Statement of Significance Although this property's historical and architectural significance is probably not to the extent that would qualify it for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the property does have sufficient significance and integrity to qualify as a contributing property within a potential National Register historic district. The property is significant, relative to National Register Criterion A, for its association with the Mossoni family and their contributions to downtown Louisville's socioeconomic development. The secondary residence, garage, and shed, all date from the period of significance, and all display excellent historical integrity. These buildings should also be considered as contributing resources within a potential downtown Louisville historic district. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: The Carnival House's integrity has been compromised to some extent by the alteration of several window openings, by the application of stucco, and by an addition to the rear of the original house.
