Edwin Carveth. They sold Lots 7 & 8 separately, and kept Lots 5 & 6 (which would become 621 <br />Lincoln) as the side yard to their house at 625 Lincoln. <br />In the late 1930s, the Bittners appear to have relinquished ownership of Lots 5 & 6 due to <br />nonpayment of taxes. However, by a document recorded in 1943, their daughter Anna Marie <br />Bittner paid the Boulder County Treasurer and apparently became the owner of the parcel. <br />In 1947, Anna Marie Bittner sold Lots 5 & 6 (making up the side yard of the house at 625 <br />Lincoln) to Damon Brown. Damon Brown then sold these lots making up 621 Lincoln to David <br />"Pat" and Maxine McHugh in 1950. <br />McHugh Family Ownership, 1950-2020; Date of Construction <br />When David "Pat" McHugh (1926-2013) and Maxine Chiolino McHugh (1927-2019) purchased <br />these lots in 1950, they had been married for two years. <br />David McHugh for the most part grew up just down the street at 548 Lincoln, where his parents <br />made their longtime home. In 1944, when he was 17, he enlisted in the Navy and served in the <br />Pacific. Upon his discharge from the Navy in 1946, he went back to living with his parents at 548 <br />Lincoln and started to work for Dow Chemical (Rocky Flats). He and Maxine then married in <br />1948. <br />Maxine Chiolino had come from Kansas as a child with her family in the early 1930s as part of <br />an influx of coal mining families to Louisville from other states during the Depression. Along <br />with her parents and siblings, some of her mother's French relatives by the name of Merceiz <br />also moved to Louisville. <br />David and Maxine's three children were born in 1952, 1955, and 1956. According to one of their <br />daughters in a 2019 conversation with the Historical Museum staff, their father first <br />constructed the garage at 621 Lincoln, and this was the family home while he constructed the <br />main house. The Boulder County Assessor cards for 621 Lincoln confirm this. The following <br />image and ground layout from the 1950 County Assessor card show the first home, which later <br />became the garage: <br />2 <br />
