Hi Moros,

... In fact my town has several hundred, Three of which are on the state register of historic homes. They can be maintained or repaired but not changed. So one still has no electricity lol


When I worked in London, the office building was a Grade 2 listed building, which meant that it could not be upgraded or repaired. So the floor in my room was about 6 inches lower in the middle than around the walls, and desks, filing cabinets, etc. had to face outward, or the drawers would slide open. The wiring was in loose bundles on the floor, as it could not be put inside the walls, or even attached to them. The fire escape was not attached to the structure, and there was a small gap between it and the window you'd need to climb out of if a fire started. I was glad to move out of there.
