which part of a divided was being transferred from owner to owner, the earliest section <br />of the chain of ownership could not be completed. It is possible that eventually, <br />research of documents at the Boulder County Recorder's Office itself will be able to fully <br />reveal this chain. Based on the online records, early owners of the property appear to <br />have included such prominent Louisville residents as Joseph Youk, David and/or Jane <br />Carlton, Martin Zurich, and attorney J.

The granddaughter of this well <br />known local family that was engaged in building construction stated to staff at the <br />Louisville Historical Museum that this photo shows the construction of this building at <br />817 Main in 1898 and that H.H. Fischer is shown on the far right. However, this <br />
