****************************** Opening of New Exhibit at the Archives and History Center: February 9 Please join the South Carolina Department of Archives and History and the South Carolina Archives and History Foundation at the opening reception for “Nothing is more necessary... than the... Publick Records,” The Records of Proprietary Era South Carolina, 1663 – 1721. The reception will be Tuesday, February 9, 2016 from 6:00pm – 7:30pm at 8301 Parklane Road in Columbia. Hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided. For more information contact Grace Salter at GSalter@scdah.sc.gov. For over three centuries, South Carolina has held in high regard the importance of caring for its public records. The records of South Carolina’s Proprietary Era have withstood the test of time, and the best examples currently are on display at the South Carolina Archives and History Center. Visitors to this exhibit will come face-to-face with drafts of the First Fundamental Constitution of Carolina (1669), the first surviving government record (1671), and South Carolina’s First “Declaration of Independence” (1719). Also on display is the Agreement Between the Proprietors to Further Supply the Fledgling Colony (1674), which established funding for the colony for an additional four years. Visitors can see the signature of John Locke on that document, which will broaden their understanding of him as not only a highly regarded, 17th century philosopher, but also as an important part of the early colonization of South Carolina. ****************************** Grant Applications for FY 2016: Deadline February 5

Duncan Park Stadium, completed in 1926, was listed in the National Register for its significance under Criterion A in the area of Entertainment/Recreation for its long association with amateur and minor league baseball in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The stadium and surrounding park are named for Maj. David R. Duncan, president of the Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad, whose heirs donated the land on which the park was built. The first game played in Duncan Park Stadium was held on July 8, 1926 between the Spartanburg Spartans and the Macon Peaches, both of the South Atlantic League, before an estimated crowd of 2,500 spectators. Since its opening, the stadium, which includes the original grandstand, has hosted a number of minor league teams, including the Spartanburg Spartans (1929, 1938-40), the Spartanburg Peaches (1947-1955), and the Spartanburg Phillies (1963-1994). In addition, the stadium has hosted American Legion Baseball, Textile League games, and exhibition contests featuring such notables as Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey, and Jackie Robinson. Designed by noted Spartanburg architect J. Frank Collins, the covered grandstand of wood construction with steel framing opens to the field of play in five sections. The building has concrete foundation systems, wooden weatherboard siding on all sides not facing the field, and a low sloping wood roof covered with large asphalt panels. The three middle sections of the stands are trapezoidal in plan, tapering towards the field, while the outer sections are more rectangular and are nearly three times the width of one middle section. The dimensions of the playing field remain much as they were originally, though alterations have occurred through the years. A warning track was added in the early 1980s, outfield lights were first installed in 1985, and the current scoreboard dates from 2014. In 1971, 582 wooden seats taken from Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia, former home of the Philadelphia Phillies, were added to the stadium, which was then home to the Phillies’ Class A minor league affiliate. ****************************** Historic Preservation Education Foundation: Call for Proposals The Historic Preservation Education Foundation (HPEF) is currently accepting proposals for the Spring 2016 round of its Partners in Training program. Educational institutions and nonprofit organizations are invited to submit training proposals that address specialized topics associated with the technical aspects of preservation projects.

