The owner of the property from 1904 until 1919, John A. Williams, is believed to have <br />had the house constructed. Boulder County gives 1905 as the year of construction for <br />600 Pine. Although Boulder County has been found to be in error with respect to the <br />dates of construction of some Louisville historic buildings, the date of 1905 does make <br />sense in that it was so soon after the purchase of the lots by John A. Williams. <br />No record of a John A. Williams in Louisville could be located. However, there is <br />evidence that Williams rented out the house. The 1918 directory shows that Royal and <br />Lulu Belle Thompson resided at 530 Pine, which was an early address for 600 Pine <br />(before addresses changed in the late 1930s). Royal Thompson was employed at the <br />Louisville Milling & Elevator Co., now known as the Louisville Grain Elevator, at that <br />time. <br />Malcolm Family Ownership, 1919 - present <br />In 1919, Joseph Malcolm purchased the property at 600 Pine. It is still owned by <br />members of the Malcolm family, ninety-four years later. <br />Joseph Wallace Malcolm was born in Illinois in 1877 and, according to his obituary, came <br />to Nebraska by covered wagon with his parents while he was an infant. He grew up in <br />Nebraska. He joined up to serve in the Spanish-American War and was stationed in the <br />Philippines in about 1899-1900. He was one of just a few Louisville residents to have <br />served in the Spanish-American War. At the time of his death in 1975, he was the last <br />surviving Spanish-American War veteran in Boulder County.
