<br />13. National Register Eligibility Assessment:
<br />Eligible Not eligible X Need data
<br />Explain: The depot building was moved in 1962, resulting in a loss of integrity of location, setting, and
<br />association relative to its significance as a railroad depot.
<br />13A. Colorado State Register: Not Eligible X
<br />Local landmark: Eligible X
<br />The property does not have sufficient integrity to qualify for individual listing to either the National or State
<br />Registers of Historic Places. However, it has been in its current location and setting for over 50 years. Since its
<br />relocation in 1962, it has achieved local significance as the home of community fraternal and service
<br />organizations and as a local preschool. It is also a visual symbol of the historic role of the railroad and the coal
<br />transportation industry in Louisville. For these reasons it is worthy of nomination as a local landmark.
<br />13B. Historic District Potential: This building is outside the boundaries of a State Register historic district, local
<br />historic district, and a potential National Register historic district. Due to loss of integrity, the southeast portion of
<br />the Jefferson Place Subdivision, in which this building is located, is not included within the boundaries.
<br />Discuss: This building is being recorded as part of a 2010-2011 intensive -level historical and architectural
<br />survey of Jefferson Place, Louisville's first residential subdivision, platted in 1880. The purpose of the survey is
<br />to determine if there is potential for National Register, State Register or local historic districts. Most of the
<br />Jefferson Place subdivision, but not this portion, is eligible as a State Register historic district under Criterion A,
<br />Ethnic Heritage, European, for its association with European immigrants who first lived here and whose
<br />descendants continued to live here for over fifty years. The period of significance for the State Register historic
<br />district is 1881 — 1980. Jefferson Place is potentially eligible as a National Register historic district under
<br />Criterion A, Ethnic Heritage, European. However it needs data to determine dates of some modifications, and
<br />to more definitely establish the significant impacts of various European ethnic groups on the local culture of
<br />Louisville. The period of significance of a National Register district is 1881 — 1963. Jefferson Place is eligible
<br />as a local Louisville historic district under local Criterion B, Social, as it exemplifies the cultural and social
<br />heritage of the community.
<br />14. Management Recommendations: The property is worthy of nomination as a Louisville Local Landmark.
<br />15. Photograph Types and Numbers: 5BL920_628LaFarge_01 through 07.
<br />16. Artifact and Field Documentation Storage Location: Electronic files of forms with embedded photos and
<br />maps at Colorado Historical Society. Electronic files of forms, and electronic files of photographs at City of
<br />Louisville, Colorado, Planning Department.
