1994 Annual Report
Historic Preservation Division Georgia Department of Natural Resources
September 1994

This past state fiscal year (July 1, 1993, to June 30, 1994) has been a banner year for historic preservation in Georgia. Last fall a group of citizens led by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation and Georgians for Preservation Action went to the Governor with a proposal to complement his natural areas initiative, Preservation 2000, with Heritage 2000. Heritage 2000 had three major components: 1) measures to strengthen the State Historic Preservation Office; 2) provisions for rehabilitation funding at the local level; and 3) recommendations to improve stewardship of state-owned historic properties.
There has been progress in all three areas. First, Governor Miller included $265,000 in his FY 1995 budget to initiate Heritage 2000 grants for downtown and neighborhood revitalization. The General Assembly responded by appropriating $135,000 of the Governor's original request to begin this new state program, which went into effect in our current fiscal year. Second, this past spring, the Governor also recommended to the Department of Natural Resources that the State Historic Preservation Office be raised to a divisionlevel status within the Department. This gives the office a higher visibility and more direct access to the Department's division structure. With the formal action of the Department of Natural Resources Board at its June meeting, the Office of Historic Preservation became the Historic Preservation Division (HPD) on July 1, 1994. Third, in the area of stewardship there have also been important initiatives. The state-owned building survey, funded from the Governor's discretionary fund, was completed, providing an information base for future actions. In conjunction with this, the General Assembly authorized a Rhodes Hall Study Commission to develop recommendations for this important state-owned historic property. Georgians who are concerned about their historic and cultural resources indeed have something to celebrate this year.
As I leave public service, I am optimistic about the future ofthe state's historic preservation program. HPD continues to structure its action and assistance in all programs to help Georgia communities use historic preservation as one strategy for community improvement. This report recognizes many accomplishments, from data added to the survey inventory, to an increase in the number ofNational Register nominations sent to Washington for listing, to the initiation of our second five-year statewide historic preservation planning process. To help us formulate this plan, please take a few moments to fill out
and return the planning questionnaire at the end of the Annual Report.

DowJrtown St. Marys
CASE STUDY: St. Marys Waterfront Committee
During SFY 1994, a series of facilitated meetings were held in St. Marys to help set the future course for the waterfront and resolve conflicts over preservation and development. Participants included representatives from the Cumberland Island National Seashore (NPS), the City of St. Marys, the St. Marys Historic Preservation Commission, the Tourism Council, the HPD, the Coastal Georgia Regional Development Center, and several members of the public who had special knowledge and interest in downtown St. Marys, as well as its waterfront and historic district.
A consensus planning process was undertaken to improve dialogue and interaction among the parties. This consensus building process helped develop the direction, energy, and mutual support necessary to accomplish community goals. Out ofthis process a series ofagreements and recommendations were worked out for the future use and preservation of the St. Marys waterfront and historic district.

Historic Preservation Planning
One oftlze critical parts of an effective preservation program is the incorporation ofhistoricpreservation into planning processes at the state, regional and local levels. HPD works through comprehensive, regional, and community planning programs. HPD activities include gatlzering and providing information about historic resources; identifying trends that may affect historic resources and their preservation, and developing initiatives in response to those trends; coordinating with otlzer agencies and organizations that affect historic resources; and assisting local governments and regional planning agencies with implementation of tlze Georgia Planning Act.

Comprehensive Planning
The Comprehensive Planning Program helps the HPD look beyond individual projects, to see the "big picture" in preservation and work toward long-term solutions to issues. Comprehensive Planning includes trends analysis, development of information on historic resources, special initiatives addressing statewide or regional issues, and implementation of the Georgia Historic Preservation Plan through annual action plans.
During SFY 1994, HPD and the Georgia Department of Transportation worked together to better integrate preservation into statewide transportation planning. The two agencies developed a statewide historic bridge inventory and management plan project and entered into a cooperative agreement to provide preservation assistance to Transportation Enhancement projects. HPD took an active role in helping to shape the new statewide transportation plan and the Enhancements program.
Affordable housing in historic buildings and downtown revitalization strategies are other statewide planning issues with which HPD is currently involved.
Community Planning Services
The Community Planning Services program includes both coordination of regional preservation planners and planning assistance to local communities. One effective way to orchestrate this coordination is through the Historic Preservation Planning Network. The exchange of information among Network members plays a valuable role in increasing an understanding of all aspects of historic preservation and preservationrelated work. The Network consists of regional preservation planners and preservation planners working for municipalities or organizations on the local and state levels. The Planning Network met in October in Thomasville where the major topic of discussion was the Red Hills area and rural preservation issues. The spring quarterly meeting was held in May on Sapelo Island. Major discussions there focused on the archeology, history, and culture of Sapelo Island, as well as preservation issues related to tabby structures and other ruins in coastal Georgia.

