River City Bank - Louisville, Kentucky

500 South Sixth Street - While trying to get some information on this building I came across this great article at Broken Sidewalk showing that hidden just beneath this newer facade is a much older building ready to re-emerge from its cocoon.  The original Mammoth Life building designed by Joseph & Joseph architects is circa 1925.  I'm not sure what year the current facade was added.
