The Von Allmen Dairy Farm House in Louisville, Kentucky was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 2007. Built in 1912, it was owned by Emil Von Allmen, a Louisville dairy leader. It was described as "the last vestige of a well-known dairy farm"
The house is of Bungalow/Craftsman style, 1.5 stories high, with Neo-classical detailing.
Eventually, the consolidation of dairy farming caused the farm to stop producing. Of the original 226 acres (0.91 km2), only 4 acres (16,000 m2) remain of the property, with the rest consumed by Louisville sprawl.
Dean Corbett, chef of a restaurant called Equus in St. Matthews, Kentucky, planned to restore the building into a new upscale restaurant called "Corbett's: An American Place". On December 13, 2007, it had a "soft opening" with a hard opening on December 15, 2007.
