Roots of the Louisville Bourbon Inn are nearly as deep as Kentucky Bourbon itself. Located at 1332 South Fourth Street in Old Louisville, the Inn was the 1887 home of Russell  Houston, then President of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. The 8,800 square foot, six-bedroom mansion once housed the large Houston family, their governess and multiple servants. It has been the Inn at the Park Bed and Breakfast for the past 35 years and has now been reborn as The Louisville Bourbon Inn.
