DC Historical Preservation Office

I (M) am on a business trip in the Caribbean...(Could I be the only person in the world who prefers demolishing the insides of an old house to laying on a white sandy beach surrounded by palm trees and emerald-green ocean?) In the meantime E has decided to talk to the DC Historical Preservation Office. This office is a part of the DC government, and any renovation permit for houses in a historical district (ours is) must be approved by them. E is going to meet with the Committee member who is responsible for our historic district as a proactive way so that we don't stumble into an unforeseen roadblock. Meanwhile, E continues with our "light" demolition. Sorry to our neighbors!
