National Register Eligibility Assessment: Eligible Not eligible X Need data Explain: While the property has sufficient integrity and significance to be a contributing resource to a potential historic district, it lacks sufficient integrity to be individually eligible to the National Register. Integrity of setting is compromised somewhat by the 1970s secondary residence in the rear of the property, which changes the size and shape of the back yard. It lacks integrity of materials due to the vinyl siding and vinyl windows. Integrity of design appears to be fairly intact, since the replacement windows are installed in existing openings. Integrity of location, workmanship, feeling and association are intact. 13A. Colorado State Register: Eligible Not Eligible X 13B. Louisville Local Landmark: Eligible X Not Eligible Although the property lacks sufficient integrity to be eligible to the National or State Registers, it is significant for its long association with the locally prominent Italian Zarini family, its association with coal mining, and its association with several nearby houses in Jefferson Place that were occupied by the Zarini family at the same time. 13C. Historic District Potential: Jefferson Place is eligible as a State Register and local historic district. There is potential for a National Register historic district. There is also potential for a small State Register historic district comprised of the extended Zarini family residences on the 800 block of LaFarge. The main house would be a contributing structure to a historic district. The secondary residence would be non-contributing. 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. Jefferson Place 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. 4
