I think the angle and crop you have here is very good Paul. It shows what looks like the main part very well.
I hear what you are saying about old houses. We have similar problems in this area. Our surrounding towns seem to hold these historic buildings in high value and do everything they can to keep them. Some have been turned into small schools or professional offices, many others are sold for $1.00 and moved to a special area that has been set aside for these houses. Buy the lot, move it, fix it, and you have one hell of a nice street. Here, in Stouffville, they just look at it as an old house and pretty much let developer have their way. Not allowed to cut trees, well cut them anyway and pay the fine. I hear my old farm house we lived in is now going to be saved. I hope i had something to do with that, with my letters and news paper letters. Now if the kids don't burn it down.......
