A bird’s eye view of Bellamy Mansion Museum. Less than a month later, the unthinkable happened. An arsonist set fire to the mansion, causing extensive damage to the interior. Luckily, a passer-by saw the fire, and the fire department arrived in time to extinguish the blaze. No charges were ever filed, but many locals believed the incident stemmed from a highly charged atmosphere in local race relations. Bellamy Mansion, Inc., after being in existence for less than a month, would now have to drastically rethink its plan. Once only prepared to make ordinary repairs, the foundation would now have to take on a major restoration effort of the mansion. With extensive and

Leslie N. Boney, Jr. and Lillian Bellamy had their wedding reception at the mansion. For a long time, three cousins (Lillian Bellamy Boney, Emma Bellamy Williamson, and Hugh MacRae II) focused on making essential repairs, and amazingly, the mansion survived through turbulent times and signiﬁcant change in the city. In the early 1970s, the trio decided that the best way to preserve the house would be to create a charitable corporation, Bellamy Mansion, Inc. Owners Emma and Lillian donated their interests to the organization, which was ofﬁcially incorporated in February of 1972. (Top) Lillian Bellamy Boney (Above) Hugh MacRae II 4

Not! a little knowledge. Would you take your car engine apart TV shows like This Old House and Extreme Makeover without first taking an auto mechanics course? Then, why haven’t helped on this subject, either. They report that would you jump into a home renovation without doing some reading, attending sessions, talking to friends with experience, historic renovation is so expensive. Compared to what, new construction? Unless an old building is seriously deteriorated or spending some time on-line? Oh, you had no idea that or very small, the facts suggest otherwise—and have for years. your town had zoning restrictions? You hadn’t consulted an electrician (or even a good book on the subject) before cutting Renovation is consistently less expensive (whether a home live wires? Maybe “uninformed” is too kind a description. or a school or a downtown building) than new construction, I shouldn’t be surprised at the news stories. After all, bad news sells. I’m wrapping up the renovation of a 1937 house in the historic Cameron Park neighborhood in Raleigh, and it’s been a real pleasure. Actually, it’s been a kick! Plenty of hard work, to be sure, but loads of satisfaction. I bought a “student slum” and let the house tell me what it wanted. I put doors and windows back where they belonged, and the resulting light and ventilation have been terrific. I opened up an enclosed porch and found two 28-inch-square granite columns that had been concealed for a half century. I had hoped that I would find them, but their pristine state was cause for repeated celebration. Of course, with a home renovation you earn the right to complain about how bad the condition was and how much work was involved—and how much it cost. But, goad an old house renovator to tell you about the pleasures, and the stories, perhaps less newsworthy, will usually spill out. There aren’t many things that match the joy of reviving a historic house—and knowing that your hard work was for something that matters.

Are we just too busy?

Maybe one of the reasons we don’t hear about the old-house renovators the way we used to is that people’s lives are so

and maintenance and operational costs are less, according to several substantive studies. Recently I’ve observed (and even approved for covenant purposes) the demolition of 1970s and 1980s additions on historic houses. The materials for the additions haven’t stood the test of time. Ask an old house owner: do you have more problems with your additions or the historic house? I’m betting on the former. Solutions from the Internet

I learned of a great use for Diet Coke in this renovation: removing mastic from floors. I soaked towels with Diet Coke, put them on the floor, and after an hour, removed the mastic with remarkable ease. I didn’t do a scientific test to see whether other sodas would work as well. Why Diet? So the floors wouldn’t be sticky and attract ants. The technique saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. Learned it from the Internet! Better than the Ultimate Recycling

In the 1980s, Preservation North Carolina started using the slogan “Historic Preservation: The Ultimate Recycling.” Now you see the phrase in use all over the country. Historic preservation is actually better than that. The conservation mantra is: “Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.” You don’t hear much about the ﬁrst two, which are actually the more powerful components of resource conservation.

