Associated buildings, features, or objects: There is a freestanding garage at the south end of the lot, facing west, with a concrete driveway to Jefferson Avenue.

ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY 25. Date of Construction: Estimate: Actual: 1903 Source of information: Boulder County Assessor states that the house was built in 1903. However, it seems likely that at least part of the house was constructed before that. The 1900 Federal Census states that Arthur Carveth, the owner of the property at the time, owned his home. This was the only property that he owned. 26. Architect: Unknown Source of information: N/A 27. Builder/Contractor: Assumed to be Arthur Carveth, since he was a carpenter. Source of information: Carveth is identified as a carpenter in the 1900 Federal Census. 28. Original owner: Arthur Carveth Source of information: Boulder County 29. Construction history (include description and dates of major additions, alterations, or demolitions): The original portion of the house is on Lot 22, the western of the two lots that comprise the property. This house is shown as a simple rectangular structure on the 1909 Drumm's Wall Map of Louisville at the Louisville Historical Museum. In 1891, Arthur Carveth recorded the deed for Lot 21. At some time after that, an east - west wing was added along Pine Street, creating an L-shaped plan. Judging from the roof geometry, it appears that a third wing was added later that filled in the open southeast corner of the L. A gable -roofed projecting bay on the south side may have been added at the same time, or possibly later, but it was in place by 1948. Two brick chimneys are visible in the 1948 Assessor's photo but only the northern of the two still exists. The house has replacement siding, fascia, soffit and windows, all of aluminum and installed at an unknown date after 1948. Wood shingles were replaced with asphalt shingles after 1948. A building permit for unknown work was issued in 1974. Garage siding was replaced in April 1998. 30. Original location X Moved Date of move(s): V. HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS 31.

Historical background: This building is part of Jefferson Place, the first residential subdivision in Louisville. Development of Jefferson Place The subdivision in which 700 Jefferson is located is Jefferson Place. Charles Welch was its developer and he platted Jefferson Place in 1880. Welch was a prominent Colorado businessman who played a large role in the founding of Louisville and the opening of its first coal mine, the Welch Mine. Carveth Ownership, 1891 - 1925 Boulder County records show that a deed from Charles Welch for Lot 22 was recorded in 1891, and a deed from Charles Welch for Lot 21 was recorded in 1899. Arthur and Ann Carveth were both born in England. Arthur was a carpenter. Arthur lived 1836 to 1913 and Ann lived 1838 to 1920. They likely moved to Louisville between 1885 and 1891. In 1885, they were living in Iowa, according to the 1885 Iowa State Census. In 1891, Arthur Carveth acquired the property at 700 Pine in Louisville, with the deed having been recorded that year. 3
