Salle, who later went on to have a career as the leader of an orchestra during WWII and in Hollywood as the composer of scores for movies and TV shows, took musical instrument lessons from Eliseo Jacoe in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The Louisville Historical Commission selected Eliseo Jacoe to receive the 2000 Pioneer Award, and the write-up is at Louisville Pioneer Award I Citv of Louisville, CO (louisvilleco.gov) on the Museum website. Frank Jacoe appears to have focused his later career almost entirely on music, unlike Eliseo, who combined operating a store with being a musician. Frank was a music teacher and also performed in the Denver municipal band, often at City Park; Denver newspapers as early as 1911 listed him on the program at popular concerts at which he was a soloist, often playing the cornet. Frank was also an amateur photographer who is believed to have taken this photo of the Louisville Band in 1911 that appears to show include Eliseo. In 1921, Frank Jacoe conveyed his co -ownership of Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 to Eliseo Jacoe and took a trip to Italy to visit their parents. A 1926 Denver directory lists him as living in Denver and working as a musician. In 1927, Frank married Katie Jordinelli, who was the sister of Annie Jordinelli Jacoe (two brothers married two sisters). In 1928, following Frank's marriage in 1927, Eliseo divided the property and conveyed more than half of it to Frank Jacoe. Eliseo ended up with Lot 1 and the south half (12.5 feet) of Lot 2. Frank ended up with the north half (12.5 feet) of Lot 2 plus, Lots 3 and 4. (This was 1109 Main, which would be the residence of Frank and Katie Jacoe for many years.) Construction and History of Current House; Date of Construction Following Frank Jacoe's marriage in 1927 to Katie Jordinelli, the Jacoe brothers appear to have jointly decided to live next to one another on Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4. As noted just above, in 1928, Eliseo took the south side (where the Fischer Carpentry Shop was located) and Frank took the north side of the property. 7
