Bellevoir-Ormsby Village

The Bellevoir-Ormsby Village features Italianate architectural elements with a 2.5-story brick construction and multiple ornamental details throughout the exterior and interior spaces.

Hamilton Ormsby constructed this residence in 1867, and the property later transformed into a children's home facility known as the Parental Home and School in 1912.

The mansion and surrounding property served as a significant children's care facility, merging with the Louisville Industrial School of Reform to create the Louisville and Jefferson County Children's Home.

Visitors can reach Bellevoir through Hurstbourne Parkway via Ormsby Station Road, with the property maintaining six acres of grounds in the Hurstbourne Green office park.

The University of Louisville conducts ghost investigations in this building, which sits on land that formerly included a private railroad terminal called Ormsby Station.
