2013, VOL. 1NEWSLETTER

Letter from the PresidentDear Friends:

It’s hard to believe the time has come for me to proudly represent Knox Heritage as Board President. I’m honored to work with such an important organization at such a pivotal time in our existence. I’ve been involved with non-profits as long as I can remember, especially since I’ve lived in Knoxville. But to be honest, Knox Heritage hasn’t always been on my radar. As far back as I can remember, I’ve had a love of old buildings and the stories they tell, but I never thought about the impact losing them could have on a community until I met Kim Trent, Randall De Ford, Dorothy Stair, and so many other committed folks at Knox Heritage.

I moved to Knoxville in 1994, and my visits to downtown were limited. Granted, I was focused on a new job and learning my way around a new city, but the closest I got to downtown was Cumberland Avenue. Yes, I was much younger then, but it never occurred to me to plan a “night on

Many have wondered about the fate of what is commonly called the Walker-Sherrill House, a stately antebellum home on Kingston Pike just west of Cedar Bluff, across from Home Depot. Named for the families that have owned it over the last 165 years,

The Kennedy-Baker-Walker-Sherrill House is one of the few surviving examples of Federal architecture in Knox County. The Sherrill family sold the house and surrounding 104 acres to an out-of-state developer in 2007. As part of the rezoning to allow the surrounding land to be developed for retail, office, and residential uses, the developer agreed to protect the house with historic overlay (H-1) zoning and restore it for a new use. The

overlay zoning was put in place, but because of the downturn in the economy and other factors, the restoration has not yet happened. The house has deteriorated, left standing open to the elements and vagrants.

After working almost seven years on its preservation, Knox Heritage is proud to report the house finally has a bright future. The house, apart from the modern development going up around it, has been sold to a new owner, Bill Hodges, who is carefully planning a comprehensive and historically sensitive restoration, despite formidable obstacles and considerable expense. Bill is an experienced developer with sincere love of history and historic buildings. Many will know of his work at Franklin Square, with such businesses as The Chop House and Spa 9700, and the Harrison Keepe subdivision. Bill is pursuing the Walker-Sherrill restoration with his daughter, Katie Hodges. Their experience in commercial real estate development was crucial in finding a solution to this complicated project. The Walker-Sherrill House will be converted into office space.Knox Heritage’s 2013 Fragile Fifteen announcement will be made at the house on Wednesday, May 15, at 11:00 a.m. We hope you’ll join us at this announcement, where we can celebrate a new beginning for this property and demonstrate that preservation works, while calling attention to other endangered properties in Knox County.

We announced in our last newsletter the exciting news about Knox Heritage’s efforts to raise $3 million to accomplish three goals: (1) preserve Historic Westwood and provide a permanent home for Knox Heritage, (2) establish a preservation education center for the East Tennessee region, and (3) expand our endangered properties fund and create financial stability. The Aslan Foundation’s generous gift and inspiring challenge

have motivated the Knox Heritage board, staff , and capital campaign committee to be creative in the ways it raises funds and awareness for this worthwhile effort.

When the campaign is complete, Historic Westwood will be open to everyone i n t h e r e g i o n a s a p l a c e t o l e a r n about preservation. Of course, Historic W e s t w o o d w a s formerly a private residence, enjoyed by generations of the Armstrong-Lutz-Holloway-Matheny f a m i l y a n d t h e i r friends for more than 120 years. Homes contain memories of family gatherings and

events, holiday meals, weddings, childhood play dates, and time spent with relatives and friends. To commemorate some of these special memories and honor those who have a connection to Historic Westwood, several specific fundraising efforts are underway. Diana Samples, who grew up in the Georgian house next door to Historic Westwood and whose aunt Cecil Matheny grew up in Historic Westwood, and Diana’s life-long friend, Jeannine McKamey, who grew up in the neighborhood, had many memories of good times together at the house. Tragically, Jeannine McKamey passed away suddenly last year. Jeannine’s husband Doug wanted to honor the memory of his wife, so he and Diana recently hosted a brunch at Historic Westwood to raise funds to name the Morning Room, pictured here, after Jeannine. It was a lovely tribute to Jeannine, who undoubtedly would have been very active in the capital campaign.

