Mr. Coble brings a wealth of knowledge to PAWV from his roughly three-decade career at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, where he strengthened and fostered the development of state and local preservation organizations across the nation. 

Coble, of Shepherdstown, served in various capacities at the National Trust, including Senior Vice President of Business & Finance, Vice President of Administration, Chief of Staff, Director of Human Resources, Director of Budget & Planning, and Director of Program Development. His business acumen and passion for historic preservation will undoubtedly prove to be a valuable asset to PAWV.

Members of the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia’s Board of Directors and staff are pleased with the appointment of Coble: “We are excited to include Greg's fresh perspective as we tackle new projects,” notes Danielle Parker, Executive Director of PAWV. “PAWV is expanding, and we are able to do so under the guidance of a knowledgeable Board of Directors. Greg is a welcomed advisor as we begin the process of renovating the historic Arthurdale High School into the state's Historic Preservation Center and advocate for historic preservation across the State of  West Virginia.”

Request for Proposals: Historic Window Preservation Workshop

5/30/2023

0 Comments

 
The Preservation Alliance of West Virginia (PAWV) is now accepting proposals for qualified historic preservationists to provide instruction in intermediate historic wooden sash window repair/preservation. The ideal workshop time frame is two consecutive days in August 2023, but there is flexibility in the exact scheduling. Therefore, proposals must include two suggested dates for the workshop in either August or September as part of the scope of work.

PAWV selected the historic Arthurdale Homestead Community High School as the subject of the hands-on, historic preservation workshop. It is pictured below and located at 303 Eby School Rd, Arthurdale, WV. The property is owned by the non-profit organization, Arthurdale Heritage Inc. (More photos are included at the bottom of this document. Please contact PAWV at jbillman@pawv.org or by calling 304-345-6005 with any questions about the building or to set up a site visit.)

The class size will be limited to 20 participants with beginner to intermediate knowledge of window repair. The class itself can be split into beginner and intermediate sessions to accommodate different levels of involvement required for beginners versus returning students. The target audience for this workshop is local volunteers and Preserve WV AmeriCorps members as they will continue working on the windows as part of their service following the workshop series.


The instructor should be prepared to lead classroom-based discussions, as well as demonstrate on–site. Time should be allotted for students to practice what they are learning in the field. Hands-on work can be done in the high school's old shop room, which will be set up to accommodate the workshop, and the classroom portion of the workshop can take place at another space on Arthurdale Heritage’s campus. The instructor should base the content of the workshop on the information outlined in the National Park Service’s Brief #9 - The Repair of Historic Wooden Windows. The instructor should be prepared to teach on the following topics in both classroom and worksite settings:
  • Building assessment as it relates to wooden sash windows,
  • Common causes of failure related to these windows or repairs,
  • Preventative maintenance,
  • Properties of traditional wooden sashes and their comparison to modern materials,
  • Properties of traditional window panes and their comparison to modern materials,
  • Selection of appropriate replacement materials,
  • Nondestructive removal methods and replacement methods, and
  • Efficiency comparisons to modern windows.
​
The instructor will be expected to work with PAWV staff to ensure the proper materials and supplies are purchased for this workshop.

PAWV will handle registration and provide lunch on-site to the workshop instructor and participants each day.
Picture
Proposal Application Requirements:
Professionals interested in providing preservation training for any of the above formats should submit a proposal including:
  1. Name, title, contact information (phone and email), and organizational/institutional affiliation, if applicable,
  2. Schedule detailing the time period for the workshop and proposed presentation for each day of the workshop,
  3. Two possible time periods you can schedule the workshop (August or September are ideal for PAWV and Arthurdale Heritage),
  4. Qualifications, credentials, and experience:
    1. Skill(s) that you are qualified to teach, and
    2. Teaching or training experience
  5. Tools or equipment, if applicable, that you can provide for the class and student use,
  6. Materials, equipment, and site requirements you would expect PAWV to provide, and
  7. Cost/fee proposals for two days of instruction - flat fee.
Submit proposals via email to Jamie Billman at jbillman@pawv.org by June 23rd, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.

