built behind 613 Grant that was described in the interview with Anna was moved to 625 Grant and formed the original part of that house. Evidence suggests that there was a house at 625 Grant with its own address by around 1915-1920. (It was remodeled in about 1949-50.) This then became the home of John and Mary Mudrak, the parents, and their other children, while 613 Grant continued to be the home of John G. and Anna Mudrock. In 1943, following the death of Mary Mudrak, John G. Mudrock as the administrator of his mother's estate conveyed ownership of 625 Grant to Anna, who then in 1947 conveyed ownership to their son, Albert Mudrock. Albert Mudrock and his wife, Cleo, lived at 625 Grant for many years and raised their children there. For the foregoing reasons, the year of construction is believed to be circa 1915-1920, which is the time by which there was a house at 625 Grant with its own address, although part of the house may have been constructed even earlier. The dates of construction given by the County in two places, which are 1949 and 1950, are believed to refer to the approximate date of a remodel. Albert Mudrock (1922-1997) married Cleo Damiana (1923-1985) in 1945, following his World War II service. Cleo Mudrock, whose heritage was Italian and who had grown up in Louisville, worked for the City of Louisville for many years and served as City Clerk for three years. Louisville's Cleo Mudrock Park is named for her. Directories indicate that Albert Mudrock worked as a carpenter.
