Spring is upon us here in Middle Georgia. As many of you know, most of my work is spent working outdoors so this time of year is always my favorite. This spring is bittersweet, though, since this issue of the newsletter marks my last as your Chair of the Board and President of Historic Macon Foundation. our organization has had another fruitful fiscal year and bright days are ahead.

Some of my highlights over the past year include the inaugural Design, Wine and Dine event, which we hosted in early March. organizing and executing a multi-day event is never easy, but thanks to the leadership and hard work of our staff and volunteers, the event was a raging success. Plans are already in the works for next year.

At the Cottage, we hosted national experts to help us evaluate the efficiency and relevancy of our headquarters. For many of us, the Cottage represents the legacy of our 50 years serving the community and we are proud that the building will continue furthering our mission.

one of our highest profile advocacy issues this year was the tragic loss of Tremont Temple Baptist Church. We presented a viable alternative to demolition, but in the end the project was too far along for our solution to be fairly considered. Going forward we hope to be more proactive and work towards a watch list that our staff and volunteers will use to guide our advocacy efforts.

Finally, I would like to end on a high note. As many of you know, in December josh rogers announced his resignation at HMF and new appointment at NewTown Macon. We were thrilled for josh and the opportunity, but we knew that HMF would need a leader to continue and accelerate our momentum. on March 10, ethiel Garlington started as our executive Director. For those of you who have met ethiel, I know you’ll agree that the Search Committee should be commended. We are overjoyed that ethiel and his wife, Michelle, have moved back to Georgia.

Please make plans to attend HMF’s Annual Preservation Awards and Meeting on Tuesday, May 6. our community has plenty of preservation successes to celebrate this year, but we cannot continue that success without your support. our new slate of officers and board members is a dynamic group of leaders. HMF has a bright future ahead and I was honored to serve as your President this year.

letter from the executive directoreTHIeL GArLINGToN

Dear Friend of Preservation,

I am writing to introduce myself, and to thank you for your commitment and support as a member of Historic Macon Foundation (HMF). My most recent background has been in preservation field services in east Tennessee, serving for Knox Heritage and the east Tennessee Preservation Alliance. on March 10, I began my new post here and am honored to hold the position as your executive Director of HMF. Michelle and I are grateful for your Southern hospitality and thrilled that Macon is our new home.

We extend congratulations and wishes for great success for josh rogers as he takes on his new position as President and Chief executive officer of NewTown Macon. josh helped lead HMF to some of the most successful years in our history and we are grateful that he and Meaghan are staying in Macon.

Part of my initial focus as executive Director will be to engage new community partnerships and to reach out to the Macon-Bibb community to understand how we can better serve our members and non-members. From there we would like to continue building a wider base through dynamic, relevant, and mission-based programming and special events, such as the exciting variety of events scheduled for National Preservation Month in May (see page 06).

We are grateful to be considered one of the nation’s leading preservation non-profit organizations, thanks in large part, to the tenacity of our staff and volunteers. In the coming months we plan to build on that foundation and strive to be more proactive in order to stay ahead of potential advocacy issues. After all, at HMF we pride ourselves on being creative problem solvers.

one of the reasons Michelle and I made the leap to move to Macon is timing. I strongly believe that our community is on the cusp of greatness. Particularly, Downtown Macon has all the signs of a full-blown renaissance. As anyone who travels to other towns will attest, downtowns are proving to be the economic engines they have been historically. With our 551 Cherry Street Loft project about to kick off, we are thrilled to play a role in providing residential opportunities in the downtown area.

We can’t do this work without you. HMF will continue to grow and be a positive change-agent as long as we have your support and generosity. None of our work is possible without each of you.

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of our work in Macon, and we are excited to officially launch our new logo, which you’ll see prominently featured in the newsletter.

To become a member, or renew your existing membership online, please visit our website: historicmacon.org. As a 501(c) 3 Corporation, a significant portion of a HMF membership fee is considered tax deductible, and donations are fully tax-deductible.

The Cottage has been buzzing with activity during the Cherry Blossom Festival and will host our Preservation Month Workshops in May.

I look forward to seeing you at the 2014 Preservation Awards and Annual Meeting on Tuesday, May 6, at the Douglass Theatre.

HMF has a bright future ahead and exciting possibilities on the horizon!

With humble regards,

ethiel Garlingtonexecutive Director

881 oraNGe terrace

881 orange Terrace is already under construction with Cliffard Whitby’s team of Whitby, Inc. and now under contract. The house will be revitalized both inside and out. When completed the home will be a three bedroom and two bathroom home. The rehabilitation on this home will also include a small, rear addition, creating the third bedroom, second bathroom and rear deck.

The property is a diamond in the rough with all its original detail in place. The existing asphalt siding has been removed, exposing the original lapped boards, which are in good condition. Any damaged areas on the exterior will be repaired and given a fresh coat of paint. The interior, which boasts high ceilings, heart pine floors and four fireplaces, will be restored. A new kitchen will be installed and the living room and two existing bedrooms refinished. The buyers are thrilled with the home and cannot wait to move.

1282 calhouN street

1282 Calhoun St. is currently under construction by Cliffard Whitby’s team of Whitby, Inc. The building, once a single family home, had been converted into two small apartments. Half of the home fell into extreme disrepair so the existing, non-historic add-on needed to be removed. The completed rehabilitation will return the home into a single family home and a new rear addition will create some much needed space. The home will retain its charm and character with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The front porch will be repaired, the roof replaced, and the lapped siding will be repaired and repainted. The interior was in poor shape due to water damage, but the wood floors and walls are salvageable so they will be refinished and repaired. The rear rooms on the house had begun to collapse, so they will be rebuilt and some additional space added to create

Construction is almost finished at the jordan Apartments building and the four units will be ready for Mercer students to lease this fall. The four units will each have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and reconfigured floor plans. Aside from interior alterations, the building received a new roof, window restoration and repointed brick.

