Well, again, design review is more pain than it is worth, but this is totally within the purview and intent of the historic district.

Maybe the broader question is: where are the solar panels with compatible design? If these panels had been available in 1900, they would have elaborate brackets and finishes that would relate them to the details on the walls. Look at what architects in that period did when the lightbulb was an insanely cool gizmo.

Where are the traditionalist architects who addressing and celebrating new technology? Surely there are some, but all we hear about is how we have to go back to building exactly like we did in the 1900s and abandon all philosophical and technological development since then. Anyone I should look at?
