the 1100 block of Grant and Lincoln, bordered by Grant on the east, Lafayette on the north, Lincoln on the west, and Caledonia on the south. Annie Patete's children then built homes on the block. In particular, Annetta's sister, Angelina, and Angelina's husband, Louis D'Agostino, are remembered for having had a poultry business between Grant and Lincoln along Lafayette Street. Current Louisville residents recall that the business supplied fresh eggs to downtown Louisville restaurants such as the Blue Parrot for many years. Annetta Patete was living with her sister and brother-in-law, Angelina and Louis D'Agostino, on Grant Ave. at the time of the 1940 census. This is believed to have been at 1245 Grant. She also lived with her sister, Nellie Inama, at 1201 Grant. In circa 1948, Annetta Patete built her own small home at 1303 Grant, on a different block just across Lafayette St. from her sister, Angelina D'Agostino. The deed by which she purchased the property from Alvin Fischer and Glenn Fischer was not recorded until 1955, but Louisville directories indicate that she was living in the house by 1949. Annetta Patete worked as a pharmacy clerk at the Bungalow Drug Store. Later, she married and became Annetta Miller. Annetta Patete Miller died in 1998. Not long before Annetta's death, in 1997, a relative bought the house. This owner, Gina Helart, is the granddaughter of Annetta Patete's half-sister, Nellie Inama. Gina Helart lived in the house and also rented it out. Boulder County lists the current owner of record as being Gina Helart. The following photo of the house and a ground layout sketch are from the Boulder County Assessor card that is believed to date from about 1948, around when the house was built. The original size of the home was 384 square feet. 2
