About this episode
Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Tom Heuser, Seattle-based Architectural Historian with Willamette Cultural Resources Associates - or WillametteCRA.
Under Mr. Heuser's leadership, WillametteCRA in 2024 began offering a service called "Pacific Northwest House Histories" to give homeowners, real estate agents and others interested in the histories of specific homes access to professional historical research - the kinds of services typically offered to larger and more institutional clients in the cultural resources management field, but instead focused the residential sector.
CASCADE OF HISTORY spoke with Tom Heuser on March 11, 2026, and he explained how the "House Histories" came to be, shared stories he's uncovered for clients, and explained how the service is structured in three tiers of complexity and expense.
