The Germantown Mill Lofts website is full of even more amazing pictures of the new 185-unit complex, now nearing completion by Underhill Associates at 946 Goss Ave. Apartments range from studios to one- and two-bedrooms. All are equipped with washers and dryers. Many feature floor-to-ceiling windows (photo, top) that flood apartments with natural light. Amenities include a swimming pool, a gym (now under construction) and the new Finn’s Southern Kitchen restaurant.

Options and prices:

  • Studios. 540-871 square feet: $752 to $1,165 a month.
  • One bedrooms. 685 to 1,180 square feet: $953 to $1,480 a month.
  • Two bedrooms. 926 to 2,376 square feet: $1,202 to $2,889 a month.

The lofts occupy what was once Kentucky’s biggest cotton mill, consisting of more than 250,000 square feet of beautiful brick buildings spread over nearly eight acres in the heart of Germantown and Schnitzelburg. Finn’s was built inside what was once the mill’s administrative office.

Here’s what the Louisville Textile Mill looked like in 1937, in this University of Louisville Photographic Archives photo. In the foreground, that’s a cobblestone Goss Avenue, spliced by trolley tracks.

Food and Dining

Finn's logoNewly open — the past three weeks — Finn’s is serving southern comfort food for breakfast, lunch and dinner in up-and-coming Germantown. A sample of what looks good on the menu for dinner: brown sugar salmon with hop’n john and creole butter sauce; price isn’t on the website’s menu. 😦

Executive chef is Brian Curry, formerly at Napa River Grill. The operating partner is Steve Clements, who last owned Avalon, the Highlands restaurant he sold to El Camino four years ago, says Insider Louisville.

Finn’s is in the historic Fincastle building directly behind the new Germantown Mills Lofts. The art deco building once housed offices for the 1800-era cotton mill that’s been converted to the rental loft-style apartments. In the age of social media, it’s on Facebook; Instagram, and customers are tweeting.

Where: 1318 McHenry St. When: Breakfast: 7 a.m.-11 a.m. weekdays; lunch: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. weekdays; and dinner: 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
