Resource Number: 5BL 7994 Temporary Resource Number: 157508414001 The old Catholic Church building at this location was torn down and the Church congregation sold the property to Anthony and Amelia La Salle in 1945, who then sold the property to Mark Baughman for the construction of an Apostolic Church in 1946. That Church congregation had been meeting in other places in Louisville since 1938. By August 1946, the legal owner was the "United Pentecostal Church." Boulder County gives the date of construction for this building as 1950. However, the author of the historical survey on this property written in 2000 found that construction took place between 1947 and 1949. Other addresses used for the Church over the years were 829 La Farge (in the 1953 Louisville directory) and 827 La Farge (in the 1956 directory). In 1956, the pastor was Kenneth King, and in 1960, the pastor was Carl Mullenix. In 2002, the property was transferred from the "United Pentecostal Church of Louisville" to the "First Pentecostal Church of Louisville." The Apostolic, or Pentecostal, Church owned this property until 2004, but information on exactly when it stopped being used for services and when it became a private residence could not be located. In 2004, the Church sold the property to the current owner, Forrestine Sutton.
