Letter from the President

Tangible

Above left: W.B. Gould and sons. Above right: W. B. Gould IV (far left) and family.

T

hrough the years, a “tangible link to history” has been cited as one of the many benefits of historic preservation, and there’s been a mini tug-of-war within the profession about “putting history back into historic preservation.” What I’ve witnessed personally is that a preserved building invites interest in its history, and when the building is destroyed, often the reasons for learning more dissipate. We’ve learned so much in the last quarter century about several properties that PNC has helped to preserve. Much of that information has been valuable far beyond the boundaries of the property, and without the tangible link to the preserved building, the history would probably never have been recovered. A few examples.

We keep learning more and more about the Bellamy Mansion in Wilmington, a PNC Stewardship Property. Early research turned up a diary, found in the Yale archives, by the mansion’s young apprentice architect. The young “Yankee” living in Wilmington in the years immediately before the Civil War left a detailed account of the construction of the house by enslaved and free African Americans. Because of that record, we now know about enslaved craftsmen whose families have risen to modern-day 3

Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Obama, is a direct descendant of Henry Taylor, an enslaved carpenter who worked on the mansion. Taylor’s son rose to prominence as an architect in the late 19th century, and his grandson became the first African American chairman of the Chicago Housing Authority. Jarrett is considered to be one of the most powerful women in America. The great-grandfather and namesake of William B. Gould IV, a professor emeritus of law at Stanford University and past chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, was an enslaved plasterer at the Bellamy Mansion. The link to history doesn’t get more tangible than to witness the modern-day Gould standing in Wilmington holding in his hands a piece of plaster inscribed with his great-grandfather’s initials, WBG. In Gastonia, PNC worked for more than a decade to preserve the 4

Armstrong Hotel/Apartments. We learned that the building had been built as a teacherage, designed by a prominent architect (Charles C. Wilson of Columbia, SC), and named after the much-loved Mayor C.B. Armstrong, who passed away before its completion. We now know that Armstrong was a much revered public citizen and private industrialist. He was a partner in the teacherage and many other prominent developments, owned numerous mills (he even implemented profit-sharing for his workers in the 1910s), and was responsible for many reforms that improved the quality of life for Gastonia, from schools to sidewalks. Armstrong was lauded as the city’s “premier citizen” at his death. However, his name faded away through the years. Even the building shed the name of Armstrong and became known simply as Marietta Street Apartments. Now under renovation, the building

Now the exhibit about Thomas Day is headed for the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, located directly across from the White House, for the summer of 2013. It’s impossible to know whether this explosion of interest in the life and work of Thomas Day would have occurred if his home had been destroyed. Regardless of the answer to that hypothetical question, I am firmly convinced that historic preservation does provide a real and tangible link to history—much more so than I would have ever imagined years ago.

Spring 2013

will again honor Armstrong, commemorating his legacy as a community leader. If the building had been destroyed, this remarkable man would continue to languish in the background. Perhaps the clearest link between place and history has centered around the story of Thomas Day, the free black cabinetmaker from Milton. The broad outline of Day’s life and legacy has been known for years, but so much more has been learned since his home was nearly destroyed in 1989. Using funds from its 50th Anniversary Campaign, PNC bought the property after a massive fire­—with no realistic prospects for a sale. Local citizens organized a new nonprofit to restore Day’s home and workshop and set to work on the daunting undertaking. A year didn’t go by without learning something new about Thomas Day. Articles about the restoration effort appeared in such newspapers as the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal. The Andy Warhol Foundation provided PNC a grant to document Day’s architectural woodwork in southern Virginia and northern NC. The project mushroomed, as one site visit led to another. Researchers dug into the records to learn more about the elusive antebellum black man. An obituary from Liberia about his brother, the Chief Justice of the Liberian Supreme Court, proved transformative. More than two decades after the fire, Thomas Day: Master Craftsman and Free Man of Color, was published

