MACON IS
PRESERVATION
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
Board of Trustees
ALEX MORRISON
The excitement around Macon these days is truly inspiring. We’re seeing more construction, more rehabilitation, more job growth, and more events than we have seen in a long time. To say that Historic Macon has been a part of that would be an understatement. HMF has been a leader in the revitalization of our city by directly improving neighborhoods, buildings, and spaces. Historic Macon’s efforts have turned scores of Maconites into proud preservationists by highlighting and fighting for what makes Macon stand out from any other place on earth –its historic architecture. To those who are a part of the organization, it is clear that there is a new understanding of the value of preservation and how it frames the commonwealth of our community. From my seat as the new chair of the board, I can see that HMF is just getting ramped up. The board is eager to work to build a better community for everyone by appreciating Macon’s past and telling the stories that make us proud to call this community home. The staff, true all-stars of preservation, is poised to take the organization to its highest heights yet. I could not be happier to be a part of this team. But this team has room to grow, and in order to reach the heights we all know that HMF and Macon can reach, we need a full and growing roster of supporters who fight tirelessly for preservation, live fully in a beautiful city, and volunteer to produce great experiences for preservationists of all ages. That is my goal for the next year, to see this team grow so that everyone will know that Macon is Preservation. To get there, we will need your help. We need each member to promote the organization to friends who are not members. We need to tell everyone who will listen about why preservation is so important, the value it adds to our community and, the stories that each project allows us to share with a new generation. Preservation impacts everyone—that’s why you’re a member— but some need to be reminded just how important it is. It is up to all of us to prove that to the community at large.

It brings me great joy to be a part of this movement and to have such a great and growing team. Stay tuned to see how HMF brings even more value to its members and the community over the next year, but don’t forget that the stories preservation allow us to tell are never finished. Share them, share them often and loudly, and when you do, always include an invitation for more authors to write the next chapter of Macon’s preservation legacy.

THE MAKING OF “MACON IS PRESERVATION” TRISH WHITLEY
Raising money for an organization that you love doesn’t usually feel like work. Working on an advocacy project that includes school children, college mascots, musicians and local restaurateurs, is just down right fun! That was my experience this spring as I planned and helped execute the photo and video shoots for our Macon is Preservation campaign. After the demolition of Tremont Temple and the Douglass House in 2014, Macon experienced a huge loss. These preservation defeats exposed the flaws in our local zoning and design codes. Further, these two cases showed buildings can be torn down despite the community fighting for their preservation. The Macon is Preservation campaign is an opportunity for Historic Macon to show
Georgia, the Historic Macon Staff compiled a list of local structures and local folks that were associated with those structures. We paired up the places and the people then set out to film and photograph them, holding our heart pine sign, Macon is Preservation is meant to salvaged by Chris Sheridan, and show how preservation is alive and saying the words, “Macon is Preserwell in Macon; in a variety of ways that may not always be noticed by vation”. Tabitha Walker and Stephanie Shadden of Big Hair the casual passerby. From the Productions, along with Maryann neglected church on the corner Bates Photography, captured all that has new life as a performing arts center, to the 1902 school that the cute facial expressions and silly giggles, while offering endless ideas functions daily as a neighborhood to produce the most perfect, place to learn, to the fire station engaging video. that’s an architectural treasure but also serves as a home to our public If you attended our Annual servants -these are all examples of preservation. All of these structures Meeting this May you certainly smiled when you saw this video as have been carefully preserved and part of Ethiel’s remarks. To see it are excellent examples of how again or for the first time, you can Macon IS preservation! find a link on our website: www.historicmacon.org. After securing funding from the Community Foundation of Central preservation efforts in a positive light. Preservation groups are often seen as reactionary rather than proactive when it comes to advocating for historic properties.

DEMYSTIFYING HISTORIC TAX CREDITS Kim campbell
When someone calls our office for preservation advice, I often hear one of two statements: “What are those?” or “I’ve heard about those, but aren’t they really complicated?” To answer the first question, historic tax credits are tax credits offered as an incentive to people who are willing to rehabilitate historic buildings instead of building new. As to whether or not “HTC’s” are complicated, they can certainly seem so, and abbreviations such as “HTC’s” (which just stands for “historic tax credits”) don’t help matters. A large part of my job is to “demystify” this process by preparing tax credit applications for building owners. Once you get past all the complicated jargon, the process of applying for historic tax credits is fairly simple. First, the property you want to work on must be listed in or eligible for the National
Register. Next, you have to photograph the entire property before you do any work. After photographs, you plan your project. Part of my role is to help you with your plans to ensure that your project meets the Standards for Rehabilitation that Georgia’s Historic Preservation Division will use to review your project. Once your plans are together, I write an application that consists of three parts: basic property information, a description of what is present, and what are your plans for each room or space. All of this information is submitted to the state for review. Once the state sends back your preliminary approval, you have two years to finish your project. At the end of that time, we submit new photos showing the finished project, along with final applications, which demonstrate that you spent the minimum
(usually $25,000) to have your project qualify as a “certified substantial rehabilitation.” Once you have your final approvals in hand from the state, you can claim your tax credits against your state income tax for the next ten years! Jim and Amy Stallings, residents of a beautiful bungalow in the Vineville Historic District, took advantage of Georgia’s historic tax credit program. Jim said, “We bought our home in Vineville 25 years ago, and when we decided to do some additional renovations, using this program was a no brainer. It has been well worth it.” If you’re interested in taking advantage of this program or the state’s property tax freeze, check out our Historic Homeowner’s Handbook available at historicmacon.org, and then call Historic Macon at 478-742-5084.