There will be many other opportunities to honor or commemorate members of the Matheny family, who were such good stewards of Historic Westwood and others who were some of Knoxville’s most important preservationists. Knox Heritage will have more information to share in the coming months, and we look forward to engaging all of our supporters in this exciting campaign. If you have questions about the Jeannine McKamey Morning Room or other naming opportunities, please contact Gay Lyons, Capital Campaign Manager, at 865-384-5549 or at campaign@knoxheritage.org.

preservation around the region

This year marks the fifth year of the East Tennessee Preservation Alliance, and we have lots to be grateful for and plenty of work to keep us busy for the next five years.

As a new organization, we continue to grow. Our board of directors held its fourth annual strategic planning retreat this month. Our facilitator was grinning most of the morning because of the marked improvements over the past year that is most evident in our enthusiastic new board members.

E T P A a n n o u n c e d t h e fourth East Tennessee’s E n d a n g e r e d H e r i t a g e list on March 4. The list sets the priorities for the organization’s Advocacy Committee and includes three new additions, for a total of 17 significant places. Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, the former Tennessee Military Institute, and the Kelly-Stonecipher House, all pictured here, topped the list this year since they are the newcomers. Every day, we work behind the scenes to save these important places. We’re on Instagram, the photo-sharing app, so keep up with the endangered list at #etpaendangered.

We continue to be more engaged using real estate tools like purchase options, donated properties, and preservation easements to enable tangible results. As mentioned on page 7, we are working with the state legislature to allow local governments to negotiate sales of historic buildings. This has been widely successful in North Carolina where

a similar amendment was passed in 1979. Preservation North Carolina has purchased and resold more than 30 public properties, resulting in more than $50 million in historic rehabilitation investments. Across East Tennessee,

there are countless opportunities to save, reuse, and rehabilitate historic public properties.

Our Cemetery Task Force partnered with Senator Ken Yager and Representative Dennis Powers to draft a bill that would update state cemetery legislation. Over the next year, ETPA board members and volunteers will be seeking support and feedback from County Commissions across the region in hopes of introducing the bill in the next session.

This year is also shaping up to be a busy year for our Education Committee. The committee is scheduling Preservation Toolboxes, Open Houses, and planning

for the 2013 East Tennessee Preservation Conference on November 8 & 9 at Maryville College. Our Facebook page, Facebook.com/EastTNPreservation, is the best place to find out more about upcoming events and ask questions

about preservation across the region.

This summer, ETPA volunteers are hosting three Summer Suppers that are fundraisers and unique opportunities to see special historic places. We are fortunate to have volunteers on our host committees and property owners to open their buildings. Just to pique your interest, our suppers will be at Hampton Hall in Jefferson City, Wheatlands in Sevier County, and Crockett Tavern in Morristown. The menus are all set, and they all look scrumptious. KH and ETPA members will receive Summer Suppers booklets in the mail in mid-April, and tickets go on sale April 22!

ETPA works to preserve places and structures with historic or cultural significance in Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger, Hamblen, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, Monroe, Morgan, Roane, Scott, Sevier, and Union counties. It is governed by a board of directors and carries out its mission through a variety of programs and encourages community support through education and advocacy. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to the program by contacting Knox Heritage at 865-523-8008 and please become a member. If you would like be more involved with our committees, please contact Ethiel Garlington at egarlington@knoxheritage.org.

historic properties for saleKnox Heritage is always looking for ways to save more historic places. One of the best methods is to connect property sellers with potential buyers. Knox Heritage features historic properties throughout the East Tennessee region on its web site, and through this page we are helping these old buildings find new owners. High traffic on the site, coupled with features on our popular Facebook page and in our e-newsletter, means sellers can quickly and effectively reach a targeted audience. Below are a few featured buildings, but you can see more details and all of the current listings at knoxheritage.org/propertiesforsale.

May is Preservation

MonthCitizens in Knoxville and throughout East Tennessee will join thousands of people across the country in celebrating National Preservation Month this May. Since the National Trust for Historic Preservation created Preservation Week in 1971 to spotlight grassroots preservation efforts in America, it has grown into an annual month-long celebration observed by small towns and big cities, with events ranging from architectural and historic tours and award ceremonies to fundraising events, educational programs, and more. This year’s national theme is “See! Save! Celebrate!” Knox Heritage has several events planned during Preservation Month, including a Lost & Found educational lunch at The Square Room on May 9, a guided tour of downtown Knoxville on May 11, the Fragile Fifteen Announcement at the Walker-Sherrill House on May 15, and Preservation & Libations at Preservation Pub on May 29. Soon we’ll be announcing an opportunity to Perspire for Preservation, where volunteers can swing a hammer, push a broom, or apply some paint to a local historic building in need. See the calendar on page 3 for more details, and make plans to celebrate National Preservation Month with us.

the town” at Market Square, Gay Street, or Jackson Avenue. What was there to do? Was it safe at night? Why would people choose to live down there? Then, I saw the light.

