It <br />became the location of Louisville's <br />Frenchtown neighborhood. The home was <br />constructed in about 1935 following the <br />closure of the nearby Acme mine and <br />leveling of the Acme mine dump. Otto <br />Schreiter built the home, and it served as <br />the longtime residence of the Schreiter <br />family. <br />Prior to construction of the home, the lot <br />was vacant following its original sale in <br />1909. Because of the close proximity to <br />the Acme mine and mine dump, this was <br />likely an undesirable location to build on <br />when the area was first platted. <br />1909 Drumm's Wall Map of Louisville, 832 Parkview highlighted <br />
