The next known set of tenants at 1209 Main were Robert Hall (1921-2012) and his family. He <br />came to Louisville in 1948 to be the principal and science teacher at the nearby Louisville High <br />School at 1341 Main that had opened in 1940. He and his wife, Viola, and sons Russell, Tyler, <br />and Wesley are shown on the 1950 census as living at 1209 Main, with Jim Colacci also residing <br />on the property at the same time and working as a "poultryman." The Halls left Louisville in <br />1951 for Robert to take a position elsewhere. <br />Starting in 1951, Joe Stelmack (1904-1989) and Agnes Pankoski Stelmack (1910-1995) began to <br />rent the house. They were both born in Superior. Jim Colacci continued to live on the premises <br />at this time as well. According to the 1956 Louisville directory, Jim was living in the "rear." This <br />rental situation turned into the Stelmacks actually purchasing the property. <br />Ownership of Property by Stelmack Family (1959-1996) <br />In 1959, Agnes and Joe Stelmack bought 1209 Main and continued to live there. (The 1960 <br />directory lists Jim Colacci as still living at 1209 Main as well, although this may have been a <br />carryover from their situation in 1959.) The house was sold after Agnes's 1995 death. <br />Jim Colacci died in 1964. His August 7, 1964 obituary in the Louisville Times stated that his <br />death followed a long illness. <br />Aerial Photos <br />This excerpt of a 1962 aerial photo of Louisville, looking east, shows a back view of the property <br />at 1209 Main, including outbuildings that are now gone: <br />0 <br />
