Create a House History!

It might be the house you were born in, or your grandparents' house, the first house you owned, or the old house you live in today. Would you like to tell the world about it?

The new place to do just that is http://www.thatsmyoldhouse.com . A free membership gives you access to the site, where you can search existing posts -- about 1400 so far in its first month. Suggestion: spell out the state, as apparently it hasn't been told how to read state abbreviations yet!

Then, if you wish, start a form on your favorite old house. Add a photo (up to 200kb), and relate its prior ownership, history, who in your family lived there, your fondest memory of the place, and so on. You'll be among the first; there are only 16 postings in New York to date, and only one in Putnam, but it'll be growing.

If your photo's too big, drop us an e-mail and we can help shrink it.
