921 Main St., Louisville <br />Summary: The property at 921 is located in Original Louisville and was owned by the Doeffler/Helburg <br />family of Louisville for 42 years and by the Lippis family for 18 years. It was a single family residence. <br />Early Owners, 1878-1902; When Constructed <br />Louis Nawatny sold this property in 1879, just one year after he platted the town. Its owners before <br />1902 were Lucy Welch (ownership 1879-80), Caspar Baier (ownership 1880-84), Henry Cope (ownership <br />1884-91), and Meda Tavenner McNeff (ownership 1891-1902). <br />The original part of the house, which consisted of the front of the house and the north section of the <br />rear, is believed to have been constructed no later than 1893, as the house appears on the 1893 <br />Sanborn map for Louisville. (The Boulder County Assessor card for this property estimates 1900 as the <br />year of construction. However, construction dates given by the County for properties in Louisville <br />frequently have been found to be erroneous.) <br />Doeffler/Helburg Family ownership, 1902-1944 <br />By 1902, Joseph Doeffler purchased this house, and it became the home for his family. The name is at <br />times given as Deffler and Derfler. His daughter, Mary Doeffler, married Victor Helburg, the town <br />marshal who was killed in 1915. The house was sold in 1944 by Marie Helburg. <br />Lippis Family ownership, 1944-1962 <br />The Lippis family owned this house and lived here beginning in 1944. The family consisted of Benjamin <br />and Mary Lippis and their children, Frank and Lorraine. <br />The following images are from the 1948 County Assessor card (under the address of 919 Main, but the <br />legal description on the card indicates that this is what is today 921 Main): <br />
