Announcing Summerville’s 26th Tour of Homes October 10, 11 and 12, 2003 presented by the Summerville Neighborhood Association On October 10th, 11th and 12th, the Summerville Neighborhood Association honors and recognizes the Summerville’s Twenty-Sixth Annual Fall Tour of Homes! Excitement grows for the 1st Annual Monte Sano “Rock and Stroll”. On Friday, October 10th, Monte Sano Avenue will come alive with merchants, artisans, and live music. New this year, participants can experience the tour by candlelight. The Candlelight Tour is only offered October 10th from 6-9. The tour features seven delightful homes and one exquisite garden. The Summerville Resident Art Exhibit at St. Mary’s on the Hill Catholic School will feature resident talents. Special thanks to St. Mary’s, who generously donated their beautiful facility to serve as Tour Headquarters ‘2003’. Our notable community, known as Summerville, has been important in shaping history. In 1776, George Walton, a visionary centuries ago, had foresight in recognizing the potential of Augusta. Summerville is a national treasure and is listed in The National Register of Historic Places. The most important result is the recognition it brings. Homeowners can use this recognition to raise awareness and encourage historic preservation. Thank you so much to the seven home owners who are participating, and whose homes are featured on the tour. It has been a privilege and honor to work with each and every one of you. We are excited about the diverse offering we have planned for this year. Thank you so much to all of our volunteers who have spent hours organizing the tour. Thank you to all of the local businesses and artisans for their involvement. Together, with the Summerville Neighborhood Association, we will ensure the preservation of Augusta’s rich past for future generations. Tour chairs, Kim Dorr and Donna Whaley

Letter from the President As Fall approaches, it is always fun to me to observe the mums and pumpkins start appearing on the diverse and beautiful front porches of Summerville. If you haven’t done so, it seems to make you want to hurry out to do the same. Mums and pumpkins are usually the first reminder that the highlight of fall – the annual Tour of Homes – will soon be here! Our tour chairs, committee, and gracious homeowners have been working hard and have assembled an incredible tour this year. They are to be commended for bringing back the Candlelight tour on Friday evening, their creativity in adding the “Monte Sano Rock and Stroll,” and the addition of an art exhibit to feature the talent of neighborhood artists. What great ideas to involve everyone in what will be a great weekend of activities in our neighborhood! The proceeds from the Tour, along with membership dues, go right back into neighborhood enhancements that benefit us all, so please show your support by being part of the Tour weekend. We cannot continue the good work that affects your property value for the better without your help – help us help our neighborhood. This year, the Board has continued its work being proactive on historic preservation issues as they arise, continuing dialogue with ASU regarding their campus changes, and tackling beautification projects at the Appleby Library and Hickman Park. Annual donations have been made to benefit numerous projects from membership dues and Tour proceeds. Membership has seen a tremendous increase this year, which should be a good indicator that Summerville residents support their neighborhood association. I challenge every single member to get involved. Volunteer a little of your time with the Tour or any other area of interest. You are needed! On behalf of the SNA Board of Directors, please join us in enjoying the 2003 Tour of Homes brought to you by your friends and neighbors! Cheryl Grace President, Summerville Neighborhood Association

SNA Establishes Appleby Library and Gardens Fund Efforts to preserve the history and beauty of the Appleby Library continue with the establishment of the Appleby Library and Gardens Fund established by the Summerville Neighborhood Association. The donation of a large fountain by Louise Mulherin inspired SNA Board Member, Julia Barrett, to create a plan to further beautify the landscaping of the library. Plans to install the fountain with a surrounding pool on the library’s front lawn and build an arbor at the rear of the property are estimated at twelve thousand dollars. The columns on the arbor match the existing columns on the library. Gifts in memoriam or honorarium are being accepted by the Summerville Neighborhood Association, as well as general donations and in-kind support. The SNA Board of Directors has committed to matching all funds raised for the fountain and the arbor. Future projects include restoration of the deteriorating side building (which used to house the house’s kitchens) and ongoing landscaping and maintenance of the property. For more information, please contact board members Julia Barrett or Lara Plocha.
Great News for Hickman Park!
Historic District Design Guidelines
After a brief closing for some refurbishing, Hickman Park is open with new hours and staffing by Richmond County Recreation and Parks Department. The park house has been thoroughly cleaned with newly buffed shiny floors and fresh paint. The park house is in the process of being stocked with new games for all to come inside and enjoy. Plans are in the works to continue improvements outside with additional landscaping enhancements and possibly more playground equipment. A staff person of the Recreation Department is on duty Monday through Friday from 2 to 7 pm. The Summerville Neighborhood Association and the Recreation Department are jointly funding the position. An adult should accompany children under eight (8). Plan to come by and enjoy YOUR park. The park and park house are open to everyone. If you have suggestions for additions or improvements for the park, send them via email at www.summervilleaugusta.com.
The Summerville Historic District Design Guidelines, based on an extensive study of Summerville’s historic district, is filled with pictures of Summerville homes, interesting facts about our local architecture and helpful tips for maintaining and rehabilitating older homes.

