HMF Winter 2017 Newsletter by Historic Macon

MACON IS PRESERVATION Newsletter of Historic Macon Foundation

Winter 2017

It is hard to believe that it is time to write a wrap-up for 2016. I am not sure where the year went but I do know that the folks at Historic Macon have been busier than ever. So many exciting things have taken place that there is not enough room in this newsletter to mention them all. The theme for this issue is “Historic Macon’s Preservation Resolutions.” I think it is fair to say that many of 2016’s successes will help pave the road for work to be done in 2017. One of HMF’s major triumphs in 2016 was the Flea Market. What a great event! This year’s Flea Market was unlike any other because it was housed in our new warehouse at 357 Oglethorpe Street. We will no longer have to worry about finding suitable storage venues and can spend more time soliciting donations and sorting through and displaying the treasures that are collected. A big thank you to Art Howard (Dad) for chairing this year’s event and to everyone who spent countless hours getting everything ready for the sale. In the end, the Flea Market netted Historic Macon close to $40,000. Another big project that started in 2016 was the renovation of HMF’s new headquarters at 338 Poplar Street. The new building will offer much more space for offices as well as meeting areas. Adaptive reuse is vital to the renaissance of downtown Macon and HMF is doing its part with the new-old building. Work is underway with move-in slated for summer. Historic Macon also garnered a lot of great press surrounding the 2016 Fading Five list. Considering that the 2015 list saw an 80% success rate, a lot of interest surrounded the second round of properties. The 2016 Fading Five announcement was held at the beautiful Bonnybrae-Bedgood house. The new owners, Stephanie and John Chipley, learned about the house through the inaugural Fading Five list in 2015. They have embarked on a major renovation and were kind enough to let HMF and its members get a peek at the great things in store for the historic home during a members-only open house in October. HMF’s work in Beall’s Hill continued with one of the Foundation’s most challenging rehab projects. If you drive by 1388 Calhoun Street today, you will see an impressive Victorian cottage. A year and half ago, you would have seen a blighted property. What was once the worst house in several square blocks is now the jewel of the neighborhood and served as 2016’s Design House. As if all of the work in Beall’s Hill wasn’t enough, Historic Macon expanded its rehabilitation efforts to “Mill Hill,” which is in the Fort Hill neighborhood. Working with the Macon Arts Alliance and the Urban Development Authority, HMF is rehabbing abandoned Bibb Mill houses to be used as housing for artists-in-residence. I encourage everyone to drive by the cottages on Schell Street and see the great work being done by all involved organizations. There is simply too much activity to list. Thanks to the support of our members and the fantastic work done by the talented staff, Historic Macon is poised to be the premier preservation organization in the nation. I look forward to what’s in store for Historic Macon in 2017.

RECENT SALES

1388 CALHOUN STREET In November, 1388 Calhoun Street sold to Dalton Turner. “The Calhoun House stole our hearts from the moment we entered,” Turner said. “Beall’s Hill Neighborhood allows us to be immersed in the vibrant growth and diversity of Macon.” Dalton and his girlfriend, Rebecca, took advantage of the Bikes for Beall’s Hill program when purchasing their new home.

1107 OGLETHORPE STREET If this property looks familiar, it was on the inaugural Macon’s Fading Five in 2015. After purchasing the home in early 2016, Historic Macon sold the Ware House to Ashley and Ryan Griffin, who plan to rehabilitate the home and make it their family’s residence. 12

FOR SALE

994 ELM STREET This is the most recent Beall’s Hill project completed. Historic features such as original hardwood floors and fireplace mantels combine with the contemporary finishes to create a charming cottage. If the character of the home isn’t enough, it comes with an estimated $35,000 in state income tax credits and $15,000 in savings from the 8.5 year property tax freeze.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

HOUSES ON ASH STREET Our current rehabilitation project includes several shotgun houses across from the four new builds on Ash Street.

HOUSE GOALS sabrinna cox

2017 is underway and HMF is looking forward to moving ahead on a number of rehabilitation and infill projects that help revitalize neighborhoods. Last year witnessed continued efforts in the Beall’s Hill neighborhood, which included a number of new-builds along with three fixer-uppers on the corner of Elm and Calhoun Street. 2016 was also the beginning of the organization’s foray into the Mill Hill neighborhood. On the horizon in 2017 are small houses on Ash Street and the completion of phase 1 and the start of phase 2 in Mill Hill. To start this year, work has begun on two houses that will take a cue from a national trend focused on downsizing and de-cluttering. Small houses, not to be confused with tiny houses, are defined by a footprint of 600 to 1,000 square feet. Three shotgun houses located on Ash Street across from the four new-builds built by HMF in 2016 will remain under 1,000 square feet. Each property will have a bedroom, main room, kitchen, and bathroom. A small addition to the rear of the properties will allow for a laundry room and porch. The houses are already squeezed together on lots ranging from 22 feet to 26 feet by 104 feet with a maximum space of seven feet between the houses. This proximity made these the perfect candidates for small houses in Beall’s Hill. The size of the property does not allow for large additions without the demolition of one of the houses and there is no reason for that considering the houses are in relatively good shape. Once the first two houses are complete, His-

