Having once upon a time worked in municipal government and studied architectural history, it sounds like these would not be federally protected historic landmarks, but hold local designation. Depending on the community and their local requirements. Some communities grant variances fairly easily, others are extremely strict, right down to acceptable paint colors and landscaping. Usually there is no grant money available for such properties. If a property is designated a National Historic Landmark, it is virtually impossible to make changes which significantly alter the structure internally or externally. Once upon a time there were significant tax breaks for historic preservation, but many of these have been eliminated, and many wouldn't benefit non-profit groups anyway.
