He
is said to have built houses in nearby McElmo Canyon in Colorado.
Little is known about the history of this man, although we
have been able to find a few things. We know he was a stone
mason, and that he was not a member of the original Hole-in-the-Rock
group.
The current
owner, Melvin Gaines, remembers that people still spoke of
Lovace when Gaines was a boy. They said Bluff pioneers knew
nothing of stone masonry before Lovace. This house formerly
was a two story house and probably looked much like the south
Jens house (G). It was rebuilt
in its present form after a fire destroyed the second story.
