Once again, someone desperate to use the cry of "historic preservation" to control the behavior of the people they obviously consider their less enlightened neighbors, is trying to divert the point of the discussion. That point has to do with the Historical Commission nixing the idea because it involved changing "the existing footprint of the building. Such a provision would seem to rule out proposals to expand the 1812 structure. The entire neoclassical Water Works complex is a designated local and national historic landmark. A previous plan for a restaurant called for construction of a glass addition to the Engine House."   Always at your service and ready for a dialog, Al Krigman
