WILMINGTON’S HUMBLE HOUSESStarting in 2006 HWF’s Most Threatened Places list highlighted the city’s

vernacular homes as endangered. Every year smaller, and more affordable, houses

disappear across Wilmington and these properties represent an undervalued part

of the character of the city. Our hands-on project, the Repair Affair, has assisted

in rehabilitating two such houses so far and a third, at 508 Wooster Street, has

been bought and completely

renovated thanks to our

revolving fund. We hope these

efforts are the beginning of

many more.

property, see the form on page

Historic Wilmington Creates Scholarship forUNCW Public History Master’s Program

HWF is pleased to announce itscreation of a graduate student scholarship at UNCW. The $750 per-semester scholarship extends tostudents majoring in Public Historyand is offered in both the fall andspring. It includes a period of workexperience with the Foundation tofamiliarize the recipient with historicpreservation methods. We are one offew non-profit organizations in thecity to create such a scholarship. Thefirst recipients of this scholarship were

Julia Yannetti and Colleen Griffiths - both currently enrolled in the GraduateProgram in Public History at UNCW. Julia plans further study of historic preserva-tion and Colleen is pursuing a career as an archivist.

HWF already has a functioning internship program employing mostlyUNCW undergraduate students. This endeavor shares similar goals, in that it aimsto instill experience, knowledge and enthusiasm in future generations of historicpreservationists.

A strong partnership between historic preservation and education is vital toWilmington’s cultural and economic growth. HWF hopes this collaboration withUNCW will prove beneficial in training new protectors of our rich local heritage.UNCW History Dept Chair, Dr. Susan McCaffray, shares her enthusiasm, stating,“I am thrilled that HWF has made this partnership with UNCW History studentspossible. Not only will it give students hands-on experience in an historic agency, butit also strengthens our connection with one of the premier historic preservationorganizations in the state.” 0Dr. William D. Moore, UNCW Director of PublicHistory, agrees and adds, “This endeavor epitomizes how UNCW’s Public HistoryProgram seeks to bridge the gap between academics and the world of non-profits.”

Public History education is a field that produces professionals capable of presenting history to a wide audience, an aspiration that the Foundation itself shares.We proudly present this scholarship to UNCW in support of its efforts to invest inthe community and help conserve our historic resources.

43rd Annual Meeting Elects New Board Members

NCSupreme Court Justice Paul Martin Newbygave an impassioned speech on the need

for preservation and the work of HWF to beginour 2009 Annual Meeting in January. The lively meeting that followed reviewed the Foundation’saccomplishments during the previous year, includ-ing Wilmington’s Dozen Distinctive Destinationsaward, the new Most Threatened list, eighteennew plaques presented, eleven new protectiveeasement donations and the use of our revolvingfund to buy and save three buildings. The mem-bership thanked Beverly Tetterton, Lillian Smith,Connor Keller and Patti Jenkins for their outstanding service and welcomed newBoard members (pictured standing) Jim Snow, Stephanie Adams, Veda Wilson and(seated) Marietta Gwathmey and Will Moore. Susi Hamilton also rejoined theBoard. Our thanks to historic Peabody School for the use of their facility at 5thand Campbell streets and to our Board, old and new, and membership for a successful 2008.

HWF’s George Edwards presents a scholarship check to recipient Julia Yannetti, with Dr. WilliamMoore, Dr. Susan McCaffray and Beau Cummings

of UNCW’s Leadership Gifts office.

Historic Wilmington Foundation is a dynamic and respectedorganization in the City and region. We have played a pivotal

role in protecting and preserving the City and the region’s architec-tural heritage. Our leadership with preservation issues has been critical to helping the community preserve historic buildings andimprove the quality of life for our citizens. To achieve this success we have always depended on individual members and businesses for support.

During 2008 the Foundation had one of its best years with thepresentation of new programs and activities. We offered the verysuccessful presentation of our Preservation for Profit workshop anddrew 76 attendees. Our house tour during the Azalea Festival drewalmost 1,000 people and National Preservation Month saw strongsupport for all programs and good corporate underwriting. Thethird offering of the 5K Run for Preservation saw a tremendousturnout as 478 people ran the course in downtown Wilmington.Our advocacy on issues of threatened buildings was the strongestever, and our efforts were reported in all media areas. Even with thisgreat year we could not outrun the economic problems challengingour country and we ended our year with a deficit. Because we arefortunate and have built an endowment we were able to manage inthe face of this shortfall.

