Do you get a tax break for the home having a historical background? Here in Pennsylvania, you may.
I had a small garage on my patrol. It was previously an old stone mill way back in the day, like early 1800’s. I stopped at the old mill one day, just to verify his state inspection vehicle license. I asked him if he had a history on the okd mill, which he replied to me that he didn’t. I told him that if he had the history for it and depending on its age, he could get a really nice tax break.
He became excited when I told him that. A few months later, I stopped in again and asked the owner if he checked up on the mill’s history. He said he had, BUT because he replaced the windows in the rear, it disqualified the building from being granted a Historical Site. It was the only fully standing stone mill in the County. He said he became ill. Had he left the old windows in, he was told that he would have saved about $8000 a year.
I remember my grandparent’s house having radiators. When we came in from playing in the snow, we would put our gloves on the radiators to dry.
