There is one on Dallas that if find interesting. I would post a pic, but it doesn't seem possible on this site. I can e-mail if you are interested.

You can do some backwards research using the City Directories. ...

Can you post a link to Google Streetview of the house?

2. 1940 Fort Street
These are two addresses that I'm interested in. Looks like the same architect. I'm guessing around 1955. Would love to know more.

You can do some backwards research using the City Directories. That is how I found who built my house and when. Once you know the year if it is a somewhat prominent building start working through the old Colonist sheets.
What did you find out?

What did you find out?
A couple of months late:)
So what I know about my house. Well it was built by a Malcolm Smith in 1912 who married to Elizabeth. It was a catalog house but not a Sears catalog house at least not a model I have found yet.
I know every person that has lived in the house for the last 100 years and some of their jobs.
I know that between 1943 and 1956 the phone number for the house was Empire 5252.
I know that there was a small fire in one of the front rooms in 1957 and that there were permits taken out following that to update the house.
There is a tonne more but nothing that is really gripping.
Little has been done since really.
