The Renaissance Neighborhood History Project

The Renaissance Neighborhood History Project

Arena Mueller posts her research into the history of homes of the 1/2-square mile between Lewis and Harvard Avenues, 11th and 15th Streets, just south of the University of Tulsa, and the people who lived in them. The most recent entry is a story about a fatal 1942 drag race on 11th from Peoria to Elgin.

Tulsa People profiled Arena and her neighborhood history project in the March 2019 issue, along with Rachel Shoemaker, who has identified over 30 Sears kit homes in Tulsa.

If you're interested in house history that's a bit more exotic, visit the case files of Marianne Taylor, The House Detective, based in Brisbane, Australia. Her Facebook page is full of interesting stories.
