City of Richlawn

History

Sep 08, 2007

The City of Richlawn was incorporated in 1948,which makes it two years older than its larger surrounding neighbor, Saint Matthews. One of the more prominent builders and Realtors at
that time, Emery Kinkead, had designed and planned the small city. Local information has it
that when the homes were first built in the early 1940?’s, many of the ones in the first block of Don Allen were architects designed, as opposed to builder designed. They composed in that early year what we would know today as the Homerama display. Then, as now, the Richlawn
homes were highly desirable ones both in design and appointments.
