L.J. Mossoni went into business with Colacci in the 1920's when Mossoni <br />talked Colacci into moving the building back from the street. Mossoni <br />installed several gas pumps and ran the front end while Colacci ran the <br />back end as a cafe. <br />The 1936 directory for Louisville shows that Lawrence Mossoni had a "gasoline and oils" <br />business at this site, which was then called 200 Main under Louisville's former address <br />system. Mossoni, like Mike Colacci, had been born in Italy, joined Louisville's growing <br />Italian population, and became a leading businessman in the Louisville community. <br />Photo 7 shows a close-up of an aerial view of Louisville from the 1930s, with the site at <br />701 Main shown on the far right and the Town Hall next to it. <br />Photo 7, circa 1930s, Louisville Historical Museum 99-09-01 (section enlarged) <br />Photo 8 taken by the Boulder County Assessor's Office in 1948 shows "Tony and Jinn's" <br />on this site: <br />Photo 8, 1948, Boulder County Assessor's Office photo, Carnegie Branch Library, Boulder, Colorado <br />
