[MassHistPres] Interior Preservation

[Aaron Marcavitch]

Paul

I suppose I am confused by the statement that you cannot afford a preservation restriction.  Is it
because of the cost of a lawyer to prepare it?  Is it because of the group that would take it is
asking for money?  Your local historical commission can hold these types of restrictions.

Thanks,
Aaron
