1525 Coleman Avenue & The Craftsman Style in Macon

By Nathan A. Bevil

The Craftsman Bungalow is one of the most popular

and universal building types in the United States.

Characterized by a low-pitched roof, a porch, and an open

floor plan, the bungalow was one of the first national

building types, where elements like overhanging eaves and

large front porches were used across the country. The

bungalow developed out of the Arts & Crafts Movement

and the adoption of the bangalo building type from the

British Raj.

Rehabilitation to Begin on

Maple Street Houses…………..10

The bungalow began to appear in the United States as early

as 1860, but the small house with overhanging eaves and built-in

furniture did not become popular in mainstream American

neighborhoods until the late 1900s and early 1910s. The growth of

bungalow neighborhoods was spurred by the development of street-

cars and paved roads, as well as the growing desire to live outside of

the gritty, industrial city.

The arrival of the bungalow in Macon came as the city

began to grow by leaps and bounds, extending out into suburban

Bibb County with new roads and the Macon Railway & Light

Company’s streetcars. The railroads, which served to make Macon

one of the hubs for national transport, also blackened the city skies

and created a desire for many residents to escape from downtown.

The bungalow served as the perfect middle class housing type, and

its Indian roots made it well suited to the Southern climate.

The Coleman Avenue home is a great example of an early

middle class bungalow. The wide front porch welcomes people in,

and provides a place for the owner to blur the line between inside

and outside. (Continued on page 4)

We are very lucky to live in a community that takes its heritage so very seriously.

Macon is a beautiful place with over 5,500 buildings listed on the National Regis-

ter of Historic Places, the greatest honor for a building in the United States. Caring

for an architectural heritage so large and diverse takes energy, hard work and

determination. Most of all, it takes a commitment from the entire community. I am

proud to live in a city that has made that commitment.

Thanks in large part to your advocacy, the State of Georgia is very interested in the

Atlantic Cotton Mills project. We expect a decision very soon on that grant. Chair-

man Sam Hart’s leadership and his fellow commissioners and encouragement from

our members helped keep the Courthouse annex downtown. We still have hard

work to help pass the SPLOST to create this annex, but I believe its location will

have the best possible economic impact. Finally, we have an opportunity to

enhance tax credits for historic preservation to encourage green building. A bill is

before Congress right now that will accomplish that task. Please visit our website

to learn how you can encourage our leaders in Washington to support preservation

by passing this bill.

Historic Macon Foundation is here to enable you to advocate for the places that

matter to you. We are lucky to have so many places worth caring about. Thank you

for your help with our recent advocacy issues and look out for more information

about how you can work in our community to support historic preservation, envi-

ronmental conservation, smart growth and economic development.

Well what can I say about the last 3 months? Since I took over as President on September 1^st , we have pulled off a hugely success-

ful flea market, with a clearance sale a month later. A great evening event at Charlene Plantation with Chuck and Rose Lane Leavell

followed. Kathryn Stockett’s reading at the Douglas Theater was a big success, as our Sidney Salon’s series continues to grow in

popularity. The staff has settled into their new offices upstairs of the Sidney Lanier Cottage. We even renovated and sold a historic

house within 45 days!

None of this could have been accomplished without our fabulous and dedicated volunteers and generous donors; they are truly the

heart of the organization. Not to say the staff has not been working hard also. Josh has now had 9 months on the job and is showing

no signs of fatigue, yet. He has done a great job of managing our construction projects. He has redesigned and launched the new and

improved web site, if you have not checked it out yet I encourage you to do so soon. Janis has been working diligently to get all our

membership records up-to-date and increase our ranks, while keeping the cottage running smoothly. We welcomed Nathan Bevil to

our staff as events and preservation coordinator, and we broke him in during the flea market. Cantey continues to keep our finances

in line and flowing smoothly. They are one of the most dedicated and hard working staff I have ever had the pleasure of working

with.

As we enter this holiday season I hope everyone will take a moment and reflect on what you have accomplished during the past year,

and what you hope to accomplish in the coming one. As you look forward I hope you will keep Historic Macon toward the front of

your thoughts. We cannot continue growing, and do the great work we have started without your continuing support. Whether it

is volunteering for one of our many opportunities, or your monetary donations, keep in mind it is to fulfill our purpose and mission.

I look forward to a great 2010 and wish everyone a wonderful Holiday Season and a prosperous New Year.

