According to the NHPR story, it was in the town's designated "historic district" and
therefore its destruction was not entirely up to the whim of the owner.  I don't
have a problem with that.  And I'm guessing that Bedford is not the only town with
such restrictions.  Her argument about the "historic district" and the adjoining
strip malls on 101 was entirely valid IMHO.

She inherited the property, but folks who purchase propery in historic districts are
made aware of the restrictions that come with it.
