listed this Zarlengo family as living in the Caledonia Place Addition. These pieces of information indicate that there was likely a structure built well before 1908 on either Lot 7 or Lot 8 (or on both), and there are suggestions that the Piscitella family also resided in a house in this location prior to 1908. (Unfortunately, additional information about exactly what was on Lot 7 and what was on Lot 8, and which came first, could not be located; however, the Drumm's Wall Map of Louisville shows that both lots had houses on them by 1909.) Based on all of these pieces of evidence, the estimated year of construction is presumed to be "circa 1903-1908." Antonio Gentile died in 1917. Antonio's widow, Anna Marie, moved with three of her children to Denver. They are shown on the 1920 census, which shows that Anna Maria worked by cleaning railroad cars, while her daughter Julia, age 15, worked as a box folder at a biscuit company. In 1923, Anna Maria remarried to Antonio Frazzini. Property records indicate that the adult Gentile children owned 1436 Cannon through the 1920s, 1930s, and part of the 1940s. During this time, the house was likely rented out, but the identities of the residents could not be located. By deeds recorded in 1947, the surviving three children conveyed ownership of both Lots 8 and 9 to their mother, Anna Maria Gentile Frazzini. She sold the lots to Bonifacio Duran. Duran/Arroyas Ownership (1947-current) Bonifacio Duran purchased Lots 8 and 9, Block 7, Caledonia Place in 1947. (A local realtor, Esther Pickett, briefly owned Lot 8 in 1947-48 before transferring ownership back to Bonifacio Duran.) In 1948, Bonifacio Duran conveyed Lot 8, which is 1436 Cannon, to his sister, Evangeline "Eva" Duran Arroyas, and her husband, and it became their residence. Bonifacio Duran and his family then lived next door at 1428 Cannon (Lot 9) for several decades. The following image of the house is from the Boulder County Assessor card dated 1948. In 1948, the house was 32 x 12, or 384, square feet. 3