New Listing in the National Register of Historic Places Hickman Mill Historic District, Graniteville: The Hickman Mill Historic District includes two contributing buildings: the Hickman Mill, a three-story Mill building with a partial basement sited along Horse Creek that was constructed in 1900, and Hickman Memorial Hall, a two-story Neo-Classical community hall with a full basement located at the intersection of Marshall and Canal streets in the northeast corner of the site, constructed in 1908. The district also includes one contributing object, a stone obelisk dating from the late nineteenth century that is sited adjacent to Hickman Memorial Hall. The obelisk commemorates William Gregg, the founder of Graniteville Manufacturing Company. There are two non-contributing buildings: a one-story brick administrative building north of Hickman Mill along Marshall Street, and a two-story brick, former commercial building known as the Kenney Building that is located immediately south of Hickman Memorial Hall. Though historically related to the Mill and Hall, their integrity has been so compromised as to render them non-contributing. The 1846 Graniteville Mill and much of its surrounding village was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the Graniteville Historic District in 1978 and designated a National Historic Landmark the same year. The Hickman Mill Historic District is located adjacent to the NHL District and represents the expansion of the Graniteville Company in the early 20th century. It is significant under Criterion A at the local level in the areas of industry and entertainment/recreation, the latter for its association with Hickman Memorial Hall, which was a purpose-built recreation center for mill employees. The Hickman Mill Historic District is also significant under National Register Criterion C for the architectural design of the mill and memorial hall. Designed by prolific mill designers Lockwood Greene & Company, Hickman Mill is a turn-of-the-century mill building that reflects the evolution of mill design in the early twentieth century; Hickman Memorial Hall’s ornate Neo-Classical style reflects its purpose both as a monument to former Graniteville Manufacturing Company president Hamilton H. Hickman, as well as a community center for the company’s employees. While many mill company’s provided recreation centers – from baseball fields and parks to brick-and-mortar community centers – this particular version of a community center is a rare example in that the outward design also operated as a memorial to a former mill executive. Listed in the National Register February 23, 2016. ****************************** FY15 Report on Federal Tax Incentives for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings The National Park Service has released the FY15 report on the federal tax incentives for rehabilitating historic buildings. The annual report is at http://www.nps.gov/tps/tax-incentives/taxdocs/tax-incentives-2015annual.pdf. A building from downtown Florence, the Waters Building, is one of the recent projects pictured in the report. Key statistics from FY15 (October 1, 2014 – September 30, 2015) for the program include:

• 1,283 proposed projects and $6.63 billion in rehabilitation work were approved • 85,058 jobs were created by completed projects

• 23,569 new or renovated housing units were created (8,096 new low and moderate income housing units)

Architect W.B. Smith Whaley, who designed and developed textile mills throughout South Carolina, created the original designs and master plan for Inman Mills. Construction was completed in 1902 and Inman Mills played an important role in the industrial development of the town of Inman in Spartanburg County. The mill remained in constant operation from 1902 until its closure in 2001. Inman Mills was listed in the National Register of Historic Places at the local level for its significance under Criterion A for its contribution to the development of the textile industry in Inman, South Carolina during the years 1902-1958. It was also listed under Criterion C as a well-preserved example of the architecture and engineering of a major southern textile mill designed by the firm of W.B. Smith Whaley. Built in the Romanesque Revival style, Inman Mills retains its multi-story entrance tower, uniform fenestration with buttresses inserted at regular intervals, and, though the windows were bricked-in during the mid-twentieth century, the window openings remain readily apparent. ****************************** New Issue of Call & Response Now Available The Spring 2016 issue of Call & Response, the SC African American Heritage Commission newsletter is available at http://www.scaaheritagefound.org/news.html.

Since 1988 the National Trust has used the list to raise awareness of threats to some of America's greatest national treasures. Since then, the list has brought national attention to over 250 historic sites. If you know a significant historic site facing immediate threats, consider nominating it for America's 11 Most Endangered List. When considering a site, the National Trust considers a number of factors including the site's significance, whether there is a local group engaged in its preservation, the urgency of the threat the site faces, and potential solutions to that threat. The deadline for submissions is June 15, 2016.

