4 <br /> <br />Fauson Family Ownership, 1945-1988 <br /> <br />In 1945, Elizabeth Alps sold her home to Julius Fauson (1900-1973) and Leah Fauson (1904- <br />1987). Both had been born in France and were part of Louisville’s French community. The <br />Fausons had moved to Louisville from southern Illinois in 1934. Julius was a coal mine r and <br />worked at the Hi-Way Mine. Their five children were Norman, Liberta, Julius Jr., Rosemary, and <br />Herman “Herm.” <br /> <br />Herm Fauson (1929-2018), who lived in the house as a teenager while he attended Louisville <br />High School (graduating in 1948), later in life was elected mayor of Louisville and served from <br />1986 to 1992. His occupation as a barber on Main Street and conversations with his customers <br />no doubt helped him keep aware of the community’s attitudes and needs. While he was mayor, <br />the Louisville Recreation Center and Coal Creek Golf Course were established; there was a new <br />water plant and improvements were made to the sewer plant; and a bond issue was passed for <br />improvements to South Boulder Road, downtown, and the former library building. <br /> <br />The following photo and layout of the house are from the 19 48 Boulder County Assessor card <br />for 637 Lincoln, during the ownership by the Fausons: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
