NTHP Overview and Introduction

O u r C o o r d i n at o r s The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a private, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to protecting the irreplaceable. Recipient of the National Humanities Medal, the National Trust was founded in 1949 and provides leadership, education, advocacy, and resources to save Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse historic places and revitalize communities. New Buildings Institute (NBI) and the Preservation Green lab (PGL) of the National Trust for Historic Preservation have joined together to develop tools and strategies to better understand current building performance and simplify the path forward into deep savings. This initiative is called Getting to 50 (GT50) - a target of 50% savings for existing buildings. GT50 will enable deep energy savings (40% to 60%) by disseminating best practices and technical tools to support building upgrades. NBI is leading the national effort, conducting the technical analysis and tool development. These tools and strategies will help the market better understand current building performance and simplify the path to deep savings. PGL is providing experience on the existing buildings database and helping connect the tool to the marketplace. A major focus of this work is characterization of the existing building stock smaller than 50,000 square feet - the large majority of buildings by number, but an overlooked segment of the building stock due to the diversity of physical building types, ownership patterns, and other factors. This segmentation will prove useful to policy-makers trying to understand the potential for deep energy savings in an underserved market sector. Additionally, the research will aid in the development of design tools that can respond to the unique characteristics of small buildings. PGL has identified a set number of building typologies of interest and has defined these typologies to the extent that existing data allows. The final step in this segmentation effort is a national survey of the selected building typologies, with a target of One Thousand (1,000) buildings in ten geograhically distributed regions of the country. PGL is providing survey guidelines and an online submission mechanism.

About Us

1.1 The University of North Carolina at Charlotte was approached by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, requesting student surveyors to participate in a ‘nation-wide’ building survey of older, smaller, commercial and mixed-use buildings. The surveyors volunteered for the position with a return of 3 credit hours earned toward their education. All students were or currently are seeking their Masters of Architecture, “with a strong interest in building classification, preservation, building reuse and/or sustainability”. The surveyors conducted the building survey using the survey website (www.greenlabsurvey.org) in combination with a printable copy of the survey and other associated supporting documents, including a survey handbook. The course titled Graduate Preservation Green Lab (ARCH6050-T05) students we asked to create teams of two, which made six Groups including an individual volunteer for Permit Research only. The teams conducted the surveys over the Spring semester course in 2012 and was coordinated in Charlotte by a volunteer student Team Leader. Field surveys were conducted for mixed-use buildings in the area chosen districts, Elizabeth and Central, that would serve useful for evaluating Energy Retrofit Potentials. All images are original to the students in the course including, but not limited to the photograph, diagram, graph, etc., unless otherwise noted, public, or by signed waiver release. Any and/or all data is not ensured to be accurate since the data collected was retrieved by means of Internet research, library catalogs, interviews, etc. A well deserved “Thank You” goes to the surveyors and their hard work for obtaining the hard-to-find data and their great productivity throughout the semester. Congratulations to our team, we won 3rd Place in the national effort of teams from: --University of Pennsylvania --University of Kentucky --University of North Carolina --University of Texas-Austin

--School of the Art Institute of Chicago --The New School --University of Colorado-Denver --Arizona State University

The first section of this report (1-5) documents the survey collection questions published by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Information or images contained under a heading “Survey Analysis” under this section are survey results and/or analyses obtained from UNCC’s Graduate Green Lab data. Some typologies are variable across regions and the Charlotte building stock produced inadequacies for some of the building types outlined. Not every section has a district-specific or associated questions image. Chapter Six describes the Charlotte districts chosen for the survey. Specific building surveys were chosen to illustrate in this document to best depict each typology listed and described in Chapter Seven. General comments and conclusions are made in Chapter 8 with References and Notes following in Chapter 9.

Central / Plaza District 6.1 The neighborhood is historically comprised of local textile mill owners and management. Plaza Midwood is a vibrant neighborhood occupied by young professionals and established middle class families. The life of the neighborhood flourishes day and night as many shops revitalize Central Avenue as a place to congregate and hangout. At night there are numerous restaurants and bars that attract crowds to activate the social side of Charlotte.

