721 Grant — Current Photo <br />HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: <br />Information from Historian Bridget Bacon <br />The house at 721 Grant is important to Louisville history for a number of reasons: it is <br />one of the many buildings that historically were relocated from one site to another site in <br />the Louisville area, and had an earlier life as a Main Street business and the Louisville <br />Post Office; it was reportedly the location of Louisville's newspaper office; it was used <br />as a hospital operated by the United Mine Workers for area miners (and according to a <br />1985 survey of the property, "is the one remaining union associated building in <br />Louisville "); and it is believed to have used for elementary school classes prior to <br />becoming a private residence, which it has been for approximately the last ninety years. <br />For many of those years, it was the home of Harry and Doris Jenkins and their six <br />children. <br />3 <br />
