Mark,

I worked on several late nineteenth to early twentieth century neighborhoods 
in Louisville.  They were written up in CRM reports available in hard copy 
only.  They are archived at the SHPO and Office of State Archaeology. 
However, I used a lot of that data for my thesis on privies and sanitation. 
Did I send you a copy of that?  If not I have it in PDF and can send.  Let 
me know if you want the references for the reports.