This RFP does not indicate any promise to follow through and implement any proposals.  We reserve the right to select a different trainer for this workshop. We reserve the right to accept late proposals if insufficient or inadequate proposals for all slots are received by the deadline. We may suggest revisions to your proposal for your consideration.  PAWV staff will organize and direct all events and will have final approval of content.

Historic Black West Virginia Church Added to National Register of Historic Places

5/1/2023

5 Comments

 
New Salem Baptist Church, a historic Black church in Tams, West Virginia, has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Picture
New Salem Baptist Church, Tams, WV
The church is the sole remaining building in the Black coal camp community established at Tams and is also a physical reminder of the once-bustling coal town’s racially segregated past. The congregation consisted of Black miners and their families who resided in the northern section of Tams, while white and recent European immigrant groups lived in separate areas.

The Gothic Revival style church was built in 1921 after the board of trustees of the congregation approached W. P. Tams, Jr., who owned the company town, requesting that a church be built for them. Tams obliged and provided the funding for the construction of the church. The congregation was able to repay Tams in 1928 and received a clear title to the property.  Unfortunately, a reversion clause in the deed reportedly states that the parcel will revert to ownership by the present Western Pocahontas Land Company should it cease to be used as a house of worship. 

The church building currently serves a small congregation dedicated to the continued preservation of its built history with admittedly limited resources. Calls for its preservation have been publicly discussed through local news media for several decades, and in 2016 the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia listed the church as a West Virginia Endangered Property.

In 2021, the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia received a grant from the West Virginia State Historic Preservation Office to conduct a National Register nomination. PAWV is delighted to report that as of 2023, the New Salem Baptist Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

1/31/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture

Intent
The Preservation Alliance of West Virginia (PAWV), in partnership with Arthurdale Heritage, is seeking qualified professionals and/or architecture firms to create a master plan for a statewide Historic Preservation Center based at the historic Arthurdale High School in Preston County, West Virginia.

The main goals of the Center will be:
  1. To serve as a headquarters for PAWV’s Preserve WV AmeriCorps program to deploy members in “learn-while-you-serve” opportunities across the state of West Virginia and conduct hands-on historic preservation at historic sites;
  2. To educate and engage young people in historic preservation and associated career paths via programming in historic preservation, business, and finance; and
  3. To provide business incubator and co-operative work and living spaces for emerging historic trades professionals.

As an add-on for this project, PAWV is seeking additional and separate quotes for preparation of construction documents for the Center’s full rehabilitation.

This contract will be fully funded by an Appalachian Regional Commission’s POWER Grant and will be completed in close conjunction with PAWV and Arthurdale Heritage’s staff.

Proposal Submission Deadline: 5:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, March 7, 2023.

Responses may be submitted electronically via email to Danielle (LaPresta) Parker, PAWV
Executive Director at dlapresta@pawv.org or by letter to 421 Davis Avenue, Elkins, WV 26241.
Email is preferred.

Organizational History & Project Overview 

West Virginia has a unique cultural heritage, and as the statewide historic preservation nonprofit formed in 1982, PAWV has organized a variety of national service initiatives, funding and technical assistance programs, advocacy efforts, and educational programs aimed at making historic preservation an accessible tool to revitalize West Virginia’s communities and improve the lives of its citizens. 

In 2006, PAWV began offering educational workshops about hands-on historic preservation to home-owners and DIYers upon hiring its first full-time executive director. Over the next 15 years, PAWV made hands-on historic trades education a programmatic priority through its field services outreach – the WV Endangered Properties Program - and by offering educational workshops and programs to everyone from AmeriCorps members, property owners, college students and community volunteers working on historic buildings. Our educational topics generally trended toward preserving a structure’s original wood windows and historic masonry (as well as cemetery preservation) according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation. 

