Brownstone Detectives investigates the history of houses.
Like the cracking of a cold case mystery, we track down the available facts, stories, owners, residents, photographs, and other documents connected with each house – until we’ve uncovered its unique stories.
With this plethora of evidence, we lay out each house history in a professionally written and designed House History Book.
Each is replete with the evidence we dig up during the research stage, usually including: historical photos, colorful tales, old maps, original architectural drawings, official government documents, and previously long-lost information about our clients’ houses and the people who lived their lives there.
In fact, with hundreds of House Histories under our belt to date, we can confidently state that we’ve never met a house that did not produce a rich and bountiful history.
Talk to any of our clients and they’ll tell you.
Brownstone Detectives offers four levels of historical property research to suit your interests and your budget: House History Books, House History Reports, House History Lineages, and House History Research.
We’ve investigated countless New York City houses, structures, and properties of all ages and types. Whether it’s brownstones, limestones, wood-frame houses, factories, restaurants, vacant lots – you name it – we’ve got you covered!
Consider commissioning a House History for your home – or as the perfect surprise gift.
