PAWV RECEIVES GRANT FOR A REVOLVING FUND FEASIBILITY STUDY

3/2/2016

 
By Danielle LaPresta Parker

​This week, the Preservation Alliance of WV received a $15,000 grant from the 1772 Foundation to conduct a revolving fund feasibility study.  The 1772 Foundation, based in Newport, RI, is a national leader in the field of historic properties redevelopment programs. Many non-profit historic preservation organizations establish historic property redevelopment revolving funds to receive donations and other capital, which are used by the organization to either make loans for building renovations or purchase endangered properties that are then resold with easements.  The organization earns either loan repayments or property sales to replenish the revolving fund and continue to redevelop properties across the state. The feasibility study is the first step in the process of developing a historic properties redevelopment program and will help to determine what kind of program will be most effective in West Virginia. “We are thrilled at having this opportunity to start a fresh program in the Mountain State focusing on developing existing cultural assets and are very thankful for the 1772 Foundation’s grant to us,” explained Executive Director Danielle LaPresta Parker.

According to the 1772 Foundation, Executive Director Mary Anthony, “Historic properties redevelopment programs, sometimes known as revolving funds, greatly increase the number of historic buildings we can save and put back into use by the community. Unlike more reactive, traditional preservation models, they are proactive and robust; they move at the speed of the market, using the same tools and financing as for-profit developers. The 1772 Foundation awards grants for real estate education, fellowships, feasibility studies, and business plans in addition to increasing the capacity of existing programs through grants and loans to help grow this increasingly important sector of the historic preservation field.”

Danforth Ely, president of The 1772 Foundation, noted, “We have been promoting the relationship between historic properties redevelopment programs and economic development for many years. I am happy to note that almost half of this year’s grant recipients are receiving 1772 funding for the first time.”

Other grant recipients were the Newport County Development Council ($15,0000, Preserve Rhode Island ($30,000), the Providence Revolving Fund ($75,000), Cincinnati Preservation Association ($15,000); Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation ($37,500); Fairmount Park Conservancy in Philadelphia, PA ($30,000); Germantown United Community Development Corporation also in Philadelphia ($50,000); Heritage Works in Dubuque, IA ($25,000); Historic Columbia Foundation ($15,000); Landmarks Illinois ($15,000); Louisiana Preservation Alliance ($75,000); Maine Preservation ($60,000); Michigan Historic Preservation Network ($75,000); Montana Preservation Alliance ($50,000); National Main Street Center in Chicago, IL ($135,000 – two projects), National Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington, DC ($225,000 – three projects); Preservation Alliance of New Orleans ($50,000); Preservation Maryland ($20,000); Preservation Massachusetts ($37,500); Restore Mobile ($25,000); The L’Enfant Trust in Washington, DC ($100,000); and Waterfront Historic Area League (WHALE) in New Bedford, MA ($150,000).

​The 1772 Foundation was named in honor of its first restoration project, Liberty Hall in Union, NJ, which was built in 1772 and is the ancestral home of the Livingston and Kean families. The late Stewart B. Kean was the original benefactor of The 1772 Foundation. The 1772 Foundation works to ensure the safe passage of our historic buildings and farmland to future generations. More information about The 1772 Foundation may be found at www.1772foundation.org.

The Preservation Alliance of WV is the statewide nonprofit dedicated to historic preservation.  Started in 1982, the Preservation Alliance of WV promotes the re-use of cultural resources.  It administers the Preserve WV AmeriCorps program and the WV Endangered Properties List.

CURT MASON ~ PAWV’S HISTORY HERO

3/2/2016

 
The annual West Virginia History Day was held January 29 2016 at the State Capitol Complex. West Virginia History Day is officially designated by the West Virginia Archives and History Commission as a special day to recognize the state’s rich and varied history and includes displays and reenactments in the Rotunda of the State Capitol as well as recognition to the “History Heroes” of West Virginia.

This year, the Preservation Alliance of WV nominated Curt Mason, of Charles Town.  Since joining the Preservation Alliance of WV Board of Directors in 2011, Curt has worked to make PAWV’s activities more successful.  He has opened his beautiful, historic home in Jefferson County for a PAWV fundraisier and has also invited PAWV to use his home for other fundraising activities, such as hosting PAWV’s quarterly board meeting and fundraising work days.  In addition, Mason works to make PAWV’s name better-known not only in the eastern panhandle but state-wide and nationally.  He represented PAWV at the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s conference and at the Preservation Action annual meeting in November 2015.  He sits on various PAWV committees including the advocacy committee and helps in selecting the WV Endangered Properties List each year.

