I thought if the exterior structure was kept true then interior upgrades were okay?

Not sure about Canada of course.

Nope, in Toronto (not sue about other parts of Canada) when a building is registered as a historic structure - the whole structure is "protected", so all interior and exterior work has to be in accordance with the various rules and regulations designed to keep it's "historic integrity" - it's a two-edged sword really... yes you get $$$ to support the upkeep of the building, but it may end up costing you more in the long run...

I know the chapter house at my chapter, which is a historical landmark, had to jump through hoops when they added on. The addition had to meet all of these architectural requirements to maintain the integrity of the structure. I remember hearing that it was a very expensive renovation because of the historic landmark issue.
