Bridget Bacon, Louisville Historical Museum Department of Cultural Services City of Louisville, Colorado May 2022 LCityo Louisville COL " SINCE 1878 516 Lincoln Ave. History Legal Description: "N 15 FT LOT 22 & ALL LOTS 23 & 24 LESS MIN BLK 4 ACME PLACE," per Boulder County Year of Construction: 1898 Summary: This property was home to several families since it was constructed in 1898, including the Warembourg family from France and the Zinge family from Hungary and France. Building permit records indicate that it was remodeled in the 1970s and 1990s. Development of the Acme Place Addition In 1893, John Connell, who had helped to establish the Acme Mine at what is now the corner of Roosevelt and Hutchinson, platted the subdivision of Acme Place. It covered what are now the 500 blocks of Lincoln, Grant, Jefferson, and La Farge Avenues. The Acme Place subdivision was only the fourth addition to Original Louisville and was likely developed due to its proximity to the Acme Mine that was started in 1888. The 1909 Drumm's Wall Map of Louisville shows that the 500 blocks of Lincoln and Grant were well populated with houses by 1909. Boulder County Property records indicate that the land that Connell used to establish Acme Place had been acquired directly from the Acme Coal Mining Company. In 1911, Rocky Mountain Fuel Company acquired the mine and was the owner/operator of the Acme Mine until it closed in 1928. Harvey Dutton Ownership of Property, 1897-1902; Discussion of Date of Construction In 1897, John Connell sold Lots 20-24, Block 4 (which today comprises both 508 Lincoln and 516 Lincoln) to Harvey Dutton. 1
