What’s Happening Around Town?19Th Annual Rising Star Awards
The nineteenth annual Arthur C. Greene Rising Star Awards will cele-brate brilliant young artists from pri-vate and public high schools through-out Charlottesville and Albemarle County on Friday, October 2, starting at 5:30 p.m. at CitySpace (100 5th Street NE) on the Downtown Mall. Everyone is invited to honor these young peo-ple’s outstanding achievements, and the evening will feature performances by a number of the participants.
“Rising Stars is one of the signature programs of Piedmont Council for the Arts,” said
Executive Director Gram Slaton. “There is no program like it any-where else in central Virginia. These high school seniors and a few juniors represent some of the most honored students in the Commonwealth, and
many of them have participated in Governor’s School; professional mu-sical, dance, or acting companies; or even broadcast television. Our kids are unlike any other, and it’s a privilege to be able to offer them this evening of celebration.”
Nineteen young artists are select-ed by teachers in their schools for the nominations, augmented by four nom-inees from arts organizations with a commitment to education.
The 2015 honorees include, in alphabetical order by school:•FromAlbemarleHighSchool:Kathy
DeLoria,EmmetHaden,andPingyiZhu.

Awards are named after the much be-loved professor of drama from the University of Virginia and former PCA board member who devoted a large part of his life to encouraging the tal-ents of young people.
Since 1979, Piedmont Council for the Arts has served as the designated arts agency for Charlottesville and Al-bemarle County. Piedmont Council for the Arts catalyzes collaboration among artists, arts organizations, and gov-ernment entities to stimulate creative expression, promote cultural tourism, and advance the effective management and celebration of Central Virginia’s richly diverse cultural heritage.

W hat makes a home his-toric? Is it the age of the structure, the year it was built? Is it an historically significant architectural
style, along with excellent craftsman-ship that exemplifies and clarifies that style? Is it that head-line-making history “was made here?” History is whatever we choose to value, but however we define it, we’re blessed with a lot of it in central Virginia. We have eighteenth century architecture; we have exquisite workmanship; we have stories we know and stories we can only guess at, and do.
Consider Findowrie in the hunt country northeast of Keswick, for ex-ample, and feel the lure of an old and well-preserved home. Built around 1778 in one account, but as early as 1733 in another, the four-bedroom, 1,734 square foot house is for certain the earliest extant house in Albemar-le County. Four guest homes, a stable complex and a cattle barn have been added to its 150 private acres with their open pastures, hardwood trees, and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The house itself boasts many interest-ing architectural features including a chimney pent with shelves between the chimneys.
Or take Tipton House in Scotts-ville, a two-story, brick house constructed over a raised cel-lar, with a paired-column portico, five fireplaces, heart pine floors, and a beamed ceiling in family room. Built circa 1842 by John T. Blair, a Confed-erate Sergeant and later 1st Lieutenant, it’s been renovated in period style, the main floor painted in col-ors determined to be original through mi-croscopic lab analysis.
Esmont’s Old Woodville was built in 1796 by a prominent Virginia planter, John Coles II, as a gift to his son Walter. Politically, socially and militarily prominent, the Cole family eventually owned 11,000 acres in the area, and family members were friends and colleagues of Presidents Jefferson and Madison. The estate’s 176 acres of pasture have been continuously farmed since the house was built. A woodland path leads from its Georgian-style house to its five-acre lake.
Elsewhere in Esmont, Twenty Col-umns was built as a summerhouse for display at the Jamestown Exposition of 1907, then dismantled and relocated to its present location on a private lane
on an 18.5-acre site. The current owner has upgraded the house while careful-ly preserving original architectural de-tails like the wrap around porch.
CharacterHistoric homes typically possess “a
distinctive character in terms of archi-tecture, size, layout, and location,” says
REALTOR® Jim Bonner, who’s been selling them about as long as anyone around here. “The setting is as import-ant. When people developed this terri-tory, they picked the prettiest sites to build their homes, so you have fabu-lous old magnolia trees or big oaks and boxwoods that you simply can’t obtain anywhere else. Oftentimes these homes
are quite private, on large tracks of land, in lovely idyllic settings. That nat-ural setting would be the home place for a plantation. It would be self-suf-ficient. So there are water resources nearby and good agricultural land, and often a beautiful mountain view.”
“It’s a pretty house usually,” is how another longtime veteran, REALTOR® Justin Wiley puts it, the kind of house that makes you say, ‘they don’t make
them like that anymore.’ A lot of peo-ple are accustomed to living in an
older house and like the solidness and the good woodwork – the nice heart pine, high ceilings, and large windows. They like the fact that it has history and usually has established large trees around it, large boxwoods, etc. Buyers come from all over. Typically they’re a little older. They want a little bit more land, for privacy.”
An old Virginia home offers buyers, “an experience that’s different than a new construction house and devel-opment,” says REALTOR® Murdoch Matheson, who specializes in estate homes, equestrian and working farms, and large country properties through-
out Virginia. “Where they live and what they own is an expression of
themselves, and they are drawn to the soul, the character, the aesthetic, the narrative of the property. There is no story to a
property that was built in 1996 in a development like there is to
a property that was built in 1896 or 1886. Buyers who live in, say, Cal-ifornia, don’t have properties as old as what we have here. The attraction
of moving to Virginia is to own something that might be noteworthy.”
Renovation and Preservation
“There are a lot of folks here who are very sen-sitive and preservation oriented, and they want to preserve the sense of place that we have,” Bon-ner says. ‘They don’t want to see further develop-
ment. These houses are little treasures because they’re so unique and so spe-cial.’ To that end a number of public and private bodies designate older properties as historical, a recognition that enhances their appeal but allows only for renovations and enhance-ments in keeping with period style.
The National Register of Historic Places was established in 1966 and is managed by the National Park Service. It lists nearly 3,000 structures, sites, objects, and districts that embody the historical and cultural foundations of

