In Galena, Ill.
They tell you what 3 colors you may paint your building. Have to keep it authentic General Grant lived there just before the Civil War (of course he lived ALOT of places!)
When histerical restoration began in this town someone pointed out to me that the four people running it , trying to dictate to the rest of us, that not one of them personally owned any property here!? They either were renting or living in some relative's place.
Isn't that the way it goes?
The city drew a map of the historical houses in the historical district. Even though my house has alot of history and a huge wine cellar that map went around my house as if they thought it was contageous, but then the history of this house was not always pretty or made the newspaper in a good way, maybe?
Probably the only General who lived in this house was General Drunkeness a title worn by many frequenting the Inn.
So, since my house was NOT in the historical district I built the cupola on the roof, then later a man told me I was IN the district, they had changed the map. sorry, I saw a map that said I wasn't.
I think the cupola looks very good , proportional-wise and authentic. Unfortunately it inspired several other cuploas to be built in this county and most of them look way too tall because they needed to use modern windows, I guess?
