Basil Doerhoefer House is a Colonial Revival house located at 4432 West Broadway in Louisville, Kentucky. It was built in 1902, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] The residence was the home of wealthy tobacco merchant and business leader, Basil Doerhoefer. He was the most important real estate developer in this part of the West End, acquiring large tracts of land along Broadway as early as 1890 and later sub-dividing it.[1][2][3]
Basil Doerhofer built a house next door for his son Peter C. Doerhoefer: The Peter C. Doerhoefer House was locally landmarked in 2011 by the Louisville Metro Historic Landmarks and Preservation Districts Commission and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, as a significant example of turn-of-the-century architecture in the West Broadway area. This house is one of the largest and most monumentally detailed of the American Four-squares in Louisville. This residence was built in 1908 for Peter C. Doerhoefer, vice-president of the Monarch Tobacco Works and son of Basil Doerhoefer. The land was actually part of the same lot where the elder Doerhoefer had built his magnificent home several years earlier. All of this land and both houses were sold to Loretto High School in 1925. It is now owned by Christ Temple Apostolic Church.[4][5]
Prior to moving to the Basil Doerhoefer House on Broadway the Doerhoefers lived in the Doerhoefer-Hampton House at 2422 West Chestnut Street in Louisville.[6]
