Easement Deductions

I saw the article in New York about the National Architecture Trust and easement deductions for federal tax deductions. There is a post on Brownstoner from 2005 about this organization. I have received information from them about donating 1% of my house value and my facade so that it is not changed. A 15% deduction is attractive but I think that where my house is already landmarked I would be outside of my rights for that deduction. There definitely seems to be more negative than positive feedback about this group. Is anyone else more familiar with wise courses of actions?
