Researching Your Leadville House

Here are some other ideas to help you learn the history of your house:

• Ask your realtor
• Try conducting a title search
• Ask your neighbors what they know
• Keep an eye out for clues buried in the back yard, in the attic, in the basement/floors, and in the walls
  • Buried items can tell you a lot about who lived there and when
  • Leadville people have been known to use newspapers as insulation
  • You might find dates or stamps left by the builder
  • You might uncover old wallpaper or paint that can be traced to a specific time period
