Talk:Researching the history of your house or building
From Placeography
I have a pretty comprehensive page on how to do house research in Buffalo, NY. I humbly propose it as a model for what should be developed here. Unfortunately, many sources are specific to place. For example, some communities have city directories and reverse directories and some communities do not have city directories at all. You may not be able to cite many universal sources. House researchers cannot count on certain sources to exist everywhere the way that genealogists can count on (for example) obituaries existing everywhere.
