Werne's Row

Werne's Row is a row of five nearly identical Châteauesque mansions in the Old Louisville neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The houses were built for Joseph Werne, a prominent jeweler and antiques dealer, in 1897.[1] Werne and his wife lived in the house overlooking the corner of 4th & Hill, while Dr. William Wathen resided in the blue house bordering Belgravia Court.[2] The interiors of the houses were designed by Claude Balfour, while the exteriors were "intrusted to Mr. F. W. Mowbray", who also designed Louisville's Union Station.[3]

All five homes are very similar in style except for small ornamental features. Although only one foot apart, none of the houses touch. A private park for the Wernes existed behind the five houses; it has since become a parking lot for the Belgravia Court Association.

Three of the homes are subdivided into apartments, while the other two remain single-family dwellings.
