What's behind the door? Louisville's true mystery

[@HaileeLuvsLiberty]

This news anchor is so nice he gave me $10 one time for giving him a table at a restaurant 😭😂😭😭 love it

[@Captain-ln3vh]

I’m positive it’s a great place for a pub. Nothing says drinks and food like a secret stone cavern.

[@Scotsmanthebedbug]

I used to pass this door all the time as a kid on my way to Walden Theatre

[@miriamshippmann7638]

Wow, I too always wanted to know. I always that it was the entrance to someone’s storm shelter or a root cellar.

[@jasonrodgers9063]

Years ago I built a deck atop the hill for the next-door neighbors to the East. Cool area!

[@aprilflynn]

Most likely it was for cold storage of some sort. Beer storage makes sense.

[@darrellgenton]

My Father's Father and His Uncle Marc Louis Genton and A Louis Genton Started Crab Orchard Whiskey in the early 1900's in Lincoln County I remember My Dad Ernest Genton when we passed that location he said that they did store beer there he told me that back in 1988 .

Looks just like “The Cave” did in Frankfort which also was originally for the Sig lucher Brewery. Somebody should be able to track the deed back at the clerks office and see who owned it. It’s likely post civil war construction so the record should exist.

[@boss-anova]

Pretty Obvious its for military or food storage. We have a few of them all over new england.

[@thelittlelenora]

I believe the structure to be much older than stated here. History is re-written. Things are not the way we have been told.

patient zero of the Knox Event is contained in there

I'm 99 percent sure that this place was a music venue for bands at one point back in the day

[@theradiantchild]

If it wasn't, it should be. So rad!

[@pagman798]

It has the worst acoustic for a band to play in.

[@dmunz7015]

@@pagman798 Hard time seeing this as a music venue, a brick cavern would have horrendous acoustics.

[@rapman5791]

Should have called Geraldo Rivera to make entry and put it on prime time nationwide. Think of the advertising dollars the station could have made. 😂😂😂

I want to see some history on dosker manor. I tried looking up old photos old pictures old films I want to see what it look like back in the early seventies and maybe the eighties but I can't find anything on it.

[@GregorySingleton-p2k]

Dosker Manor was well-known respected complex for senior citizens and was finished in 1971. Things began to change in the nineties. Matter of fact, when they began demolition the projects, that's when things got worse.

[@patriciakarsner-nation4104]

That's super neat!

[@Oneeyedhistorian]

Most of what I have found and historians I’ve talked to mostly agree it was probably a liquor store during the prohibition.

[@rapman5791]

If the door was green we would know exactly what was behind it 😉 #IvorySnowgirl

Look up a subject called Meltology on KZbin and if you pay attention you will understand what you are looking at.

[@MegaFrankgarcia]

I enjoyed the story but it was pretty lazy reporting. Why did you bring in a Beer Brewer & not an architect. Why not ask the Opinion of a historian in archaic structures instead of Joe Biden Owens. Great Piece, now i have to go pry the door open.
