"They knew when they bought the house that there was a historic designation pending..........don't buy a house on the registry if you plan to do a tear down."

When I first moved to Salt Lake City, I was planning on buying a run down mansion in a historic district right next to the capitol building, but when I discovered that the city would be dictating every little thing I did to restore it, that it would have to comply with the requirements set by a committee of anal-retentive old Mormon historical society ladies, I passed on the thing.

Ted,
They knew when they bought the house that there was a historic designation pending...
I guess it hinges on that. The owners claimed that there was none until they moved in, and that her "fame" as a reality star brought the attention of the Preservation Society.

Arrogance aside, I wonder who really values that particular house as a "historical landmark." Obviously the rich couple doesn't, but does the Preservation Society really do, or are they just a bunch of busybodies minding other people's properties?
