The Louisville Directory for the Year 1832, by Richard W. Otis, is one of my finds while in Cincinnati.  In addition to the directory is a large map of the city.  You can take one of the addresses below and plot it on the map.  The abbreviations below help to find the position of the address on the map.  I did not add the four directions – thought you could figure those out!  When an ‘s’ is added to north, south, east or west it donates north side, etc.  If you want to plot the Flying Horses exhibition w s 3d b Market and Jefferson, it would read ‘on the west side of 3^rd Street between Market and Jefferson’.  In certain instances a residence and shop are listed.  Many shop owners and their families lived above their place of business.

Included are the entries beginning with ‘F’ – completely chosen at random.  If you took just this one group of citizens you would have everything you need to survive – doctors, bakers, stone cutters, an actor, grocers, hackmen, magistrates, bricklayers, carpenters, watchmaker, blacksmiths, attorneys, mate, butchers, clothiers, wagonmakers, draymen, bookseller, boarding house proprietor, brewer, clerk, engineer and plane maker.

I checked the 1832 Louisville newspapers and found a few ads from several of the following companies.
