The mine closed in 1928, and the mine dump was leveled in 1933. This opened access to Main Street (previously Second Street) to the north and likely made these lots more desirable for residential structures. In 1935, John Unger sold Lots 1-4 to Otto Schreiter. Six years earlier, Otto married Mary Peggy Varra. He worked as a carpenter and in construction as well as working as a millworker. It is believed he constructed the house at 832 Parkview on Lots 3 and 4. Lots 1 and 2 comprised the side yard. Boulder County lists the date of construction as 1935, which is likely based on when Schreiter purchased the lots. In 1952, the Schreiters had a house moved to Lots 1 and 2 from the Varra ranch, which records show became a home for their daughter and her husband, and later a rental. In 1961, the Schreiters moved to California. It is believed the home was a rental until they sold it to David and Shirley Titman in 1975. In 1983, the Titmans sold it to Willys and Arlene Monroe. In 1994, the City of Louisville vacated a portion of the Acme Mine Spur, which had been the location of the railroad tracks that used to run alongside the parcel to the north. Per state law, a portion of the vacated spur vested with this property. As part of the Louisville Historical Museum's Oral History Program, Barbara Hesson recalled in a recording that when she was a girl in the 1940s, the porch did not have the rock base there today and shown in the historical photos. Peryl Cain and Joe Manning purchased the property from the Monroes in 2017 and currently reside on the property.
