Have you ever wondered about the history of the home you live in?
Some people's homes have a lot of interesting history... what they started out as, what was built on, etc..

Our home was built in 1962, and my parents bought it new.
But I have wondered about the history of other homes I have lived in, including one that was rumored to have been a speakeasy once upon a time.

Tater, is this what you mean?
A speakeasy, also called a blind pig or blind tiger, is an establishment that illegally sells alcoholic beverages. Such establishments came into prominence in the United States during the period known as Prohibition (1920–1933, longer in some states). During this time, the sale, manufacture, and transportation (bootlegging) of alcoholic beverages was illegal throughout the United States.

Yes Breezey, that's exactly what I mean. It was a house at the end of a dead end street, surrounded by woods on three sides in a small town in coal country in upstate PA.

Tater, other than rumors, is there a way to find out the history of a house?
Wed Jun 16, 2010 12:33 pm by Tater Salad
You could search for deed records for prior owners and such, but something like a speakeasy would be hard to track due to it's illegal and clandestine status. It's not something that the owner would want published!
