HSF ANNUAL REPORT 2014

Dear HSF Member:
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Staff of Historic Savannah
Foundation, we extend warm greetings and sincere thanks for your
support of our mission and operations in 2014.
There are 52 weeks in a year and HSF packed each one with success—
even in the path of an array of hurdles. From challenges to the Height
Map and a green light for more hotels along River Street to the sale
of half of Broughton Street to a private developer, HSF was up to its
neck in issues. And from our Revolving Fund’s purchase and sale of
endangered buildings along Whitaker Street to a well-received Realtor
training workshop, we went a long way towards fulfilling our mission.
In the Chinese tradition, 2014 was the Year of the Horse. Given all we
accomplished this past year, we think it’s appropriate because HSF was
a workhorse! In Chinese lore, the horse is one who makes unremitting
efforts to improve oneself. It is energetic, bright, warm-hearted and
able. We agree. And we continue to plod along.
We’re not taking credit for ourselves. We’re acknowledging and
thanking you—our members and supporters—for giving us the
necessary horsepower to make 2014 a success. Your encouragement,
your resources, your helping hands, and your belief in us propels us
forward. As you read this report of 52 successes and 12 outstanding
highlights, do so with pride because you helped all of this happen in
one form or another. If you were a docent at the Davenport House; if
you donated to our Annual Appeal; if you helped during Preservation
Festival; if you bought a ticket to our Gala; if you helped clean up
a veteran’s cottage on Henry Lane; or if you helped pick up litter in
Cuyler-Brownville…you advanced HSF.
Thank you for the confidence you placed in us and our programs.
Preservation is a chore…like plowing a field. Hold the reins tight, keep
a straight line and press on from sunup to sundown. It’s hard work, but
we never tire because you are with us every step of the way.

HSF RECEIVES THE ROTARY CLUB OF SAVANNAH CENTURY SERVICE AWARD FOR EQUIPMENT
HSF proudly accepted a $1000 grant from the Rotary Club of
Savannah, as part of its Century Service Award to commemorate
the Club’s 100th anniversary of Service Above Self. HSF is using
the funds to provide protective safety gear for students participating
in our Hands on History Program (HOHP) which is geared towards
Savannah Chatham County Public School students.
During last year’s Hands on History summer camp, we were invited
by our camp sponsor, Rives E. Worrell Company, a J. E. Dunn
Construction Company to tour the dynamic restoration project of the
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. In preparing, we quickly realized
that HSF did not have the protective gear required to visit such a
project, and certainly not in the quantity we needed for our students.
Fortunately, we were able to borrow the gear from the Rives E.
Worrell crew and the tour became a reality. Recognizing the value
of this unique opportunity, we did not want to miss out on future
sites and experiences for our students and we decided we needed
our own gear.
Thanks to the Rotary Club of Savannah and their Century grant, we
have been able to purchase protective gear for our HOHP students
and they can now visit a range of historic and active rehabilitation

DAVENPORT HOUSE CARRIES OUT
ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIG ON SITE
YIELDING INTERESTING ARTIFACTS
Project Manager Rita Elliot of LAMAR Institute
People look at you funny when you tell them you are
excited that archaeologists found the Davenports’
privy. They must not know that people in the past
used their privies for more than the obvious. Privies
were the garbage dumps of old and often reveal a
wealth of knowledge about the history of a location.
After committing to do an archaeological survey of
the DH property in January, we got scared that the
property has been so disturbed that there was nothing
there to find. That would have been fine from the
public programming aspect since at least 100 people
came to the site either through the workshop or for
the eight day excavation and learned about the value
of archaeology. By day six of the excavation we were
beginning to feel we had done our “due diligence” and
could leave it at that. Then they found a privy on the

the students took advantage of the rare opportunity for an on-site visit at the Georgia Ports

an insider’s look at the progress of today’s port operation, bringing their understanding full circle. Student and teacher reactions were very
positive. In fact, HSF’s implementation of HOHP into a second school—Woodville-Tompkins High School—has played a role in earning the
school the highest pass-rate for ninth grade History in their school district! n

will be a pleasant memory which will be documented in the 2015 Annual Report. As a development
and production partner with the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) and SCAD, HSF invested
significant resources during the 2014 fiscal year to ensure this re-engineered conference would serve
conference attendees and reflect positively on the City of Savannah.
As the preeminent annual gathering for a wide range of preservation leaders, including architects, developers,
planners, educators, government officials, nonprofit staff, volunteers, activists, historians, and students —
the full report will be meaningful. The 2000 plus visitors who were in Savannah for nearly a week contributed
mightily to the local economy and to our understanding of the importance of preservation.