The Miller Brothers Warehouse was built c. 1872 and was among the first commercial warehouses constructed in the city following the Civil War. It was purpose-built to serve the intertwined cotton and rail industries that propelled Columbia’s late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century economy. The warehouse’s foundation, set at a diagonal relative to Gervais Street, was specifically designed to fit between two adjacent rail lines that also ran at a diagonal relative to the street. There were once several warehouses that shared this alignment, but the Miller Brothers Warehouse is the only remaining building in the Gervais Street corridor that retains this orientation and conveys the impact of the railroad on the built environment within the district. The building continued to support the rail and cotton industries throughout the end of the nineteenth century. By 1904 the Miller Brothers Cotton Warehouse had transitioned to a wholesale grocery and would serve myriad purposes over the course of the twentieth century. The Beth Israel Synagogue on Townes Street in Greenville was listed in the National Register May 23, 2016. The building, associated originally with Orthodox Judaism, is a one-story-over-raised-basement brick-veneered building with cast stone accents that was built 1929-1930. It is located in the Stone Avenue neighborhood, which was once a center of Jewish life and culture. The Beth Israel Synagogue was listed in the National Register under Criterion A at the local level in the area of religion as an example of a public building representative of Jewish life in a southern city, and under Criterion for C as a notable example of Classical Revival public architecture designed by well-known local architect Joseph G. Cunningham. The building, which was last used as a synagogue in 1957, at which time the congregation moved to a larger building, has since undergone many subsequent uses including as a Pentecostal church, a photography studio, a labor union cooperative, and a storage facility. While Beth Israel has served many different purposes, two inlaid tile Stars of David that flank the pediment high above the front entry serve as a reminder of its original construction as a synagogue. Poinsett State Park, near Wedgefield in Sumter County, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, May 31, 2016. The two most outstanding natural features of the 1000-acre park include Shank’s Creek, which transports crystal clear water to the

park’s Old Levi Mill Lake, and the steep wooded hillsides that lend a mountainous character to the setting, even though it is located in the Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic region. Poinsett State Park is significant as one of seventeen South Carolina State Parks built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Unlike some States, South Carolina had no state parks before the CCC was created in 1933. The CCC spent 1934 to 1938 building recreational facilities, support facilities, and trails at Poinsett State Park using rustic architecture and landscaping techniques that were derivatives of the Arts and Crafts architectural movement. Across South Carolina, the CCC used the same construction techniques; notably the use of native materials, an attempt to blend new construction with the surrounding habitats, and doing it primarily with manual labor. At Poinsett the use of a local stone, coquina, matches in color and texture the surrounding sandy landscape of many parts of the park. Coquina was mined and shaped locally, and was utilized in the construction of many of the buildings, structures, and objects throughout the park. The Park is significant under Criterion A in the areas of politics/government, entertainment/recreation, conservation, and ethnic heritage: African American, and Criterion C in the areas of architecture and landscape architecture. Photographs of recent National Register listings are posted on the agency’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/scdah/. ****************************** Next Meeting of State Review Board: July 22 The State Board of Review for the National Register of Historic Places will meet on Friday, July 22, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. at the SC Archives and History Center in Columbia.

Click here for the historic architecture consultant job posting. ****************************** New Listings in the National Register of Historic Places Tillman School, located at 191 Cotton Hill Rd./U.S. Highway 321 in Tillman, was listed in the National Register June 21, 2016. Tillman School is significant in the history and development of education patterns in Jasper County during the 1920s. During the first half of the 20th century, school buildings in Jasper County transformed from small rural frame structures into consolidated regional schools divided into districts. It is also significant as a well-preserved example of a one-story Craftsman style elementary school designed by Charleston architect John D. Newcomer. Constructed from 1926 to 1927, the T-shaped brick building maintains a balanced symmetry on the exterior and interior giving the building a formalized appearance. The brick gabled, wide overhanging eaves, decorative rafter tails, knee brace bracketing, and multi-light grouped windows define the Craftsman style aesthetic. Interior details include the floor plan, classroom layout, chalkboards, potbelly stoves, flooring, doors, windows, light fixtures, auditorium seating, and stage area. The public elementary school closed in 1963. Gippy Plantation, located in the Moncks Corner vicinity of Berkeley County was listed in the National Register June 23, 2016. Gippy Plantation is a large, two-and-one-half story wooden dwelling constructed in the 1850s in the Greek Revival style. It is architecturally significant as a rare example of its type in Berkeley County and remains a representative example of Greek Revival plantation architecture in the region despite some early twentieth-century alterations. Gippy retains a high degree of historic integrity through its preserved mid-19th century character, intact adjacent oak allée, and nineteenth-century outbuildings. Original character-defining features of the dwelling include its symmetrical floor plan, weatherboard siding, columned portico with central tripartite pediment window, cornice with mutule blocks, and a low-pitch, gable roof featuring dual gable-end interior masonry chimneys. In 1928, Philadelphia businessman Nicholas G. Roosevelt purchased the plantation and hired well-known Charleston architecture firm Simons & Lapham to restore and update the home. These alterations were in keeping with the Colonial Revival style that peaked in popularity during the 1920s and 1930s and are part of the overall significance of the property. ****************************** Additional National Register Documentation for Hampton Plantation Hampton Plantation was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 15, 1970 and was designated a National Historic Landmark on the same date. The original nomination focused upon the 1735 plantation house. The property was nominated under Criterion C for Architecture and the period of significance spanned only the 18th century. Additional documentation that was accepted by the National Register on July 5,

