the map shown above, the houses are the four easternmost buildings, while the two buildings on the <br />west side are believed to have been associated with the lumber yard. <br />William Lee built a house for himself in the "wye" at 1105 Pine next to the Ernest Grill Lumber Yard prior <br />to 1909 and lived there until his death in 1946. His son Harry Lee lived next door at 1125 Pine. <br />Date of Construction, early tenants <br />Today, there are six houses along the north side of Pine Street on the east side of the tracks: 1105, 1109, <br />1125, 1133, 1145, and 1155 Pine. A Methodist Church Parish Map of Louisville, Colorado made in circa <br />1923- 25 shows five houses along this stretch of Pine. We know from its appearance and other records <br />that 1109 Pine was constructed more recently (the County states that it was constructed in 1967). This <br />suggests that the other five houses were already constructed by circa 1923-25. In an aerial photo taken <br />in the 1930s, there also seem to be five houses in this area. The 1920 census taken in January of that <br />year lists only four houses located in the wye. For these reasons, the closest estimate for when 1155 <br />Pine was constructed would be circa 1920-1925. <br />It is also unclear who the earliest tenants were at this address from the 1920s until 1938. It is likely that <br />it was used by William Lee as a rental for coal miners or employees of the Colorado & Southern Railroad, <br />similarly to the neighboring houses on this street. <br />N <br />This photo c.1920s shows five houses on east Pine St. 1155 Pine can be seen at the very end of the street. <br />Harry E. Lee Ownership, 1938-1947 <br />In 1938, when William Lee was 81 years old, he sold the lot for 1155 Pine along with several other tracts <br />of land to his son, Harry Edward Lee. In 1930, Harry Lee (1880-1962) was living in Superior with his wife <br />Anna May Giles (1883-1964) and their children — William, Harry Elwin and Eleanor June. By 1935, Harry <br />Lee and family were living next door to William Lee on east Pine St. but it is likely that they lived at 1125 <br />Pine (a property that was also owned by Harry Lee) and rented out 1155 Pine. At the time, Harry Lee <br />was working as a general laborer and contractor and his son, Harry Elwin was working as a coal miner. <br />12 <br />
