Stop # 10: Horse Cave State Bank - Narrator: Robert Brock

Originally the Horse Cave State Bank Building had a corner entrance, which was eliminated when the art deco façade was added in the 1930s. When the bank moved to a newer building the downstairs was used for various businesses, including a dress shop. The upstairs fell into disrepair. The Horse Cave Theatre – as it was then known – acquired the building in the 1990s. By that time the upstairs had been taken over by pigeons as a communal roost, and the extensive renovations included removal of the pigeon population. Today the upstairs is used as seasonal apartments for actors performing at the Kentucky Repertory Theatre. The downstairs is used as an education center and black box theatre for smaller performances, dinner theatre and cabarets.
