would suggest that the 1948 date is not correct. Also, the fact that the property was assessed <br />so shortly after construction would suggest that the date is accurate. <br />The first owner of the house is believed to have been Stephen Evanich. His name is listed as the <br />owner on the Assessor card that appears to be dated 1950. Also, the 1949 and 1951 directories <br />for Louisville show that he and his wife, Wilma, were living at 1309 Grant in those years. <br />However, the warranty deed by which Alvin Fischer sold the property to Evanich was not <br />recorded until 1952, just days before Evanich resold it. It appears that Evanich had owned it <br />much longer, perhaps since 1948, and that there was a delay in having the deed recorded. <br />Stephen Evanich (1926-1986) was born in New Mexico and moved to Boulder County with his <br />family in 1936. He served in the Navy in World War II. He married Wilma Wisek (born 1928) in <br />1947. She was born in the Louisville area to parents from longtime Louisville families. According <br />to his obituary, Steve Evanich worked as a self-employed cement contractor for Evanich <br />Concrete until 1980, at which time he went to work for the Boulder Valley School District, then <br />Hines Lumber Co. in Lafayette. <br />The following photo of the house and a ground layout sketch are from the Boulder County <br />Assessor card that is believed to date from about 1950, not long after the house was built. The <br />original size of the home was 480 square feet. An addition of 300 feet was added in 1953 by <br />John and Nellie Stoker. The blue pencil on the ground layout sketch indicates the original house, <br />with the red pencil indicating the addition. <br />2 <br />
