Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2016 Page 4 of 19 Commission Questions of Staff: Stewart says about the assessor's photo in 1954. What that taken at the site in Louisville? Trice says it was taken in Louisville. Chuck Thomas says my suspicion is that the bungalow style is associated more with the front porch. That may have been an add-on, so the original structure may have been of the vernacular. Trice says in talking with people with Boulder, there are several similar structures in the Chautauqua neighborhood that have a similar wood surround. They were constructed in the 1920s. Applicant Presentation: Kelly Garcia, 732 Grant Street, Louisville, CO I have lived in the home for 18 years. I have been intrigued with the house. It has a rare history. I went to the neighborhood where I believed it was moved from. It is a beautiful Craftsman house and I think it needs to be preserved. My husband whom I married three years ago has family rooted in Louisville, so it came to mean more to me. He is of the Lorenzi Garcia family. His grandfather was a miner. Vince Garcia, 732 Grant Street, Louisville, CO I know the Hutsell family. My mom was born in 1938 on Cherry Street. My grandfather moved into town in 1940 at 637 Grant Street. He would sit out in the cottonwood which is still there and watch the Labor Day Parade. I remember when Grant Street went straight through. I went to school at Louisville Elementary and St. Louis Catholic School. To see people doing things to houses that are here in town hurts me. I'd like to see them preserved. Haley says preservation is a lot about sentiment, the history, who lived there before you, and what it means to our community. We appreciate that you have found that in your house. Thank you for sharing that with us. Commission Questions of Applicant: None.