toric Macon will finish the row with 941 Ash Street. In addition to the three small houses on Ash Street, there are two empty parcels next to 929 Ash Street. To fill these blank spaces, Historic Macon will collaborate with the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) on house plans for a fourth, and possibly fifth, small house. Parameters for the houses include following the local design guidelines, remaining under or at 1,000 square feet, and keeping to a predetermined construction budget. Students began work this winter on designs. Also on the docket in 2017 is the continuation of Mill Hill. Phase 1 of the project is on schedule to be finished early this year followed by phase 2. Phase 1 focused on two houses located on Schell Street and a third on Hydrolia Street. 233 and 227 Schell were completed in 2016. As 2017 begins, attention will be directed towards the completion of 242 Hydrolia Street and from there work will begin on phase 2 which will involve the rehabilitation of three more houses. These houses will contribute to the Macon Arts Alliance’s art village and revitalization of the Mill Hill area. Overall 2017 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for preservation in Macon. These houses will be the focus of the next six months with more exciting projects in the works. Stay tuned for future updates as the year progresses.

As we plan for 2017, we at Historic Macon find it helpful to look over our work from the previous year, and what a year it has been! We’ve rolled out numerous new programs, such as the Historic Macon Music Registry and the Neighborhood Incubator project, and continued old favorites like the Flea Market. One program we’ve continued to have great success with in 2016 was our historic tax credit consulting services.

2016, Historic Macon was invited to help advocate for Georgia’s historic tax credit program by leading a tour for some members of Georgia’s House of Representatives. The members present were in awe of Macon’s revitalization and deeply impressed with the wonders that can be wrought with historic tax credits.

In July 2016, Georgia’s Historic Preservation Division announced that Macon led the entire state in the number of submitted historic tax credit applications for the fourth year in a row. For the past four years, Macon has had more historic tax credit projects than Savannah, Atlanta, Columbus, Augusta, and every other city and town in the state of Georgia.

4 YEARS leading the state in number of applications submitted

One reason for Macon’s great success in completing these projects is our fourteen National Register of Historic Places historic districts, which contain over 6,000 contributing buildings and structures eligible to participate in this program. Historic Macon is working to ensure this success continues by listing new historic districts. The Ingleside Historic District was officially signed into the National Register in 2016, and we began the listing process for the Napier Heights Historic District in 2016 as well. In addition to our work locally, Historic Macon’s consulting services are utilized in several other communities. We currently have projects everywhere from Carrollton in the northwestern part of the state to Athens with growing interest in communities surrounding Macon, such as Monroe County. Our work in other communities and our experience with over hundreds of applications have made us a wellknown and respected consultant, not just in the state of Georgia, but nationally as well. In November of

Bryan Nichols has completed 11 projects using Historic Macon’s tax credit consultation service. As 2017 continues, we look forward to striving for the high standard of excellence we have set for our consulting work. Our goal is to lead the state of Georgia for the fifth consecutive year in the number of submitted tax credit applications. We have a number of projects on the horizon for this year, including everything from shotgun houses, which are less than 1,000 square feet in size, to Alexander IV Elementary School, and everything in between. If you’re thinking about a remodel or have some other work to do on your historic home or building, consider calling us. Chances are, we can help you take advantage of some historic tax credits too. Contact Kim Campbell at kcampbell@historicmacon.org if you’re interested in Historic Macon’s tax credit consulting service. Or visit Historic Macon’s website at www.historicmacon.org/preservation-incentives. 19

show me the money: grant updates EMILY HOPKINS

In 2016, Historic received $1.2 million in grants from 15 different granting organizations and funds. Two of the most generous grants this year were donated by the Peyton Anderson Foundation and a donor from the Community Foundation of Central Georgia to purchase and rehabilitate a historic downtown building for Historic Macon’s new headquarters. These grants allow us to expand our existing programs and initiate new projects. Our organization is incredibly fortunate to receive many grants, so many in fact, we could not list them all in this article. For a full list of grants won in 2016, see page 9. COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF CENTRAL GEORGIA: DOWNTOWN CHALLENGE Rose Hill Cemetery Planning for Ocmulgee Heritage Trail ($30,000) Funds from the Downtown Challenge are being used to find and design the best connection for the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail to Rose Hill Cemetery and to write, design, and install interpretive signs in the Oak Ridge section of the cemetery. The land between Spring Street and the cemetery has been surveyed. Hodges, Harbin, Newberry & Tribble, the engineering firm selected to complete the work, is currently designing three possibilities for the connection. We are in the final design phase for the interpretive signage.

