I am trying to research the age/history of a home which was believed to be moved to it's current site from a mining town a few miles away.
Based off of Sandborn fire maps, it came to rest between 1898 and 1904. The home was remodeled within the last 5 years and we found early 1890's newspapers in the walls so we think it was built somewhere else and moved to the site. This was a fairly common occurrence in the time period.
Anyone have ideas on how to do more digging on the origin of the house itself?
