Learn How to Unlock Your Home's History at Home Scribe History


Welcome!

The primary goal of this blog is to demonstrate that every house has a history- you just need to know where to look! Using my own house as a case study, I use this blog as an instructional guide to construct a comprehensive history of one's home. There are a vast amount of sources I will examine throughout this discovery process: historical records and documents, maps, personal interviews, and most importantly-- the house itself!


About Nick

I am a registered architect in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I'm also an avid amateur genealogist. As such, I am uniquely qualified to research the "house genealogy". I have always had a deep interest in history, especially that which has personal relevance and meaning. I reside in Glenside, PA and have previously lived in Boston, MA. I'm a graduate of Souderton Area High School and Northeastern University. Although I am an architect, I am employed by an architectural firm actively working on commercial development projects, and do not wish to pursue single-family residential design commissions with homeowners. If you are looking for an architect for a renovation or addition project for your house, I am happy to refer you to the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
