Preservation of historical sites

[L Verge]

Jim,

We have been trying to for over two years! The executive board of the Surratt Society sent two letters first - one to home and the other to his law office. No response. We also advised the Charles County Historical Society to do the same. No response. The Charles County Historic Preservation Commission called me near the end of last year to verify history of Rich Hill and to get my advice. He has not responded to their letters either.

He is a long-time delegate for this area in the state legislature as well as a well-known attorney. There's a long story there. There are regulations centered around "demolition by neglect." Whether or not they will be applied in this case, is a good question.