2016 expanded both the areas and period of significance. Hampton Plantation is significant under Criteria A, B, C, and D with a period of significance that extends from ca. 1701 to 1947. The period begins with the first acquisition of land by European settlers, specifically when Daniel McGregor took out a warrant for a portion of the property in 1701. This early date primarily reflects the beginning of archaeological significance under Criterion D for the district. Other areas of significance, including Criterion A: Agriculture (both rice cultivation and stock-raising) and Criterion A: Ethnic Heritage: African American, also begin in the early to mid-18th century. The closing date for the period of significance is 1947, which was the date of publication for Archibald Rutledge’s book God’s Children. Though Rutledge continued writing for two more decades, 1947 marks the point at which his contributions, as they relate to Hampton Plantation as a literary setting, reached their full significance. The closing date also indicates when other areas of significance, in the areas of African American history, agriculture, and landscape architecture, had made their greatest impacts on the property. The additional documentation includes a total of 14 contributing and 14 non-contributing resources that are located within the revised and updated district. ****************************** Anderson Awards for Excellence in Historic Rehabilitation Seeks Nominees The National Housing & Rehabilitation Association is seeking nominations for the J. Timothy Anderson Awards for Excellence in Historic Rehabilitation. The 2016 “Timmys” will be awarded in the following categories:

• Best Commercial/Retail/Non-Residential Project • Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Small (Up to $10 million total

development cost) • Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Large (Over $10 million total development

Four special Judges Awards, drawn from the entire pool of applications, will be awarded for:

Warren Mill is significant under National Register Criterion A for industry as an intact example of South Carolina’s once-thriving textile industry. The Warren Manufacturing Company built the mill between 1896 and 1898 and operated its textile operations until it became part of the Graniteville Manufacturing Company in 1918. When it began operation in 1898 the Warren Mill was one of the most state-of-the-art industrial facilities in the Horse Creek Valley and the state of South Carolina. The Warren Mill is also significant at the local level under National Register Criterion C as an intact textile mill designed by W.B. Smith Whaley, a prominent industrial architect responsible for designing many of the most prominent textile facilities throughout South Carolina. The period of significance begins with the mill’s completion in 1898 and ends with the construction of the cotton warehouses, which were completed by 1947 and are the last contributing resources built on the site. The Warren Mill contributes to the Textile Mills in South Carolina Designed by W.B. Smith Whaley, 1893-1903 Multiple Property Submission, completed in 1990. ****************************** State Library Offers Grant Research and Proposal Writing Classes Grants Research: Finding a Funder for Your Nonprofit Organization.

