WINTER 2015
Board of Trustees
Dear Members, It is always exciting to get to share the progress Historic Macon has made with the general public. We take our mission very seriously to revitalize this community by preserving architecture and sharing history. All of this comes to focus in our targeted work in Beall’s Hill, where a community has emerged where before there were simply houses. As we report our successes, we must also say thank you to the donors, members, and residents that have made our work possible and gave our excellent staff the necessary tools to execute this project that is a national exemplar. No matter the level, you are all vital to the success of this effort. I look at Beall’s Hill as the microcosm of the Macon Movement in general. When I arrived at Mercer in 2003, Beall’s Hill was not a place one would call vibrant. It was the place Mercer students were told not to go. The neighborhood that is the Campus’s direct neighbor was not considered part of its community. But my, how that has changed. HMF and its partners have turned that around and become an anchor for the successful revitalization in the College Hill Corridor and the ongoing work throughout the entire urban core. I am proud to say that Mercer students coming to town today get to see a bright and successful neighborhood that invites them to sink their teeth into our community. Yes, Beall’s Hill tells us that the work of revitalization is so many things. It is difficult, it can seem slow, it is rewarding and, at times, disappointing. Beall’s Hill, however, has been all of that and more. It has been exciting, telling, engrossing, successful, collaborative, instructive, and deliberate. It is proof, that when you focus and study an issue, and you preserve the homes and keep residents in them, and you share your stories with partners, neighbors, and friends you will end up with a revitalized community—one that was built in the best possible way: together.

I hope you enjoy reflecting on changes in Beall’s Hill and join me in looking forward to what is next in Beall’s Hill and beyond. With your help in sharing our stories, we will bring new partners to the table to build on the preservation movement. We’ve proven it is doable, and the best, as always, is yet to come.

BUILDINGS, BIKEs, AND BUTTERFLIES IN BEALL’S HILL Ethiel Garlington
Just over a year ago, the Macon community was celebrating Knight Foundation’s exciting new investment in Historic Macon Foundation. The $3M, five year program is ensuring our neighborhood stabilization work continues in Beall’s Hill at an expeditious rate with construction and Down Payment Assistance. Additionally, the investment greatly expands our low interest loan programs that are available to property owners in the College Hill Corridor. With the support from Knight Foundation, we’ve completed two new houses on the 1300 block of Calhoun Street and are nearing completion of four new houses on the 900 block of Ash Street. Some of these houses are still available for purchase so please visit our website for more information. In the coming months, we’ll be using funds from our Knight Foundation grant and Historic Hills and Heights Development Corporation (HHHCD), a partnership of Mercer University, Macon Housing Authority, and Macon-Bibb County, to complete our organization’s most extensive rehabilitation to date. The house located at 1388 Calhoun Street is in tough shape, but it’s a unique house in the neighborhood so it will transformed as our 2016 Idea House as part of our Design Wine & Dine event in June. Also, with the help of Hills and Heights we’ll be able to rehabilitate two shotgun style houses across from the Idea House. As
we continue down each street in the neighborhood the impact is apparent. Furthermore, thanks to $2M from the “blight bond” HMF and HHHDC will work with the Beall’s Hill Neighborhood Association to address sorely needed infrastructure improvements in the neighborhood. We plan to fill in missing sidewalks and add street lighting consistent with other parts of the neighborhood. We’re also instituting new landscape plans for all of our houses to include native plants that help foster butterfly habitats. The Roslynn Carter Butterfly Trail was established to curb the declining Monarch butterfly, which dropped by 90 percent last year. Finally, in an effort to promote a bike-friendly neighborhood, we’re establishing a “Bikes for Beall’s Hill” program. Going forward, HMF will provide two bikes for every buyer of a HMF house thanks to funding from the Moe Fund granted by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Thanks to the Macon Action Plan, we know how important transportation options are for a healthy and vibrant community so we’re doing our part by getting more bikes in Beall’s Hill. Take a few minutes to drive, bike, or walk through Beall’s Hill. You’ll be amazed at the progress we’ve made.

