Following the death of his mother in 1936, John Allera continued to live at 1005 La Farge. He was a business teacher at Louisville High School. His future wife, Elma Kinister, was also a teacher there. She roomed a few houses up the street at 1045 La Farge prior to their marriage. In 1943, John and Elma moved away from Louisville and John sold 1005 La Farge to Amelia La Salle. She and her husband, Frank "Boney" La Salle, lived in the house in the 1940s. June Enrietto, who has lived on this block of La Farge for nearly her entire life, stated that she believes that Boney La Salle was the person who planted the trees that are still in front of the house. In 1945, Amelia La Salle sold the property to Charles P. and Bertha Stockdale. Dr. Charles Stockdale was the first physician to work and live at this property, beginning in 1945. June Enrietto stated that she believes that it was Dr. Stockdale who added the medical office next to the garage. This building, which is still next to the garage and which faces South Street, had a waiting/reception room in the front and a small medical area in the back. Directories show that Charles and Bertha Stockdale lived at 1001 La Farge and he had his business there. In 1947, Rolland and Arly Frickey purchased the property. He was a chiropractor. They lived in the house and he had his business at this address. The following two images are from the 1948 Boulder County Assessor card and show the house from that time, when it was owned by the Frickeys, along with a sketch of the layout. The photo is believed to date from 1948. Notations on the card indicate that the blue markings on the layout sketch were made in 1948 and the red markings in 1950. 3