The Oakland land company was responsible for the layout of the roads within the neighborhood.

Plaza Midwood thrived during the Great Depression and began to decline around 1950. Around 1975, the Plaza Midwood Neighborhood Association was established to protect and preserve the neighborhood. Since the mid 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the area has seen dramatic comeback as reinvestment has transformed dilapidated All-in-all, Plaza Midwood is successful as an homes into funky, urban dwellings.

Elizabeth District The Elizabeth neighborhood is just a few minutes outside of uptown Charlotte. This neighborhood is quite similar to Plaza Midwood neighborhood, but is a bit wealthier. It is assumed that Plaza Midwood, which is considered “in transition”, will end up being more similar to Elizabeth in the future.

OVERVIEW

7.0 The chosen 83 buildings were selected with a typology structure dependent upon various factors including occupant use and original built date. Typology information within both neighborhoods is quantified in Table 7.0. Each building was assigned to one of the 33 typologies (includes the 26 original NTHP types). Preliminary attempts were made to include at least one building within each typology, in addition to an even distribution between the two neighborhoods/districts; however, limited resources and time constraints only permitted what was “best available” within each district. A significant stock of “1-story Freestanding” masonry and concrete structures are built within both neighborhoods - including at least 15 buildings from the Elizabeth area and the Central District area holds at least 21 structures within the first typology. The oldest building under this survey is The Fig Tree Restaurant constructed in 1905 and a strip mall owned by the Rodgers Family is the youngest built in 1996. A total of 27 buildings were built Pre-WWII and a total of 74 buildings surveyed (89%) were built prior to 1970 - this was the NTHP preferred benchmark year because many old buildings are often the overlooked segment within the national building stock.

One-Story buildings are undoubtedly the most prevalent types of construction within the surveyed Central and Elizabeth neighborhoods. Even though more â&#x20AC;&#x153;totalâ&#x20AC;? buildings were surveyed in the Elizabeth district, its neighboring Central/Plaza Midwood district to the North exhibits a higher overall number of 1-story freestanding buildings. This typology is seen in 37% of the Elizabeth building stock (EBS) and 57% in Central building stock (CBS).

During the year 1936, the neighborhood saw the opening of Pure Oil gas station at Central and Pecan, which currently remains a historical landmark. The facility was built to resemble a small Tudor Revival cottage, complete with a steep-pitched roof and wood/stucco “half timbering.” It was part of Pure Oil’s national policy to try to fit their stations into residential neighborhoods and give this new land use an added respectability. Today, the Plaza-Midwood structure is Charlotte’s best surviving example of the company’s effort.

Building 2 was originally the Church of Christ. As the church grew another larger building was constructed to service the church needs. In 1980 the church was bought and converted into an antique store which is its current use. There is no parking for the retail antique store because of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history as a church. The doors to these two buildings are all single wooden doors with the exception of the maine entry to building 1. The main entry to building 1 on the Northwestern facade is a double glass storefront door leading into the retail antique store. One of the accessory doors of building 2 leads to a small porch to the east which is in severe disrepair.

In the 1960’s for a brief time this was a beauty shop. In the late 70’s it turned into an electronics store. Today it is a vacant building that was once American Billiards Company. This building is situated on a corner of two streets that follow the regular grid of Charlotte. The grid is about 45 degrees off due north. American Billiards has two main facades, the ones facing the streets where as the other two are more “back of house.”

With doors on the east and west facades, when open and with the help of ceiling fans there is good cross ventilation to keep the dining areas cool. There are also operable windows in the dining area on the north facade which contribute to passive cooling as well. Interior blinds on the windows of the western facade help to mitigate heat gain and glare.

There is little information available about this buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. What is known is that the building was once a post office serving the Plaza Midwood Community. The building was later converted for its current use as a restaurant. The main entry door on the West facade is a single wood door with a half glass insert. On the rear of the building on the East facade is a set of wood double doors with glass inserts that provides access to an outdoor porch area. Another door on the East facade functions as maintenance access and is a single metal door. Remodeled 2001.

