South Street is significant within the context of the Russell National Register District, which was listed in This structure is typical of Federal style houses that were built throughout this particular neighborhood (as well as throughout Louisville) during the century. Few federal style houses in Russell have survived to the present day. Description: South Street is a two-story, wood-frame Federal style building constructed as a duplex. It is sited on the corner of Street and Stone Alley. It has a four bay facade arrangement with entrance doors on its end bays. All other bays, on both the first and second floors, have multi-light windows. None appear to be original. The lapped wood siding that originally covered the exterior has been recovered in aluminum siding.

A long, two-story wooden gallery spans the rear half of the south side of the structure. A gabled roof with asphalt shingle tops the building. History: Although the exact date of construction is unknown because building construction records are not extant, this structure probably dates from circa According to deeds John M. Nehan held title to the property in and by Cornelius Nehan, a grocer, and John S. Nehan, a deliverer were both listed as living on Street near Walnut (now called Muhammad Ali Boulevard).
