Many people are interested in knowing the history of their home. We see
these people regularly at the Monroe County History Center. This may be a
topic that you may encounter as well. That's why I would like to extend to
you a special invitation to attend an upcoming program at the Monroe County
History Center on Thursday, July 12, at 7 PM.
Bill Coulter will present a program titled, "Finding Your Place in History:
Old House Research." Coulter is a local, independent architectural history
researcher. He will discuss how to research the history of a building using
materials available at the Monroe County History Center and elsewhere with a
special emphasis on using property tax data and other records to answer
questions such as: when was the house built; what did it look like
originally; who built it; who designed it; who lived there; who owned it.
Coulter has presented this material previously for the City of Bloomington,
Department of Housing and neighborhood Development, and his research will be
part of the upcoming City of Bloomington Interim Report, Indiana Historic
Sites and Structures Inventory.
This program is free, and no registration is required. We hope you can join
us.
