Preservation Georgia, Sept./Oct. 1998

PRESERVATION
GEORGIA
September/October 1998

Our Mission
To promote the preservation and use of historic places for a better
Georgia
Our Vision
Georgia will be a bener place tomorrow than it is roday, providing quality communities in which to live, work, learn and recreate. Historic places will be widely valued as irreplaceable resources that contribute to our heritage, our economy, our neighborhoods, and our sense of who we are as Georgians. Communities and the State will plan for growth and change that respect and include our hisroric places. Communities will possess the knowledge, the legal and financial rools, and the authority to decide how preservation and new development will relate to one another. There will still be distinctions between city and suburbs, developing areas and countryside. All Georgians will possess a greater understanding and appreciation of our shared hetitage in all its variations. People and organizations throughout Georgia will work in partnership to preserve and use historic places. Georgia's communities, economy, environment, and people will be bener because of the preservation of hisroric resources.

PRIDE IN THE PAST . . .HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

A Governor Miller ends his second rerm, he has requesred hat all state agencies look back and review their achievements during his administration. The information HPD compiled outlines a record of achievement that all preservationists can take pride in. We would like to share a summary of this information with our readers. In the coming months, with the 1998 Historic Preservation Study Committee, the 1999 legislative session, and a new Governor, this overview may provide insight into the state of historic preservation in Georgia today and tomorow. See p 4-5.

DIRECTORS COLUMN
1998 Joint Study Committee on Historic Preservation Begins Its Work
So successful was the work of the 1997 Joint Study Committee on Historic Preservation, preservation supporters in the General Assembly wanted to do it again. Senators George Hooks, Eric Johnson, Mary Margaret Oliver, and Mike Egan all co-sponsored Senate Mark R. Edwards Resolution 553 which created a new Joint Study Committee on Historic Preservation. This resolution was resoundingly approved by the General Assembly on a vote of 40 to 1 and signed by Governor Miller on Aptil 20, 1998.
Who are the members ofthe Study Committee? There are many returning members to the group, with all but three members serving on last year's committee. Senate members include George Hooks (Co-Chair), Eric Johnson, Mary Margaret Oliver, and Mike Egan. House members include Jeanette Jamieson (Co-Chair), Kathy Ashe, Bill Cummings, and Burke Day. The Governor's appointees include Davis Morgan (Association County Commissioners of Georgia), James B. Langford, Jr. (Georgia Chamber of Commerce), Lisa White (Georgia Historical Society), Pratt Cassity (Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation), Gregg Logan (Urban Land Institute), Lewis Glenn ( Trust for Public Land), and Ralph Moore, Mayot of Union City (Georgia Municipal Association). Agency representatives include Natural Resources Commissioner Lonice Barrett, Industry Trade and Tourism's Hanna Ledford, Department of Community Affairs' Mike Gleaton, Department of Transportation's David Studstill, and William Chatham, Vice Chancellor for Facilities with the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
What will the Study Committee be doing this year? We know that it will be building on last year's examination of the role and technological needs of historic presetvation in the 21 st century. Irs work will be focused through the same three subcommittees that were established last year: Preservation and Economic Development, Preservation and Resource Stewardship, and Preservation and Communities. While the 1997 Study Committee identified fifteen critical topics that it recommended to be examined in the future, HPD has recommended that the 1998 Study Committee focus on four major issues: 1) development of a new state tax incentive for owners of historic homes; 2) implementation of Senate Bill 446, especially provisions calling for state agencies to adequately plan for the preservation and protection of historic properties through its new requirement that state agencies look first at use of historic buildings in jurisdictions across the state when planning for new agency space needs; 3) increased funding for the next generation of historic preservation grants as well as other preservation service and partnership program funding needs; and 4) amendments to the Georgia Historic Preservation Act to improve protection of agricultural landscapes and historic districts. Other important issues which the Study Committee will explore include regional growth strategy needs, the impact of sprawl on historic properties, strengthening historic preservation components within the Georgia Planning Act, county courthouse protection legislation, and development of a true comprehensive heritage tourism strategy and strategic plan.
When and where will the Study Committee meet? HPD will produce a newsletter detailing this information as soon as it is confirmed. Preliminary plans are for the Committee to have an organizational meeting in Atlanta at the State Capitol on September 8, and one public hearing in Savannah during the week of October 26, in order to obtain input on preservation needs direct public input. This is a wonderful opportunity for members of the General Assembly and representatives of key state agencies to hear your recommendations. As many of you did last year, please come and actively participate in what will be one of the most important recent efforts to position historic preservation for success in the year 2000 and beyond.
On the cover: The importance of the role ofstewardship in the state was evidenced by the support offered by the Governor and the State Legislature for the ongoing restoration of the State Capitol. Update on Heritage Fund: DNR has produced a video on the benefits and implications of the Land, Water, Wildlife & Recreation Heritage Fund, a dedicated funding source for preservation and conservation needs, to be voted on in a state referendum on November 3. It is available for loan or purchase through the Department ofNatural Resources Film and Video unit, 404-657-9851.

