John Hayes retired in 1968 after 48 years as a miner. When his mother, Jane, died in 1970, she <br />had still recently been living at 541 Jefferson. He appears to have become the owner of 541 <br />Jefferson upon her death. When he died in 1985, 541 Jefferson was his legal residence and he <br />still owned it, but his son, Clifford, had passed away. Ownership of 541 Jefferson passed to <br />John's grandsons, Mark Hayes and Steven Hayes. <br />In 1990, Mark Hayes conveyed his part of the ownership of the house to his brother, Steven <br />Hayes. The same year, Steven Hayes sold the house to Edward Bork and Daniel Silverman. <br />Later Owners, 1991-present <br />In 1991, Edward Bork and Daniel Silverman sold 541 Jefferson to Elizabeth Asnicar. She owned <br />the house until 1997. <br />In 1997, Asnicar sold 541 Jefferson to Kristin Briggs, who owned the house until 2008. It is <br />believed that during Briggs's ownership, the house was remodeled and the house was raised, <br />then lowered, to allow for the creation of a basement. <br />Kristin Briggs sold 541 Jefferson in 2008 to Douglass & Emilie Parker. In early 2020, they <br />conveyed ownership to 541 Jefferson LLC, which is the current owner of record. <br />Sources <br />The preceding research is based on a review of relevant and available online County property records, census <br />records, oral history interviews, Louisville directories, and Louisville Historical Museum maps, files, and obituary <br />records. <br />5 <br />
