It was owned by a single family from 1913 to 1997 - the <br />Gosselin/Mancini/Wisik family. Members of the family were employed by local Louisville <br />restaurant establishments. Staff found that the structure had maintained much of its <br />physical integrity. The rear portion of the house may not be original but it was historic <br />and that did not impact integrity.

After removing the non -historic <br />siding, it is possible to see where the windows were located and what the size would <br />have been. Based on further review, it does appear that the sunroom is not original but <br />
