This was (apparently) due to some waterfront protection regulation that you cannot rebuild from a total loss.
I do not have first hand information about this, just reporting what I was told. John appears to know quite a lot about this sort of thing.
There may have been extenuating circumstances in the case that John was citing that may not be applicable to the boathouse in Alton.
Anyone know any more about this?

I believe you are referring to one of the Marriott boathouses. As I recall they got caught trying to rebuild with living quarters up above ( not allowed) and also a question of getting the proper permit. Certainly there are others who remember the situation better.
