Check out this short clip of downtown Louisville, featuring the courthouse and city hall on Jefferson St., as well as footage of the Louisville streetcar system in action. This material was filmed by Judge Arthur E. Hopkins during the winter of 1933. Hopkins was a Louisville attorney and judge who had a passion for film and photography. Portions of his film collection, which resides at the Filson Historical Society (www.filsonhistorical.org), have been preserved through grants from the National Film Preservation Foundation (www.filmpreservation.org), and through generous donations by the public.
The Filson welcomes any comments you may have about the footage!