PRIDE IN THE PAST

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

I n looking back on ~he hist~ric ~reservati~n pro~ram i~ Georgia over the last decade it is especially significant to note that preservation ofhlstonc properties has IncreasIngly become a public priority. We can quantify the effect that this program has had on public and private partnerships, the economics of community revitalization and tourism, and its value as an educational tool. Looking ahead, the variety of programs offered will significantly continue to benefit communities and their historic resources and to offer the legal and financial tools needed to preserve and retain in active use many of our historic places.

Preservation as Public Policy
The passage of the Georgia Planning Act in 1989 put into effect in all regions of the state the requirement that local governments incorporate historical and environmental resources into their planning. The building blocks of the preservation movement in Georgia over the last decade were considerably strengthened with this legislation. Other significant legislation includes:
In 1991, passage of the Georgia Environmental Policy Act, requiring that historic resources be taken into account for all state-funded projects.
In 1992, establishment of the Council on American Indian Concerns.
In 1993, establishment of the Georgia Civil War Commission.
In 1993, establishment of the Georgia State Capitol Commission.
In 1993, establishment of the Centennial Farms Program.
In 1993, funding of the state-owned buildings survey.
In 1994, elevation of the Office of Historic Preservation to division status within the Department of Natural Resources, and its move to the historic Healey Building in 1995.
In 1994, establishment of the Georgia Heritage 2000 Grant program, which has administered over $1,000,000 in grants for historic properties.
In 1997, authorization of the Joint Study Commitree on Historic Preservation. In 1998, passage of SB 446 tegatd-

ing state stewardship of historic properties, grants and museums.
In 1998, reauthorization of the Joint Study Committee on Historic Preservation.
In 1998, funding of the Archaeological Education and Protection program within HPD.
In tandem with the creation of the Georgia Heritage Fund (to be voted on in November) these distinctions further strengthen the impact ofpreservation in Georgia.
Public and Private Partnerships
Since the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act in 1966, preservation has been about partnerships. Georgia has been a national leader in successfully working with the program tools created by federal and state legislation to advance economic and educational awareness of the benefits of preservation. In collaboration with the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation and a statewide preservation network, state and local heritage programs that affect all levels of public and private decision-making have been effectively put in place. Georgia consistently holds a top place nationally in terms of its programs. Among the successes: Recognition by the Department of Interior: Georgia is one of the few states given broad control of the National Register review program and the environmental review program. HPD has worked with the regional

and local governments to give them more of these review responsibilities. Flood Recovery: The $2.5 million grant from the federal government in 1994 was the first project of its kind in the nation that specifically allocated federal flood recovery funds for historic preservation projects. Funds were used to assist owners of more than 100 historic properties in 20 communities as well as to provide an array of technical assistance and public awareness programs. Georgia's disaster plan, formulated in cooperation with a number of state agencies, is a national model. State Stewardship: In 1994, HPD completed a comprehensive survey of 1,175 state-owned historic properties, initiating a state stewardship planning process that has moved forward with the passage of SB 446, in the protection of other important properties.

The Affordable Housing Program sponsored by the Department ofHousing and Urban Development and the National Trust has not only brought additional funding to Georgia, it has spotlighted historic properties in Atlanta and Macon as national models for redevelopment.

In 1997, HPD co-sponsored "Telling Her Story," the first state-sponsored conference in the nation to focus on preserving and interpreting women's history through the built environment. In 1998, the Women's History Initiative was the recipient of funding through the Georgia Legislature to continue the study ofwomen's history by identifying and nominating significant properties associated with Georgia women to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Civil War Commission has assisted the state in the purchase of historic properties, raised public awareness, and will generate funds in tourist dollars as well as preserve important historic sites.
By this fall, HPD will complete a comprehensive multiyear economic benefits study detailing the costs and benefits of preservation as an economic tool for Georgia's communities and neighborhoods.

NATIONAL REGISTER UPDATE

REVIEW BOARD To
MEET IN COVINGTON

Recently Listed in the National Register:
Martha Poe Dogtrot House, Thomas County The Martha Poe Dogtrot House is a rare surviving example of a one-story dogtrot type house constructed of hand-hewn logs probably between 1850 and 1876. The nominated property includes the main house, two outbuildings, and adjacent land. It was listed at the local level of significance in May.
Starrsville Rural Historic District, Newton County The Starrsville Rural Historic District is a large rural area situated berween the Alcovy River on the west and West Bear Creek on the east. The district encompasses two areas that developed over time, including historic residential, commercial, and community landmark buildings; historic farmsteads wirh associated outbuildings and fields; family cemeteries; railrelated resources; and potential archaeological resources. The buildings in this district were constructed during the early to mid -19th century and into the early-20th century. The district was listed at the local level of significance in June.
Tennille Woman's Clubhouse, Washington County The Tennille Woman's Clubhouse is a one-story log building built in the early 20th century as a clubhouse. It is located in downtown Tennille between a house and a city park, forming a transition between residential and commercial areas. It reflects an early 20th century interest in the Arts and Crafts movement, popularized by the rustic buildings in national and state parks. It continues to be an active local meeting place, and was listed at the local level of significance in late June.
Wrightsboro Historic District, McDuffie County Wrightsboro is one of the oldest continuously inhabited European settlements in the Georgia interior north of the coastal region and inland from the Savannah River valley. It includes the land set aside in 1769 for the Wrightsboro Township, a Quaker settlement established by the Colony of Georgia. The settlement continued until the 1830's, with the church as the only remaining institution from the once-flourishing area. It is significant for historic archaeology, architecture, and community planning and development. Wrightsboro was Georgia's only Quaker-based settlement, and for that reason has always retained a unique place in Georgia history. It was listed in July at the state level of significance.

