Making history How 1 Black family is making inroads in the largely white world of historic home renovation

By Meg St-Esprit McKivigan

A

The Washington Post

ny homeowner renovating a historic property knows there’s a possibility of discovering a surprise or two lurking behind the walls. Water damage, mildew, faulty wiring systems and more are not uncommon. But for Black homeowners, the surprises may be more than expensive or hazardous. Sometimes, they’re painful reminders of generational trauma.

ovation, Jamie created a Facebook group to keep family and friends updated. The group, Making Over a Mansion, quickly grew, and it now has more than 25,000 members from around the world. She started an Instagram account (@ making_over_a _mansion) around the same time. In addition to documenting their restoration work on the property, the family also posts about the home’s history, including interesting finds and photos of famous 19th-century guests. They are

uncovering the past in more ways than one.

The couple, whose followers have grown to love more than just the house, also share updates on their family and lifestyle. Jamie, who was an event planner before the pandemic, showcases the elaborate holiday decorations that adorn the mansion each season. In 2020, she created a business around her fun, overthe-top decor.

“I had to make a left turn, since no one was throwing parties anymore,” she says.

The Artys are not entirely sure why their story resonates with so many people, but Jamie believes one of the main reasons is that she and Frantz are Black in a home-design world dominated by White

voices - particularly when it comes to restoring older homes.

As a Black designer, Leslie Antonoff, who is the Los Angeles-based lifestyle blogger behind Hautemommie and co-host of the upcoming HGTV series “Divide and Design,” can relate. She says barriers to homeownership are one of the main reasons Black consumers don’t often undertake historic home renovation.

“If they can’t even own a home, they definitely can’t restore one,” she says. “It takes a lot of capital, and unfortunately, most Black people don’t have that.”

Antonoff sees the lack of generational wealth as a key

“For a lot of Black people, we don’t want old homes, because we don’t want the history that comes with them,” says Jamie Arty, a Long Island homeowner.

“Were they enslavers? What side of history were they on?”

Jamie, 39, and her husband, Frantz, 41, a tech engineer, are in the process of restoring a circa 1834 mansion in Oyster Bay, N.Y. When they purchased the stately Colonial-style house in 2018, they were apprehensive about its history. But they soon discovered that their new home had once been owned by a prominent New York abolitionist and judge, William Townsend McCoun.

Powdery mildew signals disease in plants

UST AS IT DOES EVERY year, a powdery white dusting is beginning to appear on the leaves of my lilac bush. Ah, if only this coloration were desirable, if we could affectionately refer to as a silvery flecking or a sparkling sheen. But no, it’s dull white and it’s a sign of disease, a disease aptly called powdery mildew.

Your lilac is also probably getting powdery mildew. And if you don’t grow lilac, you may have powdery mildew developing on your cucumber’s leaves, your rose’s leaves, or your phlox’s leaves.

At first blush, all that powdery mildew could get you nervous about its spreading from one plant to another. But fear not, the powdery mildew on each of these plants is caused by a different fungus.

The one causing lilac powdery mildew does not want to attack cucumber, the one attacking cucumber does not want to attack rose, and so on.

Powdery mildew fungi are not all that finicky about their host plants, though. The one attacking lilac, for instance, will attack catalpa, dogwood,

areas in leaves.

Diseases having the same descriptive name are not necessarily all caused by the same “germs,” not necessarily by germs that are even related to each other. Blight of pear, for example, is caused by a bacterium, while blight of peony is caused by a fungus.

them to be useful — to nearby phlox because lilac’s disease is caused by Microsphaera alni while phlox’s is caused by Erysiphe cichoracearum. In some cases, the common name may be all that’s needed to find out how to help a plant.

Figuring out what a disease is called makes for better gardening because it forces a close look at just what’s going on.

Next time something seems amiss with a plant, note first what part or parts are affected.

Then characterize the symptoms with such descriptive terms as rust, rot, dieback, canker, or leaf spot.

names. Look at those ugly spots on your tomato plants’ leaves. Alternaria solani marks leaves with dark-brown, round spots a half-inch in diameter, each surrounded by concentric rings. Septoria lycopsersici causes spots that are small, round and gray, each surrounded by a single, dark margin.

And Phytophthera infestans causes greenish-black splotches. In the case of tomato leaf spot diseases, the cure for all is the same: crop rotation and thorough garden cleanup in the fall.

The Artys may be an anomaly in traditional restoration circles, but that’s partly because of how narrowly we define historic restoration. Brent Leggs, executive director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, rejects the notion that Black Americans don’t have a role in historic preservation. “Black communities contribute to historic preservation in diverse and meaningful ways. It’s just overlooked or isn’t widely known,” he says. For many of the reasons noted by Antonoff, large-scale renovations, such as the Artys’ mansion, are uncommon undertakings for

Black people. Yet, what they’re doing is important, Leggs says, and their visibility provides needed representation.

It’s serendipitous that the Artys’ house has an uplifting history, but Leggs urges Black families to consider the importance of restoration and preservation even when that’s not the case. Black people can use restoration to center themselves in the narrative, rather than remain tertiary figures to the White history that occurred at these sites, he says. “African Americans can reclaim historic spaces and narratives to create new forms of power and healing for themselves and their community.”

factor that’s edging Black families out of the target demographic for most lifestyle and renovation markets, not a lack of interest in design.