Preservation Pop-up Speakeasies ($5,000) Historic Macon won a grant to host a series of four “pop-up speakeasies” to activate vacant and underutilized spaces in Macon’s urban core. Historic Macon hosted the first event in January of this year and it was a success. The event sold out and a good time was had by all. Stay tuned for more events! Smart Commissioners ($7,000) HMF was awarded a Downtown Challenge grant to bring CAMP (Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program) to Macon to train Planning and Zoning Commissioners, Design Review Board members, and Planning and Zoning staff. The training took place on Friday, February 24, 2017. Cotton Avenue Revival Festival ($10,000) Historic Macon has brought together community leaders who have a vested interest in the preservation of the Cotton Avenue district to form the Cotton Avenue Coalition. The Coalition received a grant to reinvigorate the Cotton Avenue Revival Festival and will host the festival March 26-27, 2017. Activities will include walking tours, church tours, and live music on Cotton Avenue. This event is free and open to the public.

Macon’s Haunted History ($2,500) Every city has at least a few macabre tales and Macon is no exception. However, no one is telling these stories through ghost tours. Lauren Mauldin and Emily Hopkins will launch a pilot program, known as “Macon’s Haunted History,” to collect the community’s ghost stories and lead tours. Three “community collection hours” will take place in the spring. These events will be used to gather ghost stories from community members and then Lauren and Emily will research the tales to incorporate them into tours. 22

Press conference at The Creek FM announcing the Historic Macon Music Registry.

The Historic Macon Music Registry is an ongoing documentation project that interprets and celebrates Macon’s rich and diverse music heritage. The Music Registry aligns with ongoing efforts of groups like the Friends of Macon Music, Rock Candy Tours, the Otis Redding Foundation, the Allman Brothers Big House Museum, and countless others to preserve Macon’s music history and revive the city’s music scene. Historic Macon installs plaques at influential sites that represent the diversity of music’s role in shaping the character and soul of Macon. Twelve plaques were installed in September and the second round of plaques will be installed in the coming months.

We want to help you! Emily hopkins

We want to help you meet your goals this year! Whether it’s fixing up your home, a major renovation, organizing your neighbors, or buying a new home, Historic Macon is here to help. When you succeed, we succeed. That’s why Macon is Preservation. HISTORIC TAX CREDITS State and federal historic preservation tax credits have been instrumental in Macon’s renaissance. Buildings listed in the National Register of Historic Places can qualify for these programs. For instance, owners of historic properties can be reimbursed for 25-30% of the qualified rehabilitation expenses they spend on the project through state income tax credits. There are many more incentives as well! If you’re interested in completing a major rehabilitation project, contact Kim Campbell at kcampbell@historicmacon.org before getting started. LOW-INTEREST LOANS Historic Macon’s low-interest loan program is one of the easiest ways to achieve your house goals. Loans are available to owners of properties located in the College Hill Corridor in the amounts of $5,000 and $10,000. These amounts allow homeowners to complete manageable, but much-needed, routine maintenance projects on the exterior facade of their homes. Past projects awarded have included roof repairs, exterior painting, and landscaping. Contact Lauren Mauldin to lmauldin@historicmacon.org to learn more. NEIGHBORHOOD INCUBATOR Historic Macon held a public meeting on Tuesday, January 24 to gain input from the community regarding the Neighborhood Incubator. The goal of the Neighborhood Incubator is to promote broad-based resident engagement through individual neighborhoods. It’s not too late to have your voice heard! Call 478-216-8898 or visit www.historicmacon.org/neighborhood-incubator to share your input.

historic macon’s economic impact lauren E. mauldin

Since 2007, Historic Macon has focused our revitalization efforts in Beall’s Hill. To date, we’ve completed over 38 historic rehabilitations and new construction projects in Beall’s Hill, and invested nearly $6 million into the neighborhood. After executing our approach to neighborhood revitalization - one neighborhood at a time, street by street, block by block, and house by house - for over 30 years, we at Historic Macon recognized our revitalization work in Beall’s Hill made a significant economic impact in the community.

