<<I live in Annapolis, and have some experience with preservationists, you know, the ones who ensure that old houses are maintained, >>

When I was in Easton I first heard about this. If a wall had been moved in earlier remodeling the owner has to move it back. Not only that but the wood had to match the original size. Like a wall being 1/4" narrower is a big deal.

I know of a case locally where a guy was updating his mother's house. He had owned it prior to it's coming into the preservationist district. He put in energy efficient windows, got fined and had to put the old ones back in. Put in insulation and got fined. He moved his mother out and torched the place. City put the fire out, rebuilt the house at a cost of $625,000 and sold it for $85,000. Nutz.
