Max van Balgooy: Historic Preservation in Rockville: Myths and Misconceptions

Over the weekend, >Max van Balgooy wrote a response to Christina Ginsberg’s article “Is Your Home HISTORIC?” in his Max For Rockville blog. He explains why he wrote “Historic Preservation in Rockville: Myths and Misconceptions”:

In yesterday’s mail I received the Twinbrook Citizens Association newsletter and noted that President Christina Ginsberg devoted a portion to historic preservation in Rockville in her article, “Is Your Home ‘Historic’?” As a member of the Historic District Commission (HDC) living in Twinbrook, I appreciate the attention to this long-standing effort in the City of Rockville, but I also want to correct some factual errors and misunderstandings, particularly because they can result in unnecessary conflicts and spread misinformation.

Max’s depth of knowledge on the subject of historic preservation has resulted in a thorough exploration of the typical statements made when a property receives a historic designation. We recommend you give it a read even if you don’t live in Twinbrook.
