The Von Allmen Dairy Farm House in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 2007.[https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/upload/weekly-list-2007-national-register-of-historic-places.pdf National Register of Historic Places Listings] Built in 1912, it was purchased in 1919 by Emil Von Allmen, president of the Gray-Von Allmen Sanitary Milk Company. https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=223407 It was described as "the last vestige of a well-known dairy farm"."Old Brownsboro Crossing house up for historic register", Louisville Courier-Journal, November 30, 2007
The house is of Bungalow/Craftsman style, 1½ stories high, with Neo-classical detailing.
Eventually, the consolidation of dairy farming caused the farm to stop producing. Of the original {{convert|226|acre|km2}}, only {{convert|4|acre|m2}} remain of the property, with the rest consumed by Louisville sprawl.[http://www.kentucky.gov/Newsroom/khc/August+Review+Board.htm Kentucky.gov: – August Review Board]
Dean Corbett, chef of the Equus restaurant in St. Matthews, Kentucky, planned to restore the building into a new upscale restaurant called "Corbett's: An American Place". On December 13, 2007, it had a "soft opening"[http://www.wineloverspage.com/forum/hotbytes/viewtopic.php?t=2225 LouisvilleHotBytes :: View topic – Corbett's: Give it FIVE stars!] with a hard opening on December 15, 2007.{{cite news| url=http://louisville.bizjournals.com/louisville/stories/2007/12/10/daily20.html | title=Dean Corbett's new restaurant to open Saturday | date=December 12, 2007}}