Curt brings several valuable tools to the preservation table.  For example, he has worked for five years in Jefferson County identifying issues that PAWV may address in Jefferson County.  He is a tireless promoter of historic preservation.  To his contact list of over 1,000 people, Curt shares PAWV news and announcements, which helps to increase our reach to people not already involved in the organization.  Curt has also helped in coordinating historic windows workshops to benefit the old Yellow House on the campus of Shepherd University.  Curt helped to organize the initial two-day workshop and ensured that the windows were restored after an accident occurred that postponed the completion of the windows work.  Curt is dedicated to enhancing historic preservation through his board position by utilizing PAWV staff services for historic properties in Jefferson County. Thank you, Curt!

DR. EMORY KEMP LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD, 2015 HISTORIC PRESERVATION AWARDS

10/14/2015

 
By Sandra Scaffidi, PAWV Board President

This next award recipient is a legend in Marion County.

Joann Lough accepting her award from Dr. Emory Kemp and Logan Smith.

Born and raised in the area, Joann Lough was a natural storyteller.  I’d wager that she gained her love of history from her father, Glenn Lough, author of Marion County’s premier history book, Now and Long Ago.  She attended Fairmont State College where she majored in English, however, her love was to be found in the dramatics.  I think she was a part of every play, musical or drama presented at Fairmont State during her tenure as a student and continued on as a Speech and Communications professor at FSU for 55 years.  She taught thousands of students how to perform in front of a live audience, to express emotion with a subtle glance and to convey the story without breaking character.  It was through her love of theatre that Joann became a preservationist of the Masquers, Fairmont State’s Dramatic Honor Society which was established at Fairmont State Normal School in 1925.  JoAnn brought attention to the distinction and ensured that the documents were properly archived.
Picture
Picture
After her retirement from FSU in 1997, Joann became a dedicated preservationist of Marion County.  One of her first forays into historic preservation was the establishment of the Fairmont Historic Landmarks Commission.  From there, she led the charge to nominate Fairmont’s Woodlawn Cemetery to the National Register of Historic Places.  Perhaps her greatest achievement was saving the Marion County Jail from demolition.  With nothing more than grit, determination, and hard work, she fought tirelessly to protect this building which is now curated as a part of the Marion County Museum and Historical Society.

Joann continues to impress Marion County residents with her dramatic portrayals of Aunt Sukey, also known as the witch of Rivesville.  She also brought Fairmont founder Boaz Fleming and the first governor of the restored state of Virginia, Francis Pierpont to the forefront of Marion County’s consciousness.  She is a tireless researcher and writer who continuously contributes articles and opinion pieces to our local newspapers. She continues to educate West Virginians daily and brings a dose of wisdom and a ready smile wherever she goes.

MOST SIGNIFICANT SAVE OF AN ENDANGERED SITE AWARD, 2015 HISTORIC PRESERVATION AWARDS

10/12/2015

 
The Significant Save of an Endangered Site Award – sponsored by the Wheeling National Heritage Area Corporation – was presented to Happy Retreat in Charles Town, West Virginia.  The award was accepted by Walter Washington on behalf of Friends of Happy Retreat. Walter is a direct descendant of President George Washington.

​In 2010, Happy Retreat was added to the Endangered List.  Happy Retreat is located in Charles Town and was the home of Charles Washington, youngest brother of George Washington and founder of the City of Charles Town.  It is a 6500 square foot mansion situated on a 12.2 acre lot along with several historic outbuildings.  Because of Charles Town’s proximity to Washington DC, the press for residential development had greatly increased and Happy Retreat was put on the market. The threat was that it might be sold to developers and the 12.2 acres would be developed into single or multifamily homes.
Picture
Picture
After almost ten years of tireless fundraising, Friends of Happy Retreat acquired the property and have protected the site from residential development.  Like many preservation projects, this was made possible through effective partnering, as well as generous donations.  Last December, the City of Charles Town and Friends of Happy Retreat agreed to work together to purchase the 12.2-acre property. The City agreed to purchase 10 acres of land, which it will include in a planned linear park along Evitts Run in Charles Town’s West End. Friends of Happy Retreat agreed to purchase the house, historic outbuildings, and the 2.2 acres of remaining land. The Happy Retreat grounds will also connect to existing City of Charles Town park and recreational lands, as part of an overall Charles Town initiative to revitalize the community’s west end.

