This small excerpt from the 1908 Sanborn map shows that at that time, the building on the south side of <br />Lot 10 (724 Main) was still a dwelling, and the building on the north side of Lot 10 (728 Main) was for <br />"Billiards & Bowling Alley," which is consistent with the usage of the property indicated in other records: <br />14" - <br />1,•. j , , i <br />3 <br />As this map excerpt shows, the bowling alley extended the building all the way to the alley to the east. <br />(The 1909 Drumm's Wall Map of Louisville, which was completed just one year after the 1908 Sanborn <br />map, for unknown reasons shows only the building on the south side of the lot. Faint erasures on the <br />map where the north building would have been indicated suggest that perhaps the map is incomplete <br />with respect to this property. Other evidence satisfactorily shows that the long bowling alley existed at <br />this location both immediately before 1909 and immediately after 1909, so it would most certainly have <br />also been there in 1909.) <br />The following photo shows the property in about 1915, at the time when it was likely owned by the <br />Thompsons. It appears that the building on the north says "Pool Hall & Bowling Alley" on the front. The <br />building at 724 Main has always been slightly shorter in height than the building at 728 Main. <br />6 <br />
