hen David Haas started documenting landmarks in Syracuse, he would drive around the city, snap a picture of intricate homes “and be like ‘Alright, I want to bang out the story of this place.’”
Haas uploaded the photos to @SyracuseHistory, an Instagram account that documents historic homes and landmarks across the city. He started freelancing for the Syracuse New Times, a now-defunct publication, and oftentimes connected the city’s past to its present. He used to budget time for driving around the city, but now, documenting Syracuse has become more routine.
“I feel like the stories come to me often. I get contacted, or I’m just out and about doing other things and I’m like ‘Holy cow, what is this?’” said Haas, who grew up in the city’s Eastwood neighborhood. “I kind of learned that a story will lead to a story that leads to another story.”