Because we value your support and confidence the Foundationhas always maintained the highest ethical standards with ourfinances. The Foundation has always operated with a conservativebudget and has committee and board oversight on the expenses andrevenues. When we built our endowment the board responded bydeveloping an investment strategy to guide the organization so thatover time, even when using some dividends for operations, we couldgrow the assets. To ensure absolute transparency of our finances, theFoundation has had an independent audit of our records for years,even when such stringent reviews are not mandated. We have further reported on our finances each year at our annual meetingand we have published our financials in the newsletter from time to

time. Members are always welcome to review our audits too. Now, like all Americans, we are faced with financial challenges.

We have seen a significant cutback in corporate memberships andunderwriting and even our individual memberships declined slightlyat year end. Together these two areas are the bedrock of our support.Now more than ever we need everyone to remain supportive andrenew your membership and, if possible, even at a higher level. Weneed your assistance with recruiting new members and we need continued corporate supporters to remain with us. The challenges toour historic resources will not go away and if Wilmington and theCape Fear region are to continue to be North Carolina’s preservationleader, then Historic Wilmington must remain strong and assertive.Wilmington received the National Trust’s Dozen DistinctiveDestinations award last year. The award recognized our manyachievements with historic preservation and our ongoing commit-ment to protecting and renewing our heritage. Just as previous generations of members and supporters have invested in theFoundation now we need your support to take us to the next level.When the Foundation asks for your support, please take the time to make a difference.

Respectfully,

George W. Edwards

Until recently, common theory held thathistoric preservation and green buildingtechnologies were not compatible.Theview was that the preservationists wantedto protect our history and culture solelythrough the use of traditional building techniques and materials; while the "greenies" only desire was to protecthuman health and natural habitat and pro-mote alternative sources of energy, oftenthrough the application of innovative technologies and construction methods.

This conflict is starting to change, partlydue to the theory of "embodied energy."Every building is a combination of manyprocessed materials, each of which contributes to the building’s total embod-ied energy.The energy required to extractand process the raw material for an individ-ual component, as well the energy used totransport the finished product to the jobsite and install it, all become part of theembodied energy cost of the completedstructure.The energy involved in maintain-ing a building, and finally removing it andrecycling it or otherwise disposing of it arepart of the embodied energy equation for aparticular building.

When an existing building is torn down,energy is consumed, materials are typicallywasted at the landfill and all the embodiedenergy in the building is lost.To compound

the loss, by rebuilding on the site, moreenergy is used and more embodied energyis invested in the new structure.

A truly green building practice is to renovate existing structures, using the latest in energy-saving systems and sustainable materials. In this way theembodied energy is saved and a piece ofour history is preserved. For example, acirca 1922 bungalow style home at 1321Chestnut Street in Wilmington was recentlyrenovated incorporating some green build-ing technologies and materials, including:

¥ SEALED CRAWL SPACE WITH VAPOR BARRIER INSTALLED

¥ SEALED ATTIC WITH BLOWN ICYNENE

¥ HIGH EFFICIENCY HVAC

¥ CONCRETE COUNTERS

¥ DOUBLE PANE INSULATED WINDOWS

¥ ORIGINAL WOOD FLOORINGRESTORED, RECLAIMED HEART PINE

¥ ENERGY STAR APPLIANCES.

¥ ARCHITECTURAL ASPHALT 30 YEAR SHINGLE

¥ RESTORED ORIGINAL OVERHANGSOF 2.5’ FOR SHADING

¥ SAVED HARDWOOD SHADE TREES

¥ REMOVED EXCESSIVE CONCRETE FOR REDUCING RUNOFF

Conservation underlies the basic princi-

ples of both the preservation and the sustainable movement. Many of the typicaldesign strategies of one reinforce the goalsof the other. Indicative of this growing partnership, the US General ServicesAdministration (GSA), which overseesmany of the nation’s historic landmarks,now requires LEED certification for all newcapital projects, including major renova-tions. LEED, the acronym for Leadership inEnergy and Environmental Design, is a consensus-based rating system developedby the US Green Building Council to evaluate sustainable design measures inbuildings. If we can combine the strengthsof green building and historic preservationwe can honor the past while building acleaner, environmentally friendly future.Matthew F. Jack & Elaine Logothetis Jack

Westbrook-Ardmore National Register Historic District

In early 2009 the National Park Service, on the recommendation of the NC State Historic

Preservation Office, registered Wilmington’s newest official historic district. The district

includes 580 properties in the Manhattan, Bronx, Pinehurst, Carolina Court, Westbrook

Gardens and Ardmore neighborhoods. HWF provided a grant in support of the effort to

designate this district and we are pleased to see another piece of the city benefitting from

the protection, oversight and tax incentives that National Register status brings.


