In 1977, Enid Maxwell sold 701 Garfield and separately sold the lots to the north that <br />became 725 Garfield. <br />McDonald Family Ownership, 1977-1978 <br />From 1977 to 1978, Jerome and Barbara McDonald were the owners of the house. The <br />1978 article from the Louisville Times stated that they were "restoring the extensive <br />woodwork to its original finish." <br />Mohr Ownership, 1978-1994 <br />In 1978, the McDonalds sold 701 Garfield to Dean Realty Co., which then sold it to R. <br />Michael & Barbara Mohr. <br />An inventory record was completed for 701 Garfield in 1982. The architectural <br />description was written as follows: "This stone house has a facade with a full porch and <br />gabled dormer. This is one of the few stone houses in Louisville. It has a stone <br />foundation with a rectangular footprint. There is a porch along most of the front <br />elevation. The structure has a hipped and gabled roof with dormers on front and south <br />sides." <br />The inventory form additionally mentioned that the dormers appear to have been <br />added at an unknown date. (However, it should be noted that the dormer windows <br />appear in the photos taken not long after the Romeo family built the house. It is <br />possible that the writer based his information on the 1978 article referenced above.) <br />The record indicated that the brick and roofed addition on the south and west <br />elevations had harmed the visual integrity of the house. <br />Later Owners <br />In 1994, the Mohrs sold 701 Garfield to John C. Seibert and Elizabeth E. Salkind. <br />Ownership was conveyed in 1998 to Sarah Klahn and Michael Freehling. <br />The owners from 2004 until 2012 were Callan Childs and Vaughn McWilliams. The house <br />was one of the homes on the 2005 Louisville Holiday Home Tour during that time. <br />In 2012, the house was sold to Kevin and Nicolle Sloane. Since September 2016, the <br />owners of record are Brian Harvey and Betsy Wells Harvey. <br />Sources <br />The preceding research is based on a review of relevant and available online County property records, <br />census records, oral history interviews, and related resources, and Louisville directories, newspaper <br />articles, maps, files, obituary records, survey records, and historical photographs from the collection of <br />the Louisville Historical Museum. <br />13 <br />
