In 1951, the house finally had the address of 520 Grant and it has been known as 520 <br />since then, despite the fact that it technically should have continued to have the address <br />of 516 Grant. Currently, addresses in downtown Louisville are supposed to get higher as <br />one travels north. It is an anomaly that 520 Grant is south of 516 Grant even today. <br />Kenneth Thompson grew up in Louisville, served in World War II, and became a <br />chemical operator. By the mid 1950s, he was a foreman at Rocky Flats. Dorothy also <br />grew up in Louisville, although the 1940 census shows her living in Arizona, where her <br />father worked at a copper mine at the time. <br />Kenneth Thompson died in 1982. Dorothy continued to live at 520 Grant until her death <br />in 2011. Their daughter, Rhonda Fiore, transferred the house to the current owners, <br />Timothy and Amy Hancock. <br />Sources <br />The preceding research is based on a review of relevant and available online County property records, <br />census records, oral history interviews, and related resources, and Louisville directories, newspaper <br />articles, maps, files, obituary records, survey records, and historical photographs from the collection of <br />the Louisville Historical Museum. <br />
