I love doing that kind of research. We did lots of research on the house we're moving to in Canada, just to be sure of its condition... but it's not that old. It was built by the parents of the people we bought it from. My sister's house, just down the road in the same town, is 100+ years old and has a board outside detaling its history. Because it's an old mining town, with lots of old heritage homes that people come to see, there are lots of houses with little plaques outside. It's a great thing to share. It's weird leaving our house here, where our daughter was born. I feel like leaving an inscription for future occupants telling them that we lived here, who we were, how happy we've been here, and what an amazing thing it was to deliver Amy right in the living room! But they'll never know... House detective!

We have records like that in Phoenix, too. I looked up my grandparents in an old phone book from 1941, the year they moved to Phoenix, and it told me where my grandpa worked, what his job title was, that he owned (not rented), and all kinds of other stuff I didn't even know. Can you imagine phone books having all that personal info now? No way! But it's cool to know where to look it up, how to find the history of places. Great post, Josh! That’s so super cool!

What's interesting is that, in our case, people will stop by the house, who used to live here, and we get a lot of interesting info that way.

Do you think that every city has this much information available on their properties? Sounds amazing. Do you think that every city has this much information available on their properties?

I really like seeing you getting so enthusiastic about the historical facts of your freshly purchased house. If I was living in a house that my parents didn't built with their own hands, I'd also do as much as research as possible And i even do it from time to time by looking through photo albums. I think it is also funny to think about the future. Will other people ever move in after our generation and my parents' generation. What parts would they modify and what rooms would they rearrange. Funny. Great pick for a video blog entry! Thank you very much for this video.

It 's great to know the history of the house you live in. The house I own was built in the Forties and I know it's history from a neighbour who built the house he lives in. Very cool Josh.
