Century Markers

Celebrate 100 years of history for your home or building!

For the first time, the Highland-Douglass Neighborhood has designed and created physical, brass century markers to mark HNDA buildings that are 100 or more years old. We join other local Louisville neighborhoods with this offering, like Bonnycastle, Cherokee Triangle, Deer Park, and Tyler Park. We have partnered with the longstanding local company Signdesigns on historic West Main Street to help with the production and finishing. 

Our second batch of 100 markers is now available!

Century Marker Brass Outside DCC

Each marker is individually forged in solid brass by an artisan foundry located across the Ohio River in southern Indiana. The markers are unique and hand-crafted works of art, to match your historic building, and will stand the test of time. Each marker is 5″x5″ and weighs over two pounds!

You can own and showcase one of these keepsakes for your 100 year old home or building. We are offering these markers at the price of $150, and will use profits to help fund work and programming in the Highlands-Douglass neighborhood and the Douglass Community Center. HDNA gifted the DCC building our very first century marker!
