David's occupation was that of farmer, and Peter's occupation was given as laborer. They appear to have provided the family's only financial support. In 1921, Elizabeth Philp sold 1008 Grant to Joseph Rizzi. Rizzi Family Ownership, 1921-2002 Joseph Rizzi (1898-1968) grew up at 1401 Cannon in Louisville's Little Italy neighborhood. In 1921, He married Christina DiGiacomo (1903-2001), whose family was also Italian and who had grown up on a farm northeast of Louisville near the intersection of 95th and South Boulder Road (northeast corner). They both attended the St. Louis Catholic School located a half -block south of 1008 Grant, though they both had far to walk to school. Their child, Rita, was born in 1924. In 2005, she wrote a family history entitled "Dominic and Rita Ferrera's Family Story" that is in the collection of the Louisville Historical Museum. She wrote, "[m]y dad worked in the coal mines when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He said his lunch pail would drag on the ground as he walked to work. He met Christina when he worked on her family's farm in the summer.... They bought a house at 1008 Grant Ave. in Louisville and lived there all their married lives. My dad did a lot of remodeling on the house through the years." Rita further described how her father, Joe, worked in the Paramount Mine north of Louisville: "I remember him coming home from work all covered in coal dust so black I could hardly recognize him. I would run to the corner to meet him and he always saved a banana from his lunch pail for me. In the summer months, he would work as a carpenter.... My dad built a workshop at his house." Rita described more about the house at 1008 Grant: "Growing up I did not have a bedroom of my own. I slept on a day -bed in the dining room. Our house was very simple, but neat. My dad made the original back porch into a kitchen. We had a small kitchen, dining room, living room, and one bedroom. My dad added a second bedroom when I was in high school. It really felt great when I had my own room. It was a square room with short windows on one wall. We had a coal stove and when we took our baths it was in a large round wash tub and we would open the oven door to keep warm. We did not have bathrooms; we had outhouses." The following photo and ground layout of the house are from the County Assessor Card and date from 1948. At that time, which was after the addition of the second bedroom, the square footage of the house was 892 square feet. 3
