According to 1941 and 1943 directories, the business was then operated by both Boney La Salle <br />and Edward J. "Eddie" Jordan as partners. The name "Louisville Billiards" first appeared in a <br />Louisville directory in 1943. By 1946, Eddie Jordan alone was operating the billiard hall. By <br />1949, Harold Jordan had become the operator of Louisville Billiards. <br />Eddie Jordan is remembered by residents for his pool hall where he would host gamblers from <br />Denver who would gamble in the basement of the building, sometimes for a whole weekend at <br />a time. Authorities typically looked the other way. Eddie Jordan later moved from Louisville and <br />is remembered for having operated the Wolhurst Country Club in Littleton. <br />This photo from the 1948 County Assessor card shows the billiard hall, called Louisville Billiards: <br />\ Al <br />13,00I.
