HISTORY OF THE MANSION Located at the intersection of Bull Street and West Gordon Street for the past one hundred and thirty seven years is a grand property known as the Noble Hardee Mansion. The Noble Hardee Mansion was built on Monterey Square during 1860 and 1869 for the Hardee family. The mansion is 6,875 square feet and consists of a full garden level, three living floors and a square cupola. The mansion is Italianate in style and has been labeled an exceptional contributing structure in the Historic District of Savannah by the Historic Savannah Foundation. The Hardee Family was one of the most prominent families in Georgia in the early 19th century. By the age of twenty-five, Noble Hardee had already distinguished himself by becoming a member of the Georgia House of Representatives. Between 1831 and 1833, Hardee suffered several personal tragedies. By the age of thirty, he experienced the loss of his son, daughter and first wife. By 1835, he remarried to Ann Margaret Lewis. In the 1840 census, Hardee is listed to have a wife, three children and four servants. By 1850, he was well known in the commercial, banking, insurance, and real estate businesses. Noble A. Hardee purchased the property in 1854 for $2,000 to begin building his legacy. However by 1867, while on vacation in Richfield Springs, NY, Mr. Hardee died. His body was transported by the S.S. San Salvador to Savannah to be buried in Bonaventure Cemetery.

Mr. Hardee never saw his house completely built. Some reports say that the construction was aborted due to war and completed later on. One claim reports that in late1864, during the occupation of Sherman’s troops in Savannah, timbers were looted from the lot on which the house stands. Upon its completion in 1869, the house has gone through many phases. Throughout the mansion’s life, there has been nineteen owners, several tenants, and served many functions. What was once planned to be a single-family home, the building was completed as a double tenement home, and returned to its intended plan in the 1880s as a single family home. Several businesses and organizations have resided in the mansion as well. Today, Alexander Raskin owns the Noble Hardee Mansion. Mr. Raskin acquired the home in July of 1991 for $260,000. Shortly after acquiring the property, he “restored” the south piazza, which was enclosed in 1904. The home serves as Mr. Raskin’s business, an antique shop. In 2007, the mansion had an assessed value of $1,773,500, and the value has undoubtedly risen since then. However, the mansion today is in a state of neglect and in need of restoration.

PROJECT SUMMARY The adaptive reuse and the rehabilitation of historic buildings has become an essential part of revitalization in historic cities. A primary example of successful rehabilitations can be seen throughout the historic district of Savannah, Georgia. In an effort to continue the positive local trend of adaptive reuse and rehabilitation, we propose that the 1860s Noble Hardee Mansion, located on the downtown Monterey Square, be converted from its current use as an antique shop into a modern-inspired boutique hotel and restaurant. As it stands now, the Noble Hardee Mansion is a distinct and exceptional contributing structure in the Savannah historic district.

As a beautiful example of luxurious mid-19th

century Italianate architecture, it is more than worthy of further economic investment and a future continued public use. We believe the Noble Hardee Mansion has undeniable potential. Our proposed adaptive reuse includes an organic restaurant, aptly named FARM TO FORK, which will specialize in serving locally farmed gourmet cuisine. The restaurant is located on the garden level with outdoor seating in the garden patio on Gordon Street, on the sidewalk of Bull Street, and in the back courtyard. The first floor would be the reception, concierge, and office areas for THE NOBLE HARDEE hotel, as well as a multi-use gallery and event space for local artists. The rentable gallery and event space will cater to community events, organizations, and other social functions. The second and third floors will be ideal for the

eight hotel suites and amenities, such as the third floor exercise room and on-suite resting porches, that THE NOBLE HARDEE hotel would offer to its guests. Lastly, the cupula would serve as a romantic viewing area to admire the surrounding landscape and beautiful skyline of historic downtown Savannah. The proposed rehabilitation is scheduled to take a year, starting March 1st, 2013. The goal of the rehabilitation is to retain and restore as much of the historic fabric as possible while still addressing the needs of an upscale boutique hotel and trendy restaurant. The rehabilitation schedule starts with a needed roof repair to prevent any further water damage to the interior. Exterior projects include the restoration of historic ironwork on the balcony, as well as the repair of the existing historic windows and doors.

Public health and safety concerns such as mold removal, fire

safety, ADA compliance, plumbing updates, HVAC retrofit, and a new upto-date electrical system are also planned for execution during the rehabilitation. Interior repairs, restorations, and updates will be made throughout the house. This includes, but is not limited to, the restoration of historic plaster, floors, and the grand staircase that is one of the defining features of the Noble Hardee mansion. New luxury bathrooms will be added to every guest suite in the hotel. A new industrial kitchen is to be installed in the garden level to accommodate the new restaurant, as well as a bar area, servers station, and customer restrooms.