Georgia Civil War Commission
The Georgia Civil War Commission was created by the General Assembly in 1993 and began its work in September of that year. The 15-member Commission, with staff assistance provided by HPD, is authorized to collect information and prepare a database on the state's historic properties related to the Civil War; to raise public awareness and encourage the protection of Civil War historic resources in Georgia; and to promote tourism to Civil War sites throughout the state. During the year, the Commission met at various locations, including Atlanta, Jonesboro, and Rome. This first year the Commission has focused on three projects: the development of a preservation plan for Resaca's Civil War resources, the publication of a guidebook to Civil War sites in Georgia, and creation of an inventory of Civil War-related historic resources. The first two projects, slated for completion soon, are funded by the National Park Service's American Battlefield Protection Program; the third project, the inventory process, is underway.

Survey
and
Inventory
Knowing about historic properties is the essentialfirst step in a community's preservation effons and facilitates wise decisions about preserving individual buildings and neighborhoods.
Eight surveys were completed during SFY 1994, adding 2,687 individual properties to the state inventory and documenting 1,748 in a preliminary survey, increasing the total number of propenies in the Georgia Historic Resources Survey to over 73,000 historic structures and approximately 16,000 archeological sites.
The new surveys included Columbia County, Chatham County outside Savannah, northern Coweta County including Newnan, Troup County outside LaGrange, the City ofWinterville, the Martin Luther King Jr. Historic Distrid, and a preliminary survey ofJackson County. Information from these surveys has begun to be entered in the HPD computer database.

CASE STUDY:
Chatham County
Sponsored by the Metropolitan Planning Commission, the survey of Chatham County outside the city limits of Savannah added 554 historic properties to the Georgia Historic Resources Survey database. This was five times the number of buildings surveyed previously in 1975. Included in the survey area were
the communities of Bloomingdale, Garden City, Pooler, Port Wentworth, Tybee Island, Thunderbolt, and Vernonburg.
In percentages of single-family houses, listings in the National Register, and buildings not exhibiting particular architectural style, Chatham County approximates statewide survey results. The county, however, has significantly higher numbers oftwo-story buildings (42 %), wood-frame construction (77 %), and town or urban settings (71 %), but lower numbers of 20th.century buildings (66%).
The survey recommended further research into the industrial history of areas along the Savannah River and spurred interest in other preservation activities in Chatham County communities. Vernonburg is working on a National Register district nomination. Tybee Island organized a local preservation group, and Isle of Hope is seeking to be the first Chatham County community outside Savannah to have a local review commission.

Eider's Mill Covered Bridge
CASE STUDY: Elder's Mill Covered Bridge & Elder Mill Oconee County
The Eider's Mill Covered Bridge and Elder Mill includes an 1897 wooden covered bridge and a c.1900 two-story wood-framed mill. The bridge, built by Nathaniel Richardson in the Town Lattice design, is one of only 14 surviving covered bridges in Georgia and the last oftheseto be listed in the National Register. The bridge originally was located on the WatkinsvilleAthens Road spanning Call Creek in Clarke County, but was moved to its present location spanning Rose Creek in 1924. Although its 99-foot length was unchanged, its gabled woodshingle roof was replaced with metal. The grist mill, located approximately 100 yards east of the bridge, was a turbineoperated mill which ceased operation in 1941. The National Register nomination of the bridge and mill was sponsored by Oconee County, the Northeast Georgia Regional Development Center, and the mill's owner.

National Register/ Georgia, Register of ffistoric Places
1he National Register is the official list of historic buildings, structures, sites, objects and districts wonhy of preservation. Register listing provides recognition of a property's architectural, historical, or archeological significance. Listing in the Register identifies historic propenies for local, state, and federal planning purposes andencouragestheirpreservation through public awareness andpreservation incentives. Propenies listed in the National Register are automatically listed in the GeorgiaRegisterofHistoric Places.

CASE STUDY: Moultrie Commercial Historic District Colquitt County
The Moultrie Commercial Historic District, located in Colquitt County, comprises a nine-block area at the city's core and features mainly commercial buildings, as well as agriindustrial and institutional structures. The district is historically significant in the areas of architecture, community planning and development, transportation, and politics and government. Notable properties within the district include the Colquitt County Courthouse, the Carnegie Library, the Colquitt County Jail, the Confederate Monument, the railroad depot, the Coleman Building, the Colquitt Theater, and the People's Warehouse. The district also includes distinctive landscape characteristics, including the courthouse square. The city's original gridiron street pattern also survives intact. The nomination of the Moultrie Commercial Historic District to the National Register was sponsored by the Moultrie-Colquitt Main Street Program.