It was in 2003 when my employer, HGTV, started a relationship with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Through that partnership, we provided $1 million, and much needed visibility, for some amazing historic properties across this great country. In 2005, HGTV’s Restore America was born, and two sad little houses on Washington Avenue got the attention they deserved—in more ways than one! The “re-birth” of the two Restore America homes in East Knoxville made it to the front page news locally, and to TV screens in more than 80 million homes nationally. It was a big moment for Knox Heritage and a defining time for me.

After my husband, Scott, and I got married, we chose to live in West Knoxville because we wanted land for our dogs to roam and for Scott to mow (he’s a little obsessed with his yard). But we also chose to re-purpose a 1950’s brick and concrete house on nearly four acres into the home of our dreams. We love it there, but we also love to make the trek downtown to Market Square, Gay Street, and Jackson Avenue. Oh, and Magpies on Central Street is a must to satisfy our sweet tooth! Our affection for all these places can, in part, be attributed to Knox Heritage.

Simply put, it’s all about saving place. And this beautiful, lively, active, and beloved place we call home is a shining example of the work Knox Heritage does day in and day out. And it’s because of YOU—our valued members and friends who allow us to continue doing what we do. Your passion, commitment and determination have helped propel this organization to one of the finest in Knoxville. As we prepare to move in (literally) to another phase of our organization’s existence, we are reminded of the support we have from our members and friends! We couldn’t and wouldn’t do it without you!

Yours in preservation,

Annette Lindstrom Brun

CALLING ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS: the sixth annual

art & architecture tour is june 14

Knox Heritage’s popular Art & Architecture Tour returns in 2013 for another entertaining and educational evening. Since 2008, the Art & Architecture Tour has featured a photography contest in which local photographers submit images of historic buildings l o c a t e d i n a p a r t i c u l a r neighborhood or defined area. Winning photographs are chosen by a jury panel of professional artists, art educators, architects, and gallery owners, and these images are the basis and primary focus of the tour route. The works are also framed and displayed in a gallery space, available for the general public to view and/or purchase following the tour. Colorful postcards featuring the winning photographs are printed for the tour attendees and available for sale afterwards.

This year’s featured area is the University of Tennessee. In addition to accepting photographs of historic buildings on the Knoxville campus, we will honor the legacy of one of Knoxville’s most prominent architects, Bruce McCarty, who passed away on January 5 at age 92. A champion of modern architecture, Mr. McCarty designed dozens of public and private buildings all over Knoxville, including many notable buildings on the UT campus. A pre-defined selection of McCarty-designed buildings is eligible for inclusion in this year’s contest.

On Friday, June 14, a reception and exhibition for the winning photographers and event attendees will be held at the McClung Museum on the UT Campus. Following the reception, a guided walking tour based on the winning photographs will be led around the campus by historian and author Jack Neely.

It has been said that “architecture is the art of the city.” Highlighting the talents of local artists, Knox Heritage’s Art & Architecture Tour focuses on the rich heritage found in our community’s historic buildings and aims to identify the contributions these structures can make to the future of our city. The event has become a highlight of the organization’s spring activities, using visual art to capture the irreplaceable beauty and illustrate the ongoing relevance of Knoxville’s historic structures.

The 2013 Art and Architecture tour is sponsored by McCarty Holsaple McCarty, Inc. Knox Heritage will accept entries to the photography contest until May 6, 2013. Tickets for the June 14 reception and tour will be available beginning April 29. For more information or to download the contest application, visit knoxheritage.org.

artSpace viSitS knoXvilleThrough the generous support of the Cornerstone Foundation, Knox Heritage is partnering with the City of Knoxville, the Arts & Culture Alliance, and Knox County to bring Artspace

to Knoxville, April 22–24. Artspace is a nonprofit real estate developer

specializing in creating, owning, and operating affordable spaces for artists and creative businesses. Artspace is the nation’s leading developer of arts facilities—live/work housing, artist studios, arts centers, commercial space for arts-friendly businesses, and other projects. The purpose of the Knoxville visit is to provide preliminary feedback about the feasibility of creating a live/work, multi-use, or other arts facility development. City and County leaders, representatives from across the arts community, local developers, and others will meet with Artspace representatives and tour prospective locations that could be appropriate for this type of development. A public meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 23, and all are invited to attend. More details will be announced soon on our web site and Facebook page.

