METHODS <br />MEETINGS WITH CITY REPRESENTATIVES <br />PaleoWest began work on this historic context by meeting with City of Louisville Planning <br />Department staff member, Lauren Trice, and Louisville Historical Museum (Museum or LHM) <br />director, Bridget Bacon, on October 27, 2016. Dr. Schwendler also conducted a walking tour of <br />Louisville's historic downtown and residential areas with Ms. Trice and met with her to discuss <br />the project on several subsequent occasions. Dr. Schwendler presented a summary of the <br />proposed historic contexts project to the Louisville Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) on <br />November 21, 2016. <br />PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE <br />On March 3, 2017, PaleoWest helped City staff host an interactive open house at City Hall to <br />inform the public about the historic contexts project and to solicit stories and information about <br />Louisville's residential, commercial, and industrial development (Figure 2). We provided <br />numerous, diverse key words (e.g., "History," "Recent," "Future," "1970s," "2010s") and asked <br />members of the public to write down stories and thoughts that came to mind as a result. We also <br />asked the public to fill in open-ended statements (e.g., "I think the <br />house/building/place is important because:") and to write down their favorite building (Figure 3). <br />1 <br />Figure 2.