ovations qualify owners for tax credits on both the state and federal level. It’s the owner’s choice. “If you are desig-nated on the National Historic Regis-try, it doesn’t necessarily prohibit you from making changes that are not in the same language as the history of the building,” Matheson says. “You can put a big modern addition on an his-toric building; but you might lose the designation.”
“Some people think the designation is not worth getting because it might be putting limitations on the prop-erty in perpetuity,” Matheson notes, “but you can look at the tax credits as off-setting the price of the architect or general contractor. By utilizing the tax credit program you might be able to offset some of your expenses in re-storing the property.” In fact property owners, Bonner says, “are usually the driving force behind designation.”
“The main thing is that they don’t want the facade or any of the original woodwork inside altered,” Wiley says
of the designating bodies. “If an owner wants to have items changed, it has to be presented to make sure it’s allowed.” But few do. “Most of the houses could be given that designation because of their historic value, but do not have it, and owners are allowed to do whatever they want to. There aren’t many who go through with the whole historic easement. I’ve only listed two of those in my career.”
So what’s involved in restoring an historic home? “Money and patience,” Matheson says—and experienced help. Owners can find a wealth of as-sistance from sources like the Albe-marle Historical Society in downtown Charlottesville, and from architectural historians at the University of Virgin-ia’s School of Architecture. “There is a lot of documentation,” Matheson says. “There are a lot of old pictures. There are a lot of people you can talk to who

“Of course with anything that’s old, you’ll hear a craftsman say we don’t know what we’re going to get into,” Matheson cautions, and while that un-certainty intimidates some owners, it excites others. “You can get very, very specific about how restoration work is done,” he says. “Sometimes it comes down to renewing the chinking on the brickwork, or whether certain things are left raw or painted.

the details. They don’t really know when to stop.”
Restoring an old home and updat-ing it with modern conveniences is me-ticulous work, but “we are very blessed in that we have a lot of period crafts-men in the community,” Bonner says. “Simply because we have a good collec-tion of period homes we have a good collection of period craftsmen that do fine work.”
It takes a knowledgeable craftsman to know how to renovate and preserve an official designation, agrees Bill Nor-ton, founder of Rockpile Construction.

