What is a Complete House History?
A Complete House History is a deeply researched, professionally written narrative that reconstructs the full story of your home.
Built from archival records—census data, newspapers, maps, deeds, and more—each history traces the people who lived there, the changes the home underwent, and the broader context surrounding it. The narrative is presented as a beautiful hardcover book that can be treasured for years to come.
Pricing and What's Included
Each Complete House History is tailored to the property and the depth of research required. Projects typically range based on the age of the home, availability of records, and scope of the narrative.
Every history includes a fully written narrative, supported by archival documents, maps, and historical context. When available, photographs, newspaper articles, and additional records are incorporated to create a detailed and well-rounded account of the home’s past and the people who lived there.
What Makes This Different?
Household History is not a database search or a surface-level report. Each project is built through original research, drawing from primary sources and connecting information that was never originally recorded in one place.
The focus is not only on what can be found, but how it is understood, shaping records, details, and fragments into a narrative that reflects the lives and moments behind them. The result is a history that feels complete, grounded, and specific to your home.
How it Works
The process begins with a short intake form, where you’ll share details about your home and what you’re hoping to learn. From there, research is conducted using a range of archival sources, followed by the writing and assembly of your home’s history.
Once complete, you’ll receive a finished narrative along with supporting materials, bringing together the story of your home in a format that is clear, detailed, and lasting.
