Historical Background After the Original Town of Louisville was platted in 1878, lots along Front Street were among the first developed in the new community. Initially known as First Street, this area evolved as Louisville's Main Street in the years prior to the turn of the twentieth century. In the early 1900s, Second Street, located a block to the west, became the _ community's official Main Street, while Front Street(the original Main Street) gave way to residences and secondary businesses. With the original part of the house dating from before 1893, this property's primary dwelling has had several owners and residents over the years. In chronological order, beginning in 1936, some of these include: Jeremiah B. and Della Sandy; Donald E. and Mabel L. Sahm (who operated a radio repair business in the home); Robert M. and Idabel O. Coet (Robert worked as a laborer for a time); Albert Aguoro; James D. Hilburn; Susan Friedman; Neil Conner; and Jackie Golz. Other members of the Coet family, a long-time Louisville mining family, lived next door at 909 Front Street. Residents at 917 a Front Street (the secondary residence) have included Jess Martinez, 1 Fletcher B. Epperson, Steven Newson, and Joan Margolis. 4 36.
