Renovating a historic building? We have historic maps, assessor
records, photos, and more.
The John Marshall House (at North and Fitch Streets) as it appeared in
1873
Appearance
The photo collection contains a separate file of house and building
photos to make it easier to search for an image of a particular building.
Ownership
Deeds record who bought a property and when, and also contain
legal descriptions of the property.
Note: The Museum does not store deeds, but they can
be obtained at the Sonoma County Recorder's office, located at 103f 585
Fiscal Drive in Santa Rosa. Contact them at (707) 565-2651.
Construction Date
Assessor records can pinpoint the exact month a structure was built
and its value at that time. Assessor records are stored in bound volumes
and organized chronologically.
Modifications
Building permits are recorded with the city for authorized construction.
Note: The Museum does not store permits, but they
can be obtained from the Healdsburg Community Development Office at 435
Allan Court in Healdsburg. Contact them at (707) 431-3348 to set up an appointment.
Residency
Phone and street directories list residents' names by address.
Voting records frequently go back even further.
