original convert|226|acre|km2, only convert|4|acre|m2 remain of the property, with the rest consumed by Louisville sprawl.
