The applicant requests a <br />matching grant of $17,433.50 for preservation and restoration work to the historic <br />structure and a $15,000 New Construction Grant. <br /> <br />HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: <br />Information from Jefferson Place Survey <br /> <br />This house is associated with the historic development of Louisville as one of the <br />early homes in Louisville’s first residential subdivision, Jefferson Place. Although <br />Jefferson Place was platted in 1880, few homes were actually built here before 1900. <br />The property at 833 Jefferson was historically located directly beside the Louisville <br />grade school for many decades, from when it was constructed until the school was <br />demolished in the early 1960s. <br /> <br />The lot where 833 Jefferson is <br />located was originally owned by <br />Jane Carlton who also owned <br />the lot at 841 Jefferson. She sold <br />the property to her son-in-law, <br />Fred Marriott, in 1895 and <br />records suggest that the home <br />was constructed that year. <br />Marriott sold the property to <br />Harry Hamilton in 1904 and <br />various members of that family <br />owned the property until 1931. <br />Pearl Conley purchased the <br />house in 1931 and used the <br />house as a rental. In 1937 she <br />sold it to the La Salle family who <br />owned it for 54 years. They were <br />coal miners who later ran the LaSalle Pool Hall and the Wagon Wheel Inn. <br />WALNUT STREET <br />833 Jefferson Avenue (1948 Assessor’s Photo) <br /> <br />10
