Historic Preservation Overlay District

The Historic District of Ludlow, Kentucky contains an excellent collection of early 19th century through early 20th century urban house styles and commercial buildings. The area is significant not only for its quality and quantity of architecture but also for its display of the evolution of styles during the development of the city. Commercial and residential structures can be found in all types of architectural styles, including Victorian, Italianate, Queen Anne, Stick, Shingle, Craftsman, American Foursquare, Bungalow, and simple vernacular. The purpose of the Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) is to review and recommend approval, approval with conditions or denial of projects within certain zoning districts, and buildings. ​
