I'd never live in a historic zone. A local guy bought a house like that for his mother and every time he tried to fix something he ran into a wall. Moved his mother out and several months later some kids were playing in it and set it on fire. Slight damage. City condemned it, took it over and spent $190k to bring it up to code in the manner allowed. Oops, something didn't match the period so being tired of the issue the city tore the darn thing down.
