And, no, I won’t divulge them by email, either.

The houses that This Old House renovates are privately owned and the owners want to reclaim their privacy after appearing on the show.Īnd that pretty well summarizes why you won’t get further details here, as well.

We do not give out the address of houses featured on our program. In fact, at the This Old House website, one of their FAQs says: Now, I’ve never subscribed to the concept that people somehow give up their right to privacy by nature of their celebrity, however fleeting or inadvertant, so you won’t find any actual addresses or even anything more specific than what I’ve already divulged. I’m actually quite proud of my efforts-they’ve included interpreting aerial or satellite photopraphs and comparing public record floor plans. I also got some assistance watching Inside This Old House episodes. Some of the locations are explicitly stated on the program (not all at once, I don’t think-but a house number here, a street name there, glimpse of architect’s drawings, street number visible on the door, glimpse of street sign, etc.), others were tracked down by using the owner’s name and the phone book, still others needed some sleuthing of property records. The fact of the matter is, I had to employ a number of tricks to come up with many of these. And that success has run the gamut of unable-to-locate to specific addresses. In the chart below you’ll see what success I’ve had. Well, one thing from that germ of an idea led to another, and the next thing you know I was plotting locations onto my Street Atlas USA mapping program. You know-maybe do a drive-by of some of them sometime when I’m in New England (the majority-46, currently-of the projects are in Massachusetts, all but two of those within 30 miles of Boston). As I’ve enjoyed the revival of the later projects in the This Old House Classics episodes on DIY channel (and others), I’ve gotten curious about the actual locations of the projects. At one time I would have sworn I’d seen every episode, but in truth, I know I’ve missed a few over the years, although I’m certain I’ve seen at least part of every project. I’ve been a fan of This Old House since the very beginning (and where I first became acquainted with Norm). The Master Woodbutcher’s This Old House Locations Page
