card for 916 Main next door on the same date of Sept. 9, 1948, but left off the year when writing up the card. This is additional evidence that the building was constructed by 1948. Also, the 1949 directory for Louisville states that John Madonna's occupation was "billiards," and in December 1949, the Louisville Times listed the Bug Dust Pool Hall as being one of the sponsors of a Christmas show. The County giving the date of construction as being 1950 may be based on the Assessor filling out the orange -colored card with the ground layout in 1950. For these reasons, the year of construction is strongly believed to have been 1948. The following photo is from the 1948 Boulder County Assessor card for 916 Main. On the far left, the original Hutchinson -Clarkson -Hancock family home appears. The middle building shows the building that would soon become Joe D'Amato's "Joe's Fruit Market." The building on the right shows John Madonna's Bug Dust Pool Hall at 916 Main, with a sign already installed. The 1948 Assessor card for 916 Main did not have a ground layout. The separate Assessor card that does have the ground layout is dated 1950. 3
