Historical Background <br />This modest residence was constructed in 1908, and has served as a single-family dwelling since that time. The <br />property's original owner is not known, however, it was evidently associated with the Domonick Romano family in <br />the 1920s and 1930s. Domonick and Mary Romano came to Louisville in the 1920s. Like many other men during <br />this time period, Domonick was employed as a coal miner. In the 1930s, he was employed at the Louisville - <br />Lafayette Coal Company. Their children included Carmen, Ernest, and Vito, who later (in the late 1940s) became <br />owner of this house. <br />The 1951 Boulder County Directory lists the John E. Boyer family as living at 536 Main Street. Members of the <br />family included John, a carpenter, his wife Mavis, and Vernon Boyer, also a carpenter. Earlier, in 1936, John Boyer <br />had worked as a loader at the Centennial Mine. Also listed at this address in the 1951 Boulder County Directory, <br />is William Leasure. He was employed as a machinist at the Armco Plant in Denver. From the late 1950s to the <br />present, this property has been owned and occupied by members of the Fred E. and Marian Leach family. In the <br />late 1950s, Fred was employed in the maintenance division of the Colorado State Highway Department. <br />36.