State amendment may aid local preServationKnox Heritage and ETPA are working with Senator Becky Duncan Massey and Representatives Joe Armstrong and Steve McDaniel to introduce legislation (SB 74/HB 390) that would allow local governments to dispose of government-owned historic properties through negotiated sales with preservation non-profit organizations. Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero traveled to Nashville in early March to show her support for this bill. As reported in the Knoxville News Sentinel, Mayor Rogero said the bill would “[give the City] a little more control over the re-purposing or the reuse of certain historical properties.” Check the KH or ETPA Facebook page for updates and developments as the bill works its way through the process.

architectural Salvage programThe Architectural Salvage Program at Knox Heritage is going strong. The Salvage Room is currently located at the Carriage House, 1300 N. Broadway, and is open on Thursday afternoons from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. A special Saturday sale will be held on March 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Salvage Program exists to keep historic building materials out of the landfill and to support the overall mission of Knox Heritage. Primarily, it provides period-appropriate materials for historic building and home owners, but it also serves creative people wanting to breathe new life into old items. All salvaged materials are donated, and every donation is tax deductible. The Salvage Program has had exhibition space at a few home and garden shows this fall, and more people are learning about it, which means more items are being donated rather than being thrown

away! The salvage inventory is quickly outgrowing the 800sf space in the rear of the Carriage House. If you know of an inexpensive—or donated—space 2,000sf or larger, located downtown or in one of the center city neighborhoods, please tell us. Beth Meadows coordinates the Salvage Program and can be reached at salvage@knoxheritage.org.

hiStoric taX creditS—What are they?Knox Heritage frequently provides assistance to developers seeking historic rehabilitation tax credits. A 20% income tax credit is available for the rehabilitation of historic, income-producing (commercial) buildings that are determined by the Secretary of the Interior, through the National Park Service, to be “certified historic structures.” The State Historic Preservation Offices and the National Park Service review the rehabilitation work to ensure that it complies with the Secretary’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Knox Heritage staff assists developers in research, photography, and submission of the required documentation to apply for these tax credits. KH also serves as a liaison between developers and the Tennessee Historical Commission, which then sends recommendation of qualifying projects to the National Park Service. Several redevelopment projects underway in downtown Knoxville now are applying for these credits and are receiving technical assistance from Knox Heritage.

We love our volunteer internS!Knox Heritage and ETPA have a lively volunteer intern program. This semester, Kate Armstrong has been working with ETPA to update its website, www.etpaonline.org, and assisting with creating a Google map of all the antebellum buildings in Knox County. Kate is a master’s of architecture student at UT and is writing her thesis on the adaptive use of a mid-century modern school in Florida. Ashley Lenentine is another master’s of architecture student at UT, concentrating on conservation and stewardship, and she has been organizing hundreds of photos and working to improve our archived files for research. Bevin Brady and Julie Moore, both fifth-year architecture students at UT, cheerfully assist the staff in a myriad of tasks, such as filing, answering phones, running errands, assembling mailings, and taking photographs of properties. We’re so grateful for their help!

4321 Matching GiftsMany businesses match charitable contributions

made by their employees. Check with your

company’s human resources department to see if your donation can be increased through

gift matching.

Bequests/Planned GivingIn addition to cash, Knox Heritage accepts gifts of real estate, stocks,

bonds, and life insurance. Other plans such as specific or residuary

bequests, charitable lead trusts, and charitable remainder trusts may be

right for you. We can work with your financial advisor to facilitate these

and other giving methods.

Restricted DonationsIn addition to an annual

membership donation, give to our J. Allen Smith Endangered

Properties Fund, the Knox Heritage Endowment Fund, or the ETPA Non-Endowed

Fund. Learn more about how these resources are used at

knoxheritage.org.

Automatic Periodic Giving

Did you know your annual gift can be made

automatically once a month or once a quarter via a credit card, debit card,

or bank draft? No PayPal account required! Spread

out your gift and give more.
