National Register Eligibility Assessment: Eligible Not eligible X Need data Explain: The property lacks sufficient integrity to be individually eligible to the National Register. 13A. Colorado State Register and Louisville Local Landmark: Not Eligible X 13B. Historic District Potential: This building is outside the boundaries of a State Register historic district, local historic district, and a potential National Register historic district. Due to loss of integrity, the southeast portion of the Jefferson Place Subdivision, in which this building is located, is not included within the boundaries. Discuss: This building is being recorded as part of a 2010-2011 intensive -level historical and architectural survey of Jefferson Place, Louisville's first residential subdivision, platted in 1880. The purpose of the survey is to determine if there is potential for National Register, State Register or local historic districts. Most of the Jefferson Place subdivision, but not this portion, is eligible as a State Register historic district under Criterion A, Ethnic Heritage, European, for its association with European immigrants who first lived here and whose descendants continued to live here for over fifty years. The period of significance for the State Register historic district is 1881 — 1980. Jefferson Place is potentially eligible as a National Register historic district under Criterion A, Ethnic Heritage, European. However it needs data to determine dates of some modifications, and to more definitely establish the significant impacts of various European ethnic groups on the local culture of Louisville. The period of significance of a National Register district is 1881 — 1963. Jefferson Place is eligible as a local Louisville historic district under local Criterion B, Social, as it exemplifies the cultural and social heritage of the community. 14.
