ear Friends,

As we ring in 2019, we also usher in the fifth year in which Drayton Hall Preservation Trust (DHPT) has protected, administered, and advanced Drayton Hall. Such is an organizational milestone that is underscored by the many accomplishments that have been made in recent months. From the rehabilitation of Drayton Hall’s iconic portico, to the conservation of our historic ponds, and the construction of the Sally Reahard Visitor Center, a number of substantial projects have been completed and all are a testament to the dedication of our staff and the incredible support put forward by you - the Friends of Drayton Hall.

Looking forward, DHPT has embarked on a number of new initiatives for 2019 and beyond. In December we began to develop a new strategic plan that will assist in establishing organizational goals for the next 10 years.

Top priorities include expanding our archaeological efforts, increasing our care and conservation of the landscape, and developing interpretive and educational objectives. We have also convened a panel of architects, conservators, and engineers to develop a strategy to conserve the stair hall and plaster ceilings found in the main house. Our curatorial team has also begun to develop our second exhibit in the Stephen F. and Laura D. Gates Gallery.

As always, I thank you for your support and admiration of Drayton Hall.

As the stewards of this National Historic Landmark, we are committed to the preservation of this international icon, and our work would not be possible without your many valuable and diverse contributions.

Sincerely,

Paula Marion, Chief Financial Officer Michelle Johanek, Finance Associate

Saving Grace A lot happens to a house over the sweep of three centuries. Hurricanes pummel the roof and windows, people pace the floorboards contemplating revolution or soothing fussy babies, earthquakes shake the foundations, and gravity exerts its inexorable pull on brick and stone. Slowly and deliberately, or sometimes suddenly and violently, these things impact the fabric of the building. Recently Drayton Hall Preservation Trust endeavored to study and address these issues and their impact on the Drayton Hall main house.

Heroic Measures The opening of the Gates Gallery at Drayton Hall provided the opportunity to conserve many objects in the Drayton Hall Museum Collection that were in need of repair. The most extensive project undertaken in the lead up to the gallery opening was of the c.1730-1740 Pier Table; one of a matching pair of pier tables that predate the construction of Drayton Hall. As one of the earliest furniture objects in the Drayton Hall collections, it is possible that the tables date to the time of John Drayton’s first marriage to Sarah Cattell in 1736.

The table features cabriole legs and pad feet which are indicative of early 18th century taste. The center of the table apron contains a large carved shell cartouche surrounded by flower buds and leaves; prior to conservation only the shell and left flower bud remained. Ghost marks of the missing ornamentation along with a sketch of the table from c. 1845 by Lewis Reeve Gibbes confirmed the lost carving and guided furniture conservator Chris Swan in his work to replace these elements.

The table is made of mahogany with mahogany veneer. The veneer had suffered greatly over the centuries. During conservation 34 losses were replaced and over half of the remaining veneer was reattached, returning the table apron to its original appearance. The table was missing five of the six scroll knee brackets, but Swan was able to replicate the missing scrolls from the one survivor. Drayton Hall is very lucky to have both of the original, intact purple and white Breche Violette marbles from Italy. The marble was gently cleaned and installed on the fully conserved table which now resides as a focal point of An Agreeable Prospect: The Creation of a Colonial South Carolina Palace and Garden in the Stephen F. and Laura D. Gates Gallery at Drayton Hall.

The conservation work was made possible by a generous gift from Mr. and Mrs. P. Frederick Kahn.

N E W I N T H E GAT E S GA L L E RY Spring marks the one-year anniversary of the opening of the Stephen F. and Laura D. Gates Gallery with our current exhibit An Agreeable Prospect: The Creation of a Colonial South Carolina Palace and Garden. New objects continue to come on view. Drayton Hall was fortunate to have a few long-term loan objects return ahead of schedule from Colonial Williamsburg and they are now on display in the gallery.

These objects include an eighteenth-century silver slave brand, the complete set of archaeologically recovered “Cranes and Mosquito” Chinese-export porcelains, and the grand c.1745-1755 desk and bookcase commissioned specifically for Drayton Hall. The month of March also brings a new selection of the c.1733 George Edwards watercolors to the gallery. This grouping contains some of the more exotic birds in the collection including the Black and White Chinese Pheasant and White-throated African Toucan.

Reflections on The Lenhardt Garden’s First Year On this first anniversary of the Lenhardt Garden, we reflect on this evolving, artistic horticultural endeavor.

2018 began with a concerning turn just as January’s planting of large Bracken’s Brown Beauty magnolias and Natchez Crepe Myrtle trees arrived and the Charleston area plunged into a week of ice and snow. It would be months before the effects of such a cold winter would become apparent, leaving much to work through as seasons changed.