The location of the Noble Hardee Mansion is on the South side of historic Monterey Square, on the corner of Bull and West Gordon Streets. This location is an ideal area for business exposure because of its close proximity to walking traffic from tourists, passing motorist traffic, and pedestrian recreation in Forsyth Park.

The routes of daily trolley tours,

proximity to Monterey Square, and visitors to the Mercer house would also provide an adequate avenue of public exposure. Advertising would also attract a great deal of business during times of lower tourist activity. An estimated twelve million tourists visit Savannah every year, more than half of which intend to stay overnight. A large majority of the Savannah tourist base expresses the desire to receive an authentic historic experience in a prime downtown location. THE NOBLE HARDEE would provide just that experience, possessing just the right balance of chic modern comfort with historic charm and appeal. From an economic standpoint, the investment in the rehabilitation of this property is undoubtedly positive with a calculated thirty percent annual return on investment with the benefit of a twenty percent federal historic rehabilitation tax credit. Although the rehabilitation costs will be extensive, the end result will more than double the current assessed building value on the property. Ineligible costs will consist of initial start-up expenses, for example interior decoration and furniture acquisition for the hotel area and related existing public space, which will total in the

estimated amount of $116,000.

Annual projected operating

expenses allow for the employment of a full-time staff consisting of two receptionists, four valet and concierge staff, and two housekeeping employees. This also includes management, meaning one general manager and two assistant managers, which will allocate $209,000 of yearly expenses for the purpose of staff salary. Estimated yearly utility costs for the hotel are projected to be around $48,000, which will include electricity, water, cable, and Wi-Fi. With current hotel occupancy rates in the Savannah area estimated at around 66.6%, annual room revenue should total around $529,980, with average nightly room rates set at $275which is in the median price range of similar local hotel properties and historic inns. Additional gross rent acquired from the gallery and event space, and garden level restaurant will encompass an estimated $63,456 on an annual basis. Serving as one of the prominent historic focal points on downtown Monterey Square, the rehabilitation and establishment of THE NOBLE HARDEE will garner attention from locals and tourists alike. With adequate space for hotel guests, restaurant patrons, and recreational public use, THE NOBLE HARDEE will give the city of Savannah and the local tourism market unprecedented access to the ornate historic structure.

The

restoration effort affiliated with this project will facilitate the intervention of necessary structural preservation and proper historic treatment to the

deteriorating 19th century construction. The resulting multi-utilization of the building after rehabilitation will also provide ample and diverse employment opportunities, including jobs in construction, restoration, and hospitality, to the local population and will serve as a catalyst to stimulate further economic growth. The rehabilitation of the Noble Hardee mansion will revitalize contributing historic fabric and foster new business potential within downtown Savannah.

THE NOBLE HARDEE will command a

significant annual profit, which will benefit the local community and economy, allowing the noteworthy building to have a constructive, meaningful use in the future.

MARKET ANALYSIS Projected Market Summary Since 2011, the occupancy and RevPAR (revenue per available room) has been rising slightly in the Savannah, GA area (between 1.2 and 3.4 percent according to Smith Travel Research). As a historic port city, tourism is one of savannah’s largest economic resources, making the lodging industry a vital and utilitarian component of the downtown historic district. In 2011, approximately 12 million tourists came to savannah, half of which stayed over night. The prime areas of visitor interest in downtown Savannah tend to concentrate around River Street, Broughton Street, and Forsyth Park. Located at 3 W. Gordon Street on historic Monterey Square, the Noble Hardee will have ample pedestrian traffic and tourist exposure. The location is one block away from Forsyth Park and within adequate view, giving it a likely advantage within the Savannah area hospitality market. The Noble Hardee’s associated on-site dining establishment, Farm-to-Fork, will draw further attention to the location and also benefit from the operation’s distinct location.

The scope of the work consists of bringing the structure up to code for health and safety, including but not limited to: mold removal, ADA compliance, fire safety, plumbing and electrical. It also consists of restoring the building's historic integrity, including but not limited to: flooring, windows, doors, plaster, and ironwork. The exterior of the structure would remain intact with little to no change as required by the HSF easement. The stucco, windows, and ironwork would be repaired where needed using like materials. Front garden areas would be revitalized and outdoor seating would be provided for guests. Appropriate signage as directed by the MPC would be placed on the north and east facades. The goal is to change the exterior and interior of the structure as little as possible.

