Historical Background <br />Boulder County Assessor records indicate that this house was built in 1910, and it has served as a single-family <br />dwelling since that time. Although the home's original and early owners are unknown, there is a good chance that <br />some members of their families were employed at area coal mines. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, <br />Louisville's economy was based, to a great extent, on the area's coal industry. As a result, the livelihoods of most <br />of the community's inhabitants were directly, or indirectly, dependent on coal. <br />From the early 1950s to the present (2000) this house has been owned by the Gardner family. J.K. and Julia A. <br />Gardner purchased it from G.R. Henning who owned it for an undetermined period of time. The Hennings appear <br />not to have lived here, though, according to Boulder County directories. In 1959, this was the residence of Darold <br />and Lorraine Bryan. From the late 1960s to the present, this has been the home of Mrs. Violet M. Gardner. <br />36.
