The New York City Historic House Trust (HHT) is composed of 23 houses built during 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. These houses have rich histories, and many are associated with major events and notable inhabitants. In this project, used textual analysis and GIS software to identify global locations associated with these events and people, then mapped them alongside the HHT sites to identify areas of historical significance and visualize global connections to the houses’ history.