By Lauren McAskillEntering the building at 32 North Front Street feels like

stepping into a modern office building in some cosmopol-itan city akin to New York or Chicago. Only these strikingnew offices are juxtaposed against the backdrop of ourvery own Wilmington Downtown Historic District. At the same time, even without the knowledge that thisbuilding has been restored from its historic roots in environmentally-inspired ways, you already feel closer tothe outside world with beams of sunlight flooding theroom through grand panes of glass.

This building is the newhome of MonteithConstruction’s Wilmingtonoffice. MonteithConstruction has paired upwith LS3P Architects in theimpressive and ultimatelyrewarding project of restoring the historic build-ing at 32 North Front Streetwhile striving to be as environmentally friendly as possible. The building isnow in the process of beingconsidered for LEED certifi-cation. On top of all the‘green’ systems instituted,arguably the most ‘green’thing about this whole project is that it began withan historic building. Ittherefore involved no demolition and sent muchfewer materials to a land-fill. The project has filed itsapplication to receive thestate and federal tax creditfor restoring a historic build-ing according to the Secretary of the Interior’s standards.As architect Chris Boney of LS3P puts it, the building “represents the ultimate in sustainable design: taking anold building and retrofitting it with new technology tolast another hundred years.”

The building is truly an experience in itself. The floor ismade of cork so that each step has just a pinch of bounceto it. The ceilings are incredibly high even with its threelevels of floors. Everything is clean and open. The downstairs conference room fades into the rest of theroom, separated only by panes of glass. The downstairsbathroom includes a shower so that employees areencouraged to walk or ride their bike to work.

The second and third floors are very striking as well. A few of the many ‘green’ details include desks fashionedfrom old doors set on top of concrete blocks, cubiclesconstructed from ‘plyboo’ (plywood made of bamboo),recycled steel to reinforce the building’s historic structure,and a staircase from the second to third floors made from

wood formerly constituting part of the third floor.John Monteith admits that sometimes historic and

green can butt heads, but it does not mean they cannotcompromise. For example, the Montieth building couldhave further cut down on its energy consumption had it been able put a reflective tint on its front windows. This, however, was against the guidelines of the historic district, and was not done. Instead mechanical blinds that gradually lower during the day (optimizing energy conservation) were used.

Even with slight concessions,Monteith is exuberant about hisdecision to embark on a ‘green’historic restoration project. Forsmaller projects, without themeans to be considered for LEEDcertification, John Monteithmakes a few suggestions foramateur green restorers. First ofall - location. Building down-town can be expensive, but isabsolutely a green choice.Downtown buildings are then in close proximity to all the amenities of daily life, includingrestaurants, parks, public trans-portation, entertainment, andneighborhoods and an immedi-ate benefit is less commuting.Secondly, Monteith stresses theimportance of windows and natural lighting indoors, andespecially in furnishing a pleasant work environment.Monteith’s building is constantlypermeated with light, keepingpeople comfortably working in

cool temperatures. At the sametime workers are connected with the outside environ-ment - with proven added benefits such as lowering casesof depression and facilitating vitamin-B production fromsunlight. Being green is not that difficult in some ways.After all, recycling is free. Monteith also points out thatalthough many of the green systems used in his buildingcan be pricey, the materials used, such as No VOC paint, are fairly comparable in cost to paints containingharmful chemicals.

Monteith did not commence this project for the publicity it would generate, but that has certainly been a consequence. Fortunately, the construction business itself is becoming ‘greener,’ therefore Monteith’s mainmotivation was to show clients and architects that he isdedicated to using green techniques. Of course, if you ask John Monteith what the most rewarding part of this whole endeavor has been, he responds without hesitation, “Coming to work here everyday.” G

Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear Region’s

Most Threatened Historic Places

The Historic Wilmington Foundation initiated its Most Threatened

Historic Places program in 2006 to call attention to threatened

historic places. The initiative helps the Foundation and the community

spotlight irreplaceable historic, architectural, cultural, and archaeological

resources in Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear region that are in

imminent danger of being lost. A listing as a threatened place will

generate public attention, spark debate about cultural and architectural

heritage preservation, and hopefully attract new perspectives and ideas

to an endangered site in need of creative new solutions. The Foundation’s

Most Threatened Historic Places program is an open public process,

bringing more attention to these sites, and utilizing the public attention

to save more historic resources. The media attention and public discus-

sion also helps people evaluate the importance of our heritage and

begin to understand that historic preservation is more than just saving

landmarks. It is about the renewal and restoration of old commercial

districts, neighborhoods, cemeteries and our public spaces. It is about

recognizing and preserving the history of all of our citizens. The Historic

Wilmington Foundation uses its newsletter and its website, as well as

media coverage, to provide publicity on the annual list. The Foundation

also provides updates on the status of the sites selected for the list. Please

share this nomination form with others and call the Foundation if you

wish to alert us to a threatened site. The nomination process is open to

everyone in Wilmington, and the counties of New Hanover, Brunswick

and Pender.

