Brooklawn was founded in 1851 as the German Protestant
Orphan's Asylum by the Reverend Karl Daubert, pastor of
St. Paul's Evangelical Church. The orphanage was originally
located on W Jefferson Street, between Nineteenth and
Twentieth Streets. The first orphans cared for by the Reverend
Louis Daubert were children whose German-immigrant parents
had died en route to Louisville during a yellow fever epidemic.
