Historical background: <br />This building is located in Jefferson Place, the first residential subdivision in Louisville, but it is of more recent <br />construction. According to Boulder County and City of Louisville building permit records, the existing house at 836 <br />Jefferson was constructed in 1983, following the demolition of the original house that had been constructed in circa <br />1905. It was during the long eighty -plus years of ownership by the related Andrew/Norman/Harnagel family that the <br />original house was torn down and the current house was constructed. <br />Isaac and Mary Ann Hearn Robbins and their three children owned and resided in the original house from the early <br />1900s until 1930. Isaac Robbins worked as a coal miner. <br />Edward and Ethel Andrew purchased the house in 1930. Edward was killed in a mine accident in 1940 and Ethel <br />remained in the house with their daughter Lucille. Lucille married John Lewis Norman in the early 1950s and soon <br />after, they owned and lived in the house along with Ethel. Ethel Andrew died in 1968. John Norman worked as a <br />machinist at Rocky Flats. In 1983, John and Lucille had the old house demolished and the existing house built. <br />Lucille Norman died in 2000 and John Norman died in 2004, John Norman's heir, John Harnagel, became the owner <br />of the house. He is the current owner and occupant. <br />Another address used for 836 Jefferson under Louisville's old address system was 347 Jefferson, and in the 1940 <br />directory, when addresses were in a period of transition, its address was 840 Jefferson. <br />36.
