Does anyone wonder about who lived in your house before you, or what was there before it was built? In my current house, the tract replaced orange groves in the mid-1950s but obviously other people lived here before me, though Google won't tell me who. I've also been trying to track down original real estate ads and promotional literature, and though the scans are entirely too small to enlarge, I've found a few leads on a newspaper archive site. Although entirely impossible, my dream would be to buy every house in the neighborhood and undo the atrocious McMansion remodeling work perpetrated on them and restore them all to their original Eichleresque MCM architectural glory, even though I still miss living in the faux-Spanish Colonial I previously dwelt in
