New Albany, Indiana · Floyd County · Main Street historic district · Grant Line Road corridor
Harding, Shymanski & Company, P.S.C. serves New Albany’s vibrant business community — from the boutique shops on Main Street to the medical practices near Floyd Memorial — from its Louisville office at 101 S 5th Street, Suite 1700, in the heart of downtown Louisville. That’s a straight shot across the Second Street Bridge, about 8 minutes without traffic. No New Albany storefront, but over 30 years of expertise working with Floyd County businesses, historic homeowners, and the professionals who make New Albany one of southern Indiana’s most dynamic river towns. We know the difference between the Mansion Row historic district and the commercial sprawl along Grant Line Road.
New Albany’s Fabric: Mansion Row, Main Street Revival, and Grant Line Commerce
New Albany isn’t a suburb — it’s a historic river city with its own identity, one that anyone who’s lived here thirty years can describe in detail. The crown jewel is Mansion Row along East Main Street, a mile-long stretch of beautifully preserved Italianate, Greek Revival, and Victorian homes built by steamboat captains and industrialists in the 19th century. These aren’t just houses; they’re generational assets, often passed down or converted into boutique law offices, B&Bs, and professional spaces. The owners face unique tax situations around historic preservation credits, rental income, and estate planning.
The downtown Main Street corridor has seen a genuine renaissance over the past fifteen years. What was once a quiet stretch of vacant storefronts is now home to independent coffee shops, farm-to-table restaurants, art galleries, and professional service firms. The Carnegie Center for Art & History, the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library, and the Floyd County Courthouse anchor the civic core. The Riverfront Amphitheater and the Ohio River Greenway draw walkers and cyclists from both sides of the river, making New Albany a destination, not just a pass-through.
The commercial spine of modern New Albany is Grant Line Road (Indiana 111 and 62), which carries traffic from the interstate interchanges to the riverfront. This corridor holds big-box retail, medical offices, dental practices, and the Floyd Memorial Hospital campus — now part of Baptist Health. Further south, the Charlestown Road corridor continues the suburban commercial pattern, while the Silver Creek and Galena neighborhoods offer a quieter, rural-residential feel. These are the diverse economic engines that keep Floyd County humming, and they’re the ones we’ve been serving for decades.

The New Albany Advantage: Historic Properties, Medical Practices, and Cross-Border Commerce
Historic homeowners and Mansion Row investors. The historic districts of New Albany (Mansion Row, the Olde Towne district, and the North of Main neighborhood) are filled with homeowners who have invested heavily in restoration. They need guidance on federal and state historic preservation tax credits, depreciation of qualified improvements, and the tax implications of renting out a carriage house or running a short-term rental. We’ve helped numerous Floyd County clients navigate these credits and structure their ownership to maximize after-tax returns.
Medical practices along Grant Line Road. Baptist Health Floyd is a major employer, and the surrounding corridor is dense with independent physician groups, dental practices, therapy clinics, and specialty medical offices. These practices face Kentucky and Indiana tax complexities (many providers live in Indiana but work in Kentucky, or vice versa), plus the need for sophisticated revenue cycle management. Our HSC Medical Billing & Consulting division works directly with New Albany clinics to optimize claim submission and reduce denials, while our tax team handles the multi-state filings.
Main Street small businesses and professional services. The boutiques, restaurants, law firms, real estate agencies, and creative studios that have revitalized downtown New Albany need bookkeeping, payroll, and proactive tax planning. They want a CPA who understands the unique challenges of a business with both Indiana and Kentucky customers (sales tax nexus, anyone?), and who can help with entity selection (LLC, S-corp) as they grow. That’s us.
Cross-border commuters and remote professionals. Thousands of New Albany residents work across the river in Louisville — in healthcare, finance, education, and logistics. Those commuters face reciprocity agreements between Indiana and Kentucky, complex withholding scenarios, and the need for multi-state tax preparation. We’ve been handling these cross-border returns for decades and can spot potential pitfalls before they become problems.
