By 1951, Charles Viggers, Jr. and Maggie Viggers were living at 836 Lincoln again. He had retired from farming and they moved back into the house that they already owned. The County Assessor card indicates that some improvements were made to the house in around 1956. St. Louis Church purchased Red Men's Hall and had it torn down so that a church building could be constructed on the site. The following photo shows the demolition of the building, which is believed to have taken place in February 1953. The rear of 836 Lincoln appears on the left. This excerpt of an aerial view of Louisville from 1962 shows the house and yard at that time: Maggie Viggers died in 1958 and Charles, Jr. died in 1963. Their son, Venoit Viggers (1910- 1971), inherited 836 Lincoln. In 1964, he conveyed ownership of the property to both himself and his wife, Florence (1915-2000). In 1977, Florence sold 836 Lincoln to Lynne Bentsen. Bentsen Ownership, 1977-2016 Boulder County property records show that a warranty deed for 836 Lincoln, conveying the property from Florence Viggers to Lynne Bentsen, was recorded in 1977. An additional warranty deed for the same property and with the same parties was recorded in 1994. (The exact reason of why there were two warranty deeds recorded for the same property is not known.) Current Owners In 2016, David and Roxane Dupuis purchased 836 Lincoln, and they are the current owners. The preceding research is based on a review of relevant and available online County property records, census records, oral history interviews, Louisville directories, and Louisville Historical Museum maps, files, obituary records, and historical photographs from the collection of the Louisville Historical Museum. 4
