have a home that qualifies for historic designation. Can anybody
that has done this give me a run down of the pros and cons of
getting it designated and is it worth it?   04:03AM | 09/12/03
Member Since: 01/14/03 265 lifetime posts Haven't been there
myself. But having been in the construction/renovation business
for some time, I'd suggest that before you take that step you
make certain you understand the rules. Once the house and land
are designated as 'historic', in most if not all jurisdictions,
there are fairly strict rules about what you can and can not do
with and to the house. Renovation, for instance, like a new
kitchen, can take on a whole different character regarding the
process for permission and design.    Post a reply as Anonymous