In 2020, PAWV began noticing a decline in companies available to work on projects funded by historic preservation grants and implemented an outreach campaign to understand how the shortage of historic trades workers was affecting West Virginia as a whole. The following year, PAWV formed the West Virginia Historic Trades Task Force, a collection of West Virginia’s historic preservation project managers and professionals, which tasked itself with identifying and planning educational programs as one of its primary objectives. The Task Force’s goal is to increase the number of historic trades professionals and small businesses throughout the Mountain State. 

In 2022, PAWV and Arthurdale Heritage partnered to develop a statewide Historic Preservation Center with the goal of rehabilitating the former Arthurdale High/Junior High School for the Center. The purpose of this project is to develop a master plan for the Center, and an add-on component of this project is the creation of construction documents for the Center’s full rehabilitation. The goals of the Center will be:
  1. To serve as a headquarters for PAWV’s Preserve WV AmeriCorps program to deploy members in “learn-while-you-serve” opportunities across the state of West Virginia and conduct hands-on historic preservation at historic sites;
  2. To educate and engage young people in historic preservation and associated career paths via programming (both in-person and virtual) in historic preservation and business; and
  3. To provide business incubator, work and living spaces for emerging historic trades professionals.  

Formed in 1985, Arthurdale Heritage is a nonprofit dedicated to the preservation of the Nation’s First New Deal Homestead – a National Historic District comprised of over 140 contributing buildings. Arthurdale Heritage is the owner and steward not only of the high school but also eleven other historic buildings in the original Arthurdale community planned in the 1930s. Arthurdale Heritage is a very active nonprofit organization and already offers educational programming in heritage crafts and to Preston County youth. Historic trades education is a natural addition to programming already offered at Arthurdale’s campus.

At the Historic Preservation Center, PAWV plans to offer both theoretical and hands-on educational programming in historic preservation with the goal of increasing our state’s historic preservation workforce and encouraging the development of more small businesses in this specialized and lucrative construction field. Our audiences will vary as we develop experiences for primary and secondary-school aged students, as well as certificate programs and AmeriCorps placements for people changing careers, or entering/re-entering the workforce. 

Other plans for the center involve converting a portion of the school into a co-operative work and living space for emerging trades professionals and students pursuing short- and long-term educational opportunities. This will provide much needed lodging facilities to students traveling from other parts of West Virginia and the region to attend trainings. A co-operative workspace will be a valued asset for sub-contractors looking to minimize start-up costs, as well, and PAWV aims to attract skilled professionals to West Virginia by providing this resource.

Request for Quotes: Masonry for the "Pink Library" in Lewisburg

11/1/2022

1 Comment

 
The Greenbrier Historical Society (GHS) requests proposals from qualified masonry contractors to provide services to repoint the 1834 Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia Law Library and Study building, also known as the “Pink Library”, in Lewisburg, West Virginia.  Interested contractors must submit a written or electronic proposal by 3:00 pm on Friday, November 18, 2022, to Al Emch, Greenbrier Historical Society (alemch235@gmail.com; 814 Washington Street, Lewisburg, WV 24901).

The “Pink Library'' was built in 1834 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The building is in need of selective masonry rehabilitation due to water intrusion from faulty gutters and downspouts and the application of a latex paint over brick. This project is funded in part by Preservation Alliance of West Virginia in partnership with the Paul Bruhn Rural Revitalization Grant provided by the National Park Service. As such, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archaeology and Historic Preservation must be followed.  

A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, November 9, 2022.