One of Historic Macon’s latest projects is the National Register Nomination and state tax credit application for the L.P. James House in James, Georgia. This intact Victorian mansion is a great example of the type of home built by the wealthy in the post-Civil War South. The house, just outside of Gray, was the home of L.P. James, for whom the community was named. The building is an 11 room Victorian home with a wrap-around porch. Several original outbuildings still surround the structure, providing a sense of the post-war cultural landscape of large homes. The homestead also features some distinct architectural features, such as detailed wainscoting and very elaborate moldings. The L.P. James House was built by one of Jones County’s most prominent families. A Confederate soldier, L.P. James returned to Jones County and worked for the Georgia Railroad. The fortune he accumulated allowed him to buy thousands of acres of land and start a number of businesses, including lumber milling, peach growing, and a general store. The community that grew up around the home, the James Community, still exists, though it has since lost its

official town status when the post office left. Despite the good times and the bad times over its 120 year history, the L.P. James house has lost little of its original fabric or charm. Historic Macon looks forward to making sure that the house receives recognition on the National Register of Historic Places as one of the best examples of post-war vernacular Victorian architecture in Georgia.

The Craftsman Style Continued from page 1

The overhanging dovetailed eaves are an element retained from the building’s Indian roots, and the natural shingle siding ties the building to nature and natural building materials. The interior features a number of Craftsman elements, most notably the built-in furniture in the living room and kitchen. Also, the sun room in the rear of the house serves to bring more of the natural outdoors in, tying the house to its environment.

Preservation Advocacy Updates By Nathan A. Bevil

The Bibb County Commission has voted to keep the County Courthouse in downtown Macon on Mulberry Street. The plan now proposed by the County is to build a new annex on Mulberry Street. This decision comes after a long study over building a new central government center on Oglethorpe Street, led by local firm Brittain Thomson Bray Brown. Although the current plan is the least-expensive option studied, construction of the annex will still require a SPLOST and the Commission will need our support to secure that funding. This decision is success for our city and downtown Macon.

The grant application for the Atlantic Cotton Mills Rehab is still pending, with the state requesting more information before moving ahead the with project funding. You will remember that the Atlantic Mills redevelopment will create new housing options near downtown, will generate over $200,000 a year in tax revenues, and save one of Macon’s old cotton mills.

From the National Trust for Historic Preservation: The United States Congress is set to act on the Community Restoration & Revitalization Act, a bipartisan bill designed to amend and expand the benefits of historic preservation on the federal level. This bill will not only expand the historic rehabilitation tax credits, but will also allow for smaller businesses to receive more funding, will allow for more sustainable practices to be accepted, and will allow non-profits and other previously exempt organizations to utilize federal funds for rehabilitation.

The recent Telegraph Perspective’s “Move over Little Richard, make way for Macon’s original multitalented superstar” explained how our Sidney Lanier is a real national figure in American Music & Letters and our region’s first successful Fine Artist. It also explains why our Fine Arts Magnet School, Central High School, honored him at the Dedication Ceremony of their splendid new campus on November 1, 2009.

While dedicating parts of this amazing new facility to past administrators and schools, his triumphant return to the Central campus goes beyond a simple nod to the old Lanier High School, or else we would find simply a new Lanier Auditorium. Instead, school officials recognized his accomplished role as a Fine Artist, performing musician, and potential motivating influence on today’s students and named the area “The Sidney Lanier Performing Arts Center.”

The first public high school in Macon in 1871 was, ironically, named Central High School. Historic Macon is particularly proud of the preservation project by the Medical Center of Central Georgia of the 1913 Sidney Lanier High School. Their “Lanier Building” still features the original school plaque stating “Named in honor of Sidney Lanier – Poet – Musician - Scholar – Soldier – Gentleman.”

Further testimony to Sidney’s power to motivate is now found towering at the very front door of the 2009 Central High School building at the new “wall” and amongst ROTC plaques, the 1927 plaque from the 1920’s Lanier High proclaiming: “Sidney Lanier, a Musician, whose genius matched his superb soul – a Poet, whose diamond tipped pen raced with death and won for all time – a Christian in word and deed – a Soldier without fear and without reproach.” Welcome home Sidney to the CHS campus and may you continue to inspire!

A BIRTHDAY CONCERT FOR SIDNEY LANIER By Janis Haley

Peter H. Bloom, a Boston-based concert flutist known for his expertise with historical flutes and the music of 19th century America, will give a recital on February 7, 2010 at 2:00 pm, celebrating the music of Sidney Lanier and illustrating Lanier’s relationship with famed American flute maker Alfred G. Badger. The Sidney Lanier Cottage is home to a rare alto flute by Badger, which was played at one time by Lanier and is probably the only surviving example of an alto flute made in 19th century America.