Adding a modern kitchen to an histor-ic house might be fine, but “typically they won’t let you fool much with the exterior of the building. A lot of the de-sign I like to leave to the professionals. There are a lot of really good architects around who have experience designing for historic renovations.”
But it’s up to Norton to figure out how to work new brick into old brick, for example, or how to cut new trim to match the antique stuff. “The old mortar is typically faded because it’s so old. One of the challenges is trying to match the mortar so that you can’t really tell when a wall has been fixed, or worked on, or when an opening has been changed. The other thing is, the trim back then had different profiles. You have to take some of that trim to a custom millwork shop. It can cost as much as $250-$300 just to make a knife that matches that profile.”
Pride and ResponsibilityWhile renovation isn’t easy or sim-
ple, Matheson says, its challenges just add to the satisfaction of owning an old home. “People with historic homes love to point out all the little details and things that they’ve worked on, be-cause as they were learning about the house, they were consuming its story and thinking about its history. It was
fun, so they’ll be very keen to show you, ‘we did this, and we chose not to patch the concrete or the pillars on the house because if you see these divots here they’re from musket balls that were shot at the house during the Civil War’ . . . those kinds of details.”
Renovating an old home “is always a little more expensive, because you’re trying to save what’s there,” Wiley says. And the history itself doesn’t come cheap – the price tag is typically a lit-tle out of the ordinary for a fixer-up-per. But there is a feeling of wonder that comes of inhabiting a home that has stood since the Revolutionary War, and has seen so many generations of human life. That feeling is rarer still.
An old property is “a connection to the past,” Matheson believes, and he recalls a home inspector who likened a house to a human body: “It evolves over its lifetime, and if it’s cared for it keeps on going strong. Country properties and farms and houses live much, much longer than we do. It’s our duty as owners of historic homes to be good stewards of that home, be-cause that home is older than us and it’s going to live way past us. Steward-ship is paramount. When you buy an historic home, you’re taking on that responsibility.” n

home’s floor is, in many ways, the fifth wall of any room. Many people know exactly what they want on that “wall.” Case in point:
Lorraine Krebs in Nelson County who had a few non-negotiable house-hunt-ing items. “I wanted hardwood floors,” she declares. “If there were stairs, I wanted hardwood steps. I wanted a hardwood entryway and real tile in the kitchen and bathroom.”
“There certainly is a trend toward hardwood floors,” confirms REAL-TOR® Sandra Collins, an Associate Broker with Roy Wheeler Realty Com-pany who also says that, just like Krebs, many home buyers are very definite in what they want.
“Trends show up early in model homes,” Collins observes. “Right now flooring tends to be wide-plank, dark or grey, often manufactured flooring. You also see faux beat-up hardwood floors.”
She’s very enthusiastic about today’s floors. “They’re doing amazing things,” she points out. “We see luxury vinyl in some homes and you would honestly have to get down and touch it to see if you are dealing with ceramic tile or hardwood. It’s just an incredible look.”
Indeed, there is a remarkable variety of flooring available from the solid hard-woods of Colonial times to high-tech laminates, bamboo, and ceramic tile. Each has pros and cons and choices also depend on where in a home the floor
will be. If you are replacing an existing floor, it can make a significant cost dif-ference if the new choice can be “float-ed.” Floating means the new flooring can be installed without removing the old flooring and usually without need-ed glue or fasteners.
With the caveat that each flooring has a fairly wide range of prices, here is a quick primer on options. The dollar fig-ure—from the World Floor Covering As-sociation—is the lowest estimated cost per square foot installed. For the high-est quality in each category the price can easily be several times as much.
VINYL is so tough that some manu-facturers offer warranties of 15 or more years. Easy to clean, although subject to gouging and scratching, it can mimic stone or wood perfectly from a distance though not so much up close. It can often be installed over existing vinyl or linoleum, but once installed it’s difficult to remove. It’s available in tiles or planks that can be installed by experienced DIY-ers, but it is crucial to have a well-pre-pared base with no bumps. It also comes in rolls and can start as low as $1.
CARPET begins at $2 and comes in many materials, patterns, colors, and textures. It provides resilient footing and warmth. “Carpets in bedrooms are common even in homes with tile or hardwood elsewhere,” says REAL-TOR® Collins, “although I find mil-lennium buyers are less inclined to carpets because of fear of allergens for their kids.”
STAINED CONCRETE is very dura-ble and starts around $2 for staining and sealing a new (easier) or existing concrete floor. Polished finishes come in a nearly endless variety of colors and shadings.
LAMINATE begins at around $3. It’s tough, comes in many styles and col-ors, even mimicking stone or wood. It can be dented fairly easily, however, and once the top layer is worn through, it needs to be replaced, so it’s not a good choice in heavy-traffic areas. Like vinyl, it comes in planks as well as rolls, and can often be floated.
LINOLEUM starts around $4, is con-sidered “green” since it’s made from tree bark and linseed oil, and doesn’t scratch or dent easily, On the other hand, vinyl often costs a bit less, yet is more durable and easier to install.
CORK begins about $4. It’s dura-ble, yet offers a bit of a cushion and warmth for feet in winter. It’s easier to install than other floorings and comes in panels, planks, or squares that often snap together without adhesive. It can be floated. Cork is sustainable, but it’s more sensitive to sunlight than oth-er materials and is also vulnerable to denting.
ENGINEERED WOOD and BAM-BOO both start around $4 and can offer the same beauty as solid-wood floors. They can sometimes be floated and some brands are snap-together. It can dent. Bamboo is sustainable and can be manufactured to mimic expen-sive hardwoods such as reclaimed ma-ple or oak.
CERAMIC or PORCELAIN TILE starts around $4 for products that can be floated and around $8 for regular tile. It comes in nearly endless choices of shapes, colors, and prices from the “chicken-wire” tile popular in ice cream parlors of yore to the large squares in-creasingly popular today. “Some por-celain or ceramic tile looks just like wood,” REALTOR® Collins says. “It’s really amazing.” If tile cracks, however, it can be expensive to restore.
HARDWOOD in solid form starts around $6 and wide planks are in-creasingly popular. More difficult to install than other materials, it’s subject to dents and also to discoloring from sunlight. However it can be refinished repeatedly—even with a different stain—and is a classic choice. These days it’s used in kitchens and even in entryways.
STONE flooring starts around $8. It is definitely a “statement” flooring, classically handsome and highly dura-ble, although repairs can be difficult and expensive. n
Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Al-bemarle County near Charlottesville, with hardwood, tile, vinyl, and carpeted floors.