National Register Review Board
During SFY 1994, the Georgia National Register Review Board held its quarterly meetings in Atlanta, Carrollton, and Thomasville. The Thomasville meeting was a special joint session with the National Trust Southern Region Advisors. In addition to Trust staff and advisors from 10 southern states, participants included representatives from local historical societies and preservation organizations, as well as state historic preservation offices and non-profits from the region. During the meeting, National Trust President Dick Moe presented both State Historic Preservation Officer Elizabeth A. Lyon and Georgia Trust Board member Marguerite Williams a National
Trust President's Award and a copy of the new book, America Restored.
New Review Board members who began terms on July 1, 1993, included David Maschke and Susan Skinner Thomas, architects, and at-large representatives Ralph Moore and Carmaleta Monteith. Erick Montgomery and Patricia Edwards began their duties as chair and vice-chair respectively, which they renewed for an additional three years on July 1, 1994. Also at this time, Florence Corley of Marietta joined the Review Board for a three-year term, representing the discipline of history.

Centennial
Fann
Program
Because the family farm has played a significant role in Georgia's history, the Centennial Farm program has been established to recognize the state's historic resources. 1he program is sponsored by HPD in cooperation with the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the Georgia Forestry Commission, the University of Georgia's College ofAgricultural and Environmental Sciences, and the Georgia National Fair. To qualijyfor any ofthe three categories of recognition, a farm must still be operating with a minimum of10 acres involvedin agricultural production or with a $1,000 annual farm income. At the recent National Fair, which was held in October in Perry, recipients were recognized for participating in the 1994 Georgia Centennial Farm Program.

The Coulter Farm in Walker Co11nty
CASE STUDY: The Coulter Farm, Walker County
The J.W. Coulter Farm has been in the same family since
1874, when Mitch Coulter bought the 200-acre farm from Burton Graham, who was moving to Texas. The now 300-acre historic farm is part of the McLemore Cove National Register District and includes 122 acres from the original purchase. The Coulters raised cotton, grain, hay, cattle, horses, and mules. In November, 1893, the large barn burned and was replaced by another barn and several smaller outbuildings which are still standing. These include a smokehouse, milkhouse, and storehouse. The farmhouse was built during the 1850s. Today, three generations of the Coulter family continue to live on the farm; its major products are hay and beef cattle.

Preservation
Tax
Incentives
A community 's historic buildings reflect the unique character ofits neighborhoods andgathering places, offering residents a sense ofplace, as well as atangible link to the past. Federal and state laws have been enacted to suppon the preservation ofthese buildings through tax credits and incentives. Especially when combined with other .financial and community programs, preservation incentives make impressive contributions to Georgia's economy.

77,e rehabilitated exterior of the Hastings Seed Compa,,y 011 Marietta Street in Atlanta
CASE STUDY: Hastings Seed Company, Atlanta
Built c.1920, this four-story, _concrete-frame structure with brick veneer is located at the southeastern edge of the industrial/railroad corridor along Marietta Street. The building exterior features large steel sash windows, masonry sills, storefront openings, belt courses, and masonry and tile coping. The floorplan is open, and the interior features ribbed circular concrete columns with flared capitals, concrete stairs with metal banisters, an elevator, arched openings with sliding metal fire doors, concrete floors, and some plaster walls and ceilings.
This warehouse served as headquarters for an Atlanta home gardening institution for nearly 30 years, providing seeds and gardening supplies throughout the Southeast. The conversion ofthe industrial building into loft apartments began in July 1993 and finished eight months later. Rehabilitation work included cleaning unpainted brick masonry; repainting already-
painted brick; retaining and repairing as many windows as possible and replacing severely deteriorated windows with exact replicas of historic windows; providing additional stairs and an elevator, as required by code; installing new heat, air, electrical and plumbing systems; cleaning interior concrete floors and columns; and installing kitchens and bathrooms. With the exception of minimal partitions, the new apartments retain the open space and feel of the historic warehouse.
The owners took advantage ofboth the federal and state tax
14

incentive programs. They worked with HPD to provide necessary documentation and to complete the rehabilitation accordingio the Secretary ofthe Interior Standardsfor Rehabilitation. The building is leasing well and is one of several loft conversions of historic warehouse space in downtown Atlanta.

Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit Program
According to the National Park Service Annual Report (FFY 1993) Georgia ranked number two in the nation for 11 certifiedII rehabilitations, in spite of a general decline in the numbers of rehabilitation investment tax credit projects nationwide. During SFY 1994, HPD reviewed a total of 73 applications, representing over $16 million in proposed projects and $23 million in completed work.
During the past year, HPD co-sponsored workshops in Gainesville and Savannah on the federal and state tax incentive programs. Staff also discussed these incentives at real estate seminars in Athens and Atlanta, the statewide historic preservation conference in Americus, the historic preservation planner meeting on Sapelo Island, and at both Georgia State University's and the University of Georgia's graduate historic preservation classes.

