The experience has helped us feel even more attached to the house

“We were so unbelievably lucky to benefit from Barb Manning’s intrepid house-sleuthing! She created an exceedingly detailed account of the origin of our 100+ year old home, from the history of first occupants to the actual process of constructing the house in early Seattle. We were instantly transported in time via her detailed accounting of the home’s history, and the experience has helped us feel even more attached to the house. We now know the story of the people whose echoes we feel each time we move from one room to the next, and for that we are eternally grateful.”

~ Jack and Ellen

One of the greatest housewarming gifts we could have imagined

“We recently received one of your books as a gift for our home and it is one of the greatest housewarming gifts we could have imagined. The book is incredibly detailed, with amazing details about previous owners…The pictures of the house through history are amazing, but the book also includes newspaper clippings that include the house and its occupants’ life over 100 years before we bought the house. We’ve already had friends come over and be completely absorbed in, and jealous of, our new book. We can’t thank you enough!”

Thanks for the time and effort you put into research and writing

“We (and our boys) thoroughly enjoyed reading about the folks who built our house, some of the early occupants, and the colorful history of Seattle at the time. Thanks for the time and effort you put into the research and writing…”

It is not often we have a project of this caliber