$6 MIL invested in Beall’s Hill

erties adjacent to HMF’s parcels (bordering or across the street, does not include any HMF properties) increased on average by $20,409.09, demonstrating a spillover effect of HMF’s investments. Non-HMF Residential and Historic Properties: Comparing the spillover effect on adjacent residential and historic to the average change in value for non-HMF residential and historic properties shows a change of $8,505.16. Non-HMF, Non-Adjacent Residential and Historic: Taking out the adjacent parcels from the Non-HMF Residential and Historic numbers and the average change in values goes down further, to $4,537.18. Non-HMF: If you calculate the isolated change in value for properties in the CBG with Historic Macon’s properties removed, the average increase was only $10,952.39 (excluded outliers again).

However, we realized that Historic Macon didn’t have the expertise to convert the tangible development of historic rehabs and new construction into quantita- “Long term Beall’s Hill residents tive statistics that effectively expressed that impact. are not affected by the increase in Thus, we sought to quantify our work in Beall’s Hill and how it affected the local economy.

KNOCK THREE TIMES: PRESERVATION POP-UP SPEAKEASIES Emily hopkins

On a quiet January night, a space above Cotton Avenue was anything but silent. An easily overlooked staircase next to the Golden Bough Bookstore led to a pop-up speakeasy for one night. Historic Macon’s executive director, Ethiel Garlington, greeted visitors at the foot of the stairs lined with luminaries and provided guests with a password. While ascending the stairs, excitement rose as the mumble of voices and laughter grew louder, amidst the tinkling of glasses and rattling shakers icing down cocktails. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, guests found a wide hallway with detailed molding framing transform windows, flanked by walls with peeling paint. It was clear that if these walls could talk, they would have quite a few stories to tell. Antique furniture, vintage books, and quirky knick-knacks provided makeshift seating areas, perfect for meeting new people. Not to mention, four original handcrafted cocktails to loosen one’s tongue for conversation. Mixology masterminds Chelsea Hughes and Haley Bozeman concocted four libations based on clas-

sic books that one might find in the bookstore just below the pop-up speakeasy. “Through the Looking Glass” provided a sweet mix of hibiscus and gin with a deep maroon color as enchanting as Alice’s wonderland. “20,000 Leagues” submersed one with heavy notes of ginger, grapefruit, and lime floating in a sea of rum and gin. “The Princess and the Goblin” provided a sweet taste at first with a spicy jalapeno finish. “Far From the Madding Crowd” transported guests on a tasty journey through the unexpected combination of chai, cognac, rye whiskey, and angostura. The Above the Bookshop Speakeasy slyly sold out in two weeks. Three more speakeasies are scheduled for the spring and summer. Be sure to keep your eyes open to find out when the next events occur. You simply must follow Historic Macon on Facebook and Instagram if you want to reserve your spot at the next event. After all, if this speakeasy has proven one thing, these tickets aren’t available for very long.

2017 PATRONS’ PARTY trish whitley

What does Historic Macon membership mean to you? For some of you it means putting your money behind bricks and mortar preservation. For others it’s about staying informed about preservation by getting our weekly e-blast. For many of you it’s about attending our events. On Thursday, January 26, Historic Macon hosted its annual Patrons’ Party at the historic Alexander IV Elementary School. The Patrons’ Party is our biggest members only event of the year. HMF members at the $175 Patron level and above were treated to a fun evening of fine food, an open bar, and tunes to dance the night away. In August 2015 Alexander IV was listed on our inaugural Fading Five list. HMF worked with Commissioner Mallory Jones to purchase Alexander IV from the Macon-Bibb County Board of Education using blight bond funds. The Macon-Bibb County Land Bank Authority acquired Alexander IV in 2016. Since that time, Historic Macon has worked with a com-

mittee of community members to find an appropriate developer for the historic school. We are thrilled that Dover Development Corporation out of Knoxville, TN will redevelop Alexander IV as a senior living facility and invest nearly $9 million in the project. This year’s Patrons’ Party was one to remember. This was the first time Historic Macon hosted the party in an unfinished building but that didn’t mean the event was any less fun! Patrons danced to the sounds of the Grapevine while nibbling on tomato tarts and crab cakes prepared by the always phenomenal Two’s Company. If you aren’t a Patron member and this event sounds like fun to you, visit our website or contact Trish Whitley to upgrade your membership. In addition to benefits like the Patrons’ Party, your tax-deductible membership dues help us reach our goals for preservation, education, and advocacy projects. We appreciate your support of and dedication to our mission.
