Development of the Corrigan Addition The Corrigan Addition in which this house is located was platted by Mary Corrigan in 1908. However, it would be several more decades before the Corrigan Addition was actually developed. Corrigan sold the property to Charles Smith, who conveyed it to W. Edgar Griffith. By 1945, Raymond and Erlean Berg owned many of the Corrigan Addition lots. Raymond Berg was a former Louisville coal miner who went to work for Public Service in the 1950s. Bammer/Winkler Ownership of Property, 1952-1994; Discussion of Date of Construction In 1951, Raymond and Erlean Berg sold some of the Corrigan Addition lots to Laura Mae Steinbaugh. She then sold this parcel to Ann Bammer in 1952. Ann Odenbaugh Bammer (1904-1994) had married Peter Bammer and they lived in Louisville with their children. By 1948, he was killed in a mine accident. Ann Bammer purchased this parcel in 1952, after his death. The construction date of 1952 is also confirmed by the County Assessor card for this house. In 1957, Ann Bammer married Herman Winkler (1900-1981). He had grown up in Louisville as a member of the Winkler family on La Farge Avenue in the Jefferson Place Addition. They then lived together in this home.