HSF files a complaint against Zoning Board of Appeals approval for demolition
on Broughton Street
Concerned for the potential loss of an historic building and a pattern of disregard
for MPC staff’s recommendations and Historic District Board of Review’s findings,
HSF appealed the Zoning Board of Appeals decision to allow Ben Carter to
demolish 240 W. Broughton Street. In order to appeal, HSF filed a complaint in
Superior Court. HSF’s standing to file was based on its ownership of property
and easements on Broughton Street. However, due to their distance from the
subject property and prevailing law in Georgia, that position was not on the
firmest ground. After much debate and discussion, the Board of Trustees voted
to withdraw the lawsuit and, instead, reach out to the Mayor and City Council
to convey concerns about the integrity of the review process. That educational
campaign continues in earnest.
Programs, one in the summer for any interested high school
students to learn to give tours to the public. That program began
in 2003. The second program began in 2005 thanks to Savannah
Arts Academy American history teacher Rod MacKay who recruits
students from his classes. Every October, 15 or so SAA students
arrive to participate in the fall program over an eight week period.
Following training both groups come together to volunteer at the
Davenport House. Some JIs become living history performers, others
are program volunteers working with activities such as the Tour of
Homes and Gardens and SuperMuseumSunday. A small number of
JIs become staff docents who give tours at the DH on weekends and
during school holidays. At this point over 200 young people have
taken a JI program preparing them for future stewardship of museum
properties! They make the DH vital and exciting while it give them
communication skill and an affinity for museums in their lives. n

HSF ACKNOWLEDGES THE BEST IN PRESERVATION WITH
ANNUAL PRESERVATION AWARDS CEREMONY

What’s so great about peace, love and understanding…when what you really want is to win a Preservation Award from HSF? Elvis Costello
knows how to write song lyrics, but HSF knows how to bestow awards!
Winning a Preservation Award is really a distinguished honor. Each year, HSF celebrates the best of preservation by presenting Preservation
Awards to individuals and organizations whose contributions demonstrate excellence in historic preservation. We continue to refine the
process, and competition is keener; there are only about a dozen winners each year. When recipients hang their certificate or plaque on the
wall, they do so with HSF’s full faith and confidence that the project is something to be celebrated and emulated. We want our awards to
challenge other property owners to aspire to greatness in restoration and infill construction. So, when HSF acknowledges new infill at 306

people like Aaron Levy for the Nicola Coe Volunteer of the Year Award and Cullen Chambers for the President’s Award (posthumously) in

HSF COMPETES IN THE FIRST ANNUAL
MATTRESS DASH TO RAISE MONEY FOR
SUSTAINABILITY
12
All for a great cause! The first annual “Sustainativity Mattress Dash” was
held on Sunday, September 28, on the south end of Forsyth Park. The Park’s
center walkway was converted into a rip-roaring track as costumed teams
of five people raced mattresses 150 meters all to promote preservation
and the “greening” of historic buildings without sacrificing architectural
integrity. Teams were required to build a racing frame capable of holding
a single mattress and one rider, while being pushed by the remaining
four team members. Proceeds from the Race benefited Historic Savannah
Foundation (HSF). Prizes were awarded for Fastest Team, Greenest Racing
Frame, Judge’s Choice and People’s Choice.
In partnership with Design for Ability, OxForm and Southern Pine,
HSF took the prize for the Greenest Racing Frame with great pride
and merriment. n
HSF contracts comprehensive Economic Impact Study with industry leader Don Rypkema
HSF seized an opportunity to pursue a second grant from the Julia and Richard Moe Fund (see article on Habitat
infill on page 19 from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and spearheaded a professional study of the
economic impacts of preservation on Savannah’s economy. The uniqueness of this report is that it does not dilute
preservation’s impact with heritage tourism numbers. Instead, the study focuses on preservation’s ‘pure’ benefits in
terms of jobs, property values and tax revenues for local governing authorities. The $30k study by Don Rypkema and
PlaceEconomics will affirm HSF’s role in generating jobs and significant economic development in the community.
The report should be ready for distribution in early 2015.
