I've checked with my friend, Josh Phillips (former Director of Preservation Services, Preservation Maryland, currently part-time Historic Preservation faculty at UVM): sth: "'Historic preservation grants' from the State: can those moneys EVER be used for anything besides (preservation-minded) renovations and structural work? (Say, for salaries or living expenses?)" Josh: "Erm...generally no." Josh: "Chances are good that the money actually came from a private source (Preservation Trust of Vermont (an NPO), which in turn is funded by the Freeman Foundation). Generally state preservation funding of church projects is limited to exterior rehab work with no religious imagery. That might include non-figural or representational stained glass windows. At least that's the case in Maryland." and: > I am just interested in the fact that the State only gives grants to > Catholic churches, Protestant churches need not apply... Frank's a Baptist. ;-) Cheers, - -sth sam hooker|http://www.noiseplant.com|i am between the internet -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkj8n/0ACgkQX8KByLv3aQ1dfACghtMD0yZDWBrkcr81am/e58xI 9wIAoIdm/VNuC0yOudE9lKjsZb3XUXC0 =FK+7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