Georgia Preferential Property Tax Assessments
Property owners continue to utilize the statewide tax incentive program for the successful rehabilitation of their historic homes and businesses. During SFY 1994, HPD reviewed 84 proposed projects representing an estimated rehabilitation cost ofover $12 million and 50 completed projects for an additional $12 million.

Review and Compliance
Federally funded, licensed, or permitted projects enable communities throughout Georgia to carry out many esselltial activities involving transportation, housing, health, and safety. Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Prese1Wltion Act require federal agencies to obtain HPD comments on the effects ofthese projects on historic resources. HPD works' with communities, mllitary bases, development co,porations, national forests, state parks, and others in meeting these responsibilities.

CASE STUDY: U.S. 27/Chickamauga-Chattanooga Park Catoosa and Walker Counties
Established in 1890, Chickamauga-Chattanooga is the country's oldest Civil War military park. Ground-breaking for realignment of U.S. 27 around the park took place during the summer of 1994; construction of the new route ends a 60-year effort to widen the highway and preserve the park's monuments and sensitive landscape.
Although the National Park Service (NPS) first urged the State Highway Department to 1ook at ways to move the highway outside the park in 1934, it was not until the late 1950s that studies were conducted. In 1967 a plan to reconstruct the highway inside the park boundary emerged, but passage ofthe National Historic Preservation Act made it necessary to conduct new studies analyzing project effects. During the next two decades, NPS and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT} studied alternative alignments, including re-routing U.S. 27 outside the park and separating through-traffic from visitors to the battlefield.
Passage of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National
Military Park Authorization Bill in late 1987 assured that the alignment would be located mainly outside the park's western
boundary, with NPS providing 75%ofthe cost. HPD entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with GDOT, NPS, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The MOA included such mitigation as a landscaping plan, archeological monitoring of construction, and speed-limit reduction on existing U.S. 27 inside the park. The project's outcome is an excellent exampleof the way in which federal preservation laws can assist in the protection of historic resources.
16

The Review Process at Work
During SFY 1994, HPD reviewed 1,185 projects representing $1 billion in federal, state, local, and private funds; 225 of these affected historic properties. Through the review and compliance process 848 archeological sites, historic buildings, districts, and structures were identified and evaluated. Of these, 504 were considered eligible for listing in the National Register.
The public continues active involvement in many projects, helping to ensure that federal agencies not only consider historic and archeological resources in their planning, but also minimize or avoid adverse effects. Projects include the proposed Big Haynes Creek Water Supply Reservoir, Rockdale County; proposed replacement ofthe Archibald Butt Memorial Bridge, Augusta; proposed Five Points Pedestrian Plua, Atlanta; and the proposed Federal Courthouse Annex, Savannah.
To further assist agencies in meeting requirements of federal preservation laws, HPD participated in training workshops for the Savannah District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority.
Transportation Enhancement Activity
HPD plays an integral part in the Transportation Enhancements program. SHPO Elizabeth Lyon served as chair of the Transportation Enhancements Advisory Panel, which advises GDOT on policies, criteria, and project selection. Staff serve on the panel and assist with application review. Through an agreement with GDOT and the Federal Highway Administration, HPD provides Section 106 review and technical assistance for Transportation Enhancement Activity (TEA) projects. Spon. sors include government entities and non-profits. HPD advises applicants on identification and treatment of cultural resources and reviews architectural plans and archeological reports to ensure regulation compliance. HPD participated in site visits and TEA workshops that encouraged applications and informed participants of funding availability and eligibility criteria. To date, 118 projects representing nine often enhancement categories have been approved for funding. Approximately $64 million have been allocated through FFY 1996. Currently, 125
applications are competing for approximately $6 million to be
allocated for FFY 1997. Response has been outstanding; dozens ofhistoric properties and districts are being rehabilitated or enhanced using TEA funds. It is hoped that program success will lead to its continuation beyond the scheduled FFY 1997 termination.

Rehabilitation
Technical
Assistance
1he unique character and irreplaceable features of historic buildings should be treated with respect. Irreversible design changes should be avoided or have minimal impacton historicfabric andbuilding materials. Decisions made in a rehabilitation project should be informed and sensitive to the building's history. A considerable amount of information is available to guide individuals rehabilitating historic properties. All preservationists should be familiar with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabuitation, a set of com-
e
mon sense guidelines applicable to all types ofhistoric structures. 1he National Park Service's Preservation Briefs series provides detailed information on issues such as roof and window repair, masonry cleaning, plaster repair, and energy conservation.

