Schmidt and Arenales Ownership, 2001-2007, and the creation of the Schmidt Subdivision In 2001, Bennett Schmidt and Stephanie Arenales purchased 625 Lincoln. They had already purchased the corner house to the north, 637 Lincoln, in 1994. In 2003, they created a covenant agreement to consolidate the four lots (Lots 1-4, Block 10, Pleasant Hill Addition) represented by 625 Lincoln and 637 Lincoln into a single ownership so that they could connect the two houses into one adjoining living space. According to the Improvement Location Survey provided by the applicant at the time of application to the City of Louisville, 637 Lincoln is located approximately 12 inches from the property line with 625 Lincoln, and 625 Lincoln is located approximately 3.4 feet from the shared property line. The applicants did join the homes together by building an enclosed passageway between the buildings that some current residents still remember, and they lived in the joined houses. In 2007, owners Schmidt and Arenales applied to the City of Louisville for a request for a minor subdivision plat to divide the one parcel into two parcels again. This was approved and the passageway between the houses was removed. 637 Lincoln then had the legal description of Lot 1, Schmidt Subdivision, and 625 Lincoln had the legal description of Lot 2, Schmidt Subdivision. In 2007, Schmidt and Arenales sold 625 Lincoln to Hofstrom, LLC. (They also sold 637 Lincoln in 2007.) Hofstrom LLC Ownership and Ross Ownership, 2007-2016 After purchasing the property in 2007, Hofstrom LLC sold 625 Lincoln in 2008 to Dino A. Ross. He lived in the house. He sold the property in 2016. Current Owners, as of 2016 Peter and Barbara Hamlington purchased 625 Lincoln in 2016.