Recently Approved PlaquesWILLISTON HIGH SCHOOL

1953 - 401 SOUTH 10TH ST.Begun in 1865 by the Freedmen’s Bureau as an elementary school forblacks; then operated by the American Missionary Association andnamed for Massachusetts benefactor Samuel Williston. It became the city’s first public school for blacks when purchased in 1873 by

the Board of Education. Vocational curriculum added in 1915 when a larger school was constructed on this site. A new high

school built in 1931 burned five years later. The 1938 replacementschool was designed by architect Leslie N. Boney and built by contractor U.A. Underwood. That building became Gregory

Elementary when the modern high school was constructed here in 1953. Williston, the premier secondary educational institution for blacks, ceased to function as a high school in 1968, a result

of desegregation.

TILESTON SCHOOL1871 - 412 ANN ST.

The original Italianate style center section was financed by philanthro-pist Mary Tileston Hemenway (1820-1894) and designed by John A.Fox, both of Boston, MA; James Walker, local supervising architect;Strausz & Rice of Wilmington, builders. Additions include 1910Neoclassical Revival style porticoed section, J.F. Leitner, architect;1919 south wing and stair halls, H.E. Bonitz, architect; 1937 Ann

A Word For Our SponsorsWithout the extraordinary generosity of our members and sponsors HWF could not continue its preservation mission.Since 1966, without any government funding, HWF has pursued preservation as a private non-profit.Today is no different and we want to recognize the sponsors who havemade our work possible in recent months.

Historic Chestnut StreetSCHOOL LOST

Snipes Academy, formerly Chestnut Street School, wasdemolished in February 2009 to make way for a newschool on the site. The 1942 school was built by theFederal Works Agency and designed by local architectLeslie N. Boney. New Hanover County School Board gaveonly cursory discussion to rehabilitating the structure in2008 and decided to replace it without consultingpreservationists. HWF feels this was a misguided decisionas Snipes was still a viable structure for rehabilitation.The School Board has successfully rehabilitated ForestHills Elementary and is currently doing the same atWilliston School. This demolition serves to highlight theneed for better communication and outreach by publicofficials when making community decisions. Aside fromthe loss of a fundamentally sound historic building, thecost of demolition and the waste of materials into alandfill is very unfortunate.


Welcome ColleenThis Spring we welcome Colleen Griffiths to the intern position

at Historic Wilmington Foundation. Colleen is a public history

graduate student at UNCW, with a concentration in archives.

Colleen received her Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications

at UNC Pembroke in 2008. At Pembroke she digitally archived

the student newspaper and produced a mini-documentary, “From

the Ashes,” about the arson of the historic Old Main classroom

building. She is from Havelock, NC, and is currently working on

an inventory of the HWF archives and membership efforts.


Tar Heels Go Walking Volunteers NeededHWF will need volunteers to organize and enact a children’s walking tour. The

Foundation has worked on a proposal to rewrite the content of New Hanover

County Schools Tar Heels Go Walking Tour. This tour will teach students about the

history of downtown Wilmington. Volunteers will be asked to attend between six

to eight hours of training. The training will consist of familiarization with the tour

route, studying tour content, and receiving a tour guide package to go over at

home. Tour guides will be asked to offer between one and three days out of the

school year to give tours to third grade classes from New Hanover County. This is a

great opportunity to get involved in the education of our community’s children.

If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity please contact George Edwards

at [email protected] or 910.762.2511.

&ABC Board Demolishes BlockOver the past nine months HWF has been reporting on the demolition of elevenstructures on the block at Castle and 17th streets. Many affordable homes were lostwhen the ABC Board decided to buy and remove everything neighboring its mainWilmington store and office. HWF has led advocacy with City Council, local residentsand the ABC Board to make the best of this bad situation. Currently HWF is in discussions with the Board to return much of the block to the residential use for whichit is zoned. The Board had sought to rezone the residential portion of the block, after removing the properties on it, as commercial and build a warehouse extensionand parking lot. Community opposition, supported by HWF, has made this planunlikely and we hope to reach a compromise. Since the mass demolition the block has become part of the new Westbrook-Ardmore National Register Historic District.
