On the mound, years after the time of which we are telHng, John Gwathmey built the queer house still standing there. He sold it to Colonel Grayson, and the pond was so beautified by Colonel Grayson that it came to be known as ''Grayson's Pond. " It was the scene of many bap- tisms by immersion, as well as of many skating parties and ice dances. Another big pond was at the intersection of Fourth and Jefferson streets. A creek ran through what is now York Street. Ben Casseday tells that ''the fac...e of Louisville resembled an archipelago, so full was it of 'land surrounded by water'. " Besides the ponds, there were many deep mud-holes. It was not until 1824 that the Kentucky Legisla- ture took definite action on this state of affairs and appointed a Board of Health, with authority to examine into the causes of the epidemics that were ravaging Louisville. Then, instead of imposing a tax to secure funds for drainage, the Legislature authorized a lottery for that purpose. Colonel Durrett tells that there was some queer building done in Louisville in its early days.