The home of Russell and Dorothy Moores 2204 Kings Way
Candlelight Tour
In the summer of 1924, Mrs. Frankie C. Doughty, widow of the late cotton factor Llewellyn G. Doughty of 2321 Kings Way, went down the street a few short blocks and had Willis Irvin design her “widowhood home.” It is a classic of the Spanish Colonial style. Mr. Irvin’s plans from June 1924 will be available at the house during the tour. There have been but four owners: Mrs. Doughty until 1930, Mrs. Gladys J. Hardwick from 1930-1951, Henry and Maria Bredenberg from 1953-1964 and Dorothy and Russell Moores since July of 1965. For years after we bought the house, we would hear “Oh, you all live in the Bredenberg house.” “No dammit, we live in the Moores house.” The house is known as the Albatross. When we bought our first (and only) house in the summer of 1965, Dorothy wanted a new ranch style house out in the country and Russell wanted an old house in town. We were very young and very poor; we could not get a second mortgage on a house in the country, but could on an old house in town, so Russell got his old house on the Hill. Dorothy hated it and sat and cried as they moved our furniture in, likening it to an Albatross around her neck (confer Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”). It has been “The Albatross” ever since. Mrs. Doughty added an addition to the back of the house almost immediately, a screened-in porch on the first floor and a sleeping porch on the second. These are now the breakfast room and the bedroom respectively. The Moores’ added a large room with a basement coming off of the breakfast room toward Milledge Road in 1967, which is still known as the "new room." The covered patio on the uphill side of the house was enclosed in 1974 and is known as the “porch room.” It is now shared by parrots and canaries (in cages) and the Victorian wicker furniture (not in cages). The brick wall around the yard was put up in 1950s by the Brededbergs out of bricks from an old downtown warehouse which they had owned and had torn down. During the spring and summer months of 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the grounds and entryway from the street were completely redone by the Atlanta landscape architect Darryl Moores (second son) and his Mexican, Guatemalan and Brazilian crews from Atlanta. The contents of the house comprise a collection of diverse, much loved things: majolica, old (working) telephones, Hummel figurines, old (working) clocks, oriental carpets (some old, but most only somewhat old), old (working) oil lamps and whale oil lamps, old (working) electric lamps, paintings, many by local artists, and a few interesting pieces of furniture.

The home of the Dennis-King family 2429 Williams Street
Candlelight Tour
Built in 1890’s, this residence is a raised, 21/2 -story structure built in the Queen Anne style. The home features a cross-gable slate roof, combination siding of very heavy stucco on the first floor and heart pine shingles in a decorative pattern on the second floor, double-hung sash windows, and a partial width wrap-around porch with round columns grouped in units of three resting atop stucco pedestals. Purchased by the current owners and their three children in 2000, the property has been extensively renovated. Major items completed on the exterior include removal of encroaching vegetation; slate roofing replacement and cooper roofing installation. Work on a landscape plan has begun, including the installation of a boundary-defining fence. Inside, utility systems have been replaced; the kitchen and bathrooms have been gutted and reworked; and, cabinetry was installed in the butler’s pantry and library in keeping with the homes historic character.

The home of Dr. and Mrs. David Bogorad 2509 Walton Way
Candlelight Tour
In 1868, Benjamin F. Hall (1823-1874) built this classic second French Empire home at the corner of what is now Fleming Avenue and Walton Way. Elements of this style included a concave mansard silhouette roofline with decorative patterned metal shingles and brackets beneath the caves. Originally, there was no indoor kitchen. Instead, there was a detached cook house in the back yard. The original owner was Assistant Postmaster and money order clerk. The second owner was a traveling circuit court judge named Hook. The third owners were Wadley/Clark (related) families. The fourth owners were Ben and Beverly Weathers, who restored the home from 1989-1991. Prior to this restoration, the home had fallen into a state of despair, having suffered a fire in the back of the house in the 1980’s. The Bogorads purchased the house in 2001 and have performed additional work including a restoration of the shed on the back lot, with a new roof. The kitchen is entirely new and the plumbing in one of the upstairs bathrooms has been restored to Victorian style. The bedrooms upstairs have new and modified window treatments. The chandeliers in the parlor and dining room have been replaced, and the lower level walkout has been converted into a home theatre. The Bogorads are thrilled to live in this unique piece of Augusta history.

