Maryland Historic Trust email

This email is from the Maryland Historic Trust's expert in determining if a property is eligible to be included on the Maryland Historic Trust Register as a historic property. 
This again confirms that our property is not historic and therefore not subject to exemption from the Maryland Solar Law.  It is hard to believe that the Oella ARC and HOA Board would confuse this important detail and fact....
=================================================

10/14/2009 email from the Md. Historic Trust:
Mr. Pettit, I apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry.  A house built in 2000 would not contribute to the significance of the Oella Historic District, since its construction date falls outside the Period of Significance established for the district (c. 1812-1919).  Generally, for a property to be individually eligible for the National or Maryland Registers, it needs to be at least fifty years old AND demonstrate significance in terms of the criteria you cited.  So I can confirm your conclusion that the property would not qualify for listing in the Registers.

Thank you for your interest in our programs.
