Maud Robinson: Preservationist?

Maud Robinson: Preservationist? Not even close:

"The home at 316 Windover contains a tin tank in the attic, which once provided the water supply for the house."
Maud Robinson's 1991 Press Kit Highlighting Vienna's Historic District

While Robinson once spoke highly of the old-time plumbing system for 316 Windover in a PR campaign to make the Windover Heights Historic District appear legitimate, her lack of actual preservation now leaves the tin tank sitting outside: view the tin tank.

Robinson added in PR campaign:

"Part of the structure at 308 West Street is log and chink, which dates back to the 1700's."

The house Robinson refers to was torn down in the late 1999. Does anyone remember Robinson standing up to save the "log and chink"? Two brand new houses stand there now. Nice job of preservation Maud!
