Under Resolution No. 2, Series 2014, a property may be eligible for reimbursement for a <br />historic structure assessment (NSA) from the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) if the <br />Historic Preservation Commission finds "probable cause to believe the building may be <br />eligible for landmarking under the criteria in section 15.36.050 of the Louisville Municipal <br />Code." Further, "a finding of probable cause under this Section is solely for the <br />purposes of action on the pre - landmarking building assessment grant request, and such <br />finding shall not be binding upon the HPC, City Council or other party to a landmarking <br />hearing." <br />HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: <br />Information from Historian Bridget Bacon <br />This property is part of the Nicola Di Giacomo Addition, which was platted in 1907. <br />Records indicate the house was built prior to 1927 and moved on to this site in 1927. <br />The building is currently owned by the applicants, Cyndi and Harry Thomas, and is used <br />as a residence. <br />Patete /D'Agostino Family, Owners 1922-1983 <br />In 1922 Annie Patete, an Italian immigrant, purchased the entire block on which 1245 <br />Grant sits.