The building is located on a small, triangular site sandwiched in between Central Ave. and E. 10th Street. Most of the buildings that surround this site are also older, brick buildings that have been adaptively reused. Directly behind the site is a dry cleaner. Across 10th Street is a popular, local Serbian restaurant called Intermezzo Pizzeria & Café. Finally, across Central Ave. is a family owned neighborhood coffeehouse called Central Coffee Company that also hand-makes its own pastries. It is another local favorite! The building was first built and used as an Amoco gas station (see pictures below). After it was a gas station, it was an inspection station, a car dealership, and then the current architecture studio. The brick veneer is also not original to the building – it was likely installed in the 1950s.

Originally part of Cole Manufacturing Plant, the buildings were designed by Charles Christain Hook, a local architect. The plant manufactured agricultural equipment for the cotton industry. There were originally 6 buildings on the plant. Building 1 was the Assembly Building, with the Heating Plant building to the south attached in the late 1900â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by an addition. Building 2 was the original Machine Shop. Building 3 was built in 1960 and was not one of the 6 original buildings of the plant, but was part of the manufacturing plant. The other 3 original buildings to the south and north of the Machine shop have been torn down. Parallel to the Assembly building is the Seaboard Airline Railway.

In the 1960’s this building was used as a labor union and it has had many different occupants since it was transferred to new ownership in 1991: VR King Construction, Healing Touch, Division One Financial Services, Jore Express Inc., Home Health Connection, Primerica Financial Service, Evoke Creative Group, Youth Hope, etc. There does not seem to be many plans for redevelopment of this building or the ones surrounding it. The Property managers were extremely hesitant to give out any information about the building, in fear that they would be required to retrofit it. The Charlotte Fire Department Credit Union is located southwest from this site. Located on either side of the site, as well as behind, are single-family houses, which have been converted to office uses. Northwest of the site, there is a 2007 development called Plaza Vu, which offers garden-style condos and flats.

The Visulite Theatre is located on the edge of Uptown Charlotte within 5 minutes of both I-77 and I-85, in the heart of the historic Elizabeth Community. “The Art Deco style Visulite Theater opened in the 1930s when movies became especially popular as a means of escape from the doldrums created by the Great Depression. Also, by then automobiles had become a common means of

Basement: 0

transportation, making neighborhood theaters more feasible. The theater was also on a main bus line. Two compelling events are associated with the Visulite Theater. The first was what most thought was the last trip of Streetcar 85. Mayor Ben Douglas and other dignitaries boarded Streetcar 85 in front of the theater for a “goodbye” trip to the Square in March 1938. Little did they realize that the 85 would be found in Huntersville, restored, and put back into service! The other event was less pleasant. It occurred on September 1, 1957, in the midst of the turmoil surrounding the racial integration of the Charlotte Public Schools. Hooded members of the Ku Klux Klan picketed the Visulite Theater for showing “Island In The Sun” that depicted interracial marriages.” (http://www.cmhpf.org)

On March 26, 1922, two hundred worshipers first met to organize the church. This meeting was the culmination of a series of gatherings, prayer groups and conferences of Baptists concerned with the progress of their denomination in what was then eastern suburban Charlotte. The church had begun primarily as an outreach of First Baptist Church, but the small group of pioneers were determined to accept full responsibility for establishing

Basement: 1

a new church without help from existing congregations. Just four years later, they dedicated the main sanctuary building in 1926. Currently, the church lets a family center operate from part of the building as well. From this site, across 5th Street, sits Presbyterian Hospital. Also, located across Hawthorne Ln. from this site is Presbyterian Hospital’s Blume Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Clinic. Between these two buildings, on a site located diagonally from St. John’s is a parking lot that serves Presbyterian’s employees. Located to the Southeast of the site is an educational center and King’s College. Directly next to the building on the east side is a two-story building that appears to be an embassy or some kind of international agency.