The Washington County Courthouse in Sandersville
CASE STUDY: Georgia Downtown Design Team
Initiated in 1987, the Downtown Design Team (DDT) is a joint project of IIPD and the Georgia Association/Atlanta Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AJA). The DDT consists of architects, landscape architects, and preservationists who volunteer time and expertise to assist citizens interested in improving the appearance oftheir communities and in revitalizing their historic downtown commercial districts.
A DDT visit begins with an evening workshop, open to the public. Presentations may include building rehabilitation, streetscape issues, storefront merchandising; tax incentives or the National Register. The next day, Team members visit downtown and examine specific buildings. They meet with property owners, offering technical assistance and design guidance. The Team prepares a report, incorporating suggestions on rehabilitation and streetscape issues. A follow-up visit is made to present report findings.
Cities selected for a DDT possess two major ingredients: a historic commercial district and strong local sponsors concerned with downtown and the community. Cities chosen for SFY 1994, Marshallville and Sandersville, met both criteria.
The DDT met in Marshallville on November 5-6, 1993. Listed in the National Register, the Marshallville Commercial District is a two-block collection oflate 19th-century buildings. Its development is a direct result of the railroad's influence and
18

the area's involvement with agriculture. Landscaping is a strong component of Marshallville's identity as seen in city gateways, enhanced by plantings of crepe myrtles and camellias. Community support for the DDT was strong, involving the City, the Historical Society, and the Historic Preservation Commission. The Preservation Planner for the Middle Flint RDC served as support staff. The final report contained recommendations for ten buildings, city gateways, and streetscape improvements.
The Sandersville DDT was held on April 15-16, 1994. The National Register-listed county courthouse is the downtown focal point. The courthouse square, surrounded by commercial buildings and local landmarks, such as the Old County Jail, forms a distinctive community image. Support for the DDT was shown through sponsorship by the City, the Washington County Board of Commissioners, and the Washington County/ Sandersville Chamber of Commerce. The Preservation Planner for the Central Savannah River Area RDC provided staff support. In its report, the Team addressed building rehabilitation, ADA compliance, traffic flow around the square, and landscape considerations.
The DDT promotes awareness of community landmarks and encourages preservation of Georgia's historic downtowns. Cities visited by the DDT include Newnan, Rome, Waycross, Brunswick, Millen, Cordele, Quitman, and Louisville.

HPD architectural staff provide assistance to communities, organizations, and individuals across the state who are concerned about protecting and using their historic resources. o/special interest is the recent Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which directly impacts places ofpublic accommodation, commercial facilities, and state and local governments. HPD provides guidance on this and other rehabilitation issues by distributing technical information, participating in project consultations, maldng presentations, and undenaldng site visits.

GRANTS
1he Hisoric Preservation Fund (HPF)Program is appropriated annually from Congress to the National Park Service (NPS) and then apportio11ed from NPS to the states. HPD reserves 10percent of each year's appropriation for Certified Local Governments; the remainder is awarded to other local governments, private and public groups, and organizations. 1he60/ 40 matching grants enable cities, towns, and rural areas to undertake projects that preserve historic properties.
Projects completed or awarded during SFY 19')4. represent a diversity of activities, ranging from National Register nominations and surveys to design guidelines and predevelopment plans to a heritage education video.
For the second year in a row, development grant money to rehabilitate NationalRegisterproperties was available, but only to CLGs.
During SFY 1994, the Georgia Ge11eral Assembly appropriated $135,()(X)for the new Heritage 2()(X)grantprogramfor downtown and neighborhood revitalization. 1he program went into effect July 1, 19')4..

Chieftains Museum in Rome
CASE STUDY: Chieftains Museum, Rome
The Chieftains Museum is the historic home of Cherokee Indian leader Major Ridge and today serves as the home of Rome's regional history museum.
Major Ridge occupied this home in the early 1800s and was instrumental in the formation of the Cherokee nation. Fighting alongside Andrew Jackson against the Creek Indians in the War of 1812, he earned the title of Major, which he adopted as his first name.
From a frontier log cabin to a Cherokee planter's house, . to the residence of a successful businessman at the center of a
mill village and, finally, as a museum, Chieftains, in its history and architecture, mirrors the history of northwest Georgia and the Cherokee natfon.
The Chieftains Museum applied for and received a 1993 HPF Survey and Planning grant in the amount of $2,000. This grant was used to produce a videotape on the history of Chieftains and classroom materials for grades one through twelve. With funding provided from other sources, complementary exhibit panels, two traveling trunk exhibits, and a "handson" project were designed as well.

Archeology

History can be found both above and below fhe ground. Almost 18,000 archeological sites in Georgiahave been identified. Thousands more remain buried, awaiting discovery and ready to reveal i,iformation available nowhere else. A.rcheological sites include simple rock piles, concentrations of broken pottery, prehistoric villages, landscape features, battle.fields, or submerged shipwrecks. Many archeological sites are found in conjunction with historic buildings and districts. A.rcheological sites date from the earliestperiods of human occupation in Georgia 13,000 years ago to contemporary times.

