The house at 1045 Front became the home of their daughter, Rose (also called Rosa and Rosie) <br />Scarano (1872-1928), whose husband was Michael LaSalle (1867-1945). They had married in <br />Italy in about 1888. <br />There is no direct evidence of who was occupying the house at 1045 Front at the time of the <br />1900 census, but the 1904 directory for Louisville shows that Michael and Rose LaSalle were <br />living in the Caledonia Place Addition where 1045 Front is located, and as mentioned, they were <br />also living in this vicinity at the time of the 1900 census. There is the possibility that the family <br />rented the house before Rose LaSalle's parents' purchased it, or that there was a rent -to -buy <br />arrangement. <br />The 1910 census shows Rose and Michael LaSalle and their family to be living on Front St. in the <br />correct approximate location for it to be 1045 Front, judging by the presence of neighbors also <br />listed on the census as living near them. The family at that time consisted of them and their <br />children Toney, William, Pasquale, Louis, Adeline, and John. Michael worked as a coal miner. <br />The following photo is believed to show 1045 Front in the background on the left. The <br />photographer wrote "Jacovetta's" on the photo. Research and evidence suggest that the view <br />in this photo is looking north and that it shows the front yard of the Pasquale and Christina <br />Jacovetta home at 1025 Front St. On the right side of the photo, railroad tracks are seen parallel <br />to the street. The next house to the north, seen on the left side of the photo, would be 1033 <br />Front, with 1045 Front visible just beyond. The 1910 census records contain additional <br />confirming information that show where these families lived along this block of Front St. <br />Pasquale Jacovetta's youngest child, a daughter named Thelma, was born in June 1916. She is <br />believed to be the young child in the photo. He sold the house in November 1917. The photo is <br />believed to have been taken in 1917. <br />7 r*. <br />�r .r <br />GC <br />In 1917, William and Cogetta Scarano officially deeded the property at 1045 Front to their <br />daughter, Rose. Rose and her family continued to live in the house. The 1920 census records <br />show that Michael still worked as a coal miner, and also living with them were their children <br />Frank, Adeline, John, and Victor. <br />3 <br />
