Statement of significance: This house is associated with the historic development of Louisville as one of the <br />early homes in Louisville's first residential subdivision, Jefferson Place. Although Jefferson Place was platted in <br />1880, few homes were actually built here before 1900. The property is significant for architecture as a good <br />example of a Hipped -Roof Box form house. It is locally significant for its 60+ -year association with Louisville's <br />prominent Hamilton family. Virginia Hamilton was a well -known Louisville teacher and founding member of the <br />Saturday Study Club. Frank Hamilton was a coal miner, saloon operator, deputy County Clerk and a leading <br />citizen in the community. <br />43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: The property has integrity of location, design, <br />materials, workmanship and feeling. Integrity of setting is compromised by the construction of adjacent homes <br />that reduce the once - substantial size of the property. Integrity of association with the Hamilton family is lost, but <br />association with Jefferson Place subdivision is still intact. There is a 1957 addition, but it is within the period of <br />significance. The addition is small, on the rear, and not readily visible from the street. <br />7 <br />
