Perhaps more evidence will surface that will shed light on the construction date. <br />The 2000 Architectural Inventory Form stated that the Steinbaugh family lived at 945 Front <br />until 1935. However, Louisville directories at the Historical Museum indicate that the <br />Steinbaugh family was still living in the house in 1930, but moved elsewhere in Louisville before <br />1932. Therefore, it should be noted that 945 Front was the Steinbaugh home only until circa <br />1931. <br />The following photo shows J.J.
