Historic Landmarks: Why Not Paint The Historic Pumphouse In Bright Colors Too?

Photo: Red Car Property Neighbor, March 10, 2014.  Just because the Red Car Viaduct Footings aren't pristine like the historic DWP pumphouse across Fletcher, doesn't make them less of a historic cultural landmark.  (Click on photo to enlarge.) 

Because of the viaduct footings' historic landmark status, it now becomes an expensive project to restore the footings.  Not all of the footings the artist chose to paint were tagged with graffiti.