Midwood High School was a non-traditional high school in its namesake neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. The school acted as a transition program for ninth graders who struggled to meet benchmarks in eighth grade into a high school environment. Midwood had always been one of Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smaller high schools, mostly due to its small, aging physical plant. It had been used as a traditional school, a management school, a teenage parents academy, closed, a transition school and now closed again. The goal of the school was to prevent socially promoted ninth graders from dropping out. The building has been closed since 2010. A neighbor says that CMC has put the property up for lease and that they were looking for non-profit organizations to move onto the property.

In 1971 and 2003 additions to the old structure was done purely for expansion reasons. So now the newly constructed part has the administration offices, media centre and conference room, with very few classrooms. The old Structure and the new one are very well connected internally. Main entrances to the school are on the North east and south west. fire exits were mainly around the north west side of the building. The main boiler room entrance is also from north west side of the buildings. The upper level fire exits have open to sky metal staircases.

The building is located on a corner site, with tremendous road frontage and visibility on Central Avenue and The Plaza. The traffic count passing the site is approximately 30,000 vehicles per day. In addition, it is conveniently accessible from uptown and the nearby interstates. There is a church located to the north of the site. Across the street, to the west, is a branch of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library. A Harris Teeter grocery store occupies the block directly south of the site. Finally, to the east there a Tate’s Teenage/Parents School, which occupies an old church building. This building has had many different uses over its lifespan. Past occupants include a drug store (owned by Harris Teeter), a barbershop, a florist, a fabric/draperies store, and a printing store. Currently, occupants include a used bookstore, ice cream shop, art studio, Subway, a Japanese restaurant, and beauty shop. In all cases, it has remained a retail/restaurant-based building.

The Lucas House is representative of suburban development for middle-class residents in the Elizabeth neighborhood that took place prior to World War I. The house is situated across from Independence Park, one of Charlotte’s first public parks, on the corner of East 7th Street and Louise Avenue, about one mile from Center City. The interior finishes as well as the exterior have survived with original materials and are thus intact examples of the Craftsman homes constructed in the bungalow style in the early 20th century. After the house on the wedge-shaped parcel on the corner was completed in late spring or early summer, 1913, it was bought in July by John Paul Lucas for $8,500, who shortly thereafter deeded it to his wife, Alice Craft Lucas. When he bought the house John Lucas was the managing editor of the Charlotte Evening Chronicle. By 1920, he became the publicity manager for the Southern Public Utilities Company, which was later incorporated into Duke Power Company. Alice Craft Lucas was a Wilmington native, and graduated from Trinity College, now Duke University, in 1905, and was at one time the southern correspondent for the old Boston Transcript newspaper. In 1930, the Lucas family moved to a bigger house on Cherokee Road in a newer suburb, Eastover, but retained ownership of the Elizabeth house and rented it out. In 1936, it passed to the mortgageholder in a foreclosure, and in 1938 was bought by William Calhoun McIntire, who lived there with his family for some thirty years.8In 1969, Francis Gilbert Chipley bought the house from McIntire’s daughter and deeded it to his wife, Leola Plyler Chipley, the following year.9 Mr. Chipley has maintained his real estate offices, Chipley Realty Company, next door at 406 Louise Avenue, and Mrs. Chipley operated Lee’s Antiques from the house until about five years ago. In 1989, ownership of the house passed to the Chipleys’ daughter, Judith Chipley Hudson, where it was used for storage. The building was bought in 2005 and turned into a restaurant, called The Fig Tree Restaurant, which got its name from a Brown Turkey fig tree that once prospered at the rear of the house.

Door #1 is double-hinged glazed door that leads into the building from the front porch. The door was originally intended to be used as the primary entrance into the house, but after the building was converted into a restaurant this door is rarely used. The main function of this door now is as a large window that provides daylight to enter the main dining room. Door #2 is a single-hinged glazed door that was originally used as a secondary entrance into the house, but now is used as main entrance into the restaurant. Door #3 is a singlehinged opaque door located at the rear of the building and serves as a service entrance into the kitchen area. This door is restricted to the public and is mainly used by kitchen staff and delivery services.