Antonoff will co-host “Divide and Design” with her sister, designer Courtney Robinson of Materials and Methods Design.

Robinson also is familiar with being a Black woman in the White-dominated design and restoration market, and she acknowledges that Jamie will encounter challenges as she works to change the narrative.

Robinson doesn’t want that to deter Jamie, though. “Representation matters, and so her entering into this space is her opening up the door for more Black people who are into [design],” she says. “And showcase it, because there are more.

They exist.”

That is exactly why the family has been so public about bringing their home back from near destruction.

The Artys stumbled upon the mansion when they were house hunting and made a wrong turn. They pulled into a driveway to look at their map and saw the dilapidated house with a guesthouse behind it. Without going inside, they called the real estate agent listed on the sign out front and began negotiations to purchase the property, which, at the time, was entirely unlivable.

The couple were unable to obtain a mortgage on the property, so they paid $800,000 cash for the house. “We just did it blindly while the kids were screaming and crying,” Jamie says.

She wanted a fixer-upper, but she wasn’t prepared for the scope of this project. The house had stood empty for several years before the family found it; a fallen tree had left a gaping hole in the roof, and the interior was packed to the rafters with collectibles and garbage. Evidence of trespassers — candles, Ouija boards, empty beer cans and cigarette butts — littered the space.

The couple, who then had twin toddlers and a 4-yearold, renovated the guesthouse over 11 months in 2018, and

liams’s Solaria, a sunny yellow.

A portion of the expansive room was originally an outdoor space, and uncovered siding showed that it had once been a similar color. “We will just modernize it a little bit,” Jamie says. “Make it a little bit brighter, a little bit more beautiful and up to date.”

Choosing a similar color felt, to the couple, like paying respect to the home’s history.

The front living room is Sherwin-Williams’s Open Air, a cool blue. Afrocentric art adorns the walls, and white wainscoting provides visual detail to draw Courtney Robinson, designer together the massive space.

Although their main living they moved in with Frantz’s space is complete, the Artys parents while they worked have many more rooms that on the main house. In March have not yet been touched.

Enamel used for decorative flair

NAMEL HAS BEEN used to decorate metal since medieval times, creating elaborate designs on copper, silver and other metals. Early pieces made in Europe, especially pieces used in religious services, were created in ever-changing styles.

Enameled pieces for home use were rare before the 1800s. Around 1880, a few artists on the East Coast made plaques picturing nature to decorate a metal box or lid for a bowl. These pieces by artists like Gertrude Twitchel sell for thousands of dollars today.

Some art schools taught enamel craft, although by the 1930s, interest lagged. But in the 1940s and ‘50s, enameling materials were easier to work with, and art schools again gave classes.

Enameled metal bowls and ashtrays were favored gifts. Modern jewelry, vases, desk sets and even large wall plaques were made in art schools, especially in Boston, Cleveland and California.

Colorful geometric designs, flower forms and imaginative modern creatures were favored. Artists signed the enamels on the front or back if selling through a shop, but many independent artists, some amateurs, left their

work unsigned.

An 11-inch-diameter shallow bowl with a stylized picture of a rooster, fish and three large, round, thin-line designs on the front was signed “Karamu OH Hykes” on the back. It was unidentified when first offered for sale, but a Cleveland collector realized it was made by Sterling Vance Hykes (1917-1974), a talented artist teaching at Karamu, a Cleveland settlement house. His work sells for several thousand dollars This large, enameled copper plate is decorated with a stylized today. Unidentified, it would rooster, fish and three star-like designs.

Furniture adapts as baby grows

T DOESN’T TAKE long for new parents (and grandparents) to learn that baby furniture isn’t just expensive, but the little ones will outgrow it almost before it’s paid for. If you’re a do-it-yourselfer, however, this handsome nursery set provides an affordable alternative.

As a crib, this convertible crib & bed fits a standard crib mattress and features two drawers below and a cabinet above. When the baby outgrows the crib, the project converts to a junior-size captain’s bed simply by removing the cabinet, slatted sides and footboard.

The matching changing table & dresser also features two big drawers and a cabinet for plenty of storage. Even simpler to convert than the crib, the project’s removable changing top allows it to be transformed into a “big kid” dresser in a matter of minutes.

Both projects are made of oak (as pictured; almost any other wood will work), and construction is simple. First, cut out the pieces and sand everything. Next, assemble using screws, glue and dowels.

Finally, apply finish of choice and install the hardware.

The crib & bed measures about 68 inches long by 39 inches tall by 38 inches deep, and the changing table & dresser is about 47 inches tall by 31 inches wide by 18 inches deep.

As a crib, this convertible crib & bed fits a standard crib mattress and features two drawers below and a cabinet above.

When the baby outgrows the crib, the project converts to a junior-size captain’s bed simply by removing the cabinet, slatted sides and footboard.

The Nursery Set, No. C158, is $16.95 and includes both plans.