The project will include:

  1. Remove paint from brick on the east and north elevation where specified in photo 1. Paint removal must be by the gentlest means possible following the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. Methods must be approved by PAWV in writing in advance of work.  
  2. Repoint approximately 128 square feet of brick using an appropriate lime mortar mix which must be approved in advance by PAWV in writing.  The mortar has been tested by an architectural conservator whose report is attached to the rear of this document. The mortar must match the color, composition and texture of the original historic mortar. Deteriorated mortar should be removed to sound mortar or a maximum depth of ¾ inch.
  3. Masonry joints will not be widened or otherwise damaged.
  4. Joint will be repointed and tooled to match the historic profile.
  5. Although we do not expect this, should any historic bricks need to be replaced, they must match the color, composition and texture of the original.
  6. Contractors must follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards Treatment for Historic Properties
  7. Contractor is responsible for any permits.
  8. Contractor is responsible for all tools, labor, materials, equipment, supervision and associated items related to the rehabilitation of the Pink Library masonry repair.

Add-Alternate pricing is requested for the following:
  1. Removal of all exterior paint from masonry on the entire building using the gentlest means possible and cleaning the brick with the gentlest means possible.
  2. Additional spot repointing where necessary per square foot cost

Contractors must meet the following qualifications and submit the following:
  1. Have at least 5 years’ experience working on historic masonry projects
  2. Submit a letter detailing previous historic preservation experience including a statement that the contractor has read and understood the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards
  3. Provide at least 3 examples of previous work with names and contact information of references.
  4. Provide WV Contractor Number
  5. Contractor must carry WV Workers Compensation and Insurance Certifications with the Greenbrier Historical Society and City of Lewisburg as additional named insureds. 
  6. Have the ability to complete the project by December 31, 2022.
  7. Provide Price for the above listed base bid work (repoint and remove paint on approx. 128 square feet)
  8. Provide price for add-alternate pricing for removing paint from entire building 
  9. Provide price for additional spot repointing where necessary per square foot cost

Contractor selection will be based on experience, proven ability to complete a project and cost.  All proposals must provide 30 days for acceptance from the due date.  

The GHS and PAWV reserves the right to reject any and all proposals and to waive minor administrative oversights.  The contractors will be reimbursed for services rendered up to the contract amount. All changes in scope must be pre-approved by the GHS and PAWV. Contractors will not be reimbursed for travel expenses, or any costs incurred in preparation of this proposal. The contractor will be paid in increments based on satisfactory completion of specific stages of the project. The balance will be paid after approval of the work by the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia. ​

Mortar Analysis
Pink Library
Lewisburg, West Virginia
​August 22, 2022
On Thursday, August 18, 2022, David Arbogast, architectural conservator, of Davenport, Iowa received a mortar sample from Sandra Scaffidi of Practical Preservation in Fairmont, West Virginia. The sample was taken from the Pink Library in Lewisburg, West Virginia and was submitted for analysis to determine its composition. 

The analysis commenced on Saturday, August 22, utilizing the acid digestion testing procedure developed by E. Blaine Cliver, former Regional Historical Architect of the North Atlantic Region of the National Park Service. This relatively simple procedure dissolves the lime and/or cement content of the mortar using a 20% solution of hydrochloric acid. The carbon dioxide released as a result of the reaction displaces water, which is then measured and used to calculate the soluble content of the mortar. The insoluble fines and sand remaining from the reaction are factored into the equation resulting in a final result. In the case of cement samples, the remaining fines are used to calculate the cement content of the mortar. The remaining sand is then carefully sieved and graded by grain size to provide a means of identification of the various sand types encountered. 

The sample was brown and exceedingly soft in its consistency. It had a fast and foamy reaction which resulted in a moderate water displacement. The sample filtered rapidly with the filtrate color being the typical yellow-green. There was an exceedingly large proportion of brown fines. They most likely were dirt. All of the aforementioned attributes are indicative of mortar consisting of lime and sand only. The sand sieve analysis revealed very fine sand. All of it passed through the largest sieve with nearly exactly 3/5% stopped in the second largest sieve. Some of it was present in the third largest sieve, although not enough to register any weight with almost exactly 1 3/4% caught in the fourth largest sieve. A smidgeon more than 19 2/5% remained in the finest sieve with just less than 78 1/4% travelling through all the sieves to the base.
