When you doom scroll, you come across many different places that are true hidden gems. Door To Nowhere, or Heigold House, is definitely an oddity and salute to the past. Some housekeeping, you know, things to know about this place. BE CAREFUL. This sits on a roundabout island with steady traffic. Be mindful to the traffic flow and businesses nearby (I parked at a nearby business off the road and walked over here). Be kind to the natural beauty that surrounds this. And most of all, be respectful. As I said, this sits on a roundabout with flowerbeds surrounding it. Whether you are facing front, as in looking at the front of the façade, or looking from the rear, please stay on the sidewalks provided. Take in the informational plaques as well. Built by Christian H Heigold, a successful stonecutter. Majority of the house was completed in 1853. Heigold was a master at stonecutting and completed the home with busts of Presidents George Washington and James Buchanan. Heigold was also a staunch opponent of the 'Know Nothing Party,' and anti-immigration political party and I would like to think that he built his house with all the busts was a big middle finger to those that were anti-immigration. This façade sat in what was known as the The Point neighborhood, which was favored by those that moved to the city from the New Orleans area. Once Louisville diverted the Beargrass Creek away from downtown, this place started to flood annually. Shifting people away from the neighborhood and then the Great Flood of 1937 happened. Slowly the city started buying houses and demolishing them. Ultimately using the land as a dump site. Then this façade was listed on the National Registry of Historical Places. Remained in that area which became Thruston Park. That is until a developer bought the land adjacent to this and build condos. They moved this massive beast, 70,000-pounds, across River Road to where it sits today.

The six scenes are: the hookah smoking caterpillar; Alice holding her cat, with the Cheshire Cat in the background; the Queen of Hearts' frog servants; the Queen of Hearts; the Mad Hatter; and the White Rabbit. It's a beautiful mural and love the bright colors. It is probably my favourite mural in Louisville. [Yelp collections: Louisville/Indianapolis 2023; Louisville, KY 2023; Public Art]

You're important to the future is a great thought process and even cooler display of public art.

I'll take a slight commission for any photographers who use this idea ;).

Everyone knows Kentucky and Louisvile specifically is horse racing country so this large mural down the art factory is a good representation of the area. Nulu marketplace is a combined common area that is the home of a few popular Nulu hot spots. Including Emmy squared pizza. The best way to find this mural is to walk either behind the buildings or walk through the marketplace area and out the back where the parking lot is and you can't miss it. Overall a great addition to not only eh Nulu art scene but the Louisville art scene. Great job by the artists as well. I think it will be a really popular photo op for locals and tourists.
