11 Lost Kentucky Street Corner Sights You May Remember Before They Vanished

Kentucky’s old street photographs contain buildings that once needed no explanation: a hotel opposite a theater, a market filled with trade, or a courthouse that made the town square instantly recognizable. Their loss changed more than a skyline. It changed the landmarks people used to describe where they were going.

Kentucky landmark sold: What's next for Frankfort's Capital Plaza Hotel

A Central Kentucky landmark is about to get a major makeover after 40 years. The Capital Plaza Hotel on Wilkinson Boulevard announced that it is now under new ownership with a multimillion-dollar renovation in the works. Franklin DevCo, which was organized in 2024 by Georget T. Underhill III, purchased the hotel in December 2024 for $7 million. The 163-room property will be renovated using $33 million in industrial revenue bonds issued through Franklin County and the Franklin County school system. The property also has been awarded a potential $7.5 million in historic tax credits as well as $1.4 million in state tourism tax incentives, according to a spokesperson. The hotel is planning a spring 2027 debut. The update will include a multilevel penthouse, a new grand ballroom and about 25,000 square feet of meeting and event space, according to a news release. The project also will include two new restaurants and a lobby bar. “We know people in Frankfort have a personal connection to this hotel, and we take that responsibility seriously,” said Colin Underhill, representing Franklin DevCo, in a statement. “Our focus is on getting the details right and making improvements that people will appreciate for years to come.

MSD wants to expand along Louisville's last living waterway. Can it handle the strain? | Exclusive

Emerging from a nearby overpass over Floyds Fork, a young Nick Hart brushed past dewy banks and launched his canoe into the current. Hart said he would frequently float from one overpass to the next with his fishing line, no matter the season, often enlisting a friend to help him exit downstream. Some days, he'd stand in the gently flowing water at ease. But Hart said the Floyds Fork he knew as a child feels "increasingly distant." He won't step in the creek anymore if he has cuts on his feet, concerned about the bacteria that could lie beneath the surface. Unlike Louisville's urban streams – constricted into concrete channels and showing scars from a century of abuse – Floyds Fork is often extolled by advocates as the city's last natural, living waterway. It flows for 62 miles from Henry to Bullitt County, brushing past the city and emptying into the Salt River. The Fork serves as a backdrop for rare biodiversity while also functioning as a well-loved recreational space . But the watershed has seen a wave of development as builders eye the land, while Louisville struggles to draw residents and build housing in its urban core. Thousands of
