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.

Such amazing history, a must see spot ! Right off a main road but there is parking nearby !read more

The need to create is very wholesome and pure, and I love that people do it in public spaces for other people to enjoy for free. When I visited Jeffersonville a few months ago, I came across this area that had a lot of public art everywhere -- The Depot at NoCo. The temperature outside was about 17 degrees, but I got out of my car and looked at the art and took photos until my fingers were freezing. This area has many colorful, beautiful murals, a story walk, and space to congregate. There were zero people around when I was there, which makes sense because it was the winter and the temperature was below freezing. But I imagine that in the warmer months, this place is hoppin'.

Very wide and spacious area that they have painted up and gotten creative with. They have taken old storage containers and fixed up and created places to climb on and play or hang out. Fit in perfectly with the bright and vibrant arts that surround it in the NoCo district. Entrances can be found in the rear from the alley and this is located directly across the street from another awesome open play space called Picasso pointe. One of my favorite things about Thai place is the really cool moon mural they have located on the rear wall near the entrances. With the open space and the all the storage containers to climb it provided ample of fun opportunities when I brought my daughters, nephews and niece here to play. They got a giant game of freeze tag going and had a blast. I did some research at the time on what I'd to come for the depot and some of the shipping containers will actually become retail space for local artists and the big are in the center will become a full service bar area. So This space has unlimited potential and I think will be become super trendy and popular. Overall extremely cool place. The whole NoCo area is exciting and so creative and fun for adults and kids.

The sculpture stands about 12' tall and took the artist about a month to complete. Standing upon a colorful base that has symbols representing the neighborhoods of Jeffersonville, four colorful oxen stand tail to tail so that their horns face outward on all sides which in Aesop's Fable, kept the lion from eating them. On the statue, the lion sits upon backs of the oxen as a foreshadowing of their eventual fate. According to Aesop, the oxen were okay until they argued and went to different parts of the pasture where the lion was able to pick them off one by one. The image is meant to suggest that through unity, great things can be accomplished that individuals alone cannot achieve. The statue is placed at the gateway to the NoCo Arts and Cultural District.
