Size of Collection: 2.66 cubic feet (in 3 ovsz. boxes)
Locator Number: Mss. AR L888
Scope and Content Note
The collection is comprised of 217 architectural plans of L&N buildings that include but are not limited to drawings of: combination stations, passenger stations, freight depots, offices, telegraph stations; as well as houses for watchmen, oil, baggage, and ice. This collection also contains a small selection of drawings that cannot be defined as architectural plans, but rather fall under the category of maps, finished drawings, and signage. Remaining drawings include details of interior finishes.
The majority of plans in this collection date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and, due to their timelines, are uniquely positioned to illuminate the rapid changes happening not only within the railroad industry but also the concurring social and technological changes.
Plans from Kentucky highlight the expansion of rail in directions both eastward and westward of Louisville as well as plans for Louisville proper. Louisville drawings of particular interest include Union Station drawings for both pre- and post-fire construction. Notable also are: drawings for a train shed and platform erected specifically for use during the Southern Exposition, South Louisville shop buildings, and interior details of ornate detailing found within both Union Station and the 9th Street office. Also of significant importance are the plans for the carriage porch and train sheds of Union Station. Like the station itself, some sources attribute these sheds to Henry Wolters. This attribution is difficult to discern as there is little information available on the sheds alone as compared with the main station. Regardless of architect, these sheds represent a typical, though not unremarkable, American train shed style of the 1880s. Its style of truss is known as “bent girder” and Louisville’s station featured a total span of 100 ft., a maximum height of 50 ft. and a length of 400 ft.
Drawings of Alabama and Tennessee plans are also included in this collection and highlight the L&N’s southbound movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The oldest plan of this collection, an 1879 engine house, is found within the Alabama records, as are records that depict equally-sized segregated waiting rooms, which differs from many of the Tennessee waiting rooms, which tended to utilize a smaller space for minorities. Many of Tennessee’s records represent the cities of Nashville, Ridgetop, and Portland. An image of the completed Ridgetop station can be found within the Filson’s Photograph Collection (AL-019).
Others points of interest include the signatures of various L&N figures, such as F.W. Mowbray and Frederick R. De Funiak. In total, approximately 70 plans contain initials of either their creator and/or approver.
Made of waxed linen, the majority of plans are in excellent condition. In plans that do show signs of wear and/or damage, these issues are confined to the edges of the project rolls and should be carefully re-rolled, minding to roll the damaged portion first rather than leaving the tattered edges exposed on the outer of the roll.

Historical and Biographical Notes
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company:
Chartered on March 5, 1850 by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company (hereafter L&N) set out to “…to build a line railroad between Louisville and the Tennessee state line in the direction of Nashville.” On December 4, 1851, an act of the Tennessee General Assembly authorized the company to extend its road from Tennessee to Nashville.
During the summer of 1853 crews began surveying and clearing routes south of Louisville. In 1855 the $3 million necessary to finance the construction had been raised by the founders themselves—many of them Louisville businessmen. With funding secure, progress on the track line continued and by August 25, 1853 the first eight miles of track was complete. To celebrate passengers rode the line out, taking a total of 27 minutes and back which shaved off seven minutes on the return trip.
Progress was slow due to difficult passages between Louisville and Nashville. Challenges like Muldraugh Hill and Tennessee Ridge, both of which required labor-intensive tunneling. The Green and Cumberland Rivers also presented obstacles, as bridges had to be spanned over both but despite these and other obstacles, the railway prevailed. Six years and $7,221,204.91 later the track from Louisville to Nashville line was complete.
On October 27, 1859 the first train left Louisville, Kentucky and arrived 187 miles later in Nashville, Tennessee. Four days later, regularly-scheduled L&N trains began running—and would keep running—until 1976.
In 1971, and at the height of its growth, L&N operated sixty five hundred route miles of main and secondary lines in thirteen Midwestern and Southern states and ranked as the sixteenth-largest railroad. Lines extended from Louisville to: Chicago, Cincinnati, Lexington (eastern Kentucky), Corbin (Southeastern Kentucky), Nashville-Golf Coast and Evansville-St. Louis.
Given its quick and far-reaching growth, the L&N proved to be one of Louisville’s largest employers; in 1901, L&N’s working population was 20,053 persons and just 25 years later, in 1926, that number had more than doubled to 53,029.

