Owning Historic Buildings Has It's Perks

Congratulations. I live about a block and a half from the Sugar Hill Historic District and about 3 blocks from the Hamilton Grange Historic Districts. It's a lot of fun to live in or near a historic district. My neighborhood is named for Alexander Hamilton- and his home, The Grange, is just a handful of blocks away (now in it's 3rd location within a few blocks of the original construction- the last move was in 2008 and can be viewed online). My podcast, discusses so much of the rich history of my area. This week I released an episode on the Battle of Harlem Heights- located on the modern day campus' of Columbia University and Barnard College. Today, I recorded episodes on Getting to know Manhattanville (where Columbia's new campus is taking over a larger portion of the neighborhood) and Columbia University's Forgotten Nuclear Testing Facility- not to mention the school's involvement in The Manhattan Project.

It really can work out if you are someone who can really preserve the legacy and soul of a place.

Love what you're doing in Granbury with restoration, Paula. Really need to come out one day and see it for myself.

This is an excellent post with great information. Thanks for sharing it.

Have a super fantastic week!

I love discovering the history of the building...and thinking about what might have passed through those doors.

Hello Paula,  Not only is this fun it is exciting as well.  They would have been fools not to select one of your buildings for one of the episodes. Congratulations! 

Hello Paula - congratulations.  

I love old historic buildings like that one, Paula.  When I grew up it was in a neighborhood with wonderful structures like that one.  However, in the 1970s a sad thing happened.  They were torn down to build new modern buildings.  I hated it then, and continue to hate it to this day.  However, we did manage to restore Old Sacramento, and I'm glad about that!

Paula- this is so exciting!!!! Larry and I have to catch up on Yellowstone and start watching the other shows. I can't wait to hear more. 

Good morning Paula. Restoration of older buildings is not for the faint of heart but the reward can be tremendous. Good luck and keep us posted. Enjoy your day.

Congratulations on both the feature owning the two historic buildings. In Kingman, one of the historic buildings is being renovated and I can't wait until its completion.

Hi  Paula, 

How exciting!  First of all, Taylor Sheridan puts out a phenomenal  product.  Just to be part of one of his shows is really something.  

I have been fortunate to be part of an HGTV show and that was a lot of fun.  However that was only 3 days.  I can’t wait to read your updates. 

Well how cool is this Paula!  I look forward to reading about  your adventure into this world!!  So glad Kathy Streib featured your post!!