a new home in an historic house carrie cameron robinson
Historic Macon has sold numerous homes over the years in historic neighborhoods, but we have continued to perfect our “new” historic home sales. When we sell a historic home to a buyer, they are essentially buying a new home with historic character. This method makes owning a historic property approachable and cost efficient for our buyers.
one, but much of that expense comes from owning historic homes that do not have updated systems. We help take those expenses out of the equation so that buyers do not have to be concerned with large expenses from an outdated house. While we will always lose some buyers to our new homes, we want to make sure that our historic homes are in direct competition.
When we begin a historic rehab, there is typically never a surface that goes untouched. Historic character is retained with floors, moldings, doors and windows, but the guts of the home are always new. We strive to make our historic homes energy efficient with new HVAC systems that exceed the national standard. We add insulation throughout, all new plumbing and electrical systems and recently energy efficient tankless water heaters. These elements, along with all new interior and exterior finishes help us sell our historic homes.
At the end of the day, many buyers get more out of a historic home purchase. Their homes come with details and character that would be very expensive to replicate and they help continue the life of a home that has a sense of place in the neighborhood. The final advantage of purchasing a “new” historic home is the added tax credit and property tax freeze incentives. Some of our buyers find that it is actually cheaper monthly for them to buy one of our historic properties than a new house of equivalent size. Why not buy a historic home if it has added character and features while costing less? This model for sales is one that Historic Macon will continue as we finish our work in the Beall’s Hill neighborhood.
Many home buyers have long been told that owning a historic home is much more expensive than a new
Historic Macon’s Preservation Designer, Carrie Robinson, salvaged planks from the original hardwood floors of this rehabilitation project on Calhoun Street to build creative shelving to hold keepsakes. 12
hmf loans first energy efficiency project lauren mauldin
Historic Macon offers College Hill residents lowinterest façade loans as well as energy efficiency loans, the newest addition to the home improvement loan program. This summer, Beall’s Hill was the site of Historic Macon’s first energy efficiency loan. The energy efficiency loan assists borrowers with installing improvements that are proven to enhance the overall energy efficiency of College Hill homes. In July, the Loan Review Committee approved the very first energy efficiency loan to Beall’s Hill residents, Lala Tambora and Eric Winslette. The low interest rate and disbursement structure of Historic Macon’s energy efficiency loan appealed to Lala and Eric and encouraged them to apply. Each loan applicant undergoes a BPI assessment, which provides specific recommendations for improving energy efficiency based on existing conditions. After receiving the results of their BPI Assessment, Lala and Eric chose to replace their HVAC with a more efficient system, execute air sealing in the attic, and install additional insulation. According to Eric, the updates have significantly improved their comfort levels: “Our house used to not be able to hold 76 (it would be 78) during the summer, now it hits 74 with relative ease.” It is estimated that these upgrades will improve their home’s energy usage by 25-33%, and subsequently lower their monthly energy bill. After their experience going through the loan process, Eric and Lala would
definitely recommend the loan to anyone wanting to make their home more comfortable. I always enjoy working on loan projects in Beall’s Hill because they reinforce Historic Macon’s revitalization efforts in the neighborhood. Ultimately, participation in the loan program demonstrates College Hill residents’ commitment to preserving their home and investing in their community. For more information on how to apply, contact Lauren Mauldin, Loan Fund Manager at 478-742-5084 or at lmauldin@historicmacon.org 10 Ways You Can Use an Energy Efficiency Loan 1. Professional Building Performance Institute (BPI) Assessment 2. Duct Sealing and HVAC upgrades 3. Attic Insulation 4. Heat Recovery Water Heater System 5. Tankless Water Heater 6.

ingleside historic district: National register news kim campbell
On Friday, August 28, the Georgia State Review Board approved the National Register nomination of the Ingleside Historic District. The day was an exciting one for the Ingleside neighborhood, Historic Macon Foundation, and Ms. Vickie Hertwig, the consultant who has been researching the history and architecture of Ingleside since 2013. With this approval in the books, all that remains is for the National Park Service reviewers to look over the document before it is signed into the National Register of Historic Places by the Keeper of the Register. Nominating the Ingleside neighborhood to the National Register has already benefited the area. The process requires a great deal of historical and architectural documentation. Through Ms. Hertwig’s hard work, we have a history of the neighborhood in a single place. Georgia’s Historic Preservation Division staff, who actually wrote the nomination using Ms. Hertwig’s research, visited Macon last spring to photograph the district. In the future, individuals will be able to look at these images and
see what Ingleside looked like in 2015. This detail may seem unimportant, but photographs showing a building at different points in its lifetime are very important tools for preservationists. In January 2015, the Historic Preservation Division staff had received enough documentation to officially declare the Ingleside Historic District eligible for tax credits. This determination means that the contributing properties are eligible for the State Income Tax Credit Program for Rehabilitated Historic Property and the State Preferential Property Tax Assessment Program for Rehabilitated Historic Property. To learn more about these programs and how they can make working on your home more affordable, visit www.historicmacon.org. The Ingleside Historic District will finish its journey in late 2015 or early 2016, when the Keeper of the Register signs it, officially listing it in the National Register of Historic Places.