Brothers, robert G. jordan and james W. jordan, of the jordan realty Company originally built the jordan Apartments on College Street at Tattnall Square in 1920. Last minute negotiations spared this building from demolition, and Historic Macon is excited to once again see this building come back to life. russell Poss with r.C. Poss Construction and his team have been hard at work on this project that rusty referred to as, “quite a challenge.” We have secured a deal to transfer $250,000 in federal and state tax credits to a local resident

in exchange for a $165,000 investment in the projects.

remaining financing is being provided by the Griffith Family revolving Fund, Heritage Bank of the South, and donations from Mr. Carlton and Mrs. rosemary Dumas, Mr. Virgil e. Cooper

and Dr. Maurice Solis and Ms. Lee johnson.

once the project is complete, we will have an open house event for our members to tour the building.

The Porter House has been moved onto Wesleyan College’s campus and is undergoing a large facelift. rain delayed the move for weeks, but with the land finally dry enough to carry the weight of the home, it found a new resting spot. Historic Macon is thrilled to see this significant piece of architecture saved by Wesleyan College and used for years to come. More details and pictures will be included in our upcoming newsletters and e-blasts.

Box citY summer camPjeNNA LAPACHINSKI

Thanks to a generous grant from the elam Alexander Trust, Historic Macon will once again host its annual summer camp for local children. The theme of this year’s camp is “Box City,” which will introduce campers to urban design and historic preservation through interactive activities.

The Box City curriculum was developed in 1969 by Ginny Graves, a Kansas City art educator, and her husband, architect Dean Graves. Their original curriculum has evolved over the past 45 years, but it still focuses on teaching the principles behind community planning and urban design. Historic Macon’s Box City Camp will build off those principles and give campers the opportunity to plan and build their own city out of recycled boxes and other materials. As a group, the campers will decide the “who, what, when and where” of their city and will work together to construct it. Campers

will need to decide on building scale, style, and organization, while using the urban planning and community development principles they are learning about at camp.

each day during the week the campers will have an additional activity that will teach information about urban planning and the built environment. Special guests will stop by and talk to the campers about the concepts they are being taught at camp. exploratory walks will be taken around downtown so that campers can see first-hand different building styles and uses. They will learn basics of preservation and the value of old buildings and how the new and old can work together to create an interesting and functional city.

Box City Summer Camp will be held at the historic Terminal Station, thanks to the generosity of Macon Transit

Authority. Camp will begin each day at 9:00 a.m. and will run until 3:00 p.m. Historic Macon will provide snacks for the campers, but they must bring their own sack-lunch and water. Two camp sessions will be held, june 23-27 and july 7-11. Both will be open to ages 8-12. The camp will be run by Historic Macon staff members, Nicole Kubas and jenna Lapachinski. Nicole has a Master of Architecture degree from Kansas State University and jenna has a Master of Science degree in Historic Preservation from the University of Vermont. each session will cost $150 per camper. Deadline for registration is May 31, 2014.

If you have any questions, please contact Nicole at nkubas@historicmacon.org or call Historic Macon at (478) 742-5084.

rose hill cemeterYjANIS HALey

In 2013, the Friends of rose Hill Committee was successful in advocating for rose Hill to be the recipient of $300,000 from the special-purpose local-option sales tax (SPLoST). With a portion of that money, the committee has overseen the restoration of the gatehouse roof and information kiosk, identified and helped contract for the reconstruction and repair of more than a dozen retaining walls, paid for the installation of fences and upgraded security systems, planted seven new trees in 2013 and nine new trees this winter, and created a new website with new search features and photos of each gravesite.

Besides the work using SPLoST money, Friends of rose Hill has committed their own funds to launch an exciting new project resurrecting the fallen obelisk that was atop the johnston monument

before it was destroyed by a tornado in 1954. There will be an official unveiling of the restored monument. Watch our website (www.historicmacon.org) and e- newsletter for the date and time.

In addition, rose hill rambles continue to be very popular. The next ramble will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 27th, at the main gate. jim Barfield will lead this spring’s rose Hill ramble. His talk will feature the grave of Macon’s famous architect, Neel reid. The ramble also will touch on the graves of the nine victims of Macon’s 1880s mass murder, and Confederate burial grounds. Learn about these fascinating Maconites while gently strolling through this historic park. jim will, as always, regale interested participants with tales of Macon’s past and will introduce them to some of the folks who made this community what it is today. rambles are free for Friends of

rose Hill, $5 for non-members and $3 for students. No advanced registration needed.

There will be a rose Hill Clean-up in advance on Saturday, April 26th, from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. Come with work gloves and any handy yard tools you might need. We will meet at the main gate.

If you are interested in getting involved in this committee, please email info@historicmacon.org and ask to be included on the rose Hill Committee.

To help honor Historic Macon’s fifty years of service to the community, a Fiftieth Anniversary Committee has enlisted Burt&Burt to update the HMF logo. The committee also plans to create programs and events this year to showcase Historic Macon’s legacy.

our objective was to create a mark that represented the forward-thinking mission and expansion of Historic Macon Foundation. The mark had to eliminate preconceived notions of HMF and allow new, current, long-standing and potential members to feel ownership in the mark.

our goal was to avoid imagery andtypography that would be identified with a specific architectural period or “address.” HMF has grown beyond the “mansions of College Street,” expanding into other neighborhoods, making an impact in urban development as well.

As for the imagery—the logo—we took our inspiration from a bird’s eye view of the city, using elements to represent our public parks (many of which are triangular parks), land plots and roads (especially those like Mulberry and Poplar with medians). We were able to subtly craft the letters HMF within a representational street plan of Macon.