Throughout the process, I decided in many cases to just reuse rather than replace. It’s been fun to watch reactions to my 1937 kitchen sink. Some folks come in and ask me what kind of new sink I’m going to buy. Oops. Others get very excited about the old sink and its practicality and durability. It reminds me of my long-deceased aunt’s sink in her 1930s house, so there’s been an added sentimental bonus for me. And then, there’s the 1957 pink sink. A Crane Elayne with Drexel handles. Very cool. I’m proud to say that I didn’t need to get a dumpster for a total rehabilitation job. Celebrate your victories wherever you ﬁnd them. Can’t Outsource Renovation

Jobs, jobs, jobs. Preservation should be on the economic front line. You can’t outsource renovation. I recently visited the conversion of a textile mill into housing, and the place was teeming with workers. Ever watched a new motel get built out near an interstate exit? It happens almost overnight. The job’s almost like putting together a pre-fab kit, some of which comes from abroad, and it doesn’t take too much skill to assemble. Not so with renovation. Everything has to be done on site by skilled tradesmen. My home renovation employed the equivalent of two full-time people for a full year. Most of the workers who labored on my home were college graduates who loved their work and took great pleasure in the achievement. Their work will probably outlive them, unlike the new motel. Locavores, preservationists unite

I’ve been watching with interest the surge in interest in local foods, and I don’t think being a locavore is too far from being a preservationist. Both involve taking advantage of local resources, creating local jobs, reducing waste and pollution, and savoring the accomplishments of local artisans. Local is key to both. We need to strengthen the connection. Green?

We’re the “real thing.” Preservation is green, sustainable, and authentically so. During this renovation process, I encountered numerous opportunities to buy “green” widgets that would end up in the landﬁll in ten years. By my math, purchasing a slightly less efﬁcient and much simpler air conditioning system that will last much longer was environmentally superior to getting the much more expensive version with all the electronic bells and whistles that are going to fail within a decade. When you account for the added energy consumed in the manufacturing process, longterm durability wins in my book. Actually what really works environmentally? Reducing. There’s that word again. Cutting back on the use of air conditioning trumps all the fancy

SPRING 2012

For my recent renovation, I found a terriﬁc young carpenter who adopted the spirit of “reduce” and “reuse.” When he opened up the porch, he reused the studs and moldings in other rooms. These 60-year-old parts were better than what you’d buy today. Many carpenters would have said that it’s easier and cheaper to just buy new studs and toss the old ones. Oh, really? In the time that it would have taken to go get new materials (while the time clock is running and mileage accumulating), you could pull the nails and be well on your way with the next project.

electronic gadgetry. Getting into a habit of opening up the windows at night, turning on the quiet new whole-house fan, and shutting down the house in the morning has led to power bills that would be the envy of almost anyone. Synchronicities

In The Not So Big Life, Sarah Susanka writes about the importance of watching for synchronicities (coincidental events that seem connected) that come our way and taking advantage of them. In this renovation process, I had three opportunities land in my lap, and they saved me thousands of dollars, resulted in a superior end-product, and added amusing stories to the history of my new home. When the buyers of my former home informed me that they were going to tear down the 1949 garage, I asked them if I could have it. They graciously agreed. No, I don’t believe in “saving everything,” but I knew that the garage was well built and would otherwise end up in the landfill. Their demolition contractor figured that it would be no more expensive to move it than to tear it down and haul it to the dump. In the moving process, however, a strap broke, and the roof of the garage plunged about ten feet to the ground. You’ve heard about those nightmares, haven’t you? The roof structure was so well built that it sustained no damage. After a few minutes of contemplating what to do, the contractor put a new strap around it and carried on. Based on cost estimates for a new garage, I saved at least $10,000. My “new” garage has quite a story, and I have the photos to prove it. By the way: yes, my former home was indeed sold with PNC protective covenants! And the garage was not a contributing feature of the property. Over the years, my downstairs back porch had been enclosed with plywood and Plexiglas. The landlord probably got tired of windows being broken. So as I turned my attention to the back porches, I started on a search for steel casement windows, since that’s a feature of the house itself. After probing here and there, a neighbor-architect told me of a building with steel casement windows that would be torn down in a matter of weeks. I inquired about whether I could salvage them, and the owner was extremely pleased that they would be reused. When I did the measurements, I was shocked. The windows would fit the space to a “T.” My carpenter enjoyed the challenge of salvaging and reusing the windows, and the results are stunning. Estimated savings over using new windows of good quality: about $25,000. Again, my “new” windows come with a story. And in a third instance, I learned that the new buyers of my former home were going to take out the tile kitchen countertops that I installed about ten years ago. No problem. Nothing historic. Again, I asked if I could have them. They happily said yes. My carpenter removed the countertops, and I laboriously “harvested” the tile. The colors go great with the pink bathroom sink. I couldn’t have asked for a better color combination—how’s that for synchronicity! It’s been a treat to do this old house. Reduce, reuse, recycle has been my mantra, and preservation is just that. The house has told me what it wants, I’ve listened, and it hasn’t done me wrong yet.