Architects and Engineers:
Albert Fink (1827-1897) was born in Lauterbach, Germany and studied engineering and architecture at the Polytechnic School of Darmstadt before immigrating to the United States in 1849. From his beginnings as a draftsman for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Fink’s career quickly accelerated; by 1852 Fink had become principle assistant to the B&O Chief of Engineering and created what would become an industry-standard truss design—the Fink truss— one which would replace the standard ‘Bollman Truss’. Five years later, and at the age of 30, Fink was recruited by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. He became Chief Engineer in 1859, shortly after designing the first combination freight and passenger station for the Louisville and Nashville; this first combination station consisted of six track and three platforms. After the Civil War, Fink was named general superintendent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Around this same time he designed and supervised the construction of the original bridge that spanned the Ohio River at 14th street in Louisville. The bridge was completed in 1870 and would serve as a major connection between South and North railway lines. The 14th Street Bridge was replaced in 1918. Fink would go on the serve as a Vice President for the Louisville and Nashville. He died on April 3, 1897 and is buried in Louisville’s Cave Hill Cemetery.
Colonel Frederick R. De Funiak (1839-1905) was born in Rome, Italy and emigrated in 1862. Shortly after arriving in the United States, De Funiak enlisted in the in the Confederate Army and was named captain of its engineering department, later he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel. Before working at the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, De Funiak served as the resident engineer for the Memphis and Charleston Railroad as well as Chief Engineer of the Ripley Railroad. In 1871 Colonel De Funiak was sent abroad to study European railroad construction methods. Upon his return one year later, De Funiak accepted the position as the Superintendent of Machinery at the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. He would go on to serve as general manager. The duration of his service with the L&N is unknown, but papers found in the Filson’s Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company Records, 1836-1912 (Mss./BB/L888g) show that as of January 18, 1883 he was serving as President of the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad Company. De Funiak retired in 1884.
F. W. Mowbray (1848-?) was born in Leicest, England and began studying architecture at the age of 16. After practicing briefly in England, Mowbray left England in 1872 and moved to Philadelphia where he established a successful architecture practice. While in Philadelphia, Mowbray worked as the Principal Assistant Architect (1874-1876) for the Centennial Exposition. From Philadelphia he went on to New York where, among other projects, he designed for the Manhattan Elevated Railway and U. S. Rolling Stock companies. But it was his work with the New York, West Shore and Buffalo and Pennsylvania Railroad that led him to L&N. Mowbray designed Louisville’s Union Station (1891), which was said to be modeled after Indianapolis’s Union Station. Research shows that Mowbray’s function at the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company was predominately focused on the design of Union Station, as he resigned his position as the Chief Architect on September 11, 1891—shortly after the completion of the station. This announcement of resignation appeared in the September 8 issue of the Louisville Courier Journal under the headline “Louisville and Nashville’s Chief Architect to Enter Business for Himself”.

Arrangement Note
The collection contains architectural drawings organized into project rolls, organized first by state and in the case of Kentucky, also by Louisville (e.g.: Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Louisville) and second by an L&N assigned alphanumeric classification schema (e.g.: G10652). Filson staffed utilized these organizational schemas to create role numbers; for each state—or Louisville— (e.g.: Alabama), rolls are organized first by alpha class (e.g.: C, G, H) and then by number within their alpha class (e.g.: C24-C25061 followed by G10652-G15889 and ending with H30332-H47648). Note: C24-C25061 does not contain all plans consecutive from 24 and onward; rather, users need reference the project index for a complete listing. From this classification schema, rolls are assigned a number (e.g.: 1-151). Some rolls contain multiple plans and users should reference the project index’s folder list in order to determine combined objects.
The project rolls have been separated by state (Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky/Louisville) within three, over-sized boxes. The project names assigned to the roll labels are the original titles supplied by the creator on the plan itself (e.g.: “Feasibility sketches of mechanical stokers and overhead bunkers at Nashville pumping station”). Following the title, thelocation (city and state) and dates (if known) are given. Other relevant information such as creator detail (initials and/or full name), origin of plans (e.g.: Office of Chief Engineer, Louisville, KY), detailed description and original classification number can be found within the project index. Additionally, if digital images are available, this too, is listed within the project index.
