CLIFTON, LOUISVILLE

'Clifton', a neighborhood east of downtown Louisville, Kentucky USA. Clifton was named because of its hilly location on the Ohio River valley escarpment.
Unike other Louisville neighborhoods, Clifton was developed over a period of 60 years, with the first homes built in the 1860s sitting next to homes built in the 1910s, although nearly all homes were built in Victorian styles. The Louisville and Lexington toll pike, which is now called Frankfort Avenue, went through the heart of the area and was lined with small shops.
The area began to revitalize in the 1990s, as restaurants and antique shops opened up along Frankfort Avenue. Area attractions include the Kentucky School for the Blind and American Printing House for the Blind.
Clifton is bounded by I-64, N Ewing Ave, Brownsboro Road, and Mellwood Ave.