PNC Awards Recognize Preservation Achievements Statewide

reservation North Carolina’s 2011 honor awards recognized individuals and organizations who have made outstanding contributions to the ﬁeld of preservation. The winners were announced during Preservation NC’s conference in Mount Airy in September.

Tim Buchman

Ted Alexander (l) accepts the Stipe Award from Eddie Belk (r), PNC Chair.

Rehoboth Church, one of many projects funded by the Covington Foundation The winner of the RUTH COLTRANE CANNON AWARD was the Marion Stedman Covington Foundation of Greensboro. Through the years, The Covington Foundation has supported hundreds of preservation-based projects. Since 1986, the Covington Foundation has given nearly $2.9 million to support preservation projects in North Carolina. Some of the many projects funded by the Covington Foundation include: efforts to initiate historic preservation courses at UNCCH, NCSU and UNCG; funds to revise, update and manage the PNC website; and challenge grants to help several local organizations raise valuable dollars to support special projects, from Rosenwald Schools to special collection museums. Grants have helped save critically important structures throughout the state, from buildings at the John C. Campbell Folk School and Penland School of Crafts in the mountains, to the Ward Hancock House in Beaufort and the former Bath High School in Bath along the coast. The Foundation also supports PNC’s Stedman Incentive Grant, given since 1976 in memory of Mrs. Covington’s father to assist non-proﬁt organizations in their preservation efforts. Ted Alexander was awarded the ROBERT E. STIPE PROFESSIONAL AWARD, the highest award presented to North Carolina professionals who demonstrate outstanding commitment to historic preservation. 8

Much of Ted’s contribution to historic preservation in North Carolina is rooted in the foothills, in and around Shelby, not far from his hometown of Morganton. It is here that Ted has worked for years to protect landmark properties, in addition to his extensive work with the Main Street Program through his directorship of the Uptown Shelby Association.

As the director of Preservation North Carolina’s Western Office, based in Shelby, Ted has worked for six years with property owners throughout the region to help solve problems and ensure the preservation of significant landmarks. As Mayor of Shelby, Ted has continued to protect our historic legacies, while serving on several boards, and working with advocacy groups. Ted has long exemplified the old-fashioned virtues of citizenship and civic pride. The L. VINCENT LOWE, JR. BUSINESS AWARD recognized the outstanding efforts of Gene Rees of Mount Airy. Gene was the first developer in North Carolina to apply the federal and state tax credits in a pass-through structure that allowed the buyer of the property to benefit from the tax credit. Gene successfully Rodney Swink (l), PNC Vice sold out both Renfro Lofts Chair, presents Gene Rees (r) with in Mount Airy and Key City the Lowe Award. Condominiums in North Wilkesboro at completion of construction, creating residential condominium developments that are predominately owneroccupied. The combined tax base on these properties totals over $14 million. Gene continues to creatively utilize historic properties, and his retail clothing stores have been an anchor for retail sales in the Mount Airy Historic District for over 50 years. He also successfully used tax credits for two major renovation projects in the district: the Smith Building and Market Street.

The Plymouth Small Town Main Street Committee received the $10,000 STEDMAN INCENTIVE GRANT for the PicotArmistead-Pettiford House in Plymouth.

SPRING 2012

The MINNETTE C. DUFFY LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION AWARD went to Duke University in Durham for its restoration of the Roney Fountain. This fountain was moved from an obscure location to become a focal point for the rose garden at Sarah P. Duke Gardens.

