ICYMI: Researching Your Historic House

On January 25, our Southern Tier Field Consultant Janna Rudler hosted a webinar with Cindy Falk from the Cooperstown Graduate Program all about how to piece together the history of an old house. Cindy went over specific sources, both physical and documentary, to employ when researching historic houses and other buildings. Using a real house as a case study, attendees were able to see a step-by-step approach to gathering data that can inform a rehabilitation or a National Register nomination, help put together a compelling real estate listing, and add relevant information to wider municipal preservation plans.

This webinar was presented in partnership with the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation, the American Planning Association, New York Upstate Chapter, and Preservation Association of the Southern Tier. This series was funded in part by a grant from the John E. Streb Fund for New York of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, with additional support from the Corning Incorporated Foundation.
