> [@dtilque](#): > > Considering everything, it’s going to be a very long time before anyone who’s not MAGA will want the place. Something like a century. For at least the first few years his kids will make a fortune by jacking up the fees and renting it out to MAGA people for their MAGA weddings and other MAGA events. I’m guessing that eventually the novelty will wear off and they’ll sell the property to someone that will rebrand it. So far as I’m concerned, if a middle class MAGA family wants to spend their life savings, and then some, to host a one day event at Mar a Lago so the Trump kids can line their pockets with a meaningless, to them, amount of money, I say, go for it. ---

Mar-a-Lago is a National Historic Place. Which involves all sorts of difficulties in changing the facilities or repurposing the property. All details that trump has doubtless ignored since he bought the place in 1985 40 years(!) ago. But in any post-trump world where federal regulations are still standing those regs will be a real obstacle to anyone wanting to use this white elephant for anything. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Mar-a-Lago is a National Historic Place. Which involves all sorts of difficulties in changing the facilities or repurposing the property. Maybe. As per [this cite](https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/faqs.htm) from the National Park Service: > [@](#): > > Under Federal Law, the listing of a property in the National Register places no restrictions on what a non-federal owner may do with their property up to and including destruction, unless the property is involved in a project that receives Federal assistance, usually funding or licensing/permitting. > [https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=c5a07c14e9b695af2ef0cae29b4b4f23&mc=true&node=pt36.1.60&rgn=div5](https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=a38c8083c78093e39f9db7cd70e99567&mc=true&node=pt36.1.60&rgn=div5) > > There may be state or local preservation laws that a property owner should be aware of before they undertake a project with a historic property. We recommend you, or the property owner contact the State historic preservation office (SHPO) before an action with a listed property is taken. The SHPO is the state agency that oversees historic preservation efforts in their state.You can find contact information for the [SHPOs here](https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/state-historic-preservation-offices.htm). Soldier Field, a sports stadium in downtown Chicago, had been listed as a National Historic Landmark (a subset of National Historic Places). When the Chicago Bears (the stadium’s primary tenant) and the Chicago Park District (which owns and operates it) conducted a major renovation in 2002-3, which removed most of the stadium’s original structure (really only leaving the colonnades), it wound up getting de-listed as a NHL, but there was no law preventing them from doing the renovation. ---

Hmm. Thanks for the correction. I know there is a category of registered whatever building or grounds that is quite restricted. And as you cite, Mar-a-lago is not that. Now to find out what that category is and some examples of things it applies to. ---
