Fire destroys Ormsby Hall at EMI campus near Venice
The Ormsby Hall mansion, part of the 100 acre EMI campus outside Louisville, burned in the early hours of May 29. Five volunteer fire departments fought the blaze but could not save the Georgian structure built by slaves in the early 1800s. The building, once used as EMI dorms, had stood since the 19th century and was on the National Register of Historic Places.