On September 24-25, the National Register Review Board will meet in Covington, Newton County, for the fall meeting. This year, the Review Board schedule has been modified to meet only three times during the year. The following nominati'ons will be presented to the Board for recommendation to the National Register of Historic Places:
Collins Avenue Historic District, Cobb County Williams House, Crawford County Cumming Public School, Forsyth County Isaac Adair House,Gwinnett County Adair Park Historic District, Fulton County Sunnyside School and Midway Baptist Church and Cemetery, Harris County Braselton Historic District, Jackson County Covington Mills Historic District, Newton County North Covington Historic District, Newton County Burge Plantation, Newton County Hiram Colored School, Paulding County Fort Valley State College Historic District, Peach County

WORTH NOTING
~ Staff Changes
Hiring has been completed on several key positions at HPD. Jecyn Bremer has joined the office as Environmental Review Associate Planner, Liz Canon has taken on the position of Grants Assistant, and Michelle Evans joined HPD/CWC in late June as Project Manager/ Planning Coordinator for the Georgia Civil War Commission. The Communications Coordinator, Tax Incentives Specialist, and Field Archaeologist positions are in the interviewing stage.
In mid-July, Tracey Rutherford left her position as the Architectural Reviewer for the TEA Program to found her own preservation/architectural firm. Although Tracey will be missed at HPD, we wish her great success in this new endeavor. If you need assistance with your TEA project while this position is vacant, Tracey has offered to field questions during the interim; feel free to call her at 404-355-2518.
~ Planning
GAAHPN: HPD and the National T rust agreed in June to undertake a long-range strategic and organizational planning process. Phase I will focus on gathering assessments from the GAAHPN Steering Committee and the full membership, conducting interviews with preservationists and other interested individuals, and developing a comprehensive profile of GAAHPN's organizational structure, accomplishments, effectiveness, and needs. Phase II, scheduled for early 1999, will include assessment analysis, goal setting, and development of strategies. All those on the GAAHPN mailing list will receive a questionnaire in mid-October. We need active and thoughtful participation for this process to help set

the course for the future of Georgia's African American preservation programs. Contact Cheryl Johnson at 404-657-1054 or Carole Griffith at 404-651-5180 for additional information.
The GCWC/ICAD Project: The fifteen member Georgia Civil War Commission (GCWC) hopes to raise greater public awareness to the plight of Georgia's vanishing Civil War heritage. Many of the Commission's objectives and goals, set in 1994, have been met. Now, new goals need to be established and old ones revised. Currently, the GCWC and the Institute of Community and Area Development (lCAD) are working on a survey that will be mailed to companies, organizations, and individuals across the state who hold an interest in preserving and protecting Georgia's treasured past. The Commission hopes to gather both positive and negative feedback on its overall effectiveness and visibility. This information will help the Comission revise its shortterm objectives and long-range goals and identify priorities for legislation and non-profit private foundation support. The survey will be ready for distribution by mid-August. Public forum dates are set for Savannah on September 2 at the Historic Roundhouse Complex from 1 to 4 pm, and in Dalton on September 22 at Sequoia Hall, Room 102, Dalton College, from 1 to 4 pm.

Rural Resources Study: HPD will soon be requesting proposals from consultants for the preparation of a historic context study on Georgia's agricultural and rural resources. This will provide a framework for identifying and evaluating historic farms, farm-related buildings and structures, agricultural landscapes, and farm districts state-wide. The projected budget will be approximately $50,000. If you would like to receive the Request for Proposals, please contact Richard Cloues at 404-651-5983.
~ Meetings
Annual Conference of the Society for Commercial Archeology (SCA) will be held on October 21-24, 1998 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. "Drivin' the Dixie: Automobile Tourism in the South" will explore automobile tourism and its impact on the commercial-built environment in the South. A workshop on nominating highways to the National Register of Historic Places will be held on October 21st. For information contact Jeffrey L. Durbin at 404-651-6546, email:jefLdurbin@mail.dnr.state.ga.us. The Georgia Centennial Farm Awards Presentation will be held on Friday, October 9, 1998 at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter in Perry. The program begins with a luncheon at 12:30 followed by an awards program recognizing the 1998 Centennial Farms. The program honors farms which have been continuously operating for at least 100 years.
