Ralph Grunkemeyer died of a heart attack in 1954 at the end of a day spent on <br />Horsetooth Reservoir near Fort Collins. According to his obituary in the Louisville Times, <br />besides being a prominent business owner, he had become involved in civic affairs and <br />had been elected to (and served as president of) the board of the Sanitation District in <br />the early 1950s when Louisville was seeking funding from voters for a sewage system. <br />Helen Grunkemeyer continued to live at 601 McKinley with her children. According to <br />her obituary, Helen worked as a registered nurse and retired in 1974. She sold the <br />Bungalow Drug business itself in 1954, but owned the Bungalow Drug building until <br />1973. It was torn down that year to make way for the City Hall parking lot. <br />The following images show the photo of the house from the 1948 County Assessor card <br />and a ground layout sketch of the house at that time. <br />1 <br />1 •�li <br />wv _ <br />GROUND PLAN SKETCH I <br />M1ACAY[ N�MB[R 6TORI[!t <br />FRONT <br />2 <br />
