Louisville Historical Museum Department of Library & Museum Services City of Louisville, Colorado July 2012 Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 508 Lincoln Avenue Legal Description: Lots 20-21 & Lot 22 Less N 15 Ft, Block 4, Acme Place subdivision Year of Construction: circa 1961 (see discussion below) Summary: Vera Dixon Taylor owned and lived in this house for over thirty-five years. The Acme Place subdivision in which this house sits was first developed in 1893 by John Connell. Beginning in 1931, the Louis and Mary Zinge family lived at 516 Lincoln, next door to 508 Lincoln. The property at 508 Lincoln was apparently a side yard for 516 Lincoln. The estate of Louis Zinge sold this part of the Zinge parcel in 1959 to Herman H. Steinbaugh. Camille and Victoria Hioco purchased the property from Steinbaugh in 1960. The 1966 Louisville directory shows the Hioco family to have been living at 508 Lincoln in the 1960s. The Boulder County Assessor website gives 1965 as the year of construction for 508 Lincoln. The County has sometimes been found to be in error with respect to the dates of construction of some historic buildings in Louisville. In this particular case, there is a County Assessor card dated 1961 for this house and property with the note that "This house moved in and remodeled." This could be a reference to the house having been relocated from elsewhere, but this has not been confirmed. Under "Date of Construction," there is a handwritten notation, "100% for 1961." This would seem to suggest that the house appeared on the lot (as either a relocated house or as new construction) in or around 1961. The following images show the photo of the house from the County Assessor card dated 1961 (at the time when Camille and Victoria Hioco owned it) and a ground layout sketch of the house:
