Who are those faces on the old Manual High School?
Update: 2025-06-16
Description
At the corner of Brook and Oak Streets in Old Louisville sits a building that started out as the duPont Manual Training High School, back in 1892. When Dan Trabue moved to the neighborhood around 25 years ago, he noticed something curious near the building's roofline: six round medallions, each with a face staring out over the neighborhood. "I was curious who they were and I couldn't really see them that well," Dan says. "I asked around a little bit and looked online, didn't find anything, and I've tried a couple times and then eventually gave up." Until he sent his question to Curious Louisville. Dan is a Manual High alum, and so were his dad and grandpa. And so is LPM's Breya Jones, who saw his quandary and decided to help find some answers.
