Maggie, at http://www.bcgcertification.org/skillbuilders/househistory.pdf
you will find a house history presented as a professional research
report--one prepared for a client by the president of the Board for
Certification of Genealogists.

As with family histories, there are many ways to write house histories. In
this case, the scope of the work was limited by the number of hours that the
client authorized (10 hours). You will likely expend many more hours on your
project, but this may give you some additional ideas.
