A part of Ormsby Plantation, Bellevoir Mansion was built in 1867 across the tracks and down the road from the main plantation. Bellevoir was a Standardbred (harness racing horses) farm. In the 20th century, it became Ormsby Village, an orphanage. Around 1980, it was Kentucky Railway Museum (I visited there!). Nowadays, it is an office park. The mansion is still there—I visited it once when the YMCA had offices there.