In the meantime, work continued on the soil, irrigation and walkways, and the sourcing of many other plants for the garden’s planned opening in April, 2018. From February to April nearly 1000 bee balm,

Virginia iris, Stokes asters, great blue lobelia, woodland phlox, blue-eyed grass, azure salvia, and clary sage were planted. Also arranged in the quadrants were Champney’s Pink Cluster roses trained on custom made cedar-wood hoops to increase the fragrant sprays of light pink flower clusters.

We added pink Muhlenbergia, sweet grass, and Camellia sinensis along with pink and lavender digitalis, Verbena bonariensis, and Narcissus ‘Soleil d’or’. In the center of the garden under the grand oak, over 1000 Christmas and autumn

ferns were planted. Looking perfect, the digitalis, Narcissus, phlox, blue-eyed grass welcomed the first

ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2017-2018 J U LY 1 , 2 0 1 7 - J U N E 3 0, 2 0 1 8 EARNED INCOME CONTRIBUTED INCOME

Dear Friends, As I reflect on Drayton Hall Preservation Trust’s accomplishments for fiscal year 2018, it should come as no surprise that I believe the crowning achievement of the year was the opening of the Sally Reahard Visitor Center. Our new modern museum campus, complete with long awaited exhibition galleries, an orientation hall, inspirational gardens, and spaces for educational programs, will ensure guests have an enjoyable and informative visit that will foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of our shared American past. Of course, the construction of the Sally Reahard Visitor Center was nothing short of a team effort, and I offer my sincere appreciation to our staff and the many supporters who have helped usher in a dynamic new era for Drayton Hall.

Since opening in April, we have seen a marked increase in our museum programs. From weekly Gallery Tours and an expanded Distinguished Speaker Series, to author lectures and wine strolls, more people are connecting with Drayton Hall than ever before. What is more, we are advancing our care of the main house, our collections and landscapes. A sample of initiatives from 2018 include an archaeological field school in Drayton Hall’s basement to investigate moisture issues, the conservation of six examples of Drayton Hall’s earliest furniture, and the completion of the conservation of Drayton Hall’s historic ponds.

In total, our diverse work in fiscal year 2018 has contributed to a firm foundation that will give rise to future initiatives to safeguard and advance one of our nation’s most important historic sites. Thank you for your loyalty, dedication and love for Drayton Hall.

Yours truly,

Richard Almeida Chairman, Drayton Hall Preservation Trust Board of Trustees

ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2017-2018

Visitor Experience In 2018 we launched an entirely new visitor experience for guests of Drayton Hall. The most exciting year since Drayton Hall opened to the public, the capital campaign yielded the new Sally Rearhard Visitor Center which includes space for galleries, exhibits, education programming, and an inviting shop all surrounding a magnificent new garden.

Our long-time goal to exhibit the furniture and artifacts of Drayton Hall was realized in this Phase I of our expansion plans.

Architecture 2017-18 was a momentous year in architecture and preservation at Drayton Hall.

First, we completed a full rehabilitation project of the c. 1870 historic Caretaker’s House. Once finished, we created and installed the new permanent post-Civil War exhibit in the house’s Richard and Jill Almedia Gallery to relate the stories of the postbellum and early 20th century to our visitors.

Two of the original portico columns which were likely stored in the basement of Drayton Hall since a portico renovation project in the early 1800’s, were carefully lifted and moved to the new Stephen F. and Laura D. Gates Gallery where they frame the central wall of the new gallery.

Collections The generosity of Drayton Hall donors was invaluable to our stewardship and aquisition of collections in the years leading up to the opening of the Stephen F. and Laura D. Gates Gallery. Contributions made specifically towards collections enabled Drayton Hall to conserve many of the objects now on display in the gallery.

In addition to the pier table highlighted in this issue, the c.1750 Drayton Hall side chair and settee belonging to the original suite of furniture created for Drayton Hall were fully conserved. During the conservation project, the first-period upholstery was identified and modern fabric reproductions restored the furniture to its original appearance.

Conservation was also completed on many of the archaeological artifacts found in the gallery which highlight the contributions of the 18th century enslaved individuals at Drayton Hall.

Landscape Essential to Drayton Hall’s historic design are the landscapes and vistas that frame the house. We know through our research that the landscapes created by John Drayton and his son, Charles, were intentional and significant to their vision for Drayton Hall. During FY17-18 we over-seeded the curved drive from the ponds towards the house to create a wider lawn in the front. The historic ponds continue to be conserved and planted with trees, shrubs and aquatic plants that provide a diversity of habitats for a wide range of wildlife species.

The most exciting addition to Drayton Hall’s landscape in FY17-18 was the creation of the Lenhardt Garden. In this garden a live oak tree, most likely planted during the time of Charles Drayton, anchors the new Sally Reahard Visitor Center. Primarily planted with plant material from the Drayton Papers and other relevant sources, the courtyard’s central quadrants showcase botanical varieties related to Charles Drayton. These installations, while beautiful and peaceful, also serve as a horticultural display in which to explore the plants and horticultural endeavors at Drayton Hall over the centuries.
