The following photo of 917 Rex is one of three that were taken in 2017 by a Monarch High School student as part of a photography project to photograph Frenchtown homes for the Louisville Historical Museum: The County lists Michael Talbot Wilt and Diane M. Serpe as being the current owners. Past Architectural Survey According to the 2018 report "Stories in Places: Putting Louisville's Residential Development in Context" (Microsoft Word - Final Louisville Residential Context 111918 (louisvilleco.gov)), written by PaleoWest Archaeology for the City of Louisville, 917 Rex is an example of the Bungalow style. It stated, "The Bungalow form is the second -most common style or form of single-family residence in Louisville's historical subdivisions. In general, these kinds of houses appear to be some of the least -modified in modern times. Yet, a smaller percentage (69 percent) of Bungalows have been documented in Louisville than any other nineteenth-century style or form." PaleoWest then went on to recommend that the "stucco example at 917 Rex" be one of the houses for the City of Louisville to document (page 148). PaleoWest then did document this house as part of a later survey project currently being finalized. The preceding research is based on a review of relevant and available online County property records, census records, oral history interviews, Louisville directories, and Louisville Historical Museum maps, files, and obituary records. 4
