House Background
We don't know too much about our house's history yet. It is listed in the tax rolls as being built in 1936. We have learned from neighbors that the last residents lived here for about 20 years. They lost the house, and a contractor bought the house in mid 2004. The contractor did quite a bit of work (new roof, windows, kitchen) and listed the house for sale in late 2004, when we bought it.

Hi,
If you want to do some more history checking on your house, just go to your local library and ask for the city directories. Start with 1936 (which *might* list the owner - but definitely 1937 will have it). The great thing about city directories is they usually list the occupation of the inhabitants and also if they owned or rented the house.