Preservation NC also presented twelve GERTRUDE S. CARRAWAY AWARDS OF MERIT to individuals and organizations demonstrating signiﬁcant preservation efforts. Contemporary Art Museum in Raleigh for its commitment to preservation and sustainable building practices, as evidenced through creating a museum and educational facility in the Warehouse District. Edgecombe Community College in Tarboro for its Historic Trades Preservation Program, which has educated professionals and interested preservationists about the proper methods for restoring or renovating historic properties. Heather Fearnbach of Winston-Salem, for her commitment to preservation as a professional and a volunteer, and for educating future preservationists at Salem College and UNC Greensboro. Heather and Tom LaGarde & Margaret Jemison of Saxapahaw for the renovation of the Haw River Ballroom and The Eddy Pub and Restaurant. Historic Charlotte for the Save Our Signs Fund, which raised awareness, created a business plan for new uses of vintage signs, and made grants available to process signs for Local Landmark Status as well as restore vintage signs. Jay Miller and the Shared Visions Foundation in Chapel Hill, for the renovation of the Murphey School in Orange County. John Morris of Raleigh, for his blog, Goodnight Raleigh, which raises the proﬁle of historic preservation issues through researched posts, impassioned calls to action, and striking photographs. Pembroke Hall Preservation Partners, in Edenton, for their work to preserve Pembroke Hall, a notable Greek Revival Style landmark.

The Picot-Armistead-Pettiford House is identiﬁed in the National Register of Historic Places, and has an interesting history: built in 1814 by Dr. Julian Picot, a Frenchman thought to be Plymouth’s ﬁrst medical doctor, and is rumored to have been used by the Underground Railroad—although uncertainties have arisen about that because the Civil War Era owners (the Armisteads) had slaves. Another point of note in the House’s history occurs in 1914, when Jane Brinkley, a white Plymouth resident, sold the house to Reuben Pettiford, a black brick mason—an unusual transaction for that time in the American South. During the Pettiford’s ownership, the house served as a boarding house and hotel for African-Americans.

Gwen and Bill Reid of Hillsborough, for their restoration of Burnside Coachman’s Quarters, one of few former slave houses in the area. Eddie and Jo Allison Smith of Greenville, for their restoration of Grimesland Plantation, the Pitt County ancestral home of the Grimes family and General Bryan Grimes, noted North Carolina Civil War General. Western Ofﬁce, NC Department of Cultural Resources in Asheville, for the rehabilitation of the Oteen Veterans Administration Hospital. Chris and Kathy Wilson of Wilmington for their years of preservation projects and generosity in eastern North Carolina.

The Stedman Incentive Grant will be used to make roof repairs that are needed immediately.

his pair of 18th century houses is located on Salmon Creek in northeast North Carolina. By water, the setting is two miles from the historic town of Edenton; by land, it is ten miles from Edenton. Salmon Creek is a deep-water creek 910—15 feet in depth) that flows into the Albermarle Sound, the largest freshwater sound in the world. It also was the home of the first permanent settler in North Carolina, Nathaniel Batts, who moved to Salmon Creek in 1665. The property is located off U.S. Highway 17 in Bertie County midway between Windsor and Edenton. The Ward-Bass House, built 1770-1810, was constructed in two parts and reflects both Georgian and Federal influences. The earlier Georgian room has raised panel wainscoting, all original doors with H-L hinges and a magnificent mantel and over mantel. The Federal room, built in 1810, has a beautiful Federal mantel, recessed panel wainscoting and raised panel doors. The Ward-Bass House has 1,600 square feet of living space, including kitchen, living room, breakfast room, two bedrooms, two baths, and an upstairs den. The White-Lilly House connects to the Ward-Bass House. It is also a late 18th century house. The White-Lilly House contains 650 square feet of living space, including living, bed, bath, utility, and sleeping loft. It reflects a more yeoman lifestyle. However, with exposed beading ceiling joists, an arched mantel and flush panel sides, the house has Colonial charm rarely found. Each house has its own heating and cooling systems, as well as a separate hot water system. The houses are connected by dining and utility rooms. Both houses have a porch with a view of Salmon Creek, and 75–100 feet of the acreage is waterfront. Because of the accessibility of deep Salmon Creek, boats can easily be launched from the property. The Salmon Creek area is a rural farming community and is 90 miles from Norfolk, Va; 85 miles from Nags Head, NC; and 110 miles from Raleigh, NC.
