Louisville Historical Museum Department of Library & Museum Services City of Louisville, Colorado January 2013 I Cityof .. Louisville COLORADO - SINCE 1878 1300 Lincoln Ave. History Legal Description: Lot 6, Block 8, Fischer Subdivision Year of Construction: circa 1908 Summary: This structure is a historic home, built in circa 1908, that was relocated to this location in 1960. Development of the Fischer Subdivision Nicola DiGiacomo (1852-1915) owned and farmed this area. In 1907, he platted the Nicola DiGiacomo Addition. This subdivision consists of four and a half blocks, all of them with addresses in the 1200s, that stretch across the north end of Old Town. However, he kept some of his farm land to the north of the DiGiacomo Addition and it is believed that the family continued to farm it. Eventually, in 1938, the area in which this specific property is situated passed to Rosa DiGiacomo Santi, who was a daughter-in-law of Nicola and Lucia DiGiacomo. In 1946, this property and surrounding properties were conveyed from Rosa Santi to Alvin Fischer. He was a member of the Fischer family that was engaged in building construction in Louisville for many decades. In the late 1940s, there was high demand for housing in Louisville from young people who had grown up in the town and wanted to stay here. In 1948, Alvin Fischer filed the plat of the Fischer Subdivision with Boulder County. This area includes the 1300 blocks of Jefferson, Grant, and Lincoln. Prior to the development of the Fischer Subdivision, Lincoln ended at the end of the 1200 block going north, and Lafayette Street going west ended just beyond this intersection.
