At the time of their residence at 525 Lincoln, the Chambers family consisted of: • George Chambers, born in 1856 in New York, who was an engineer at the Acme Mine; • Minnie Chambers, born in 1856 in Connecticut; • Herbert (son), born in 1881 in Connecticut; • Edna (daughter), born in 1886 in Connecticut; and • Ethel (daughter), born in 1893 in Colorado. Minnie and George Chambers sold 525 Lincoln to Thomas H. Bateman by a deed recorded in 1899, and he sold the property to Lucy A. Arnold soon after. However, the Chambers family continued to live at 525 Lincoln for several years, as they are shown in this location in both the 1900 census and 1904 Louisville directory. At the time of the 1900 census, the family consisted of Minnie and George, their three children at the time, and George's widowed mother, "P.E.," who had been born in 1823 and was 77. In the 1904 directory for Louisville, which was the first directory to give an indication of residence location, George Chambers was listed as being a resident of Acme Place. As the family did not own other property in Acme Place, it seems likely that they were still living at their Acme Place home at 525 Lincoln. That same year, 1904, a deed was recorded that shows their purchase of property at 1041 Lincoln in Louisville. Previous research of 1041 Lincoln shows that the Chambers family had that larger house built in circa 1904, and members of the Chambers family lived in it from circa 1904 until 1971. The Boulder County Assessor card that was completed in 1948 gave the date of 1898 as the year of construction of the house at 525 Lincoln. However, the County website gives the date of construction as being 1920. The County has sometimes been found to be in error with respect to the date of construction for Louisville historic buildings, so it is important that all of the evidence be considered, particularly in a case like this in which the County has given two conflicting dates with respect to the same house. In this case, the facts that the Chambers family purchased the property in 1895 and that the 1900 census and 1904 directory show them as living in this location would suggest that they had the house constructed not long after their purchase of the property. Therefore, the date of construction of 1898 given by the County is plausible. The date of 1920 may have referred to a remodel, as Boulder County has sometimes given the date of a building remodel as a new date of construction. (Past research of Louisville buildings also suggests that houses in the early decades of the 1900s were rarely completely razed, but instead people tended to add to them and remodel them.) Also relevant is the fact that the 1909 Drumm's Wall Map of Louisville shows a house as located on Lot 11 of the property, as seen here: 2