CASE STUDY: Mountain Park, Towns County
The Brasstown Valley Resort Park project (Mountain Park) was initiated in 1988 when the State of Georgia purchased 503 acres ofland along Brasstown Creek in Towns County. The project is a public-private partnership between the State, which is funding project construction, and the Stormont Trice Company, which is designing and building the resort and will operate it upon completion. From its inception, the project has been designed as an economic stimulus for this area of Georgia where jobs are needed. Included in the plans for the park are a 102-room Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Resort Hotel, eight cottages, an 18-hole golf course, trails, and tennis courts.
DNR has been responsible for addressing important archeological sites at the Mountain Park project. Through a series of investigations, a number of archeological sites were identified, some of which had been disturbed or destroyed by past farming, flooding, and erosion. Some sites, however, showed a potential for containing information about people who had lived and died in the Brasstown Valley hundreds, even thousands, of years ago.
The proposed development was assessed for its impact on these important archeological sites, and it was determined that the project, indeed, might endanger some of them. For those
22

sites which might be impacted, DNR initiated a mitigative phase of archeological investivation. It was during this phase in the summer of 1993 that a human burial, probably an American Indian, was detected in the area ofthe proposed golf course. All work in the vicinity ofthe burial pit was halted, and the area was secured.
In response to the discovery, DNR consulted with descendants of American Indians who may have lived in Brasstown Valley, including the newly formed Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns, the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma, and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina. The Cherokee Nation deferred to the Eastern Band of Cherokee. In order to fully inform all these consulting parties, Indian Council members and two Eastern Band representatives were taken to the park to view the archeology. This consultation resulted in a request from the consulting parties that DNR not disturb the burial or any other potential burial site.
To meet this request, DNR Commissioner Tanner issued a directive that, "All construction activities, support facilities, and cart paths constructed as a part of the Brasstown Valley Resort Golf Course will be routed to avoid all archeologically confirmed and/or suspected grave sites." The golf course was redesigned to comply with this policy, and the archeology was completed. Construction at the park continues, and a report of the archeological findings is expected to be published in 1995.
Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns
The Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns was created by the legislature in 1992 to advise state agencies and citizens on issues and problems affecting American Indians in Georgia. The Council first met in July 1993. Four members of the Council are American Indians representing tribes indigenous to Georgia; three members represent the scientific community, including an archeologist and anthropologist; and two members are at-large representatives. An annual report of the Council's first year is being prepared for the Governor.

Certified Local Governments

Preservation activity occurs most often and works best at the local level. Through the Certified Local Government (CLG) program, Georgia cities and counties have a special partnership with HPD andfederal preservationprograms. A CLGassumes leadership in its community's public preservation efforts by designating andprotecting properties through a historic preservation commission, maintaining a systemfor the survey and inventory of historic properties, reviewing local National Register designations, and developing preservation activities that address community concerns and priorities.

Preservation Services Coordinator Pratt Cassily leads the Monticello workslwp
CASE STUDY: Model Design Guidelines Project Monticello
Over the past year, the Office of Preservation Services (OPS) at the University of Georgia's School of Environmental Design worked with Nore Winter of Winter and Company in Boulder, Colorado, on a National Trust for Historic Preservation Critical Issues Fund Grant to create a model process for developing design guidelines. Although the project was undertaken to assist historic preservation commissions nationwide, Georgia commissions have been the first to benefit from it because of OPS's role.
This past spring, preservation graduate students from UGA applied the model process to the City of Monticello. The students worked with Jenny Tucker, chair of the Monticello Historic Preservation Commission, to assess the visual character of the Forsyth Street District, then helped develop standards
and guidelines to protect it. The project not only resulted in a
useful product for Monticello and the Commision, but it also provided a valuable, hands-on experience for preservation students which they can share with other communities.
Plans are underway to continue to implement the model
24

design guidelines process in other cities. This has already occurred in Brunswick in conjunction with the Main Street Program, and slated for this coming year are similar efforts in Thomasville, Athens, and Fort Valley. Furthermore, OPS plans to train regional preservation planners in this process, therefore aiding greater numbers of commissions across the state.
Office of Preservation Services Activities
In addition to serving CLG communities and other cities with or without preservation commissions, OPS participated in several other projects which have a direct bearing on the CLG program. OPS completed the second phase ofthe United States Preservation Commission Identification Project. Georgia responses to the questionnaire are being tallied to provide further information on the characteristics and needs of Georgia CLGs and non-CLGs. This project was done in association with the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions, which continues to fund a part-time assistant for OPS. OPS also provides direction and assistance to students in the Master of Historic Preservation Graduate Program through internships and job placement, thesis research, and student projects, such as that in Monticello. As many of these students remain in Georgia following the completion of their degrees, this experience and assistance serve a dual role in benefitting not only the students, but local communities.
New Certified Local Governments
The Certified Local Government program continues to
grow. During SFY 1994, Elberton and Heard County joined
the CLG program, bringing the total number in Georgia to 39.

