708 Grant, including his son John Foss who would have been born in the house in 1906. In 1910, <br />Foss is recorded in the federal census as working as a coal miner in Louisville. <br />Boulder County gives 1904 as the date of construction for this house, both on the 1948 County <br />Assessor card and on the current website. Boulder County has been found to be in error with <br />respect to the date of construction of some Louisville buildings, so other evidence is looked to. <br />In this case, no evidence indicating a different construction date was located. The house is <br />shown in the correct location on the 1909 Drumm's Wall Map at the Louisville Historical <br />Museum. <br />708 Grant shown on Drumm's 1909 Map of Louisville. <br />Jacob W. Pack Ownership, 1909-1913 <br />Jake Pack (1864-1925) purchased the house from Nestor Foss for $800 in 1909. Pack came to <br />Colorado from Illinois in 1890 and by the time he purchased this house, his family consisted of <br />his wife, Isabelle Chatten (1866-1934) and three sons — Lemmist, Frank, and Roy (ages 6-14 <br />years). Pack had been serving as Louisville's Town marshal since 1899 and continued in this role <br />until he sold the house in 1913. During his tenure as Town Marshal, Pack appeared in several <br />local newspapers as being a genial, and action -oriented Marshal. There were frequent notices <br />of Pack actively investigating and pursuing thieves and burglars as seen in these newspaper <br />clips from 1907 and 1911: <br />J. W.