macon’s inaugural fading five kim campbell
In August, Historic Macon Foundation announced our first Macon’s Fading Five, an endangered property list for Macon-Bibb County. Although they go by many names, preservation organizations throughout the country use endangered property lists as tools to help with historic preservation and community revitalization. The goal of all of these lists is to highlight places to better find sensitive solutions for them before they are lost forever. Macon’s Fading Five includes places with diverse locations, histories, and architectural styles to represent some of what makes our community unique. Currently in danger of demolition by neglect, the Schofield Iron Works Complex on Fifth Street is an example of Macon’s long and storied industrial heritage. Constructed in 1932, Alexander IV Elementary School is a contributing resource in the new Ingleside Historic District that will be officially listed in the National Register of Historic Places around the end of this year. The building’s Tudor-inspired architecture and its central location in the Ingleside area make it a prime candidate for reuse. The Cotton Avenue District is one of Macon’s historically African American business districts. Although none of the streets that make up this area today are still known as “Cotton Avenue” the name
WARE HOUSE
for the area has stuck. The buildings that make up this area are the perfect size for use by local or start-up businesses, and the Medical Center offers many potential customers. The Bonnybrae-Bedgood House is associated with many of Macon’s most prominent citizens, including multiple mayors and a state senator. Built in between 1838 and 1839, Neel Reid almost doubled the size of the house when it was known as Bonnybrae. In 1992, the Bedgood family won an annual preservation award from the Macon Heritage Foundation for the work they did rehabilitating this structure. The Ware House is one of the largest houses in Beall’s Hill and located on a prominent Oglethorpe Street corner. Built by Commissioner of Public Works Thomas Jefferson Ware around 1880, the house has hosted many uses in its day. Today, it is in danger of demolition by neglect, as are almost all the places included in this list. Listing a place in Macon’s Fading Five gives us the opportunity to focus efforts on finding a solution for some of our community’s most historically and architecturally significant places. Historic Macon’s Preservation Committee is already strategizing and facilitating preservation opportunities for these important properties.

THE BEALL’S HILL CHOICE emily hopkins
Instead of watching Sesame Street, Susan grew up watching This Old House and taking notes on Bob Vila’s helpful tips and tricks for maintaining historic homes. Throughout her life, Susan knew she wanted to one day buy a house with historic charm and bring out its potential like the New Englanders on PBS. It is only fitting that Susan would make one of Historic Macon’s properties in Beall’s Hill her home later in life. For a year and a half Susan drove all over the Southeast looking for the perfect historic structure to renovate and call her home. Living in Atlanta at the time, she had not considered Macon until one day she drove into town. “I was blown away by how many houses there were that had been so well preserved,” Susan remarked. After visiting Macon, she became enthralled with the community and decided to look for jobs in Middle Georgia. While waiting to land a new position, she narrowed down her list of potential houses to buy in Macon. But once she received an offer from Mercer University, moving to Beall’s Hill was a no-brainer. As an employee of the university, Susan was eligible for Mercer’s down-payment assistance program. The program provides employees with a maximum of $20,000 to go towards an eligible home and is forgivable after 5 years. The program is only available to houses located within the bounds of Beall’s Hill, contributing to the success of home ownership in the neighborhood. Susan had considered other houses outside of the down-payment assistance program’s boundaries but the availability of the funds allowed her to purchase her Victorian two-story fixer upper. Susan saw the potential in the houses that had been moved from Coleman Avenue and is currently renovating her home to display its historic charm. But the historic integrity of a building was not the only thing Susan looked for in her quest for the perfect home. She found several beautiful houses throughout the Southeast possessing the charm of homes found in Macon, but often these were located in one-stoplight towns. “When I came here, I could 18
1 tell there were things going on in Macon. There was new activity and it had all the perks of city living.” Susan cited the convenience of the Beall’s Hill neighborhood as a major draw. She and her dog visit the dog park every day and enjoy the walkability of the neighborhood as a whole. Buying from Historic Macon was an added bonus as well. Susan was impressed by the magnitude of preservation in Macon and attributed part of that success to the work of Historic Macon and Macon’s neighborhood associations. Once Susan finishes working on her new home, she plans to become involved with Beall’s Hill Neighborhood Association and enjoy the community she now calls home.