2015 Preservation awards and annual meeting emily hopkins
On Cinco de Mayo, Historic Macon held its annual meeting and preservation awards to celebrate preservation efforts in our community. Guests arrived to the historic Douglass Theatre to enjoy tacos by Moonhanger’s newest venture, El Camino, and sipped on margaritas. The theme of the evening was “Macon is Preservation.” In Ethiel’s recap of Historic Macon’s successful 50th year of preservation, Historic Macon’s newest advocacy campaign was unveiled and the 30 second PSA was premiered (you can read all about the campaign on p. 6). Macon is fortunate to have a community that is dedicated to preservation and revitalization efforts. Historic Macon highlighted those citizens, businesses, and organizations that are carry out innovative and transformative preservation projects by giving out
our annual awards. The evening was an opportunity to laud Historic Macon’s efforts and successes, and reflect on some preservation stuggles. But more importantly, it was a chance to show that preservation is a community-wide investment that cannot be completed single-handedly by one organization, institution or individual. The following list of award winners is demonstrative of our newest advocacy campaign -truly Macon IS preservation.

LOW INTEREST LOANS LAUREN MAULDIN
Paint peeling? Roof leaking? Porch sagging? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, chances are your home is due for routine maintenance. At Historic Macon Foundation, we have a variety of low-interest home improvement loans that will allow you to channel your inner HGTV guru. With generous support from Knight Foundation, Historic Macon offers low-interest facade and energy efficiency loans for College Hill residents. The facade loan is in place to enhance the exterior appearance of your home. Eligible work for this loan includes exterior painting, roofing repairs, porch repairs, and permanent landscaping, to name a few. See the Property Spotlight (p. 13) for a recent facade loan project that enabled exterior painting. The energy efficiency loan assists College Hill homeowners to improve the overall energy efficiency of their homes. Loan applicants must participate in Georgia Power’s Home Energy Improvement Program, where an assessment lists specific recommendations that can enhance energy efficiency. By participating in this program, homeowners can receive up to $2,575 in rebates and save up to 30% on their annual electric bill. Both facade and energy efficiency loans are available for $5,000 or $10,000. These College Hill loans carry a low interest rate of 3%, and are fully amortized and repayable over 60 months. 12
Historic Macon also offers facade loans for Vineville and downtown residents. In conjunction with The Vineville Neighborhood Association, Historic Macon manages the facade loan program for Vineville homeowners. This facade loan carries the same terms and conditions as the College Hill loans, but only $5,000 loans are available. With support from The 1772 Foundation, the downtown facade loan enables downtown residents to enhance the exterior appearance of their property with $5,000 and $10,000 loans.
To apply, visit our website, or contact Lauren Mauldin, Loan Fund Manager, at lmauldin@historicmacon.org for an application.
Each of these loan programs directly fulfills Historic Macon’s mission, “revitalizing our community by preserving architecture and sharing history.” Each of the projects funded through our low-interest loans ensures the continued preservation of these historic buildings. Furthermore, the variety of work enabled from these loans embody our newest advocacy campaign, “Macon is Preservation,” because each loan maintains historic properties while preserving the inherent stories woven into the fabric of these buildings.

