Photo 4, circa 1900-08, Louisville Historical Museum E-R N-1 <br />In the early 1900s, coal mining activities by the owner of the Acme Mine in Louisville <br />caused subsidence that led to significant structural problems with this large brick <br />building. By 1909, it was condemned, and it is believed to have been demolished by <br />1914, when permission was given to build a fence around the vacant property, <br />according to local historian Carolyn Conarroe. <br />Boulder County property records indicate that by 1911, this property had been <br />conveyed to the Northern Coal & Coke Co., and by 1912, this property was owned by its <br />successor in ownership of the Acme Mine, the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company. (It can be <br />speculated that the Acme Mine's owner became the owner due to a settlement that <br />came about as a result of the subsidence damage, but this issue has not been separately <br />researched.) <br />Photo 5 shows the vacant property in circa 1915. (The numbers on the photo are <br />believed to indicate where people were standing at the time of a crime that took place <br />in October 1915.) <br />