PNC Awards

Recognize Preservation Achievements Statewide

A

t its annual conference in Asheville, Preservation North Carolina presented its 2012 Honor Awards to individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the field of historic preservation. The 2012 RUTH COLTRANE CANNON AWARD, PNC’s highest award for achievement in preservation, was presented to Linda and Rufus Edmisten of Raleigh. Four decades ago, in 1973, Linda was named the first historic preservation planner for the Raleigh City Planning Department. She played a critical role in saving the Oakwood neighborhood from a planned highway project, and she helped stop the demolition of houses on Blount Street. Through the years

she has worked on several downtown revitalization projects, written numerous books and articles, and served on many boards and commissions, including the PNC board and the Raleigh Planning Commission, which she currently chairs. As North Carolina’s Attorney General, Rufus Edmisten worked to enhance the state’s historic preservation laws in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Much of the state legislation that we work with today resulted from the work of

Rufus has long touted the many economic and social advantages of revitalization. He played a critical role in saving the New River from being dammed and has served on the board of the N.C. State Capitol Foundation for over 25 years, including a six-year stint as President. Linda and Rufus recently placed a preservation easement on their own historic home in order to assure the protection of the house and its setting. With historic preservation efforts that span four decades, Linda and Rufus Edmisten continue to be forces in historic preservation in North Carolina. Jeff Adolphsen was awarded the ROBERT E. STIPE PROFESSIONAL AWARD, the highest award presented to North Carolina professionals who demonstrate outstanding commitment to historic preservation.

Jeff has worked as a Restoration Specialist for the NC Historic Preservation Office (NCHPO) since 1990. A licensed landscape architect, Jeff has brought his expertise to the historic landscapes at many sites, including the State Capitol in Raleigh, Weymouth Center in Southern Pines, and the Endor Iron Furnace near Sanford. In addition to his work for the NCHPO in 18 counties in the southeastern region of the state, Jeff is a dedicated preservationist and lives it every day. He is restoring his own 1901 house in the Wake Forest historic district and has served on the board of the Wake Forest Downtown Revitalization Corporation in various leadership capacities. Jeff’s passion for preservation doesn’t quit at the end of the workday.

The MINNETTE C. DUFFY LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION AWARD went to High Rock Farm in Rockingham County. The 1807 Federalstyle High Rock plantation house and the accompanying 133 acres were purchased by Richard and Rolfe Teague from PNC in 1990. The Teagues lovingly restored the house and turned the site into a vibrant and beautiful landscape

that’s a source of local agricultural products. They’ve shared High Rock Farm with scores of people over the years. Sadly Rolfe Teague passed away in 2010. Richard continues to operate High Rock as a special place—historically and agriculturally. High Rock Farm is now a well-known source for fresh local products including chestnuts, chestnut flour, pecans, sugar toasted pecans, blackberries, raspberries and blackberry jam. The farm is also available as a venue for weddings, parties, and events. High Rock Farm beautifully combines the best of historic preservation and locally based agriculture. Bath High School Preservation (BHSP) was awarded the 2012 STEDMAN INCENTIVE GRANT. The $10,000 grant, made possible by the Marion S. Covington Foundation, will be used to help complete the exterior restoration of the town’s largest building, the former Bath High School. The school was built in two stages, in 1918 and 1921. It is described as “an excellent and intact example of early The 2012 Carraway Award winners

Today, the group has 421 members, has raised over half a million dollars, and has completed a great deal of work. By the end of 2013, BHSP plans to have completed all exterior work and finished the interior of the South Wing, providing their community with a spacious library and gallery. It’s been a Herculean effort by a little group of concerned citizens. Preservation NC also presented twelve GERTRUDE S.

Endangered and Significant . . . and Safe

I

f you follow our properties for sale, you may occasionally wonder why PNC is working with a particular property. As the “animal shelter” for historic properties, we deal with all sorts of “dogs,” some purebred and some not. When determining which properties to work with through the “revolving fund,” we look for properties that are endangered, significant, buyable and sellable, and have local support. We routinely have to strike a balance

between jeopardy and significance. If a property is in immediate danger of being destroyed, we’re more likely to jump in, even if the property is less significant than some others. In our advertising, we don’t usually