Macon History this summer Kim campbell
In Macon, most of us know we live in a historic city, but we often don’t realize just how much history was made here. This summer “Macon History,” forgive the pun, will highlight the sometimes unknown, but always fascinating history of this place we call home. We opened the series in June with a Sidney’s Salon featuring Sam Macfie, a local historian who was instrumental in getting Bowden Golf Course listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Sam’s oral histories with the men who had always been golfers and the African American men who were initially only allowed to be caddies were an important source for that nomination. The Macon History series will continue with a second Sidney’s Salon on July 14 featuring Ed Grisamore, who will talk about Nu-Way, the second oldest hotdog stand in America. Nu-Way will also
cater the Salon at no additional cost to attendees! You’ll be able to taste the history.
of no better way to close out our Macon History summer series than with these images.
On Friday, August 14, we will venture out into our city with Wimberly Treadwell, who will lead a tour of Downtown’s alleys. Macon was originally gridded with particularly spacious blocks to accommodate a vibrant set of alleys for pedestrians. This tour will reveal these hidden gems. Grab a drink for the stroll, and join us in the alley between the Rookery and our condo project at 551 Cherry Street to participate.
Whether you have lived in Macon all your life, just moved into town, or are simply visiting, we would love to see you at one or all of our summer series programs, so you too can see how we have been makin’ history here in Macon for centuries. At Historic Macon, we have the opportunity to learn about our fascinating history everyday and the privilege to work to preserve these places and stories for future generations. After these presentations, I have no doubt that you too will know Macon is Preservation.
Our summer series will close with a Sidney’s Salon featuring Matt Jennings and Stephen Taylor, authors of Images of America: Macon. The “Images of America” book series tells the history of places by showing readers the past through photographs. We can think
Sidney’s Salons are made possible through the generous support of Capital City Bank and Bob and Carolyn Hargrove. Thank you!
The Macon History Series kicked off in June with a presentation by Sam Macfie on the Bowden Golf Course.

Believe in Beall’s Hill: The HMF Revitalization approach carrie cameron robinson
Historic Macon Foundation rehabilitates on average 10 houses a year. Though this seems like a daunting task, the process Historic Macon staff uses is very similar to the path a private citizen would use for his or her own home. However, our method for acquiring properties and the amount of improvements needed would possibly discourage homeowners
from tackling the type of projects we undertake. Our properties come to us in various levels of repair. Properties we purchase from the courthouse step may have only been seen from the outside of the home, we may never even step inside the house! Sometimes, we purchase from owners who wish to sell houses they no longer want. Whatever the case may be, and
whatever the condition, we do our best to save the property and completely rehab it from top to bottom. Buying a historic home from Historic Macon essentially means buying a new house with old features. We fully update our homes to the highest standards possible to extend the life of the house for another 100, or more, years. That being said, we understand what
BEFORE
BEFORE
AFTER 1030 Elm Street was once a boarded up house. Now it is a colorful addition to Beall’s Hill. 24
buyers want and many times the floor plans of our properties must be updated and modified for today’s lifestyles. Once we have acquired a house, we draw the floor plans of the existing layout. All Historic Macon properties become tax credit projects that our Preservation and Education Coordinator, Kim Campbell, submits to the state (see p. 8). We use historic tax credits as an added bonus for families and individuals buying a house from Historic Macon. Before we begin work on a home, Kim takes photos of the house to submit to Georgia’s Historic Preservation Division along with our historic tax credit application. Using the state’s guidelines, we rework the floor plan and sometimes add additions to smaller houses to create a more attractive layout for today’s buyers. At this point, we apply for a Certificate of Occupancy from the Planning and Zoning Commission and take our plan before the Design Review Board for approval. Once a plan is finalized and approved, we ask contractors to bid
on the plan. Contractors submit bids that include time lines for construction and the estimated budget to complete the project. When bids have been accepted, we sometimes have to adjust original plans to make the construction numbers work. Once construction begins, Historic Macon purchases all the finishes and we place the house on the market. Construction generally takes around 6 months for a rehabilitation project. Often, a buyer comes along before the house is complete and he or she will have the opportunity to tweak plans and pick items such as paint colors for his or her house. At the completion of the rehab, Kim comes back to take pictures of the completed project to submit for our final tax credit application. After 6 months to a year and a lot of hard work, new homeowners have an efficient and updated home with charm and unique qualities. This process is replicated over and over again by Historic Macon staff in concentrated geographic areas. Our approach to neighborhood revitalization is most evident in
Beall’s Hill. The projects Historic Macon undertakes are often ones that a prospective homeowner would find overwhelming and possibly beyond repair. As a non-profit, we are able to take on those projects and use our budget to rehabilitate each house because it directly relates to our mission. Working house by house and street by street in a neighborhood transforms the landscape and makes the neighborhood more attractive for potential homeowners and creates a more vibrant space for existing residents. This process is possible due to the donations and contributions of our many members and Preservation Partners. Our rehabilitation process and work in Beall’s Hill is another example of how Macon is Preservation. You can follow the progress in Beall’s Hill by using and following #believeinbeallshill on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Also check our blog regularly for updates on projects.

Cox’s in-kind support comes in the form of PSAs for our annual fundraising events including the Flea Market, the Decorators’ Showhouse, and Design, Wine and Dine. These PSAs and commercial slots are invaluable because they alert people about our events that raise the necessary support to fulfill our mission while also showcasing Historic Macon to thousands of viewers in Middle Georgia.
In fact, Cox aired Historic Macon’s newest “Macon is Preservation” PSA during the month of May, which is National Preservation Month.
