Letter From the President Joe Neal, 2010 Summerville Neighborhood Association President Dear Families, Friends, and Neighbors,
with a night of drinks, dancing, socializing, and a silent auction to benefit the Augusta Museum of History.
Welcome to the 33rd annual Summerville Tour of Homes, a veritable heritage and history Tour of Augusta’s oldest and most prestigious homes. I am honored to call Summerville home and to serve as the President of our neighborhood association.
I would like to personally thank and publicly recognize the hard work of our 2010 Summerville Neighborhood Association Board of Directors, and
Summerville, the most architecturally significant and eclectic of all neighborhoods, is the jewel of Augusta. She is a quaint village of homes filled with charm and character, where families know each other, know each other’s kids, and know each other’s pets. Summerville is where generations of Augustans have grown up, called home, or returned home to invest in the restoration of grand estates or quaint cottages. Summerville is a community of residents, ranging from artists to businessmen, doctors to lawyers, from Fairmont style mansions to Craftsman style bungalows.
especially our Tour of Homes Chairwoman, Lisa McCollum, all of whom have worked tirelessly to put this year’s Tour of Homes together. I also thank our many Tour of Homes Sponsors and Summerville businesses who advertised in the Fall edition of the Summerville Post, as well as Claffey Printing, and Mike Brown, who once again has stepped up to contribute to the public knowledge of architectural styles on display in this year’s Tour.
Like many of us, I grew up in Summerville and have called it home most of my life, having lived in and been a part of restorations of early 20th century homes at 919 Heard Ave, 2232 McDowell St., 1323 Glenn Ave., and 2240 Kings Way. Serendipity and sentimentality abound in old homes, from the excitement and mystery of finding old coins and bottles hidden under a step in my father’s home on McDowell St. to a fleeting glimpse of 1930’s life while listening to Django Reinhardt in our home on Kings Way.
I would also like to personally thank board member Jack Evans, who has donated countless hours to revamping our website and developing a high tech neighborhood alert system that keeps all of us informed and abreast of public safety issues and community events in Summerville.
So, it is with great fanfare, pride, and excitement that the Summerville Neighborhood Association Board of Directors presents to you, Friday October 22 through Sunday October 24, 2010, eight delightful and historic houses on this year’s Tour – starting with Tour Headquarters and first stop the Partridge Inn, which is celebrating its Centennial this year, and followed by the wonderful homes of Steve and Mary Howard, Mike and Sara O’Neill, Sloane Crawford, Liz and Bill Hopkins, George and Nicci Bush, Fred and Carol Palmer, and Laura Irwin and Eric Smith. The SNA Board is very grateful to these generous and hardworking homeowners, for without their Southern hospitality, this Tour would not be possible. We will begin the Tour Friday evening with Summerville’s romantic “Candle Light Tour” of three of our homes, the O’Neill’s, the Palmers, and the Irwin/Smith home, with a cash bar on the veranda at the Partridge Inn from 7 to 10 p.m. On Saturday night after the Tour, Summerville joins the Partridge Inn to Celebrate its 100th year anniversary
The Summerville Board is already looking ahead and planning for a historic year in 2011, which will be our Sesquicentennial Celebration, as Summerville was officially incorporated as a village in 1861. We have three centuries of Hill living to celebrate. After this year’s Tour of Homes is completed, I will appoint a “Summerville Sesquicentennial Committee,” which will be composed of the Summerville Neighborhood Association, the City of Augusta, Historic Augusta, Augusta State University, and the Augusta Museum of History to plan a year that I hope our city and neighborhood will remember for the next one hundred and fifty years. As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns you might have that affect our neighborhood, and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR SUMMERVILLE. See You on the Tour! Joe Neal President, SNA 706-829-6229 joenealjr@neal-law.com

