[The 1982 Louisville City Directory lists 1220 River Road as "vacant", while the 1977 Directory lists it as "American Oil Co. (Terminal)", so the storage tank may have once been part of the American Oil terminal.]

</p><p>From <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.riverway.com/history/history.htm">The History of Riverway</a>:
</p><p>"On January 4, 1972, an enterprise that eventually became Riverway Louisville Terminal Co. began operation primarily loading and unloading coal, fertilizer, salt and steel. Located at mile 603 on the Ohio River, the terminal occupied approximately 14 acres of property with nearly 1100 feet of river frontage footage. Situated on the site were eight liquid storage tanks with total holding capacity of 110,000 barrels of fuel or 20,300 tons of liquid fertilizer. A petroleum dock was situated just west of a barge loading area.  Six rail lines could accommodate up to 100 rail cars. The conveyor belt could load or off-load 700 tons of coal per hour. 
The reasoning behind owning a terminal in Louisville was quite simple -- grain loadings from St. Paul to New Orleans, salt from New Orleans to Louisville and coal from Louisville to St. Paul. The strategy never entirely worked out, but the  terminal was quite successful. The terminal property was donated to the City of Louisville in 1995 as part of the Waterfront Development Initiative."
