  • The Hall of Records keeps as complete records as possible. It is not until around the 1920's that local building codes kicked in and insisted on accurate and full documentation of structures. In many cases older (older than 1920's) structures are not documented themselves but things like additions are. The building code in your area may not have come into effect as late as the depression (1930's). Historical records may be 'somewhere' in your area - usually ran by a historical society not government. Tracking of past owners may be slightly more difficult. It should be part of the lot file held by the Hall of Records. However depending on your local history (such a fires) it may be possible that your lots file starts at a later date, after the fire (as example).