Stop # 1– Tour Headquarters, The Partridge Inn 2110 Walton Way
The Partridge Inn began as a two-story house, the home of the Walton family, one of whose members, George Walton, was a Georgia signer of the Declaration of Independence. In the 19th century, New York hotelier Morris Partridge acquired the property and began a small boarding house for his Northern visitors. Within two years of opening his establishment, Mr. Partridge was already adding the first of what would be five expansions to his burgeoning venture. After extensive renovations, 60 rooms were added enabling The Partridge Inn to open as an ‘official hostelry’ on January 8, 1910. On January 9, 1910, The Augusta Chronicle reported that “Partridge Inn Opened Saturday: New Sixty Room Hostelry in Summerville Finished—Several Parties of People Expected During Week.” Today’s Partridge Inn success fully blends elegant elements of the old-South with modern amenities…

The Officers and Board of Directors of the Summerville Neighborhood Association are proud to announce in 2011 the Summerville Sesquicentennial 1-201 6 1 8 1
While not incorporated as a separate community until 1861 (with boundaries being a circle with a onemile radius from Gould’s Corner -Walton Way and Milledge Rd.), Summerville was occupied before the turn of the 19th Century. Early residents included George Walton (signer of the Declaration of Independence, solider, senator, governor, and judge), John Milledge (soldier, governor, represenÂtative, and senator), Lord and Mrs. Sandwich (who ran Mount Salubrity School) and Thomas Cumming (patriarch of the Cumming clan of Augusta Canal and Mayoral fame), who welcomed General George Washington to the City of Augusta in 1791. ~ Source: Summerville Cemetery, Augusta, Georgia, 1990

Stop # 2 – T he Home of Steve and Mary Howard 2103 McDowell Street
The Howard home was built circa 1909 as part of “Hickman Estate” and originated as a carriage house, one of three “Sister Houses” built for a trio of daughters. It is typical of the vernacular late-Victorian era cottage, when materials and construction techniques were more limited to local materials and knowledge. Stories differ on the origins, but in the early days, the downstairs was a carriage house, while the primary living area was upstairs. One would have to walk outside to access the lower level before the 1970’s renovations, and locals recall that an area of the downstairs had a dirt floor as recently as the late 1960’s. Many changes have occurred in the original structure, including the addition of a second stairway by the Buck family in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s. The two original downstairs entry doors are enclosed by louvered shutters and the original doors are covered by walls inside…

Stop # 3 – T he Home of Mike and Sarah O’Neill 1103 Milledge Road
The O’Neill home at 1103 Milledge was built in 1896 and is a grand example of Victorian architecture and craftsmanship which f its squarely within the southern version of the Free Classic Queen Anne style popular during the late Victorian Era. The O’Neill home features the use of classical columns as porch supports, situated on masonry pedestals, which can surprisingly be found in a third of Queen Anne style homes built in the US. This style, popularized by 18th century English architects, features a second-story cantilevered polygonal bay (meant to resemble the towers popular on high-style Queen Anne structures), as well as a hipped roof with protruding cross-gables on the north and south elevations. In addition, the use of multiple exterior siding treatments typically seen in Victorian era homes is evidenced by the random wooden shingle siding on the upper story and the stucco on the first story and foundation…

Stop # 4 – T he Home of Sloane Crawford 1427 Johns Road
Built between 1918 and 1934, this bungalow style home has been owned since 2006 by Ms. Sloane Crawford. This home is an example of the folk-form gable-ell cottage with a twist, having been beautifully transformed from it’s simple vernacular style by borrowing features from other styles of the period, and details found in the Summerville neighborhood. The street façade has been adorned with an Italianate rounded-arch hood bracketed on each side for stability, an unobtrusive cover from the elements. The crux of the ell is filled-out with a pergola-inspired porch with supports similar to those on Arts and Crafts era homes found on McDowell Street, Kings Way, and Heard Avenue. Exterior features are rounded out with colonial-era quartersawn siding, six-over-six windows, and gable returns…

