\nA man is dead after a car hit a historic structure on Frankfort Avenue in Louisville early Friday.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Police said First Division officers were called to a single vehicle crash at about 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of Frankfort Avenue and River Road.<\/p>\n
Police said a preliminary investigation showed the passenger vehicle was traveling northbound on Frankfort Avenue at a high rate of speed, when the driver lost control, hit a concrete curb and collided with the base of the Heigold House Fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n
The driver died at the scene. He was not wearing a seat belt. No one else was in the vehicle. LMPD’s Traffic Unit is handling the investigation.<\/p>\n
According to the National Registry of Historic Places, the Heigold House Fa\u00e7ade is a brick structure with intricate carvings done in the 1850s by a stonemason named Christian Heigold. It has a long history in Louisville and was moved to the entrance of Frankfort Avenue in 2007. <\/p>\n
Police said the landmark was not damaged.
