I am so for these kind of events. Historic preservation is so important and my hat is off to the City of Gaithersburg Historic District Commission to do a 3 hour event to educate. The Kentlands Mansion is such a stunning classic home. My oh my, what a beautiful structure. I'd would love to have a tour!

Hi Roy.  I am like Joe.  I believe in historic preservation but it can get out of hand.

The house I grew up in came on to the historic property list here in Sacramento in recent years.  I was glad to see it.  Unfortunately, the current owner has painted it a brick red, a color which it never was before.  It had always been white with forest green trim.  I often visit the old house, but I miss the way it was!

Those that own or plan to purchase historic properties need to know the rules of the game.  This should be an excellent program.

Hi Roy,

With all the historic homes in the area, I bet there will be a huge turnout for this event. There are a lot of restraints when it comes to these types of homes. Better learn what and what not to do to them.

Have a very good week ahead in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Best, Clint McKie

Hi Roy: Your area of the country was an early settled area; so, you have a lot of history to preserve.

I fear that our cold weather has damaged more of the DC cherry blossoms.
