I watched this great with great
interest folks.Although I personally am a proponent for preservation sometimes
to preserve you must take away. I would love to know more info on this, I
believe there is an underlying reson to remove these portions. One point I
take note of is not being able to interpret the Madisons' within the current
configuration, I disagree. A good interpreter can do this and present the
Dupont"s inhabitance as well.I believe both families are vitally important
to the History.Many homes have undergone renovations through the years one that
comes to mind in this area is the Cornelius Hancock house.This house built in
1779(?) has undergone a drastic renovation in the 20th century. Within this
house you now not only have colonial architecture but its surrounded entirely by
modern features.If the intent of the Board is to eliminate the Dupont history I
say shame on them.Im sure they have their reasons
however.