Ted Alexander and Carlos Pleitez tell why we are working with a particular property, often for strategic reasons. For example, if we’re working with an owner who planned to tear the building down, we don’t want to threaten a constructive relationship. At other times, we’re racing against the clock on a property that’s been condemned. So here’s the skinny on some of our recently sold properties. Ted Alexander, PNC’s regional director in western North Carolina, has many pleasant memories of the W. T. and Eloise Alexander House in Lenoir, once the home of his grandmother. But the house now stood vacant, and as a corner property in a historic neighborhood, its vacancy adversely affected both the house and the neighbors. 12

Ted seized an opportunity to save it by persuading relatives to give it to PNC. The search for a buyer led to Carlos Pleitez, who was seeking a good home in Lenoir. Negotiations for the real estate transaction were facilitated by his precocious bilingual 10-year-old son, Juan, who helped explain preservation covenants to his father. Work is already underway, benefiting from the help of friends, relatives and neighbors. Carlos regularly checks in with Ted with renovation questions. The sale of the Alexander House represents a 21st-century path to neighborhood revitalization. In Shelby, the Durham-Whisnant House was also in trouble. Its midcentury Mount Vernon-style front porch was failing, and the deteriorating house was tarnishing the neighborhood.

district that needed special attention. The town needed work done on the house, and the family needed to dispose of it. PNC was fortunate to find an enthusiastic buyer, Stevie Edwards, who grew up nearby and will soon be moving into the home. Sometimes the threat is more dramatic. Once a parsonage, the Simons House in Edenton was being

Garry Copeland has already started working on the Riddick House eyed by the neighboring church for parking or a playground. Claudia Deviney, PNC’s northeast regional director, engineered one last chance. Guiliano Giannone, the Innkeeper of the nearby Pack House Inn, bought the fine 1889 Italianate house to expand its operations. He negotiated a new, safer entrance for the church and the B & B. Win-win. We like that. The Thomas Riddick House in Gates County seemed destined to become a fire-practice target for the local volunteer fire department. Quick action by Claudia resulted in a consortium of preservationists moving the house to Edenton, stabilizing it, and letting PNC find a good buyer. Garry Copeland, who long ago renovated the Mitchell-Ward House in 14

rural Perquimans County, bought the Riddick House as his “weekend” house. We love our “serial restorers.” Thanks, Garry! Preservation easements, another effective tool in PNC’s toolbox, can proactively eliminate future threats to significant historic properties. These properties are already in sympathetic ownership, and the easement helps guarantee that they stay that way in perpetuity. Bill and Eva May Walker of Charlotte wanted to make sure her family homeplace, the Benjamin MayLewis House in Farmville and its rural setting, were permanently protected. With the advance of development deriving from Greenville’s growing medical complex, it wasn’t hard to


Spring 2013

The Benjamin May-Lewis House envisage the fine 1830s Federal/Greek Revival house someday being enveloped by development. So the Walkers placed a preservation easement on the historic house and 27 acres, securing its preservation. In Raleigh, Randy and Heather Scott did the same on the Heck-Pool House, sited on a 0.8 acre parcel in downtown Raleigh. Located in the Oakwood historic district, the land could have been subdivided, allowing for new development in the middle of the block. The Scotts placed a preservation easement on the important Second Empire house, one of three matching “cottages” built by Heck, in order to assure that the setting was permanently respected—for themselves and their neighbors. After four sour years for the real estate market, 2012 represented a vast

improvement for PNC’s endangered historic properties work. Thirteen endangered properties were sold for renovation, and nine significant properties were placed under preservation easements. Those numbers almost match those of the mid-2000s. The new year is off to a rousing start. Gourd Hollow in Nash County was PNC’s first sale in 2013. This eclectic rustic log house was both highly significant and endangered. Its longtime owner, Roy Wilder, Jr., hosted many of the Democratic giants of mid20th century North Carolina, including Frank Porter Graham, Kerr Scott, and Terry Sanford at his home. But after his death, it sat vacant. The new buyer, Dr. Jeffrey Childers of Raleigh, plans a gentle renovation of the home as a personal retreat. 15

The Georgetta Bullock House And, PNC has sold its first renovated house in East Durham, the Georgetta Bullock House at 106 N. Driver, to Sarah and Brett Fox. Two nearby houses, fully rehabilitated as part of a collaboration of PNC and Preservation Durham, are now on the market, and work is about to begin on another, under the guidance of Cathleen Turner, PNC’s piedmont regional director. The goal is to help uplift this historic Durham neighborhood through strategic renovation projects, made possible with a loan from the A.J. Fletcher Foundation. A great year of preservation awaits PNC as more endangered properties are sold and additional preservation easements are granted by concerned property owners. Soon PNC will be topping the 700 mark for protected properties, a monumental achievement!

