Statement of significance: This house is associated with the historic development of Louisville as one of the early twentieth-century homes in Louisville's first residential subdivision, Jefferson Place. Although Jefferson Place was platted in 1880, little construction actually took place until the early years of the twentieth century. The property is significant for its association with residential development in Louisville during the first half of the twentieth century, and significant for its association with European (Austrian) immigrant coal -mining families who flocked to Colorado's coal mining communities in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in search of economic opportunities they could not find in their own countries. It is especially significant because it has been owned by members of a single family throughout its existence. The house is architecturally significant as an intact example of the Craftsman and Bungalow style/types. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: Since its 1902 construction date, the property has been modified very slightly and retains excellent integrity of setting, materials, design, location, workmanship, feeling and association. 6
