Eliseo then set about having the house at 1101 Main constructed. The 1948 Boulder County Assessor card for this property and the Boulder County website both give the construction date of 1928 for the house at 1101 Main. Boulder County has sometimes been found to be in error with respect to the date of construction of Louisville buildings, so other evidence is looked to. In this case, the date of 1928 is believed to be correct and is supported by the division of the property in 1928. The Jacoes' niece, Virginia Caranci, stated in an oral history interview recorded on May 5, 2011 for the Louisville Historical Museum that a number of people who owed bills at the Jacoe Store worked off their debts to Eliseo Jacoe by doing work on the house when it was constructed. Virginia Caranci's mention of the house having been constructed in 1929 in the same interview is notable for the year being so close to the County's year of 1928, and in fact it is very possible that the final finishes were not completed until 1929. Information regarding when the Fischer Carpentry Shop was torn down could not be found. The following undated photo from the Jacoe family shows the house at 1101 Main, possibly in the 1940s.
