Happening Around Town

One of the BEST things about summer in Charleston is FestivAll! For 10 amazing days, the city literally becomes “a work of art”! There are over 600 artists, 300 performances, and 80 events to enjoy in 35 venues. For all the info, simply check out their website at festivallcharleston.com. Another BEST thing about summer in Charleston is the “Live on the Levee” series of free concerts at Haddad Riverfront every Friday evening. This month has five Fridays, so that is even better! “Live on the Levee” attracts upwards of 100,000 concertgoers over the course of the summer. The entertainment is a mixture of styles of music, combining local talent and nationally known acts for everyone to enjoy. And one more BEST thing about summer in Charleston is “Symphony Sunday” on the gorgeous riverbank at University of Charleston. WVSO’s new maestro, Lawrence Loh, continues to delight and surprise with each performance!

Every Friday through Aug. 3, #FoodTruckFriday2018 will be bringing tasty lunches to 910 Penn. Ave. This is a fundraiser for The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern West Virginia and will be located in the parking lot of the local Ronald McDonald House.

St. George Cathedral will be the site for the “Icon and Ethnic Food Festival” on June 21.

This will showcase wonderful ethnic food and also church art from the early Christian Church. WV is famous for our pepperoni rolls. Come to Haddad Riverfront Park on June 20, West Virginia’s 155 birthday for the “Rolls on the River” food and music festival!

Running May through August 19, at the Clay Center, you won’t want to miss “30 Americans”, a provocative exhibition showcasing the works of many African American artists from the past thirty years. Motorcycle enthusiasts always enjoy the Capitol City Biker Bash” the weekend of June 7-9 at Haddad Park and along Kanawha Boulevard.

As the Charleston Civic Center continues the last leg of its $100 million renovation, the Municipal Auditorium will be the venue for the Grammy award-winning bluegrass star Alison Krauss on June 12. Among other local venue changes, CYAC (Contemporary Youth Arts Company) has permanently relocated to the Town Center Mall on the third floor.

Their performances are always impressive and so much fun. This month, more than 20 local actors between the ages of 8 to 70 will be reenacting 19 legendary Norman Rockwell covers for the “Saturday Evening Post”. More local talent will debut the Charleston Light Opera Guild’s production of “The Full Monty” at the Civic Center during FestivAll. “Mountain Stage”, the NPR concert series heard around the globe for over 30 years, has ticket pricing worth noting. Mountain Stage “members” may purchase tickets for $15, advance tickets will be $20, and at the door (day of show) price is $35. This month, Lee Ann Womack is the big name talent coming to Mountain Stage, along with several other bands and performers.

This is an exciting time for our city. The Civic Center renovations are unbelievable and will bring a whole new level of entertainment and conventions to town. The Hilton Hotel chain is coming to Charleston as it buys the former Sears space in the mall, next door to the Civic Center. Two energetic and young candidates are running for Mayor and it is becoming clear that we are headed in a new direction. With so much to do, see, hear, and eat, Charleston makes the perfect destination for a vacation OR a staycation, if you are lucky enough to live here!

Looking Back

By: M. Lynne Squires

...at the Woodrum s Building

Long before there were particle board desks, box store chests of drawers, or IKEA, there was an establishment that set the bar for the discerning household.

Woodrum’s was the largest purveyor of fine furnishings in Charleston from 1916 until the 1980’s. Six floors were filled with beautiful displays of furniture and appliances, knickknacks and gadgets, and a well-versed sales staff to attend to a shopper’s every need.

C. Everett Woodrum began as a clerk for the Prindle Furniture Company, a Huntington-based company owned by two Prindle brothers. As the success of their store grew, they expanded into Charleston, where the young Woodrum clerked. Everett left Prindle and opened Woodrum’s Home Outfitting Company, partnering with his brother John Woodrum, Jr. Their modest 25 by 50 foot store on Kanawha Street flourished. By June 19, 1916 Woodrum’s had moved into their new, six story retail showplace on the corner of Virginia Street and Alderson Street (now Laidley Street).

Built by H. B. Agsten, Sr., the building has been heralded as one of the finest examples of Commercial Style architecture in the country. The buildings simple lines and overall lack of ornamentation stood in stark contrast to earlier business structures. The Woodrum’s Building lacked the profusive adornment of cornices, plasterwork and other ornate Victorian and Edwardian treatments.

Other buildings in the same style and from relatively the same era still stand in Charleston. The Woodrum’s Building successfully transitioned from home furnishings to housing different occupants over the years, in part owing to it’s simple classic and mutable style.

Woodrum’s furnished both homes and businesses throughout the Kanawha Valley. There were other furniture stores in Charleston, namely the Hadley Company, nearby at 606 Virginia Street East, and the Prindle Furniture Company at 209 Capitol Street. Boll Furniture opened in 1937, following the successful model of Woodrum’s. During it’s heyday between 1916 and 1945, Woodrum’s was notably the largest and most successful. From the humble beginnings sprang a retail giant, boasting over 80,000 square feet of showroom, and 50,000 square feet of warehouse space within a 30-year span.