(StatePoint) Adding the right design elements to your home can complete what its architecture hopes to accom-plish. But knowing just what to incor-porate to complement — rather than detract — from the style of your home can present a challenge.
For example, those who’ve em-braced the recent resurgence of bun-galows, Arts and Crafts-, Mission- and Prairie-style homes will want to ensure that they maintain the simplicity and warmth of their building’s construc-tion when making upgrades.
Luckily, many manufacturers offer home products to match a wide variety of styles. If you have such a home design and are looking to make improvements, here are some ideas to think about:
MaterialsMaintain the rustic feel of your
home without sacrificing modern per-formance by seeking out manmade products that mimic nature. Energy-ef-ficient fiberglass entry doors have the look of real oak, while polymer shake roofing — which looks like real wood but is made of high-performance ma-terials — will resist deterioration, fire spread and fading from the sun.
Get the look of wooden trim, shut-ters, louvers and balustrade systems with easy-care polyurethane products that require minimal upkeep, while resisting insects, decay and moisture. Brands like Fypon offer exterior ac-cents, as well as textured millwork for the interior, such as easily-stained crown mouldings and baseboards.
StyleGive a nod to your low-pitched roof
and open eaves with perfect exterior accompaniments. After all, these are some of the first elements that vis-itors see. Consider fiberglass entry doors from Therma-Tru Corp, which have embraced different architectural trends in its current offerings.
Designer glass accents in doorlites and sidelites provide contrast and warmth, enhancing the entryways of
Craftsman-, Prairie-, Bungalow- and Arts and Crafts-style homes.
Likewise, consider adding silk-screened Mission and Prairie style win-dows, such as those from the Hy-Lite Home Designer Collection. They have the right architectural look and feel, yet still allow for light to filter through. Created from tempered privacy glass, they can match your home’s architec-tural style while offering privacy.
ColorRelaxed and refined, Craftsman style
homes offer a variety of opportunities to welcome color. While simplicity is the hallmark of this design style, that doesn’t mean the colors have to be sim-ple. Consider bright colors with con-trasting white trim to add personality.
The roof offers a welcoming palette for starting “top down” color selec-tions for the home. "Arts and Crafts style homes, as well as Bungalows, look great with the texture and color of a shake roof," says Kate Smith, chief col-or maven with Sensational Color.
Smith recommends a color palette that mimics nature, such as cedar, au-tumn or weathered gray hues from Da-Vinci Roofscapes, a brand that offers durable polymer roof products with the natural appearance of wood shake.
When it comes to home upgrades, the choices you make should not hap-pen arbitrarily. Look for product offer-ings that will unite your home's design style and appeal. nGreat Design Tips
