St. James Court
Top Louisville Attractions (c) 2008 Michael Maupin

St. James Court is a courtyard in Old Louisville surrounded by old, stately Victorian homes. It is the location of the annual St. James Art Fair, an event that draws more people to Louisville than the Kentucky Derby. The St. James Art Fair is an open-air art show and sale featuring more than 700 artists selling art in every medium imaginable. Proceeds of the St. James Art Fair go to preserving and restoring this historic Louisville neighborhood.

Also located within St. James Court is the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum. This historic Old Louisville home defines Richardsonian Romanesque architecture and has been preserved in its original splendor. It is now kept as a museum by the St. James Court Historic Foundation, and visitors to the area can tour the house for a small admission fee.