M. Lynne Squires is the author of the award-winning book Letters to My Son - Reflections of Appalachia at Mid-Century, as well as Mid-Century Recipes from Cocktails to Comfort Food, and Writers on Writing.

Visit www.mlynne.com.

Employees in 1911 numbered around a dozen with three delivery wagons.

During the 1930’s and 1940’s the staff swelled to over 100 employees. Woodrum’s established itself as a ‘home outfitting store’ and provided a large array of products and services. In addition to furnishings, they offered upholstering, custom curtain making, carpet installation, and a needlearts department, among others. These services required a large staff, numbering 50 to 100 during the 1930s and ‘40s. For a time after the stores closing, Woodrum’s’ former employees met on an annual basis.

In 1937, a 50,000 square foot addition to the rear of the building was completed which doubled the retail space. The original structure sits above a full basement, and the addition has a half basement. With this addition, Woodrum’s became the largest furniture store in the Southern United States. A ‘Grand Reopening’ occurred on September 29, 1937. The Charleston newspaper declared ‘Throngs Attend Woodrum Event’ and stating it was the ‘most beautifully arranged furniture store in the entire southland.’ Over 5,000 people came to see the new displays on the reopening day festivities.

The business prospered until the early 1970’s and the decline of the fine furniture market. Local businessman Fred Haddad, of Heck’s Inc, purchased and maintained the business until the early 1980’s.. After the business closed for good, and the stock was liquidated, a number of other concerns occupied the Woodrum’s Building. Among them were Galperin Music, and Acordia National Insurance. Today the display windows boast an array of beautiful wedding gowns The building remained in the Woodrum family. The grandsons of one of the original owners, John C. Board, Jr. and William E Board, along with other remaining heirs formed the Woodrum’s Building Limited Partnership in order to ensure the building was brought up to current office building standards, while maintaining the integrity of the building. The Woodrum’s Building was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

In July, Looking Back visits the Simpson Memorial United Methodist Church, central to downtown Charleston.

917 Lower Ridgeway Road, Charleston CONVENIENTLY LOCATED ON THE FRONT SIDE OF SOUTH HILLS AWAITS YOUR PRIVATE OASIS. Nestled on a quiet street with views of downtown, come see how you can have the best of both worlds! 5 minutes from downtown, 10 minutes to the airport, and a few blocks from South Hills shopping, this Cape Cod style house was originally built for a Dupont executive. As the saying goes, “they don’t make them like they used to”- With the beauty of the ages, and extra special touches throughout, this home is full of character and charm. Along with that comes a completely remodeled kitchen with an open floor plan, stainless steel appliances, gorgeous granite countertops, wine and coffee bar, and a gas range/oven. Impeccably kept by the current owners, there are updates throughout with beautifully refinished hardwood floors, crown molding, freshly painted walls, Thibaut wallpaper, new light fixtures, newly installed HVAC system (2016), and much more! On the main level (with tons of natural light due to well-positioned windows) is the spacious living room. Prepare to feel as if you are a million miles away! Watch the snow, the changing seasons, the hummingbirds, and listen to the hooting of the bard owls from this comfortable and cozy room, equipped with the ‘oh so real’ Texas Bonfire Logs in the updated granite fireplace! The home host 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths. The master bedroom and guestroom are situated on the upper level, while two additional bedrooms, each with its own bathroom are located below the main level. A family den with another fireplace, plus wet/snack bar sits between these two rooms for additional ‘hangout’ space. This creates the perfect environment for visiting in-laws, an at home college student or growing children to have their own private space. Wait...there’s more! A large, finished bonus room on the lowest level of the home is perfect for an at home office, a children’s playroom, or workout room. From this level access the huge deck/play area with beautiful stone steps, rock formations, and your own private ‘herb garden’ deck. A half bath, and storage area are located on this floor as well. On the left side of the house, enjoy the wonderful (gigantic) flagstone patio for evening entertaining, neighborhood gatherings and cookouts. The property is surrounded by mature trees, and established flower gardens. A brand- new home with old world charm, and character...the best of both worlds.

HELP ME MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Supporting Colorectal Cancer Screening & Awareness!

Join me June 16 @ 8am at the CAMC Foundation Run for Your Life! The 5 mile run and 2.5 mile walk begins at Haddad Riverfront Park, takes runners and walkers through the streets of Charleston and returns to the park to finish. Each year, more than 400 runners and walkers come out to enjoy a morning of physical activity, music along the event course, refreshments at the finish line, and to support a good cause.

All proceeds from the Run for Your Life benefit colorectal cancer awareness and screening initiatives to help people who cannot otherwise afford critical screening procedures.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women. Even though the number of deaths from colorectal cancer has decreased due to increased screenings and improvements in cancer treatment, the need for education and awareness is still important.

Visit camcfoundation.org/events for individual or ream registration. Entry fee is only $25 before June 11 and $30 thereafter.