Economic
and
Community Development

Historic preservation activity hasproducedvisible andmeasurable economic development throughout Georgia's communities. Preservation does not operate within its own isolated sphere, but touches many areas of the local economy and affects different sectors of community life, including finance, real estate, retailing, employment, tourism, and government. It suppons the community's past, present and future, creating an improvedquality oflife and asense ofcommunity cohesiveness.

Information
and
Education

1he Information and Education program works to heighten the genera/, public's awareness of historic preservation and to maintain regular communication with the preservation network. These goa/,s are achieved through the distribution ofa monthly newsletter; a variety of audio-visual, programs, publications and press releases; workshops and an annual, statewide conference; and spedal events. During the year, HPD responded to almost 6,()()() individual, requests for information on various program and topics.

CASE STUDY: Roswell's Living Places Workshop, Roswell
In celebration of Historic Preservation Week and Month 1994, HPD co-sponsored a one-day conference with the Roswell Historic Preservation Commission and the Friends of Bulloch on May 14. As an extension ofHPD 's Georgia's Living Places project, Roswell's Living Places featured presentations on historic architecture, landscapes and cemeteries, and tours of historic homes and gardens.
Over 50 people attended the workshop, which highlighted speakers Maurie Van Buren, Ellen Ehrenhard, Jim Cothran, Mary Carter Whitten, and HPD's Richard Cloues and Ken Thomas. Michael Hitt and Chuck Brown, authors of the Civil
War-era story Charged with Treason, and Geraldine A. Laufer, author ofthe nationally acclaimed Tussie-Mussies, were on hand
to sign copies of their books. Demonstrations and samples of antebellum cooking also were offered during the workshop.

Statewide Preservation Conference Americus
Through the annual statewide preservation conference, cosponsored with the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, HPD is able to offer information and education to a large group of preservation constituents. Close to 200 people attended the 1994 conference in Americus where they heard many inspiring
ideas for Improving Community Life with Historic Preservation.
Opening plenary session speaker Mac Holliday, chiefoperating officer of the Governor's Development Council, challenged preservationists to "think about preservation in a different way" and "to try new partnerships and coalitions" in order to make preservation work. Patty Gay, executive director of the Preservation Resource Center in New Orleans, complemented his speech with one that emphasized the need to attract people to the inner city viahistoric resources as a means ofsolving many social and economic problems. Tom Moriarity, manager with Ernst & Young's Real Estate Consulting Group, shared his thoughts on the importance of activism in preservation at both the local and national levels. Closing luncheon speaker, Carl Patton, president of Georgia State University in Atlanta, summed up the preceding conference sessions with a description of GSU's plans for revitalizing downtown Atlanta through the preservation of the city's historic buildings.

AfricanAmerican Heritage

1he mun.herofGeorgia citizens and communities interested in fhe state's African-American heritage continues to increase. The Georgia African-American Historic Preservation Committee works closely with HPD to encourage and strengthen local and statewide ejfons to preserve Georgia's historic propenies associated with African-American history and to encourage panicipation in state and local preservation activities among Georgia's African-American citizens.

The cottonhouse al the Rountree Farm in Brooks Counly
CASE STUDY: John Willis & Emma Jane Rountree Farm Brooks County
The Rountree farm is the typeofrural historic resource that HPD and the Georgia African-American Historic Preservation Committee believe is so important to recognize and preserve. The Rountree property received a Centennial Family Farm award, given to farms owned by members ofthe same family for at least 100 years.
The Rountree family farm began in 1891 when John Willis Rountree purchased 40 acres of farmland in Brooks County near Morven, Georgia. The following year, he brought his bride, Emma Jane Stroud, to live there in a small log cabin. They launched the family-life dream of many African-Americans emerging from slavery after the Civil War. Over the years, John Willis increased his farm to 84 acres and, in 1904, constructed a permanent family farmhouse. He and his wife lived their entire married life on this farm and raised 15 children there. He also played a role in the establishment of an area Rosenwald School, which was part of a philanthropic effort to help build schools in the rural South for African-American children.
By the 1930s, the farmstead included a farmhouse, a mule and horse barn, a cow barn, a com crib, a smokehouse, a tobacco barn, a mule-driven sugar cane grinding mill with a syrup cooking kiln, a hog pen, a chicken house, a cotton house, a garage with attached tool house, and two open water wells. Only about 40 of the 84 acres were under cultivation, and the remainder was in streams and timberland. The forest provided
30

