House Histories

Discover your property’s unique history through one of my house history report packages!

I offer two main report packages: A basic, non-illustrated report and an in-depth, illustrated report.

*Please note there is no guarantee about the quantity and/or quality of information available about your property. However, I do guarantee that I will conduct extensive research aligned with best practices in the field.

The Basic Report-$450

This report is a “down to the studs” collection of information about your property. The information researched is:

  • Deed search/past owner list
  • Builder and architect information
  • Brief analysis of building style

The In-Depth Report-$950

This report contains all the information researched in the Basic Report plus:

  • Historic maps showing the property and analysis
  • Historic photographs
  • Discussion of neighborhood development
  • Past owner bios
  • A comprehensive analysis of your building’s architectural style. This will include photographs of your building with labeled architectural components and a discussion of the style in historical context

If neither of these packages are right for your needs, you may pick and choose the report components

  • Deed search/past owner list: $200
  • Builder and architect information: $200
  • Historic maps: $200
  • Historic photographs: $200
  • Past owner bios: $300

Reports will be delivered in PDF format but can also be mailed for an additional $10.00

Historic Designation Consulting

I am also able to offer services in the research and preparing of historical designations on both a local and national level. The fee for these projects would be assessed on a per project basis.
