L <br />City0r <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 187E <br />1125 La Farge Ave. History <br />Legal Description: Lot 7 less 2 feet, and Lots 8 & 9, Block 3, Barclay Place <br />Year of Construction: circa 1914-1926 <br />Summary: This was the home of Italian -born siblings Ernesto Jannucci and Cleonice Jannucci, <br />then Anthony and Amelia La Salle, for a combined 95 years. <br />Louisville Historical Museum <br />Department of Library & Museum Services <br />City of Louisville, Colorado <br />July 2017 <br />Development of Barclay Place <br />The Colorado Mortgage and Investment Co., Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of <br />Great Britain and doing business in Colorado, in 1897 platted the Barclay Place subdivision in <br />which this property is located. <br />Schreiter Montgomery Ownership, 1906-1918 (12 years); Date of Construction <br />Marie Schreiter (1888-1963), who was from a Louisville -area German farming family, purchased Lots 5, <br />6, 7, 8, and 9 in 1906 from the developers of the subdivision. She appears to have been just 18 at the <br />time. In 1910, she married Clark Montgomery and become Marie Montgomery. She and her husband <br />and children lived in Canfield and are not known to have lived at 1125 La Farge. <br />The 1948 Boulder County Assessor card for this property and the Boulder County Assessor's <br />Office website both give 1908 as the date of construction of this house. Boulder County has <br />sometimes been found to be in error with respect to the date of construction of Louisville <br />buildings, so other evidence is looked to. The Boulder County Assessor card from 1948 appears <br />to have been the origin of the "1908" construction date, but this appears to have been based in <br />part on an error, as the card states that the house was 45 years old in 1948, but also states that <br />it was built in 1908. <br />In this case, the 1908 date does not appear to be accurate, as the house does not show being <br />located on the lots in question on the 1909 Drumm's Wall Map of Louisville. Also, a 1914 <br />contract to purchase the lots appears to indicate that there was not yet a house on the <br />1 <br />
