I'm confused though - if the buildings are designated "historic" wouldn't the state or local historic foundation be the ones to pay for any upkeep? also, I thought historic only applied to certain things like the exterior and general plan of the house (i.e. you don't have to have a circa 1900 bathroom).

Not necessarily, some money for renovations and such can be provided by grants but usual upkeep is kept by the owner. Basically, designating the properties as historic landmarks prohibits people from just destroying the properties or changing them to the point that they dare no longer historically accurate.
