In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can they research this?
History plays a major role in knowing the identity and root of a person's existence. The same goes for the environment in which one chooses to live. Individuals are progressively interested in finding the origin of a place they decide to reside. In

person could have more information concerning the area. However
