Celebrating the Preservation of Shelby County History

On June 9, 2026, Judge Ison proudly hosted an Open House at the historic former Shelby County Jailer’s Residence, located at 500 Washington Street, to celebrate the successful completion of a major environmental remediation project.

Through a Cleaner Commonwealth Fund subgrant of $147,733.05 from the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection’s Kentucky Brownfield Program, Shelby County completed the remediation of lead-based paint and other hazardous materials from the historic structure. The Kentucky Brownfield Program previously provided a no-cost environmental assessment and cleanup plan to help make this important project possible.

The Fiscal Court, under the leadership of Judge/Executive Dan Ison, also contributed local funding toward the project, which was completed by A&M Industrial Services. Shelby County gratefully acknowledges the assistance of KIPDA’s Community and Economic Development Division for their support with grant application and administration.

Built prior to 1876, the former Jailer’s Residence is a recognized Kentucky Cultural Resource and a contributing property within the National Register of Historic Places-listed Shelby County Courthouse and Main Street Commercial District. With remediation now complete, this historic building is ready for its next chapter.

The renovation of the former Jailer’s Residence will preserve an important piece of Shelby County’s heritage while creating a valuable asset and space to serve our citizens for generations to come.

This project represents just one phase of Judge Ison’s broader vision to restore and revitalize the Historic Old Courthouse property. Through strategic investments in preservation, rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse, Judge Ison has worked to ensure that these historic county landmarks remain assets for future generations while continuing to serve the people of Shelby County. The remediation of the former Jailer’s Residence marks an important milestone in that ongoing effort.

Thank you to our state and regional partners, including the Kentucky Brownfield Program, the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection, the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, and KIPDA, for helping make this project a reality.
