Starks Building, Beaux-Arts office building in Downtown Louisville, United States
The Starks Building rises 14 stories with cream-colored bricks and classical decorations including acanthus leaves, lion heads, and urns at Fourth Street and Muhammad Ali Boulevard.
Designed by Daniel Burnham's firm in 1913, the building expanded in 1926 with an additional wing that transformed its U-shape into a rectangular structure with a central sunlight well.
The building represents early 20th-century commercial architecture in Louisville, combining Chicago School and Beaux-Arts design principles in its monumental presence.
The structure contains 350,000 square feet of space and connects directly to Fourth Street Live, positioning it at the center of Louisville's commercial district.
Developer Jeff Underhill plans to convert the building into 264 apartments with dedicated studio spaces and galleries for local artists through a $100 million investment.
