Historical background: This building is part of Jefferson Place, the first residential subdivision in Louisville. According to Boulder County records, the house at 828 Jefferson was constructed in 1998. It replaced a house that is believed to have been built in about 1905. The original 828 Jefferson was among several properties purchased for resale by Harper Orahood from Jefferson Place developer Charles Welch in 1898. The next owner was Italian -born Carlo Lolli, who purchased the property in 1904 and lived in this location with his wife, Lucy, and six children. The Lolli family is shown in the 1910 and 1920 census records as living in the original house at this location. Carlo Lolli worked as a coal miner. After Carlo Lolli sold the original house (with the deed having been recorded in 1921), the next owners were: John Madsen; Joe Long; Onorio and Lucy Ferrera (who owned it for nearly fifty years); Eugene and Palmena DiCarlo; and William Elrod Jr. and Paula DiCarlo Elrod. County records show that the current owners are still William and Paula Elrod. This property has been owned by the DiCarlo/Elrod family since 1971. Another address used for the original house on the lot at 828 Jefferson was 834 Jefferson, according to the 1940 directory. No other former addresses were found. The current house was always addressed as 828 Jefferson. 36.
