Are you interested in the history of your house? If youare, then you might like to get in touch with a house historian. A house historian’s job is to find out what has happened to a particular house in the past. They try to discover who built the house, who has lived in the building since it was built, and what was on the site of the building before. Their research can uncover all kinds of interesting information.
2 .______
We spoke to house historian Tracy Collins, who told us some of her stories. One of the houses she had to research was a flat at 200 Oxford Street in London. She discovered that the author George Orwell had once stayed with the owners of the flat. He had slept in the smallest bedroom in the flat, which was very dark. Later, when he wrote his novel 1984, he used the room as the inspiration for the famous Room 101. On another occasion, she was history looking into the story of a block of flats in Orchard Court, also in London, She found out that the flat had been used by spies during the Second World War. First of all, the spies were invited to the building for a job interview. If they were successful, they went on a training course. After the course, they returned to the flat for their instructions. Then, they were sent on a mission. But Tracy’s third story is even more dramatic. When she was investigating a house in another part of London, she discovered that a murder
had happened there!
3.______
However, house historians do not only focus on one particular house. They also find out about the district where the house was built. Some districts are completely different now than they were in the past. One example is an area in Central London called Belgravia. Today, it is one of the richest districts in the world, but in the early nineteenth century, it was a poorer area. People used to go there during the day to hang out their washing or to collect plants for food. At night, many people would avoid the area because it was full of criminals.
4._______
If you can’t afford to pay a professional to research the history of your house, you can try to research the past yourself. The best place to start is to find all the official documents belonging to your house. These should give you some idea of who the previous owners were. After that, you should go to the office that has the official documents of your area.Some of these go back hundreds of years! You may not find out anything particularly interesting about your house, but you’re sure to enjoy the search.

Match the headings with the paragraphs in the article. There are two extra headings that you do not need to use.
