RENO, NEVADA – HOUSE WITH A HISTORY offers viewers a cultural guidebook to our past.  Historic houses stand as a cultural testament to a particular age and architectural style. These structures are a result of vision and a reflection of personalities. They embody the collective spirits of their owners, architects and designers. 

The HOUSE WITH A HISTORY series features eight half-hour episodes that examine residential structures as more than mere shelter. Each program takes the viewer on an in-depth tour of the house, while delving into the personal stories of the people who built, designed or preserved the house. The first season of HOUSE WITH A HISTORY visits houses in the Nevada communities of Reno, Carson City and Lake Tahoe.

HOUSE WITH A HISTORY series received a Telly Award in this year’s 26th Annual Telly Award competition.
