A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

You, the members of Historic Macon, constantly impress me. Working alongside you while volunteering has the feel of an old-fashioned barn raising. Everyone pitches in. There is laughter. There is a sense of community and camaraderie. Strangers become friends with a shared purpose. Afterwards we celebrate another blighted building renovated, another part of a neighborhood revitalized, another important story told, another dollar raised to add to the cause of historic preservation. Preserving our history makes us more thoughtful stewards of our future. Revitalizing old neighborhoods preserves a tolerant mix of income levels and culture, reduces crime and increases homeownership. You make all of that happen. You roll up your sleeves to work events, make phone calls and share your talents. You come from every walk of life and from all over middle Georgia. What you have in common is a passion to preserve our local legacies and a willingness to share your resources to rebuild a better Macon. On behalf of Historic Macon Foundation, thank you!

If you have been meaning to get more involved, please do. I promise you will enjoy it. Tell us what interests you and how you’d like to help. Nine committees meet monthly: Membership, Events, Cottage, Rose Hill, Strategic Planning, Finance, Executive, Preservation, and Education/PR. Each includes one of our excellent staff members plus a great volunteer chair and inclusive fellow preservationists to help you get acquainted. To learn more, give us a call or email Jennifer Mayer at jmayer@historicmacon.org and ask to be added to the contact list for committees that interest you. See the meeting schedule below. Note that the Rose Hill Committee is new and needs members! Contact Historic Macon if you are interested in being part of that committee. Bring your friends to a fundraising event, or ask them to help you with committee work. Then, when they tell you how much they enjoyed it, invite them to join Historic Macon. They can check out the website, www.historicmacon.org, to learn about projects, finances, board members, committees and to see the calendar of events. There’s also information to help owners of historic buildings learn how to get tax credits, apply for low interest façade loans and more.

We need members from all parts of our community. By volunteering, you protect our endowment, preserve our revolving funds, maximize the power of your membership dues and multiply the effectiveness of our terrific staff. Volunteer and you’ll enjoy the esprit de corps that makes being a member of Historic Macon satisfying and fun!

HISTORIC MACON WELCOMES TWO NEW EMPLOYEES

Historic Macon Foundation is easing unemployment literally one job at a time. Thanks to a grant from the College Hill Alliance, Historic Macon Foundation was able to add a full-time employee in addition to welcoming a new face to an existing position. Please

help us welcome these two new professionals to Historic Macon Foundation and to Macon.

Carrie Cameron Robinson, Preservation Designer—From Asheville, NC, Carrie and her husband Will just relocated to Macon, GA. Carrie holds an undergraduate degree from Mercer University in Studio Art and Photography and a Master’s Degree from Savannah College of Art and Design in Interior Design. After her very successful room at our 2011 Decorators’ Showhouse, Executive Director Josh Rogers was anxious to recruit Carrie to staff saying, “Carrie brings design sensibilities that complement historic architecture while fitting a contemporary lifestyle. Our Trustees and Staff believe Carrie will attract new audiences to Macon’s historic districts, showing off just how cool historic spaces can be.” Carrie’s position as Preservation Designer was grant-funded by the College Hill Alliance and her primary responsibility is to assist with development in Macon’s burgeoning Beall’s Hill neighborhood. Carrie will work with our general contractors to guide construction, design floor plans for rehabilitation projects, select finishes and colors, and stage completed houses for sale.

Jennifer Mayer, Marketing and Public Relations Coordinator—Too often, our Trustees and members regret that we do not tell people enough about what Historic Macon Foundation is doing, despite the fact that we are having such a huge impact in improving Macon. That is all about to change with the addition of Jennifer Mayer to staff. “After an exhaustive national search with over 80 applicants, Jennifer Mayer was head and shoulders above the rest. It was a real coup to recruit Jennifer to Historic Macon Foundation,” said Executive Director Josh Rogers when the search concluded. Led by volunteers James and Jodi Palmer from Macon Magazine, the search committee wanted a professional who would be able to use technology and creativity to spread the word about Historic Macon Foundation’s work and recruit new audiences to help preserve and revitalize Macon. Jennifer, from Baton Rouge, LA, holds a degree from the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia in Public Relations. Her primary responsibility will be to help our members and constituents stay informed and get involved in historic preservation. In addition, Jennifer will provide support for our fundraisers and educational events.

923 WASHINGTON AVE. | THE SANDERS HOUSE

“The Sanders House” remained in the ownership of the same family until the late 1950s, when a succession of owners followed, including a sorority from Wesleyan College. In a 1950s interview recorded by the Middle Georgia Historical Society, Mrs. Sanders remembered that the house was constructed by Macon builder Mr. Henry Behr. At the time, Behr was a resident of 1040 Elm St., which is still standing on the same street as two of Historic Macon’s recently sold rehabilitated homes.