Stop # 5 – The Home of
Bill and Liz Hopkins 2710 Walton Way
Built in 1917, this Willis Irvin home is a classic example of Italian Renaissance Revival of the Eclectic Period, circa 1890 to 1935. The house was originally built for the Ernest Merry family, who were in the local brick business. Italian Renaissance style, with its ornate architectural details, was popular in the Hill area at the early part of the 20th century. The Hopkins home illustrates the details for which Irvin is known such as the deep-bracketed eaves, the detailed first story arched windows and doors, open floor plan with rooms separated by columns, and multiple fireplaces with ornate brick detailing. The low-pitched hipped roof topped by clay tiles is a hallmark of this architectural style. The exposed pergola rafter tails on the east and west porches, and the engaged columns across the lower façade, complete the Italian Renaissance look…

Stop # 6 – The Home of George and Nicci Bush 2421 Walton Way
Designed by well known architect Willis Irvin and built by J.C. Stockton in 1937 for Phillip Mulherin, MD, the Bush home is a classic example of Regency Revival architecture. Regency Revival was an evolution of the Adam style of architecture which originated in England, popular from the late 1800s through the 1950s. Exterior Regency features on the home include quoins along the corners of the house, heavy dentils under the almost nonexistent eaves, a pyramidal hipped roof, and a pedimented, recessed entry way flanked by fluted pilasters. The gas lighting aligning the front walk of the home is also characteristic of the Regency Period and provides soft lighting against a river pebble circular drive beneath crepe myrtle trees…

Stop # 7 – The Home of
Fred and Carol Palmer 2333 Walton Way
One of Willis Irvin’s earliest designs, 2333 Walton Way is one of two high style Italian Renaissance (1890-1935) homes on the tour this year. The house was built in 1917 by the Paul Mustin family, who were respected merchants in the Augusta community. Inside the home you will find on display a copy of an Augusta Chronicle article that was written about the house the year it was built. The construction of the home was largely of hollow tile with a white stucco finish. Irvin selected an adaptation of several Italian styles. The broad brick and tile terraces, low pitched roof, general mass and details suggests a country villa of old Italy. The large windows give a maximum amount of light and air to the rooms necessary for the requirements of our own Southern culture. The house displays a symmetrical façade with a low-pitched hipped roof with wide overhanging eaves…

Stop # 8 – The Home of Laura Irwin and Eric Smith 728 Milledge Road
Known as the “John Forsythe Home,” the original home was occupied by the Forsythe family and dates to at least 1818. This house is a classic example of one of the earliest styles built in Summerville that became known as the Sand Hills Cottage, and as such, became the symbol for the current Summerville neighborhood flag. The Sand Hills vernacular style, like many others of the Antebellum Period, borrows from preceding styles. The house was built with a full front porch, front facing dormers projecting from the half-story roof, exterior gable-end chimney, elevated brick foundation and a Georgian door surround comprised of sidelights and a full transom that is later found in Greek Revival architecture (1825-1860)…

Evensong at the Good Shepherd The Choral Evensong is the last event on the Tour of Homes weekend 6 PM on Sunday, October 24, at Church of the Good Shepherd, 2230 Walton Way. A reception will follow. The Church of the Good Shepherd has always been at the center of Summerville, both spiritually and physically. The congregation was chartered in 1869 and first met in the Summerville Academy building on William Street. In 1871, Artemus Gould donated the land on which the church sits, and the name “Good Shepherd” was suggested for the new parish by his son, Johnny. The original wooden structure was replaced by a more substantial brick one in 1880. That building burned in 1896, but the walls and stained glass windows, with the exception of the Altar window, were saved and used in the rebuilt church. The present structure was reconsecrated in 1898 and has been in continuous use to this day. The traditional close of the Tour of Homes will be a service of Evensong, offered by the Good Shepherd Choir. Evensong is considered be the “Crown Jewel” of all Anglican services. The order of service will be taken from the Book of Common Prayer, 1789, which was the prayer book in use at the founding of the parish. All the music will be of the period, and rendered in much the same manner as it was heard in the early days of Summerville. The service, lasting about 30 minutes, will begin at 6pm, and a reception will follow. The church’s ring of eight bells, cast at the Whitechapel Foundry in London, will be rung before and after the service.