Maybe we can reach 750 properties by the end of 2014, our 75th Anniversary. Please let our regional directors know if there is an endangered or significant historic property in your community that we should be working with.

Hilmer Drive Raleigh See (Q) on map $350,000 Want to buy what might be the oldest remaining private residence in Raleigh? Nathaniel “Crabtree� Jones is thought to have built his fine, well-proportioned Federal-style plantation house on a hill near Crabtree Creek around 1795. It retains the details expected in a prominent house of its day: massive chimneys, molded weatherboarding, three-part mantels, flat-panel wainscoting, six-panel doors, and more. In the mid-19th century, a substantial addition was built, providing spacious, well-lit rear rooms. This rare house was designated a local landmark in 1967 and placed on the National Register in 1973. PNC plans to move the house and chimneys less than 500 feet to a residential lot in Crabtree Heights, where it will have a permanent natural buffer on two sides. It will be set on a new foundation and sold as-is for renovation. PNC is willing to enter into a contract or memo of agreement prior to the completion of work. The house will retain its National Register and local landmark designations so that tax incentives will be available. Square Feet: 3,448; Lot Size: 0.46 acre; Zoning: Residential.

Did You Know? Available for Restoration is published by Preservation North Carolina to advertise the endangered historic buildings of the members of the Association of Revolving Funds. The historic properties listed in this section will be sold subject to protective covenants and rehabilitation agreements. The Association of North Carolina Revolving Funds, founded by Preservation NC, is the nation’s first statewide association of nonprofit organizations and public agencies that purchase and sell historic properties in order to preserve them. The Historic Properties Emporium section contains paid advertisements of historic

properties for sale by owners and realtors. Preservation NC strongly encourages the buyers of these properties to place protective covenants into the deed at the time of closing to ensure the preservation of the historic buildings. Preservation NC will gladly assist in formulating covenants suited to specific buildings and sites. Paid advertising is also available on Preservation NC’s web site. Visit www.PreservationNC.org for more information. Preservation North Carolina is the only statewide nonprofit preservation organization in North Carolina. It is a membership organization dedicated to preserving and promoting buildings and sites

important to North Carolina’s diverse heritage. Preservation NC provides educational opportunities and public recognition of outstanding individuals and groups in preservation. Preservation NC operates an Endangered Properties Program (the Revolving Fund) to preserve endangered historic buildings and sites. Preservation NC’s staff members travel extensively, and are frequently out of the office. Their hours are generally 9 am to 5 pm, Monday–Friday. Appointments to see properties need to be made several days in advance, since volunteers help show them.

Tax Credits Available Valuable tax incentives are available in North Carolina for the rehabilitation of historic structures. Owners of incomeproducing historic structures who qualify for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credits may also take a 20% North Carolina income tax credit, combining to create a 40% credit on qualified rehabilitation expenses. Additionally, a 30% North Carolina income tax credit is available for the rehabilitation of non-income-producing historic structures (including owner-occupied historic

residences). Eligible properties must be certified historic structures (that is, listed on the National Register of Historic Places or a contributing property in a National Register historic district), and rehabilitation work must be done in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.

The North Carolina Historic Preservation Office (NCHPO) strongly urges owners interested in receiving tax credits to submit their rehabilitation plans for approval prior to commencement of work.

Before & after

The Caleb Savage House in Gates County suffered significant damage after Hurricane Isabel in 2003. Susan and John Shultis purchased the Greek Revival House and have carefully restored it as well as the six outbuildings, including a two-room slave house. The Shultises were recognized with a 2012 Carraway Award for their impressive efforts.