Public Notice for Board Meeting: The petitioner is responsible for posting the signs provided, advertising the public meeting at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the meeting. Continued petitions shall remain posted and the new hearing date shall be added to the sign no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting date. Failure to do so may result in the petition being continued until the next meeting. If the sign is stolen or damaged, the petitioner must replace it immediately. Refer to Section 8-3030, Subsection (h) Public Notice of the Historic District Ordinance for specific posting requirements. I have read and understand all the above information. I hereby certify that I am the owner or authorized agent for the legal owner of the subject property. Date:

SUBMITTAL CRITERIA CHECKLIST: Items listed below comprise the minimum submittal information required for review based on the proposed scope of work. Staff may request additional information during application review. Refer to the Manual for Development in the Savannah Historic District for further information on appropriate treatments. If the application does not contain all of the information listed on the submittal checklist below for the proposed scope of work, Staff and/or the Board will not review the application. Insufficient information will result in a delay in docketing the application for review. The Submittal Criteria Checklist does not need to be submitted with the application, please submit pages 1-2 of the application. Staff Reviews: 1.

PAINTING, STUCCO, SHUTTERS, DOORS, WINDOWS, ROOFS

Variance requests, for design standards and lot coverage, must be requested in writing and included as part of the application. The criteria for requesting a variance can be located in Section 8-3030(p).

Color photographs of areas involved and surrounding structures if applicable (i.e. rowhouses).

Samples of colors and/ or materials involved, (a stucco sample may be required). Specific brand, color name and manufacturer’s number must be given.

REPOINTING. Repointing of an historic building has the potential to alter the visual character of a structure in relationship with the neighboring contributing building, particularly when the structure to be repointed is part of a block or row of buildings. Additionally, the use of an incorrect mortar mix has the potential to cause permanent damage to buildings, causing long-term erosion to soft paste brick. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standard’s for Rehabilitation and Preservation Brief 2: Repointing Mortar Joints in Historic Masonry Buildings are explicit concerning the manner, methods, and materials that are appropriate for the repointing of historic masonry and as such these Standards are incorporated into the historic district section (8-3030) of the city zoning ordinance. a.

The proposed mortar mix shall be specified as to proportions of cement, lime, and sand by unit, i.e. by parts by volume (such as 1 part Portland cement, 1 part lime, 4-6 parts sand).

A four foot by four foot test patch of the proposed repointing as it will appear finished (that is including final finish pointing style and relationship to the brick face) shall be installed in an inconspicuous location on the building. In any application in which repointing is the only rehabilitation proposed, staff may approve the project after review of the test patch and submissions. If the test patch and submissions are not acceptable or the applicant desires to do more masonry repairs than are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, the project should be posted on the HBR agenda and considered by the entire Board.

FINAL PRESENTATION BOARD

Existing Conditions

The current layout of the garden level is not original to the house. Renovations throughout the years have drastically altered the space and few original details remain. The garden level configuration consists of four show rooms, an office, two storage rooms, a small bathroom, and two central hallways. The space is currently being utilized as showrooms for antique furnishings.

Proposed Plans

Garden Level

For our use, the garden level will be reused as a restaurant. The existing walls will be utilized where possible, but major renovations to interior finishes are needed. The renovations will include the addition of two guest restrooms, an industrial kitchen, a bar and lounge area, a main dining room, and a small vestibule off of the elevator that is accessible only to hotel guests.

Existing Conditions The current first floor is in its original configuration with minor exceptions. A kitchenette and a partition wall with pocket doors in the west parlor were added in a 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remodel, but no walls were demolished. The space is currently being used as showrooms.

Proposed Plans

First Floor

The first floor renovation will only slightly alter its current layout. A new wall will be added in the west parlor to create a concierge space and the kitchenette will be removed and replaced with a restroom for guests. The expansive east parlor will be used as a gallery and rentable event space while a reception area will occupy the north East parlor. Administrative services will be located in the south west parlor. The main hall will now be accessible by an elevator.

Existing Conditions The second floor is currently in its original layout and is comprised of two bedrooms on the east side and a large open room on the West. Closets and smaller storage areas are also present. All spaces on the second floor are currently being used as showrooms.

Proposed Plans

Second Floor

The second floor after rehabilitation will consist of four bedroom suites. Each suite will have a connecting bathroom and access to the main hall. The two south bedrooms will also have access to private balconies. The main hall will now be accessible by an elevator.

Existing Conditions The third floor is currently in its original condition. The floor consists of a large open room on the west side of the main hall and three bedrooms on the east side. Two storage areas are accessible from the back porch and a small room occupies the north end of the central hall. All rooms are currently being used as showrooms.

Proposed Plans

Third Floor

After rehabilitation, the third floor will house four bedroom suites with adjoining bathrooms. The large west room will be divided into two suites with a new bathroom in the center. A wall in the south east bedroom will be pushed north to add space in the new bedroom and an exercise room will replace the central east bedroom. The main hall will now be accessible by an elevator.

Existing Conditions The cupula is original to the house, but currently unused.

Proposed Solutions

Cupola

The cupula will be restored and used as a viewing area.
