Under Resolution No. 2, Series 2014, a property may be eligible for reimbursement for a historic structure assessment (HSA) from the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) if the Historic Preservation Commission finds "probable cause to believe the building may be eligible for landmarking under the criteria in section 15.36.050 of the Louisville Municipal Code." Further, "a finding of probable cause under this Section is solely for the purposes of action on the pre - landmarking building assessment grant request, and such finding shall not be binding upon the HPC, City Council or other party to a landmarking hearing." 725 Lincoln Current Photo (Northeast corner) 725 Lincoln- Current Photo (Southeast Corner) HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Information from Historian Bridget Bacon This property is part of original Louisville, which was platted in 1878. Records indicate the structure was built in 1904. The building is currently owned by Louisville LLC and 1006 Pine Street LLC, represented by Levy Villa, and is used as a restaurant. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. Lackner Family. Owners 1904-1937 Joseph Lackner and his family bought the lot on which 1006 Pine sits in two pieces between 1884 and 1900. Joseph, and Austrian immigrant, initially ran a saloon in a building, which no longer exits, just south of 1006 Pine. He and his family lived just to the west of this saloon, on the same lot. The saloon at 1006 Pine was built by Herman H. Fischer, another Louisville businessman, in 1904. Lackner and his family ran a saloon at 1006 Pine from 1904 until 1937, except during prohibition, when it was a billiard hall. Joseph had nine children, three with his first wife Rosina and six with his second wife Sabina, only three of whom survived to adulthood. Joseph twice served as town treasurer. 2
