Earliest Owners of Property, 1894-1906 In 1894, John Connell, who was the developer of the Acme Place subdivision, separately sold Lot 5 (all of which is part of 545 Jefferson today) and Lot 6 (a part of which is part of 545 Jefferson today) to two different buyers. Lot 5, Block 3 Connell sold Lot 5 to Michelangelo Bartimoccia (stated in the property records as "Mick Bartimuch") for the sum of $50 in 1894. Mick Bartimoccia was born in Italy in 1862. He and his wife, "Palmala," came to the U.S. in about 1890 with their daughter, Michelina. They then had another daughter, Mary. He worked as a coal miner in Louisville. In about 1899, Palmala died and he remarried to Anna Lombarda. The family is shown in federal census records in 1900 as living in the vicinity of Jefferson Ave. south of Pine, where their listed neighbors are others who are known to have lived on S. Jefferson Ave. Mick Bartimoccia is listed as being the owner of the house, and records indicate that he did not own another house in Louisville. Mick and Anna's daughter Angelina was born in 1903. In about 1903, Mick Bartimoccia died and the property at 545 Jefferson was inherited by wife and daughters. The 1904 Louisville directory shows Anna under the name of "Annie Bartomatcle," a widow, living on Jefferson between Pine and Hutchinson (which is the location of 545 Jefferson). In 1906, his daughters Michelina and Mary sold their combined 1/3 interest in Lot 5 to their stepmother, Anna, for $50. The next day, Anna and her second husband, Ferdinando Lombardi, sold Lot 5 to Frank Scarpella. Lot 6, Block 3 In addition to the other lots such as Lot 5, Block 3 that he sold in 1894, Connell sold Lot 6 in 1894 to Henri Dhieux, who sold it in 1895 to Francois Senechal. Next, in 1897, Pascal Allart (sometimes spelled as Allard) became the owner of Lot 6 as well as Lot 7. In 1901, Pascal Allart sold Lots 6 and 7 to Frank Scarpella.
