Phoenix Hill is a neighborhood just east of Downtown Louisville in the Highlands area of Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Its boundaries are Market Street to the north, Preston Street to the west, Broadway to the south, and Baxter Avenue to the east. The Phoenix Hill neighborhood, settled before 1850 by German immigrants, is now a rich tapestry of people and a diverse mix of business, industry and residences. The neighborhood includes: * a large Medical District * a thriving arts district * a thriving entertainment district * social service agencies & agencies that serve the homeless * small family businesses and larger industry * single-family homes, market-rate apartment complexes and subsidized housing complexes * new and historic churches It is a neighborhood of mixed but compatible uses. Much of the residential part of the neighborhood is included in the National Historic District. ==History== The area was originally known as Preston's Enlargement, part of the land granted to Colonel William Preston in 1774. The area was annexed by Louisville in 1827, known at the time as Uptown, and was densely populated by the time of the Civil War. Some of the Bloody Monday riots occurred in Phoenix Hill near the St. Martin of Tours church. A triangular portion of the neighborhood bounded by Beargrass Creek was not developed at all before the Civil War. Though a park was built in 1865, most of the land was not developed until the 1890s. An important local business still continuing in 2006, in one way or another, was the Phoenix Hill Brewery, established in 1865, which also established the nearby park. Orators including William Jennings Bryan and Teddy Roosevelt spoke there before it was closed (partially because of Prohibition) in 1919. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phoenix Hill, Louisville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
