Question:

How do you go about researching the history of your house?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you have city, county or state building codes, there will be a record of the building permit which will tell you the name of the original contractor and owner and any remodeling permits that may have been pulled. If you had no codes, try your county recorder's office. They will have records of ownership, loans, etc. it sometimes helps to just ask the neighbors. good luck!
