Over here it's the "Historic Preservation Society",......Living in the historic district of Old Town Winchester every third house is an historic property,......not only can they tell you what you can and can't do to the outside of your house,.....they have some control over the interior as well. Glad we live in one of the few non-historic structures(built in 1986) in Old Town.
