until at least 1909." It is now believed that the building was probably being used to operate The Black Diamond World newspaper in 1905-1908, however. Also, since the Union Labor Hospital Association was not established in Colorado until 1908, it seems unlikely that the hospital in Louisville could have been established earlier than 1908. The only years for which specific evidence has been found of the hospital's operation are 1909 and 1910 (based on the above -mentioned 1909 photos and the directory listing of 1910).

The 1921 directory for Louisville also shows the Hopkins family to be living here. The following photo of the house shows a woman and child. It may have been taken at around this time, but is undated: 6