turpentine for sale, wood for cooking, heating and tobacco barn fuel, as well as grazing areas for hogs, cows and goats. This was considered a satisfactory mixture of land use for a successful family farm operation during this era.
The Rountree Farm has always been productive, yielding com, tobacco, cotton, pecans, figs, pears, pork, beef, milk, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, peaches, grapes, peanuts, and all types of vegetables. Currently, the farming operation includes a ten-year lease on a 25-acre peach orchard and 37 acres of com, pecans, and tobacco.
At the encouragement ofHPD, the family has begun the process of listing the farm in the National Register of Historic Places.
African-American Historic Preservation Committee
The Minority Historic Preservation Committee began SFY 1994 with a series of four seminars on African-American culture, history, and the built environment. This concluded the
Buildings, People, Culture project, begun the previous year and
funded by the Georgia Humanities Council,. Over 200 people attended seminars in Atlanta, Savannah, Valdosta, and Cassville. The seminars identified a recurring theme of the importance of historical associations that are integral to a physical building and its place in history. This emphasis on historical association is a major contribution that African-Americans have made to the preservation movement. A slideshow on African-American historic properties in Georgia was shown at each seminar; copies of the slideshow are available for loan. Seminar
participants also received a copy of African-American Historic Places and Culture: A Preservation Resource Guide for Georgia; unfortunately, copies of the resource guide currently are
not available. During the remainder of the year, the Minority Historic
Preservation Committee continued its work of promoting preservation activities among African-Americans in Georgia. Committee/network meetings were held in Americus and Augusta. At the Americus meeting it was agreed to change the committee's name to the Georgia African-American Historic Preservation Committee and Network, in order to better reflect the group's emphasis.

Heritage Tourism
Since 1990, HPD and the Tourist Division of the Georgia Department ofIndustry, Trade and Tourism (GD/IT) have worked together to promote heritage tourism throughout the state. This ongoing initiative has brought increased attention to historic properties, while encouraging tourist activity in Georgia's communities.

The Link While House in Wann Springs, a state historic sile in Meriwether County, is one ofthe many historic sites along the
Chattahoochee-Flint Heritage Highway.
CASE STUDY: The Chattahoochee-Flint Heritage Highway
HPD provided funding to the Chattahoochee-Flint Regional Development Center (RDC) for the initial phase of this ambitious project, which was to develop and publish a plan for the Chattahoochee-Flint Heritage Highway.
The RDC officially launched the project in January 1993 by organizing a steering committee of local preservationists, chambers of commerce, and interested citizens to adopt the project as their own. The steering committee's active role in the planning process has been critical in pulling together the vision of the heritage highway.
As described in the recently published ChattahoocheeFlint Heritage Highway: A Shift in Imagination, the highway is
a 56-mile-long intermodal transportation corridor. This scenic highway passes through nine communities in the counties of Coweta, Meriwether, and Troup, unified by over 20 historic and cultural sites and a stunning agricultural landscape of rolling hills and pastures.
The goals of the Chattahoochee-Flint Heritage Highway are to promote heritage tourism; to preserve and protect significant historic resources and landscapes along the corridor; and to enhance the quality of life in the region. Guiding this complex development is a vision of doing more than simply putting up signs and promoting the route to tourists. Economic development through heritage tourism is the project's biggest selling point for many citizens and local officials.
The initial ~6 miles of the Chattahoochee-Flint Heritage Highway establishes the foundation for extending the corridor to additional communities, many of which have expressed interest and enthusiasm at the prospect of bringing the route to their area through phased expansion.

Students working at Augusta's Springfield Communily archeological dig
CASE STUDY: Georgia Archeology Awareness Week
To promote public awareness of Georgia's archeological heritage, the Society for Georgia Archaeology, HPD, and others co-sponsored the first annual Georgia Archeology Awareness Week in May, in conjunction with Preservation Week and Month.
The focus of Georgia Archeology Awareness Week was a poster featuring a Mississippian Period Indian village (A.D. 1200-1450) at the Rucker's Bottom archeological site on the Savannah River. This site was archeologically investigated during the Russell Dam projects in the 1980s. The poster was one component of a package containing a statewide calendar of events, a list of resources and speakers, and a teacher's guide. These materials were distributed to teachers, regional libraries, and state/federal historic sites and parks superintendents throughout Georgia. Feedback from teachers who used the materials in the classroom was positive.
The week's activities culminated with the statewide meeting ofthe Society for Georgia Archaeology in Columbus, hosted by Ft. Benning, Southern Research, Inc., and the Columbus Museum. The two-day meeting included a banquet/lecture and a tour of archeological sites at Fort Benning and Stewart County in Georgia and Russell County in Alabama.

Heritage
Education
Because children are the future decision-makers and leaders in our communities, HPD believes that it is importantfor educators and preservationists to join together to instill the preservation ethic at an early age.
During SFY 1994 HPD developed, for use in the classroom, a coloiful poster on architectural elements and one on the homes of famous Georgians.
HPD encourages grant project applications having a heritage educationfocus. HPD-funded projects completedduring SFY1994 include the development of classroom materials on th_e role of Albany's black churches during the Civil Rights movement and a videotape and complementary classroom materials on Georgia's Native American heritage.
HPD also continues to assist the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in its development ofa statewide K-12 education program and actively works with university preservation and related programs.
