of Herman and Laura Steinbaugh. According to the 1956 directory for Louisville, Herbert was president of Steinbaugh's and Glenn was vice-president. Their brothers, Jim and Jack, also worked at Steinbaugh's, and their father, Herman, was also still involved in the business. The third partner was Joe Madonna (1917-1984), who had grown up in Louisville. In the 1950s, he worked as a building contractor and is remembered as having been the foreman of the building department at Steinbaugh's. He had served on the Louisville Planning Commission and later worked for Boulder County. Joe Madonna's sister, Lois, was at the time married to James Milton McDaniel (1916-1998), the fourth partner, who is remembered as having been a manager at Steinbaugh's. All four partners had served in World War II. James McDaniel is believed to have at some point moved elsewhere in Colorado and didn't have as extensive an involvement that the other three men had in the Bella Vista subdivision. Steinbaugh's Lumber Co. supplied lumber and materials for the construction of at least some of the houses that would be built in Bella Vista. It is remembered by Louisville residents that Joe Madonna constructed some of the homes in the development. Anyone who drives or walks through this subdivision no doubt wonders about the origins of the street names, which are all women's given names. The four men involved in the project named the streets for their wives. Aline Street was named for Aline DiGiallonardo Steinbaugh, wife of Glenn; Rose Street was named for Rose Dionigi Steinbaugh, wife of Herbert; Lois Drive was named for Lois Madonna McDaniel, wife of James McDaniel; and Barbara Street was named for the wife of Joe Madonna. She was an English war bride whom Joe Madonna had met in World War II and had brought back to live in Louisville. Some Louisville residents did move to new developments in Broomfield and around the area, but many longtime Louisville families were able to stay in Louisville as a result of having homes available to buy in Bella Vista. A few of the family names of longtime Louisville families who were early owners of Bella Vista properties were DiCarlo, Ferguson, Kupfner, Martella, Kimmett, Finleon, Rotar, Steinbaugh, Junior, Pol, Domenico, Symanski, Delforge, De Santis, and Lombardi. Many would agree that Louisville would be a different community today if these longtime families hadn't been able to stay. Louisville residents recall that 101 S. Roosevelt was the model home for this subdivision. The following section of a 1962 aerial photo of Louisville looking east shows the Bella Vista neighborhood as it was being developed. (The houses on the right are not part of the subdivision.) This photo shows that many of the first houses were located on Lois Drive and on Rose Street. 107 Rose is seen on the west side of the street, fourth house in from the left of the photo. 2