Mrs. Sanders also recalled that the house’s close proximity to Washington Ave. was perhaps a request from her ancestors who hailed from Washington, D.C., and were accustomed to city dwelling.

In the early 1990s, the home was restored by John and Kathy Fox as a single-family home. Later, the home was sold to Charles Ruffin, who converted the building to serve as his law office. A fire in 2009 nearly consumed the building, but thanks to the fast work of the Macon Fire Department, most of the building survived. In 2011, Ruffin generously donated the home to Historic Macon Foundation in hopes that it could be restored to its former beauty and passed down to future generations.

The most notable feature of the architecture of this home is the brickwork on the front façade, consisting of very

fine ashlar brick. The Sanders intended to demonstrate their wealth by using real ashlar, probably consisting of imported brick and installed by visiting masons. Passersby can easily notice the joining of this fine brick front façade with less expensive brick on the side and rear elevation. 923 Washington Ave. is one of the finest examples of ashlar masonry in Macon. The Hay House and the Burke House were also built to exhibit this expensive style, but both were constructed by using faux ashlar, which was achieved by using a brick-colored stucco with applied mortar lines. An unusual feature exhibited in this home is an original side veranda, a small porch, which would have originally served as a private outdoor space shielded from the street with doors from the den and kitchen. Also notable are the handsome corbeled brick chimneys, a stark contrast to the restrained masonry. The hundred-year-old pressed tin roof is in great condition and will serve the next hundred years with regular maintenance. Another original feature is wood scrollwork on the front porch balustrade, matching the main stairs inside and at the top corners of the porch columns.

While the overall style is Victorian, it is remarkably more restrained and reserved than such contemporary examples as the Burke House. The architecture begins a slight nod towards the Craftsman style, which was gaining in popularity.

The only ornamentation separate from the porch detail is the modified Roman arch evident over each window with granite blocks at the keystone. The windows were originally two panes over two panes, a configuration that has been restored on the upper front façade. A unique quality includes the matching windows on the front

BY JOSH ROGERS

The land on which the current home at 923 Washington Ave. was constructed was once owned by one of Macon’s most notable residents: Edward Woodliff. Woodliff moved to Macon in 1832 and worked as a barber. He was one of Macon’s first free black entrepreneurs. About 10 years later, he had earned enough to buy his wife Mahala’s freedom for $800. Woodliff owned four barber shops before his death (ad for one of them below) in the late 1890s, along with more than a dozen rental homes, a farm in Ohio and a general store in Philadelphia. He was wildly successful on any terms.

Woodliff purchased the land on which 923 Washington Ave. is now located for $465 in 1866. In 1895, he sold the lot, which probably contained a smaller rental dwelling, for $1,250 to Misters James and J.C. Sanders, owners of the Virginia Furniture

Company (ad right) on Cotton Avenue, now Bibb Music.

The Sanders were relocating from a home down the street. Within a year, they were in residence in the handsome home at 923 Washington Ave.They are listed as owners in 1896, meaning that the current residence was constructed some time between 1895 and 1896.

BY CARRIE CAMERON ROBINSON

The current design for 923 Washington Ave. is very classic and tailored with a few contemporary touches to add interest and flair to the home. Double front doors painted “Macon Green” lead into a small entry where one can hang his or her hat at the end of the day and walk into the beautiful main hall.

Modern light fixtures intermingle with classic antique bronze pieces in the main living areas of the home, and continue throughout the upstairs. As you enter the back kitchen, you can see that it was designed to reiterate the Victorian architecture of the house while bringing the home into the future.

The honed Carrara marble countertops and farmhouse sink with the vintage-style center bridge faucet flow cohesively with the simple white cabinets and herringbone patterned slate floor. Two shelves over the sink made from heart pine boards, found from the attic of the home, complete the comfortable kitchen that is ready for any home chef to prepare food with the new dual-fuel gas range.

Upstairs, the guest bath includes a clawfoot tub that has been with the Sanders House for some time. Completely refinished and adorned with new faucet hardware, one can relax in the extra long tub while looking out of the window at the Hay House through the trees.

The three upstairs bedrooms each have unique fireplace mantles. While not original to the home, they were added many years ago by a previous owner. The master bedroom includes an en suite bath with a Carrara marble topped double vanity and a gorgeous tiled walk-in shower. With two windows in the bathroom, it is flooded with beautiful natural light in the mornings.

Although historic, the house is energy-efficient with such upgrades as spray foam insulation in the attic, walls and basement. All-new plumbing and electrical wiring make this old home new again, perfect for a family who wants the look of a home from the 1890s with the efficiency of a home built in 2011.

ON THE MOVEMERCER UNIVERSITY RELOCATES THREE HISTORIC HOMESHISTORIC MACON TO PRESERVE THEM FOR THE FUTURE

BY JENNIFER MAYER

In the fall of 2011, just as cool weather started to roll into the city of Macon, three historic homes also rolled through the city. The houses were originally located on Coleman Avenue and were moved to Oglethorpe Street in Beall’s Hill to accommodate for Phase II of the Lofts at Mercer Village. Mercer President William Underwood decided to relocate the homes, saving them from demolition while building upon the partnership between Mercer and Historic Macon as well as creating an opportunity for Historic Macon to restore the homes.

