Question by allea m: How can i look up the history of my old house?
I lived in Morganville Kansas in a large victorian home with lots of suicide and death history. Morganville is such a small town, google maps won’t even show me detailed view at all, and i look online and can’t find anything on this specific home. It was just a beautiful victorian and i’d like to find out more to possibly write a book. Anyone know how to look up that information without traveling to the town? I live in colorado now and don’t have a vehicle.

Try your library. Houses have deeds, and any person who owned, and lived in a house are listed. With the year it was built, and the people that lived there once you can find some amazing information.

Even for the MEGA MOVERS, some jobs are out of the ordinary. How about transporting a family business without emptying the interior–so the doors can re-open as soon as possible after the building is resettled? That’s just what happened with a Pennsylvania funeral home! Next, Maryland movers confront a 146-year-old Victorian house that is thought to be jinxed. For years, many have tried to move it, and all have failed after facing major issues with utility lines, clearances, property, and accessible routes. MEGA MOVERS proves that no matter how strange or eerie or haunted they will get the job done. Copyright The History Channel.

    You may not be able to look anything like that up on line. The only thing to do is go to town and ask some older people that have been there for while about it. I remember when I lived in an old house 2 story and there was an attic in NY. It used to be like a bar or an INN or hotel and then they turned it into a house. one of my grandmothers use to live in and old house 3 story and then there was an attic and it was big and It think it used to be a shop at one point and then it got turned into a house and then it got turned back into a shop like a coffee shop and then it got turned back into a house and then it got turned into like an apartment and then it got turned back into a house and now its just a house with noone living there. Cost to much to heat in the winter.
