Historical significance or not…we will find out who, what, when, where, why!

Structure and structures…build and buildings…design and designers…a building starts on paper: tracing paper in ancient times, plaster models, to computer drawings today.

Discovering an old hovel in a field in England, or watching a new skyscraper take shape: the crane or the crone, it does not matter.

Pictures tell the story, as does the path of paper leading from today into the past: registration of titles, appraisals, sales history, city water records, utilities, plans and permits.

Everything tells a story and I will bring that story to you.
