Louisville Historical Museum <br />Department of Library & Museum Services <br />City of Louisville, Colorado <br />May 2011 <br />LCityoj <br />Om Louisville <br />COLORADO 'SINCE 1.878 <br />1021 Jefferson Ave. History <br />Legal description: Lots 5 & 6, Block 2, Capitol Hill Addition <br />Year of Construction: circa 1906 <br />Architect/Builder: Unknown <br />Previous addresses used to refer to this property: 526 Jefferson (in Louisville directories from the <br />1920s) and 528 Jefferson (in the 1936 Louisville directory). These addresses were used during Louisville's <br />old numbering system, which changed in the late 1930s. <br />Summary: This house was owned for the longest period of time by the Sottley family, for 45 years. This <br />house is unusual in Louisville for the number of times that it appears in unrelated historic photographs <br />in the collection of the Louisville Historical Museum. <br />History of Capital Hill Addition <br />J.C. Williams, who was a mine superintendent with the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, and Irving <br />Elberson, who was a banker, were the developers of the Capitol Hill Addition. The plat for this addition <br />was filed with the County in 1904. <br />In 1905, J.C. Williams sold this property to Anton Nordin. The County's estimate that the house was <br />constructed in 1906 is probably correct, given that the first purchaser acquired it in 1905. Upon Nordin's <br />death, it was sold by his heirs, John Nordin, Kristina Helena Nordin, and Maria Nordin in 1909 to Andy <br />Teague, although the contract for Teague to purchase the house was filed with the County three years <br />earlier, in 1906. <br />
