Preserve America Community:
Anchorage, Kentucky
Anchorage (population 2,264) is located near Louisville and was founded in the 1840s. In 1914, the city council commissioned the Olmsted Brothers Firm of Brookline, Massachusetts, to help guide the community's growth. The plan resulted in a community with distinct park-like features such as stone bridges, curved narrow roads, and triangle intersections.
In partnership with Evergreen Real Estate LLC and the Downtown Planning Committee, the City of Anchorage is working to implement a master plan and design guidelines for the Anchorage Town Center and adjoining commercial properties to ensure that proposed redevelopment will maintain the community's unique historic buildings and plan.
