Resource Number: 5BL11317 <br />Temporary Resource Number: 157508435013 <br />Discuss: This building is being recorded as part of a 2010-2011 intensive -level historical and architectural <br />survey of Jefferson Place, Louisville's first residential subdivision, platted in 1880. The purpose of the survey is <br />to determine if there is potential for National Register, State Register or local historic districts. Jefferson Place <br />is eligible as a State Register historic district under Criterion A, Ethnic Heritage, European, for its association <br />with European immigrants who first lived here and whose descendants continued to live here for over fifty <br />years. The period of significance for the State Register historic district is 1881 — 1980. Jefferson Place is <br />potentially eligible as a National Register historic district under Criterion A, Ethnic Heritage, European. <br />However it needs data to determine dates of some modifications, and to more definitely establish the significant <br />impacts of various European ethnic groups on the local culture of Louisville. The period of significance of a <br />National Register district is 1881 — 1963. Jefferson Place is eligible as a local Louisville historic district under <br />local Criterion B, Social, as it exemplifies the cultural and social heritage of the community. <br />European immigrant families flocked to Colorado coal mining communities, including Louisville, in the late <br />nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in search of economic opportunities they could not find in their own <br />countries. Louisville's Welch Coal Mine, along with other mines in the area, recruited skilled workers from <br />western Europe. In the early years before 1900, most of the miners who lived in Jefferson Place came from <br />English-speaking countries. <br />If there is National Register district potential, is this building: Contributing X Noncontributing <br />46. If the building is in existing National Register district, is it: Contributing _ Noncontributing <br />The property is not within an existing National Register district. <br />VIII.