Foley at efoley@scdah.sc.gov, 803-896-6182 or Virginia Harness at vharness@scdah.sc.gov, 803-896-6179. ****************************** 5 New Listings in the National Register of Historic Places The James Phinney House in Chester County was listed in the National Register October 11, 2016. The James Phinney House was built in 1856 and is a fine example of a late antebellum Greek Revival raised cottage. The house has a low-pitch side-gabled roof and prominent central entry portico featuring a pediment supported by four square wooden pillars. The Phinney House was once at the center of a substantial upstate cotton plantation and the 1860 U.S. Federal Census Slave Schedule lists James Phinney as owning thirty-three enslaved people, making him a very prominent slaveholder within the context of Chester District. The Oconee County Courthouse, at 211 W. Main Street in Walhalla, was also listed in the National Register October 11, 2016. Constructed in 1956, the Oconee County Courthouse is an interesting and eclectic mix of periods within the Modern movement: steel enamel paneling, heavy limestone cornices and sills, and large glass paneling add characteristically midcentury ornament to a body otherwise reminiscent of the Stripped Classicism that is typically seen in buildings built several decades earlier. This mixing of styles makes the Oconee County Courthouse stand out among South Carolina’s civic structures, and within the portfolio of its designers, the regionally significant architectural firm Lyles, Bissett, Carlisle & Wolff. Pine Street School, at 500 South Pine Street in Spartanburg, was listed in the National Register October 17, 2016. The school building represents three major building campaigns: the original, two-story, roughly L-shaped, Beaux-Arts building with facades on Boyd and Pine streets constructed in 1928-29; a one-story classroom wing extending east from the historic northern elevation constructed in 1956; and a large two-story addition extending to the east of the historic Pine Street façade, with a one-story extension to the rear of this elevation constructed between 1999 and 2001. The school is significant in the areas of education and architecture. The original design was influenced by the new South Carolina school building code of 1924, which was written following a fire at the Cleveland School in Kershaw in 1923 that killed seventy-seven people. Charles Coker Wilson, who was the architect for the Pine Street School, was also the principal author of the 1923 building code and deployed his ideas in the design of the school. American Spinning Company Mill No. 2, located at 300 Hammett Street in Greenville, was listed in the National Register October 18, 2016. It is an early twentieth century textile mill that was constructed just outside the city of Greenville in 1902. The current Mill complex occupies approximately thirteen acres and is located among the remnants of several old mill communities now known as San Souci and the Poe Mill neighborhoods. The mill property includes two contributing buildings: the main mill building and the cotton warehouses (with subsequent additions): and two contributing

structures: the water tower and the reservoir. The mill complex is significant for its association with the textile industry, which played a vital role in the development of the South Carolina upstate during much of the twentieth century. It is also significant architecturally, for its association with the prolific engineering and design firm Lockwood & Greene, who designed textile mills from New England to the Carolinas, as well as Greenville residents Joseph E. Sirrine and Capt. Jacob Cagle, both of whom were associated with the design and construction of the plant. Melrose Heights-Oak Lawn-Fairview Historic District in Columbia was listed in the National Register November 2, 2016. The district a collection of 607 contributing buildings, including historic outbuildings, and 185 non-contributing buildings, including non-contributing outbuildings, and 24 non-contributing structures located a mile and a half east of Columbia’s original city limits. The neighborhoods of Melrose Heights and Oak Lawn emerged in the early 20th century, beginning with the efforts of the Powell family to subdivide and develop the land. Buildings in the district represent many distinct architectural styles and forms from the early- to mid-twentieth century. These styles and forms include Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Prairie School, Bungalow/Craftsman, Airplane Style Bungalow, Ranch, Bungalow, Minimal Traditional, Kit Homes, and American Foursquare. The district is significant in the areas of community planning/development, architecture, and landscape architecture. Images of these new listings are available on the agency’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/scdah/, and will soon be added to the SC Historic Properties Record http://schpr.sc.gov/. ****************************** FY 2017 Historic Preservation Grants Due February 3, 2017 Applications and instructions for the FY 2017 Historic Preservation Fund Grants are available at http://shpo.sc.gov/programs/Pages/Grants.aspx.
