Ambrose & Audrey Vaughn Family Ownership (1932-2002) <br />In 1932, Ambrose Vaughn (1902-1981) and Audrey Vaughn (1907-1982) purchased 701 Lincoln. <br />They had moved to Louisville with their son, Ambrose Jr. (1924-2005) from Kentucky in about <br />1930. Ambrose Vaughn, Sr. worked as a coal miner in both locations. Like other miners who <br />moved to Louisville during the Depression, he may have been drawn to Louisville because of <br />the availability of mining work here. Records from the 1930s to the 1980s show the Vaughns to <br />be living in this house. <br />Ambrose Vaughn, Jr. served in World War II, and he appears in a short scene on the Louisville <br />Historical Museum's World War II film showing local servicemen while they were home on <br />leave. The film is entitled "Our Boys and Girls in the Armed Forces, 1943-44." The following <br />screen capture from the film show Ambrose Vaughn in scene #213. He is walking by the Pine <br />Street side of his house at 701 Lincoln, with 700 Lincoln shown in the background: <br />The Boulder County Assessor card for this property dates from 1948, when the property was <br />owned by Ambrose and Audrey Vaughn. The following images show the front of the house on <br />Lincoln as it appeared in 1948 along with the image of the ground layout at the time. <br />4 <br />