Mr. Bloom will perform on an extraordinary Badger concert flute from his own collection, featuring several pieces by Lanier (including Wind Song, Les Moucherons, and Lanier’s variations on Verdi’s aria “Il Balen” from La Traviata). In between the musical selections, he will provide entertaining commentary on the work of Alfred Badger, including illustrations with his own flute and the alto flute in the Lanier Cottage collection (which is not playable for concert purposes but can be demonstrated briefly). Mr. Bloom will also discuss the intriguing relationship between Lanier and Badger, including quotes from their letters and journal entries. The program will offer new and fascinating insights about the flute in the Lanier Cottage collection and Lanier’s close collaboration with the greatest American flute maker of the 19th century.

Peter H. Bloom is a distinguished soloist and ensemble flutist whose career encompasses a wide range of chamber music from period-instrument performances to premieres of new music. He is also a noted jazz artist. Mr. Bloom was a winner of the Noah Greenberg Award of the American Musicological Society for his work in 19th century American music. He has given solo recitals from Boston to Bangkok; tours widely with leading classical and jazz ensembles; and appears on 30 CDs, including recordings for Dorian, SONY Classical, Newport Classic, North Star, Leo Records and others. Mr. Bloom serves as historical performance consultant for The American Museum in Britain, The New-York Historical Society, The American Antiquarian Society, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, where he has given numerous lecture-demonstrations and has recorded for the Museum’s audio guide to historical woodwinds.

Mr. Bloom has particular expertise in historical flutes by American makers and music heard in 19th century America. He has written scholarly articles and has lectured and performed extensively on flutes by 19th century American makers, with a specialty in the instruments of the illustrious New York maker Alfred G. Badger. Mr. Bloom’s work in this field includes a lecture-recital for The New York Flute Club (The Flute in 19th Century America), featuring the music of Sidney Lanier performed on flutes by Badger; a lecture-demonstration for the Boston Museum of Fine Arts showcasing two Badger flutes newly acquired by the museum; and a recording for the Dorian label of concert mu-sic heard in 19th century America performed on a Badger flute. Mr. Bloom is author of the A.G. Badger entry in Lexikon der Flöte.

Mr. Bloom holds a Master of Music with distinction in flute performance from the New England Conservatory of Music and a BA in philosophy from Boston University. He is a board member of The James Pappoutsakis Flute Competition and served previously on the board of the Soci-ety for Historically Informed Performance.

Historic Macon Awarded Major GrantsHistoric Macon Awarded Major GrantsHistoric Macon Awarded Major GrantsHistoric Macon Awarded Major Grants By Jeff Logan

Historic Macon Foundation was awarded $136,250 in grants from the

Knight Neighborhood Challenge on November 23, 2009 at a press conference in

Mercer Village. John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Trustee and

long-time Historic Macon supporter Beverly Olson was on-hand for the

presentation. These grants provide new and innovative ways to encourage

historic preservation, recognize and experience our heritage and beautify

the College Hill District. Here are the new programs:

1) Green Field Day, $5,000– This sponsorship will enable our PIC Green

Field Day in Tattnall Square Park on April 17, 2009 . We will recruit

vendors and presenters from across the region to demonstrate how we can

lessen our environmental impact and make our lives more energy efficient.

There will be a special focus on making historic buildings more efficient.

2) Living History Map, $30,000– Historic Macon Foundation will create

an online living history map with researched histories and historic photographs of 30 venues within the College Hill

Corridor. Users will be able to upload their own photos, videos and sound bites about how they use these historic

places. The map will continue to grow and change with new stories.

3) Neighborhood Tree Nurseries, $31,250- In the style of community gardens, we will work with volunteer David

Thompson to create a shade-tree nursery in a vacant lot in College Hill. The nursery will temporarily fill in a vacant lot,

providing visual interest. The nursery will also supply trees to the district to increase our shade tree coverage from its

current level at 6% to at least 25%, which is required for pleasant walking areas.

4) Facade Loan Program, $70,000– Our new facade loan program will enable building owners to improve the

appearance of their facades and landscaping. Owners can apply for loans of $5,000 or $10,000 with 10 year terms and

2% interest rates. This fund will be available in perpetuity to beautify buildings in College Hill and maintain our

architectural heritage.

While all of these programs are very exciting, it means a tremendous amount of new work. We will be counting on our

volunteers to help implement these programs. Please check our website for updates and details about these programs.