“Mercer has enjoyed a productive partnership with Historic Macon over the last few years in the revitalization of Beall’s Hill and other historic neighborhoods around the campus,” Underwood said. “The opportunity to once again work with Historic Macon on this ambitious project continues to advance the missions of both entities while adding to the vitality of the College Hill Corridor.”

The much-anticipated relocation began early in the morning on October 22 in Mercer Village. Atop massive steel beams, the homes slowly began to move. The temporary relocation of power, cable and telephone lines, as well as the removal of two traffic signals, were arranged to accommodate for the house move. Maconites, cameras and phones in hand to capture photos and record videos of the once-in-a-lifetime event, eagerly watched as the homes rolled down Coleman Avenue then onto Ross Street. The homes waited overnight at the block between Hazel and Oglethorpe Streets to move closer to their new lots and to the future.

www.historicmacon.org

On Sunday morning, October 23, the move continued from Ross Street north, then east onto Oglethorpe Street where the houses were finally placed on their new lots.

The homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, were built as part of the planned development of the Huguenin Heights neighborhood, and are Queen Anne-style, two-story frame residences. Much of the detailing was mass-produced by local and national millworks. George F. Barber’s “Victorian Cottage Architecture,” published in 1891, suggests detailing on the homes. An imagined “Residence at Macon, GA” in this work shows much of the millwork on these buildings and probably directly inspired the types of decoration used on the homes.

The houses will be restored and sold to homeowners. Historic preservation easements will be reserved to ensure that the homes are always owner-occupied and maintained to preserve them for the future.

The second phase of the Lofts at Mercer Village will be four stories with three retail spaces on the first floor and student apartments on the top three floors. The look will be similar to spaces in the first phase of the Lofts. The second phase will have a slightly smaller footprint and include space for 72 more student residents. Phase II will sit atop much of the existing parking lot for Mercer Village, so the plans also call for the renovation of the parking areas, as well as the inclusion of new parking on Johnson Avenue, resulting in a gain of more than 100 parking spaces to serve Mercer Village retailers, as well as loft residents.

“This process is a great example of how preservation and progress can work in synergy to remind us of our past and guide us toward a vibrant future,” said Historic Macon Executive Director Josh Rogers. “Mercer should be applauded for investing in College Hill’s revitalization and for preserving these historic buildings. It’s a win for preservation and a win for the community.”

A couple arrived on Maple Street in August 2010, and they are joining an incredible cast of residents in this critically acclaimed neighborhood. Chris Kiker and Amy Abel-Kiker bought their first home in Beall’s Hill for many reasons. Their decision was not a difficult one. As Chris stated, “We looked at the house on Friday and had pretty much decided to sign the contract by Monday. It was a total no-brainer for us!” This decision has been a great one according to Chris and Amy. Historic Macon’s support during the home-buying process eased some of the issues of buying their first home. Amy spoke of how Historic Macon was “guiding [them] through the process” as they became residents of not only a new neighborhood, but also of a new lifestyle.

As the residents of Beall’s Hill can tell you, walkability is a way of life. Coming from rural Georgia, Amy and Chris are enamored with a walkable lifestyle. “In a rural community, you have to drive to get anywhere,” Amy said. Their new home changes that. Chris said he appreciates “the fact that [he] can walk to dinner or downtown for a movie.” This young couple feels “very connected to local culture and society.” This new way of life is unique to a downtown neighborhood like Beall’s Hill, and it is perfectly illustrated by a young, innovative couple like Chris and Amy.

Their beautiful Maple Street home is worth showing to friends and family alike. Amy calls her home “unique, charming and authentic.” This is true of most homes in the neighborhood and especially this gem of Beall’s Hill. She went on saying, “We love the old hardwood floors and fantastic ceilings.”

Moreover, the most exciting fact of all is that they “couldn’t possibly have chosen a home anywhere else with the same character.”

Given the chance to voice their opinion, many local residents could go on for ages on what they would like to change in their neighborhood, but Beall’s Hill is a notable exception. When asked what he would change about the neighborhood, Chris said, “Nothing! We want the perception of our neighborhood from those outside our neighborhood to change.

We love our neighborhood. We know our neighbors. There are kids playing outside, people walking their dogs, jogging and riding bikes.”

Overall, the couple wants the rest of town to know that the Beall’s Hill neighborhood is “a great, safe place.”

Left: Amy and Chris standing in front of their home.

Beall’s Hill is an exceptional success that has enjoyed increased homeownership. One of the many secrets to the success of

this area is the homeowners. The structures, the lawns and the cars in the driveways define many neighborhoods, but in Beall’s Hill, it’s the people.