Hot Styles!

Bringing Your Style "Home" In June!

T

he heat of summer is a great time to consider what's hot in interior design styles! And what style do reflect in your home!

With so many out there, we thought this might be a great opportunity to define some! Keeping mind that most of us embrace bits and pieces of several styles, the MOST important thing is to make your space reflect your personality, the integrity of the home, and certainly the message you want to communicate to your guests. "Welcome", is usually how we want visitors to feel and our approach to design including traffic flow, balance and (yes) design will be key to communicating that message well! Here are some of the latest style definitions! Which are you?

• Contemporary - Contemporary style encompasses a range of styles developed in the latter half of the 20th century. Pieces feature softened and rounded lines as opposed to the stark lines seen in modern design.

• Modern - Modern design is a style of decor that focuses on minimalism, neutral colors, clean design lines and environmentally-friendly

materials. An example of modern design is a metal coffee table from recycled materials and a beige couch from natural fabrics.

• Traditional - Traditional interior design is typically evocative of classic European decor.

Hallmarks of this style generally include deep wood tones, architectural details, and elegant furnishings. This style is quite versatile and can be combined with other interior elements to create a unique look in a room.

in the waning nineteenth century variously incorporating references from Spanish Renaissance, Spanish Colonial, Beaux-Arts, Italian Renaissance, and Venetian Gothic architecture.

• Urban - Urban design is the process of designing and shaping cities, towns and villages.

Whereas architecture focuses on individual buildings, urban design address the larger scale of groups of buildings, of streets and public spaces, whole neighborhoods and districts, and entire cities, to make urban areas functional, attractive, and sustainable.

• Eclectic -"Eclectic" is a popular adjective in interior design parlance, meaning a decor that comprises heterogeneous elements — a mixture of textures, time periods, styles, trends, and colors. There is a fine line, however, between a beautifully eclectic room and a room that is merely haphazard and chaotic, with no unifying themes or motifs.

• Mid-Century - Definition of mid–century modern. : a style of design (as in architecture and furniture) of roughly the 1930s through the mid-1960s characterized especially by clean lines, organic and streamlined forms, and lack of embellishment But now we seem to be in the mood for Mies [van der Rohe] again.

MAKING HOME a better place to live

• Cottage - A country cottage style of interior design combines elements of country style and cottage style. Cottage style features clean lines in combination with casual and relaxed furnishings.

Country styles feature rustic or handmade elements and warm, cheerful colors.

• Mediterranean - Mediterranean Revival is a design style introduced in the United States

Making it your own might include one (and more likely several) of these wonderful ideas!

Finding a consistent message that reflects your personality thru color, pattern, and style is a MUST when making YOUR HOME a Great Place to Live!

Driving a little less than 4 hours Northwest of Charleston brings you to Richmond, Indiana.

Bordering the state of Ohio, Richmond was once a thriving city that had ties to the recording industry. ears later, the town is undergoing revitalization and doing what they do best--sharing incredible hospitality. See what there is to see and do in this easternmost Indiana city.

The Olde Richmond Inn has been delighting diners for years. The historic old-world landmark provides room after room of dining options and a menu filled with classic dishes.

I recommend the Beef Stroganoff and Onion Straws.

WHERE TO DINE IN RICHMOND

WHERE TO STAY IN RICHMOND Like most US cities, the chain hotels are plentiful in Richmond. The Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn Suites are both great choices, affordable, and centrally located. For a more 32 CharlestonHomeandLiving.com | JUNE 2018 032.618.indd 2

Model T Museum. After dinner, take a stroll through the Gennett Walk of Fame, featuring colorful plaques dedicated to those azz artists who recorded in Richmond such as Gene Autry, Lawrence Welk, and Louie Armstrong. The plaques lie in the ground along a paved bicycle and walking trail.

Richmond is famous for antiques and you will find a treasure trove of them at Antique Alley.

There are actually two trails devoted to yearround antiquing with a total of 1200 dealers within the two loops. This allows Richmond the bragging rights to being Indiana’s premier antique destination.

A big surprise is that the Richmond High School houses the Richmond Art Museum, a do-not-miss institution. The touring exhibits are equally as impressive as the permanent galleries filled with American artworks. If weather permits, schedule time for the Rose Garden and Hayes Arboretum for amazing scenery and beautiful blooms.

Get familiar with and photograph the Madonna of the Trail along the National Road.

These twelve monuments depicting the spirit of the Pioneer Women were erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution and run from Maryland to California. Richmond is home to the only one found in Indiana.

A short drive from Richmond is the Warm Glow Candle Company. This massive building (80,000 square feet) houses thousands of Warm Glow candles and unique housewares, wine, souvenirs, accessories, and lots more.

There is even an onsite cafe and candy shop.

Fun fact, the Warm Glow produces 15,000 candles per day.

Warm Glow Candles are hand-dipped in Indiana and offer a huge selection of assorted scented products.