preservation partners make our work possible trish whitley
A Historic Macon Preservation Partner is a business supporting Historic Macon’s mission to revitalize our community by preserving architecture and sharing history. Preservation Partners annually support Historic Macon through cash and/or in-kind gifts and they replace what we once called a business membership. Most importantly, Preservation Partners replace event-specific sponsorships. Preservation Partners are a one-ask process because we no longer “nickel & dime” our business supporters throughout the year with requests for event sponsorships plus an annual “membership” ask. Preservation Partners benefit from year-round exposure, including ads in the Design Wine & Dine program and banner, Flea Market banner, recognition on the HMF website and social media, plus many other promotional opportunities throughout the year, such as our weekly e-blasts. Preservation Partners are a vital component of support for Historic Macon. Most everyone has heard the expression “cash is king” – and we would not disagree – however without in-kind support from several of our Preservation Partners, growth in Beall’s Hill and completion of our first downtown loft project would be tough. For example, our Preservation Partner Noland Company provided all
24
of the plumbing fixtures for the 551 Cherry Street loft project—IN-KIND! Another gracious in-kind contribution came from Lowe Lighting with their donation of all the fabulous light fixtures for 551 Cherry Street. However, Preservation Partners can also provide in-kind services that support Historic Macon throughout the year and are not always project-specific. The Telegraph, 11th Hour and Macon Magazine provide in-kind print media coverage while Cox Communications and Cumulus Radio offer expansive TV and radio media coverage. These are just a few of our in-kind Preservation Partners and we appreciate them all! The majority of our Preservation Partners do support HMF with cash donations and they are extremely invaluable as well. Not only does their cash contribution directly fund our mission but it shows the community that their business supports our mission and they appreciate the work that Historic Macon does in the community. Needless to say, we have some great Preservation Partners (many more than are listed above) but we need and want more! If you own a business or know of a business that would be a good fit as a Historic Macon Preservation Partner, please contact Trish Whitley, Director of Development at Historic Macon: 478-742-5084 or twhitley@historicmacon.org.

PRESERVATION PARTNER SPOTLIGHT - THE MACON TELEGRAPH EMILY HOPKINS
Historic Macon is fortunate to have generous business and community partners who are invested in our mission-related work. In our 2014-2015 fiscal year, Historic Macon increased its number of business partners from 20 to 48, an incredible jump! Historic Macon would like to thank all of our Preservation Partners for their generous support this year. The Macon Telegraph is a generous supporter of Historic Macon Foundation. Through The Telegraph’s contribution, Historic Macon is able to promote important fundraising events and educational programs to The Telegraph’s diverse audience. In fact, The Telegraph has a circulation of 33,698 newspaper daily and 48,043 on Sunday. On average, www.macon.com has 6.5 million monthly unique page views and 840,00 monthly unique visitors. Historic Macon’s successful events can be attributed to our partners, like The Telegraph, who help us reach large and diverse audiences. The impact of The Macon Telegraph in our community is evident from these numbers. The Telegraph fulfills its mission of “offering high-value products and services through the newspaper, website, mobile apps and partnerships with other media” daily by providing the area with breaking news and spotlighting community events. For 189 years, The Telegraph has served Middle Georgia with daily news. In 1826, three years after the Georgia General Assembly chartered Macon, Dr. Myron Bartlett founded The Telegraph as a weekly newspaper. The first edition of The Telegraph appeared on Nov. 1, 1826. In 1855, Joseph Clisby became owner and editor of The Telegraph and saw it emerge as a daily newspaper after the Civil War. The Macon Telegraph merged with The Messenger in 1869. The News was founded by 16-year-old Jerome Pound with an investment of $8 in 1884. W.T. Anderson published and edited The Macon Telegraph until 1940, and it was during this period that The Macon Telegraph and The Macon News were merged into The Macon Telegraph Publishing Company.
In February 1969, The Macon Telegraph Publishing Company became part of Knight Newspapers, Inc., which later merged with Ridder Publications to become Knight Ridder. In 1990, the paper was redesigned and renamed The Macon Telegraph. In December 1997, The Macon Telegraph acquired The (Warner Robins) Daily Sun, The Buyers’ Guide and The Byron Gazette. In February of 2003, The Macon Telegraph absorbed the Warner Robins Daily Sun customers as part of an expanded Houston edition that was a component of the newspaper’s product improvement plan. In 2005, the paper became The Telegraph, and The Telegraph Houston Edition was replaced by the weekly Houston Peach. In June of 2006, The Telegraph was acquired by The McClatchy Company with McClatchy’s purchase of Knight Ridder. Today, The Telegraph also produces The Sun News, launched in 2008 as an expanded and revamped version of the Houston Peach, Neighbors, Bibb Living and Robins Rev-Up, the newspaper for Robins Air Force Base. Throughout The Telegraph’s tenure in Macon, the publishing company has fulfilled its historic mission, “to inform the residents of Middle Georgia and to act as a community watchdog.” According to www.macon.com, to carry out this mission “is a privilege, responsibility and source of competitive strength. A commitment to customers and employees is fundamental to the company’s success.” To learn more about The Telegraph and breaking news in Middle Georgia, visit www.macon.com.
