Historical Background Boulder County Assessor records indicate that this house was built in 1910, and it has served as a single-family residence since that time. From the late 1930s to the present (2000) this house has been associated with the Guenzi family. Mrs. Edith M. Guenzi is the home's present owner and resident. The Guenzi family came to Louisville in the early 1900s, and by the 1920s, there were two or three Guenzi families living in Louisville. Men in the Guenzi family, including Henry, Milo, Louis, and Carlo, all worked, for the most part, as coal miners. Louis Guenzi, though, is listed in the 1928 Boulder County Directory as a Clerk at John Stoiber's billiards parlor. Edith Guenzi's parents were Carlo and Josephine Guenzi. By 1936, Josephine had been widowed, and was probably living in this house. (Boulder County directories list the family's address simply as "East Louisville.") Edith Guenzi, in the late 1930s, was employed as a telephone operator at the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph office, which was then located at 913 Main Street. 36.
