Completed in 1974, these drawings give us information of the Ronald-Brennan House (631 South Fifth Street, Louisville, Kentucky). The Ronald-Brennan House was constructed in 1868 for Francis S. J. Ronald. Sixteen years later in 1884, the home was sold to an inventor named Thomas Brennan. Brennan was known for his patents which won awards in the World's Columbian Exposition (Chicago, 1893). The home stayed in the Brennan family until 1963, at which time, the home was left to the Filson Club. Aside from an addition in 1912, the home went through no major alterations. This home is an example of the Italianate style.
