<br />35. Historical background:
<br />This building is part of Jefferson Place, the first residential subdivision in Louisville.
<br />The house at 933 Jefferson was built in 1952 by the Cable/Hilton family and is still owned by a member of the family.
<br />The land was originally part of the Virginia Hamilton House property at 925 Jefferson (5BL923). The owner and
<br />resident of 933 Jefferson, Thomas Cable, was the nephew of Frank and Sade Hamilton of 925 Jefferson. The
<br />Hamilton family was also associated with 833 Jefferson (5BL11305) and 913 Jefferson (5BL11308) in Jefferson
<br />Place.
<br />Marybeth Chambers originally purchased the lots for this property in 1885 from Jefferson Place developer Charles
<br />Welch. She was involved in buying and selling a great deal of property in Louisville, as was her husband, John S.
<br />Chambers. John and Marybeth Chambers, along with Lyman and Helen Andrews, operated the businesses Andrews
<br />& Chambers, located on Front Street, then the Louisville Mercantile Company, located in the brick building that used
<br />to stand at 701 Main. All were from New York State, as was Welch. Marybeth and John Chambers were a prominent
<br />and influential couple in Louisville until John Chambers died, which appears to have occurred in the 1890s.
<br />Marybeth Chambers then moved to Denver to live with a relative, according to census records.
<br />County property records show that Asenath Virginia Hamilton, nicknamed Jennie, purchased the lots for this parcel
<br />by 1891, when the deed was recorded. Her home at 925 Jefferson was the original home on her property. More
<br />biographical information about Virginia Hamilton and her family can be found in the inventory form for 925 Jefferson.
<br />The lots for 913 Jefferson, to the south, and 933 Jefferson, to the north, appear to have served as side yards to the
<br />Hamilton house at 925 Jefferson. Virginia Hamilton's son, Frank, sold the property that became 913 Jefferson in
<br />1936 and sold the property that became 933 Jefferson in 1952.
<br />Frank Hamilton (1877-1956), owned and lived at 925 Jefferson with his wife, Sarah "Sade" or "Sadie" Hilton Hamilton
<br />(1877-1942). Sade was herself a member of a pioneer Boulder County family from England. At the time of the 1930
<br />census, Sade Hamilton's brother, Samuel Hilton, also resided with them at 925 Jefferson.
<br />The sister of Sade Hilton Hamilton and Samuel Hilton, Bessie Hilton, married Norman Cable and had Thomas Cable.
<br />In 1952, Thomas Cable and his wife, Mary Malczyk, purchased the property at 933 Jefferson from Frank Hamilton,
<br />who owned and resided at 925 Jefferson and who was Thomas Cable's uncle by Frank's marriage to Sade Hilton.
<br />Tom Cable was born in Louisville in 1919 and died in 2010 at the age of 91. According to his obituary, he "lived all his
<br />life in Louisville, much of it only two blocks from the house where he was born," which was at 932 Main Street
<br />(5BL8018). He married Mary Malczyk in 1942 and served in the US Navy during World War II.
<br />According to his obituary, Tom Cable began his career as a baker, which was a trade that he learned in the Navy. He
<br />became Baker Plant Manager for King Soopers. He was also highly involved in the Louisville community, including
<br />as a volunteer firefighter.
<br />Mary Malczyk Cable was born in Superior in 1920 as the daughter of Andrew and Rosie Malczyk, who farmed in
<br />Superior. She and Tom Cable met at a dance in Eldorado Springs. Like her husband, she was very active in
<br />Louisville organizations. She died in 1996.
<br />Thomas and Mary Cable's daughter, Patricia Lester, stated that her parents had the house at 933 Jefferson built in
<br />1952, and she and her parents and sister moved in when she was in the second grade. Previously, they had lived at
<br />a few different locations in Louisville, including with her grandmother, Bessie Hilton Cable, at her home at 932 Main
<br />(5BL8018). She recalls that the back room at 933 Jefferson was added in 1966 or 1967. The swing set in the yard
<br />was made in Louisville in the 1950s by Dom Tomeo.
