Past Perspectives’ clients are interested in creating
a permanent record of their unique homestead buildings and
the people who lived there. To unearth the greatest amount
of information possible, most property owners choose to include
all three major investigative aspects: architectural analyses,
title search and family histories. Through these reports,
clients gain a comprehensive knowledge and awareness of how
and when their structures were constructed and who lived at
their homestead through the years.

“We would like to thank you for the excellent (and) professional
work you did for us. Throughout our relationship you were most courteous,
prompt and professional. You never hesitated to follow leads we
made available or to examine materials. Best of all you accomplished
what we could not. You were able to find the missing pieces in our
home’s history back to the original land purchase in 1743.
We are most pleased with the completeness of your research and the
documentation you provided. Lastly, let us say that your work renewed
and encouraged our long desire to live in and preserve an historic
property. Your research has provided a clearer perspective of much
that has gone before us. We now appreciate and respect this wonderful
property even more.”
Betty Scandrol – Hunterdon County, New Jersey, October

“We wondered about the age and history of our home and property
for many years but we had been guessing. We met Gregory Huber and
decided to stop the guessing game. He did a very extensive and thorough
research on our home and property filling two volumes of information.
This research is interesting and useful and has expanded our appreciation
of our home and property. The best comment assured us that our home
is 90 to 95% original which is delightful to know.”
Mrs. Shirley Wertman – Lehigh County, Pennsylvania,
August 2003
“I was so pleased to learn about the early community in my
area near Allentown. Especially surprising was how Past Perspectives
was able to determine the age of my late nineteenth-century house
by just looking in the attic and basement. Another surprise that
the House History revealed were the few number of families that
occupied my place in the past 120 years.”
Kit Hower – Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, June 2004
“Past Perspectives was a great find for Blankstone Farm.
Many mysteries were solved. I am excited to learn in the second
phase of the search (chain of title) that Greg has traced the farm
roots back to the early 1700s through his diligence and meticulous
work.”
Mrs. Jack Cope – Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, February
2004
"My husband and I have always been intrigued in the history
related to the two stone farmhouses we lived in for more than 35
years. I was overwhelmed with the report of our present home from
Greg Huber of Past Perspectives for which the land was warranted
in June of 1734. Greg was able to present the complete 'Chain of
Title' and family histories from that point to the present. The
'Architectural Analysis' and 'Dates of Construction' were incredible;
from the nails and beams in the attic that were recycled from a
log home that was the first structure on the property to the massive
two foot thick lintel of the fireplace in our kitchen area. The
findings in the barn (were) just as fascinating and unique. This
report is priceless and will be cherished for years to come as we
preserve its uniqueness for posterity."
