Philadelphia's local historic districts don't deal with paint colors,
Elizabeth! This is a scare tactic being used by the anti-HD's!
OK, just in case anyone hasn't heard this argument a dozen times, I'll
cut to the chase:
>From the Hostorical Commission web site
http://www.mfrconsultants.com/hc/permits.html#a
"What parts of a historic property does the Historical Commission
regulate? The Historical Commission reviews all work that requires a
permit or that may change the exterior appearance of a property. This
includes, for example, roofing, masonry cleaning, pointing and
***painting***, window and sash replacement, and window boxes. As a matter
of policy, the Commission does not regulate the painting of exterior
trim."
Which I read to say that the Historical Commission has the right to
regulate painting, but currently chooses not to.
So, Al is right: The Historical Commission, on it's own web site,
clearly says that it reviews painting. And Melani is right, their
current policy is not to regulate painting.
Yes, the Historical Commission deals with paint colors. No, the
Historical Commission doesn't deal with paint colors. It all depends
on whether you are talking about what they are doing today, or what
they have the power to do if they so choose.
