One can also see 421 County and the other three houses grouped on the west side of County Road and shows where the Acme railroad spur crossed just to the north of 421 County. The previous two photos show how the short section of today's Front Street that marks the northern edge of the 421 County property, and which today goes to the west from County Road into a cul-de-sac for the 1990s development called Front Court, matches exactly with the tracks of the old Acme Mine spur. 929 Parkview became the home of Joe and Irene Barbara Madonna, and they raised their children there. After Joe died in 1984, Irene Barbara continued to live in the house. She passed away in 2020. In 1992, Irene Barbara Madonna sold property to the north of and adjacent to 929 Parkview that Joe Madonna had acquired in the 1950s. This became the Front Court Subdivision. The transaction appears to have included a small section of 929 Parkview and slightly altered the legal description of the property at 929 Parkview. The current owners of 929 Parkview are Joe and Irene Barbara Madonna's son, Gordon Madonna, and his wife, Gail. Public records of the work that owners have had done on the house can be found on the City website here: Parkview 929 - Laserfiche WebLink (louisvilleco.gov) The preceding research is based on a review of relevant and available online County property records, census records, oral history interviews, Louisville directories, and Louisville Historical Museum maps, files, and obituary records. 5
