Even though the Boulder County Assessor's <br />Office shows this building being built in 1910, the building shows up on the 1909 <br />Drumm's wall map in its current location. <br /> <br />Harrison "Harry" Ball was store manager of the State Mercantile in 1910. He and his <br />wife Nettie had a daughter named Mary Ethel Ball who later became the first female <br />institutional representative when she became the acting Dean of Students at CU <br />University in the 1930's. <br /> <br />The Ball's owned the house from 1909 until 1918, when Frank Carveth purchased the <br />house. Frank was one of the partners of the store Carveth Brothers and Darby, which <br />was located in the State Mercantile building. Frank was unfortunately killed in a rail <br />accident in 1920 while on the "Kite Line" - which ran between Denver and Boulder. His <br />wife and children continued to own the house until 1932. <br /> <br />1 <br />
