Abstract	Every person's home has a story to tell and a place in history. Whether a person owns their house, rents it, or lives in an apartment, they can become a house detective and discover the history of the home. This brochure enumerates the following nine steps for investigation: (1) "Start at Home"; (2) "Go to the Courthouse"; (3) "Look at Other Public Records"; (4) "Go to the Library"; (5) "Read a Map"; (6) "Look at a Picture"; (7) "Talk to the People"; (8) "Put It All Together"; and (9) "Is the Building You Live in Brand New?" The brochure briefly explains how to undertake each step in the investigation. In answer to the question, "Is the Building You Live in Brand New?," the brochure advises residents of new buildings to start histories of their homes, using some of the steps outlined in the brochure. Lists five resources for further reading. (BT)
