Historical Background Built circa 1890, this building served as a residence into the early 1950s. The house's first owner was evidently Joseph Lackner who owned and operated the Track Inn next door to the north. (For further information on Lackner please see the Architectural Inventory Form for 1006 Pine Street - 5BL961.10). Boulder County Directories indicate that the property was vacant in 1936 and 1940. Owners during the 1940s and 1950s included George and Florence Morgan, Betty J. Symanski, and Mary T. Zedrick. The property was evidently maintained as a rental for most of these years, however. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Frank R. and Lucy Brown lived here. Frank was employed at the University of Colorado in an unknown capacity. Mrs. Josephina Duran also lived here during the early 1960s. Other members of the Duran family lived nearby at 616 Front Street. The property changed hands several times between circa 1966 and the late 1980s. Owners during this time included Raymond Garcia, Mike Fidler, and Rose Olivas. In about 1990, the property was converted to commercial use. Jim and Judy Garcia (who still own the property in 2000) ran the Second Hand Rose consignment store here in 1990. From 1994 to 1997, John Sabah and Leah Haenselman operated the Lighthouse gourmet coffee shop here. They were followed I by the La Hacienda furniture store, which was located here through 1999. The property's current retail tenant, the CD Depot, opened in January 2000. 36.
