The Chestnut House, at 714 East Chestnut Street, was originally a stopgap solution to finding show space once Skull Alley was declining in presence, became for a short while Louisville's premier option for small shows. Shows were played in the front living room with crowds extending back into a second room usually used as a bedroom.
