PAWV INTRODUCES BUILDINGS AT RISK REGISTER

2/19/2015

 
​Preservation Alliance of West Virginia introduces the Buildings At Risk Register (BARR). This new program will allow PAWV to better examine preservation needs statewide.  Too often buildings are razed because threats go unreported, and PAWV is striving to minimize the loss of West Virginia’s heritage. There is a need to create a preservation network to prevent such easily avoidable losses in the future. PAWV can utilize its full arsenal – assistance with identifying and applying for grant funding; preservation skill seminars; and local, state, and national publicity to assist in re-using historic sites.  

This goal of PAWV can be accomplished with three easy steps: See. Speak. Save. If you see a property at risk, speak to PAWV, and we will do our best to work with the community to save it.

How does the Buildings At Risk Register work?  When you see an at risk property, you should contact PAWV.  This can be done by submitting an online form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eLl_Md038tM91rOyL-Z-xL8gmywwCWGC9Q0Ymoz1FNY/viewform.

Ideally, you will provide the address of the property and the reason(s) why this property should be considered at risk. Furthermore, any additional information such as former use, last known date occupied, current condition, owner etc. is greatly appreciated. As PAWV collects submissions, we can create a Buildings At Risk Register.  Each submission will be reviewed by a PAWV committee and determined eligible for this register.

Some cases may be eligible for PAWV’s Endangered Properties List, which requires significant community engagement, but gains more PAWV support in return. For more information, please refer to the BARR vs. Endangered Properties List guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lkKwpUhiAcSa7_nporaim-4vLdDH3Wd7FtcShYx3w1o/edit?usp=sharing.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO HOLD PROGRAM ON PRESERVATION AND HERITAGE TOURISM

1/20/2015

 
The Harrison County Historical Society will join with The Preservation Alliance of WV and AmeriCorps to explore the values of partnerships in historic preservation, economic development and heritage tourism on January 27th at the Waldomore, 5:30pm.
Picture
The Waldomore is an excellent example of preservation which has become Clarksburg’s landmark example of showcasing the county’s image through architecture and public use. In addition, the Robinson Grand Theater, The Waldo Hotel, The Gore Hotel, Goff Building and the Olymbec/Chase Buildings are outstanding  examples of current and future rehabilitation of some of Harrison County’s major inner city buildings.  Private homes on “Quality Hill” are excellent examples of that designated historic district.

Shinnston, Salem, West Milford, Lumberport, among other smaller communities, are examples of residents and business owners taking pride in their local heritage. HCHS feels that it takes a community to preserve its history.

The Historical Society will partner with the Preservation Alliance staff to discuss economic incentives, developing community awareness and pride.  Collaboration with local government, along with public and private involvement in preservation will be related to heritage tourism.

The Harrison County Historical Society’s historic house museum, the Stealey, Goff Vance House built in 1807, is a prime example of a historic building that can stand out proudly with further development, renewed use and community involvement.  Discussion, collaboration and promotion can lead to increased economic value.

Preservation Alliance and the Historical Society will offer examples of preservation efforts, building re-purposing, and heritage tourism outcomes. Local business and property owners are encouraged to bring questions, ideas and thoughts on preservation, economic development and heritage tourism for a discussion to follow the presentation.  The Historical Society will continue programs involving both architectural and archival preservation in 2015.

The discussion on community development through preservation and heritage tourism will take place at The Waldomore in Clarksburg, January 27th, 5:30 pm.  Coffee and refreshments will be available. For more information or questions contact Carol at hcwvhs@gmail.com.  For a list of presenters see the web site harrisoncowvhistoricalsociety.org
