Intermediate use(s): Single Dwelling <br />33. Current use(s): Single Dwelling <br />34. Site type(s): Residence <br />35. Historical Background <br />This house has served as a single-family dwelling, since the time of its construction circa 1920. The property's <br />appraisal card suggests that the building has been moved twice, and little is known about the building's early <br />residents and owners. There is a good chance, though, that they were employed by area coal mines. During the ti <br />late 1800s and early 1900s, Louisville's economy was principally based on the area's coal industry, and <br />consequently, the livelihoods of most of the community's inhabitants were directly, or indirectly, dependent on the <br />coal mines. <br />From the late 1930s (and perhaps earlier) until the early 1970s, this was the home of John and Mary E. Juganos. <br />John was a coal miner, who, in the 1950s, was employed by the Louisville - Lafayette Coal Company. Boulder <br />County Assessor records indicate that the current owners, Vincent and Mona R. Ferrera, have owned the property <br />since 1979. Louisville's section in the Longmont City Directory, however, lists members of the Juganos family as <br />owners into the early 1990s. The Ferreras are a long-time Louisville family, who previously held property to the <br />south of this residence. The Ferreras currently reside in the residence at 600 z LaFarge Avenue. <br />36.