We are celebrating this acquisition today but please remember that funds are still needed to preserve and re-use the property for an educational facility.

BEST USE OF HISTORIC TAX CREDITS AWARD, 2015 HISTORIC PRESERVATION AWARDS

10/10/2015

 
The Best Use of Historic Tax Credits Award was presented to GJR Enterprises for its use of tax credits in rehabilitating the Riley Law Building in downtown Wheeling.

The rehabilitation of the former Riley Law Building, now the Kaley Center, on the northwest corner of Fourteenth and Chapline Streets in the Central Business District served as a catalyst for the revitalization of other monumental buildings in Wheeling.  As a contributing resource to the National Register listed Wheeling Historic District, the building owner was able to take advantage of historic rehabilitation tax credits.
Picture
Renowned architect Charles W. Bates designed the ten-story masonry structure in 1922.  The building contains typical characteristics of early 20th century commercial architecture with a slender rectangular floor plan, a uniform and logical façade with the dramatic fenestration accenting its verticality.   The open floor plan is constructed with formed in place concrete columns, beams, and floor slabs.  The exterior is accented with several types of brick coursing along with limestone accent banding and other details along the cornice.

Since tenants occupied the building during the renovation, the project was completed in multiple phases.  The first phase included an exterior restoration where the façade brick and limestone accents were cleaned and restored; and the exposed steel lintels at the windows and door openings were recoated and/or replaced. New insulated double-hung windows and trim matching the size, scale and color of the originals replaced the 1970s bronze aluminum single glazed windows.  Once the new windows were installed, the architect’s original design intent expressing the strong contrast between the brick veneer and fenestration once again became prominent.
The second phase of the rehabilitation included the installation of new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems along with a generator which brought the building into code and energy compliance.  New equipment and cab finishes improved the existing elevators while the interior was completely renovated with new finishes complementing the existing conditions.
Picture
The final phase of the project included improving site conditions with new landscaping, paving and parking lot control.

Though the building serves multiple tenants, the building primarily functions as the corporate headquarters for a national roofing company that employs nearly 80 personnel.

Other businesses recognized for their efforts in this project include:
  • Architect: Victor R. Greco, Mills Group
  • Electrical Engineer: CJL Engineering
  • M/P Engineers: FMRW Engineering
  • Structural Engineer: WBCM, Inc.
  • Contractors: Colaianni Construction
  • Façade Restoration: Mariani & Richards, Inc.
  • Electrical: Erb Electric
  • Plumbing: Kucera Plumbing
  • HVAC: York Mahoning Mechanical Contractors
  • Elevator: WV Elevator
  • Sprinkler: S.A. Comunale
  • Window: Specified Systems, Inc.
  • Painting: Karras Painting
  • Floor Finishes: Flagg Floors
  • Casework: Riceland Cabinet

The rehabilitation of the Kaley Center has dramatically improved the skyline of Wheeling and has fostered an interest in the continuing revitalization of other historic buildings in the downtown.

HERITAGE TOURISM AWARD, 2015 HISTORIC PRESERVATION AWARDS

10/9/2015

 
The 2015 Heritage Tourism Award was presented to Dr. David Trowbridge, Associate Professor of History at Marshall University, for his development of the Clio.

Cultural heritage tourism is a buzz phrase very familiar to many people.  People are constantly on the look-out for new ways to market and promote historic properties for local and out-of-state visitors.  For the 2015 Heritage Tourism Award, PAWV is celebrating an exciting educational website and mobile application that presents endless possibilities for linking the ways we connect our heritage and travel.
Picture
The Clio as it is called guides the public to thousands of historical and cultural sites throughout the United States. Built by scholars for public benefit, each entry includes a concise summary and useful information about a historical site, museum, monument, landmark, or other site of cultural or historical significance. In addition, “time capsule” entries allow users to learn about historical events that occurred around them. Each entry offers turn-by-turn directions as well as links to relevant books, articles, videos, primary sources, and credible websites.
