Re: photo guidelines for National Register of HIstorice Places

2012-03-15 by Paul

One more question, Seth: When you wrote ROTFLMAO!! did you mean the HDP guidelines were overly strict, or that that's what guidelines should be compared to the lower standards of the Register? or.. ? I'm not critical of your comment but just wondering if I'm not getting it!

Thanks,

Paul
