The Basil Doerhoefer House is a Colonial Revival house located at 4432 West Broadway in Louisville, Kentucky. The facade features four monumental columns. [2] It was built in 1902, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. [1] [2] [3] It was home to Loretto High School. [4]

Basil Doerhofer built a house next door for his son, Peter C. Doerhoefer, in 1918. That also was NRHP-listed, in 1983, as the Peter C. Doerhoefer House.

Prior to moving to the Basil Doerhoefer House on Broadway the Doerhoefers lived in the Doerhoefer-Hampton House at 2422 West Chestnut Street in Louisville. [5]

In 1981 the house was owned by "Christ Temple Apostolic Church, Inc." and signage at the house in 2022 suggests it still is. [6] It is presumably associated with the Christ Temple Christian Life Center, whose main building was added to what was then Loretto High School, is around the corner at 723 S. 45th St. [7]
