Charles Julian Clarke and Arthur Loomis designed many of Louisville’s most beautiful landmark buildings. From the J. B. Speed Art Museum and The Conrad – Caldwell House to the Levy’s Building (now The Old Spaghetti Factory) and Carter Dry Goods Building (now The Louisville Science Center), Clarke & Loomis were the pre-eminent Louisville architects for more than half a century. Their impact on Louisville is unmistakably huge. Fortunately, many of their distinguished designs still remain, but Clarke and Loomis themselves have not been extensively profiled or researched. Now, two of Kentucky’s most prominent architects and historians will focus on these two legendary architects and provide more details on how they shaped the city of Louisville today.

Steve Wiser is a Louisville architect and historian. Steve has written numerous books on local architecture and history including his recent book is “Louisville Tapestry” which features the people and places who helped create our city as one of America’s most livable cities. He also produced a DVD entitled “Louisville Landmarks & Legends”.

William B. Scott, Jr. is a noted Kentucky architectural historian, who has written and co-authored a number of books on Kentucky architecture. These publications include “A History of the Profession of Architecture in Kentucky”, “Kentucky Courthouses”, “The Kentucky Encyclopedia”, and “Architecture of the Old South: Kentucky and Tennessee”.

The Conrad – Caldwell House is considered one of Clarke and Loomis’s masterpieces, show-casing their unmistakable passion for design. Indeed the design of The Conrad – Caldwell House explored and laid a foundation for a fresh or idiosyncratic path for some of Louisville’s most magnificent monuments of architecture. William B Scott and Steve Wiser will explain why and how Clarke and Loomis and The Conrad – Caldwell House were instrumental in creating one of the United State’s most livable cities – Louisville.
