The area is hilly, consisting of ridges around the middle fork of Beargrass Creek. It is home to the former Gardencourt Mansion, now part of the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. The Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary relocated to the area. There are also mansions off Alta Vista built by some of Louisville's wealthiest families in the early 20th century. Gardencourt is a 20-room Beaux-Arts style mansion, completed in 1906. A carriage house and greenhouse were built in 1907 on the 14-acre (57,000 m2) property, which was landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers firm. The mansion was built by the daughters of George W. Norton, and was donated to the University of Louisville in 1946 for its School of Music. The Emily A. Davison recital hall was built in 1962, hosting performers including Igor Stravinsky and Aaron Copland, although the school of music moved to the Shelby Campus in 1969.

Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, also referred to as Louisville Seminary, is a seminary affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), located in Louisville, Kentucky. It is one of ten PC (USA) seminaries, and it identifies as an ecumenical seminary, with recent student enrollment representing many faith traditions.Though now located in Louisville, it was founded in 1853 in Danville, Kentucky (the site is now Centre College) and was known as the Danville Theological Seminary. Though it thrived in its early years, the Civil War took a great toll and by 1870 there were only six students enrolled, and as few as one professor at times, requiring classes to be taught by the faculty of Centre College. The seminary is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as well as the Association of Theological Schools. The Seminary is located on land adjacent to the Cherokee-Seneca Parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The central quad includes Nelson Hall (which houses the Counseling Center), Caldwell Chapel, the library, and a student building. The Seminary offers multiple degree programs including Doctor of Ministry, Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, Masters of Arts in Religion, and Masters of Divinity.

Spring Station was a fort established sometime before 1782 around Beal's Branch of Beargrass Creek in what is now Louisville, Kentucky. It was established at the time of Louisville's founding as part of the settlement's defensive network of six forts, which protected settlers from attack by the Native Americans (commonly referred to as "Indians" at the time) who were allied with the British. The fort at Spring Station was built by the Steele family, originally from Ireland. Richard Steele and his family emigrated to America to the town of Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. Richard Steele's children, specifically Richard Steele Jr., moved his family to Kentucky to occupy the land he had been granted for his military service in 1780. The Steeles traveled down the Ohio River in flatboats, landing on Corn Island near the Falls of the Ohio. They remained there for two years before moving to Beargrass Creek and building a fort at Spring Station. Richard and Martha Steele lived at Spring Station and had thirteen children. Martha Steele became a pioneer heroine when she saved her wounded husband after an Indian attack at Spring Station. When the fort was attacked, Martha and the other women and children went to Floyd Station, another fort about five miles from Spring Station, where they would be safe. Tradition has it that when Martha learned that her husband, Richard Steele Jr., had been seriously injured, she wrapped her baby up and traveled alone on horseback through the wooded night back to Spring Station. She rode past the Native American encampment and up the road now known as Story Avenue. The story goes that once Martha was within calling distance of the fort, she began screaming for Richard. Upon recognizing his wife's voice, he ordered the gate to be opened just in time for her horse to run through without stopping. Martha Steele narrowly made it in time and was able to aid her husband, who ended up making a full recovery. By 1784, the Steele family moved from Spring Station to a farm in Fayette County, Lexington, Kentucky.
