Is very fascinating, how many people nowadays are likely to research historic's facts about the building, they are living in or planning to buy. They are many reasons why someone would like to know about the place's past.
This
 essay will consider building architecture and
also
 the location. One of the most sensible reasons why someone would like to know about the past of their place is the
period
 when was built and the material used by looking at the architectural design we roughly can figure out the
period
 when it was built, which
also
 will give us information about the materials used during that
period
 in the construction industry.
For instance
, houses built in the Victorian time were darker and smaller than in Edwardian times these houses were wider and bigger. They are many ways we can find out information about the history of a house, like browsing the internet, archives, local historian experts and libraries. Internet is one of the easiest and most accessible ways. The
first
 thing to look is for the history and events in the area.
For example
, the place where I have been living for the
last
 10 years, has been built in an area where an actor from Queen Elizabeth’s era bought it. He built a school, a church and houses for the purpose of educating poor children. Today is a landmark in the community, and the school is one of the best private schools in the country, where many celebrities had studied. To sum up, knowing the history of the house you are living in will help to have a better understanding of the
period
 and the materials used.
Moreover
, it will create a stronger bond between the owner and the house.