The home of Doug and Diane Murphy 2501 Bellevue Avenue
Candlelight Tour
Built in 1916, 2501 Bellevue Avenue was the last of three adjacent houses built by the same builder along the then Sandy Lane. According to a newspaper notice at that time, the house rented for $60 a month. In its nearly 90 years of existence, only five owners have occupied the home: Dr. and Mrs. Robert L. Rhodes (19161971), Mr. Griswold Collier (1972-1975), Mr. and Mrs. Carter Brown (1975-1976), Mr. And Mrs. Richard Crawford (1977-2001), and since 2002, Mrs. and Mrs. Douglas Murphy. In 2001, Mrs. Jackie Hogan of Hogan Renovations purchased the home from Mrs. Crawford and began restoration. The extensive renovations, all in keeping with the age and style of the house, included restoring the original mahogany trim, heart- pine floors and seven fireplaces. The tile in the living room fireplace is original while the dining room and parlor tiles are recent reproductions. Each downstairs fireplace mantle is different with individually detailed molding. On the other hand, the upstairs mantles are all the same. During that era, this was typically done as a cost saving measure. The same is true of the brass hardware downstairs and copper upstairs. While early twentieth-century exposed beams add character to the entrance porch, new cabinets, wood flooring, counters and appliances give the kitchen a bright fresh look. Never having owned an old home, the Murphy’s fell in love with its charm. Originally from New York, they moved here from Greensboro, North Carolina, where they resided for the past 17 years. After looking in many areas of Augusta, Summerville and its historic charm was where they wanted to call home. Head Hostess: Michele Benedict 12

The guest cottage and garden of Betsy Eisner and Louise Gissel Eisner 1112 Glenn Avenue
Candlelight Tour
Although the owners of the Tudor Revival home located at 1112 Glenn Avenue knew the first time they saw their house that it was the one they had been waiting for, they got additional support for their decision to purchase, when they discovered the large detached stucco garage in the back yard. And “discover” they did, since some of the 50 or more overgrown camellias originally standing between the small back porch and the garage had completely blocked that building from view. The former garage built, as was the house, in 1929, by a local plumbing contractor, Mr. Henry Erbelding, has been converted from an oversized dirt floor gardener’s shed into a guest cottage for the benefit of family and friends. The former driveway has been enclosed behind a privacy fence to create a small garden, which attracts many butterflies and hummingbirds to delight the owners and amuse their three cats.

The home of Joseph R. Neal Jr. 1323 Glenn Avenue
Candlelight Tour
Mr. Neal purchased the charming cedar bungalow at 1323 Glenn Ave. on August 30, 2002. It is said that William Robinson himself once inhabited this cozy, quaint and warm house, which was built in 1913, along with the houses at 1325 and 1327 Glenn Ave. The original owners of these three bungalow houses were closely knit families who moved up “the hill” from the downtown area to escape the Savannah River floods in the early 20th Century. The main house has three bedrooms and two baths, while the guest cottage in the rear has two bedrooms and one bath. The second floor of the main house was converted into an apartment during the Great Depression, but now serves as five-year old Joseph III’s room. Since purchasing this house, the Neal’s have breathed new life into the home through extensive, ongoing renovations. The current project involves refurbishing the Butler’s Pantry to include a wet-bar and a wine cellar. A landscaping project of the entire estate will follow. The families at 1323 and 1325 Glenn Avenue continue to share dinners, stories and good times, as did the original inhabitants of these three bungalow houses. History is still alive and well on this part of Glenn Avenue.

The home of Bob and Dorothy Williams 1314 Glenn Avenue
The renovation, as you drive down the 1300 block of Glenn Avenue, you might miss the 1930’s craftsmen stucco cottage tucked back amongst the Chinese maple and old oak tree. If you saw it, you might have noticed the fabulous L-shaped front porch, multi-gabled roof, and the tapered window and the door frames on the front of the house. You can also see an earlier renovation in the early 50’s that the integrity of the craftsmen design was jeopardized with the addition of a modern flat-roofed brick master suite. The home was a treasure to find, although it was in dire need of attention and love. The interior has been completely stripped to the stud walls. This old house will receive new electrical, plumbing, bathrooms, and kitchen. The addition of a master suite that respects the original craftsman design will compete the renovation. The work is expected to be finished in the spring of 2004.
