A Letter to the Membership from our President…
Some thirty years ago I ran into an old high school classmate who asked me
where I was living. I said that I had moved into the Historic District. With a look
of pity in his eyes and a “tut-tut” on his lips, he blathered on about our “noble
but failed experiment in downtown revitalization.” He was talking about the
neighborhood I had grown to love, and I found his attitude more than a little
irritating. Yet at the time I could think of no response other than a ridiculous
“Oh, really?”
Now, as President of Historic Columbus, I get a chance to respond (three
decades later) to that “failed experiment” comment. I feel compelled to
pontificate. Though this city has had enormous success in revitalization, there
is still a prevalent attitude that “hysterical” preservation is hardly worth the
effort. And, conversely, that the qualities in our community, that we take for
granted today, have occurred with but little sweat, sacrifice, or swag. What I
have to say has been percolating for a very long time.
I am honored to be President of this terrific organization. Past Presidents
have been pillars of our community, philanthropists, business icons, and
financial wizards---wise and astute leaders all. You now have me. I can only
humbly imagine what my predecessors are thinking: this venerable institution
has been handed over to someone with limited social skills and a poor grasp of
the term “responsible adult.” I am honored and truly intimidated to be in this
position.
What I bring to Historic Columbus is commitment. I have served
continually, for more than a quarter of a century, as a regular or ex-officio
member of the Board of Directors. I have represented HCF on city boards. I have
also worked with all five of our Executive Directors in various capacities, from
volunteering for events, to providing artwork, to hands-on preservation
projects. With the help of Historic Columbus, I have personally renovated 14
properties in the original city historic district. My home, my business, my
investments are all tied up in this historic neighborhood. In partnership with
Historic Columbus, I think I have a pretty good record for getting things done.
And next to my family and my work, this organization is closest to my heart--it represents home and community for me.
I have seen first-hand the enormous impact that Historic Columbus has
had on our town. We have encouraged renovations, we have committed time
and resources to worthy projects, we have fought to sustain our community’s
historic fabric, we have been advocates for smart growth, and we have been
leaders in public-private partnerships that have changed the character and
dynamic of this community for the better. I am proud of my role in this
organization and will try hard not to embarrass us over the next couple of
years.
With an organization such as this, leadership is not about consensus, or
committee, or referendum. It is not about majority rules or testing the waters.
It is not about “the tried and the true”, polling data or market surveys. Nope.
Being active in Historic Columbus over the years, I have observed that
leadership is really about one damn fool latching on to an idea with tenacity
and doggedness, persuading others of the merits of that idea, and fighting to
see it through. This is what I refer to as the Greater Fool Model of Leadership.
[I can sense a collective shutter pass through the staff and board.]
I became fascinated with this concept after seeing an episode of the HBO
series, “The News Room.” As explained on that show, “The greater fool” is
actually an economic term. It refers to a patsy. For the rest of us to profit in
this society, we need a greater fool to buy long and sell short. Most people
spend their entire lives trying not to be the greater fool. He is the one left
holding the hot potato, left standing when the music stops.
But the greater fool is also someone with just the right combination of
self-delusion and self-confidence. Against all odds, he has the courage of his
own convictions. Not content with the status quo, this fool has the audacity to
think he can succeed where others see only failure. He sees worth where
others see only obstructions. I would contend that this whole country, and
certainly our community, has been made by greater fools.
This is not about the “Vision Thing.” The greater fool is not a dreamer, but
a doer. He does not throw out his idea with the expectation that someone else
will take the ball and run with it. No, this fool owns his idea. It possesses him
with passion and fervor to see it through.
Greater fools fought to save the Springer when political and economic
interests knew that what downtown really needed was more parking spaces.
What good, they asked, is an obsolete opera house? Then there were all those

So our fools put in the labor and long hours required, overcome the
difficulties, and improbably, bring their project to a successful conclusion. And
guess what? Their ideas are no longer foolish, but in retrospect, deemed
visionary, shrewd, and smart. The whiners and complainers crawl back from
whence they came. And the product of that “foolish” labor becomes just one
more piece in the fabric that makes our community an interesting and
enjoyable place to live.
And this is an exciting time to live in Columbus. Uptown is humming with
vitality. Our historic districts are thriving. We have art, music and theatre
galore. We are garnering a lot of national attention: We are one of the 100 Best
Places to Live in 2014. We have one of the Top 12 Man-Made Adventures in the
World. Visitors are raving about what we have accomplished and they
continually remind us that we have something special here. That special
something is the result of the hard work Historic Columbus and our community
have done. We have taken existing
historic resources and made them an

sayers, the cynics; those good people who seem to know the price of
everything and the value of nothing.
Being a fool is not easy. It requires steadfast resolution--hanging in there,
even in the face of repeated, abject, soul-searing failure. Unlike the cynics, who
are always dead-certain, we fools are plagued by doubts. Just a bit of
encouragement can go a long way. As a little boy once told a great fool of

literature (Winnie the Pooh), “Promise me you’ll always remember: you’re braver
than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

individual fools who, against better judgment, saw value in the dilapidated old
homes by the river. There is an interesting story of the two influential fools
who presumed they could reverse the decades long decline of our central
business district through sheer force of will (and, of course, money). They
created Uptown, Inc. and hired another great fool to run it.
As a community of fools, we voted to tax ourselves, with some pie-in-thesky notion that we would improve our quality of life (because of that
foolishness we now have, among other things, the Rivercenter). Who but a
fool would think of turning a sewer project into a recreational venue? I can
personally attest to the fact that 20 years ago, the Seventh Street
Redevelopment Project was accomplished by a pair of obstinate fools. Some
fool decided to move the college’s art and music departments downtown.
What about condos in the old riverfront textile mills? Only a fool would
imagine that people would pay good money to live in an uptown loft! And one

This Place Matters is a photo-sharing campaign that was started by
the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2008 to help raise
awareness for and celebrate many culturally diverse and unique
communities across the United States. Why do places matter? They
matter because they are a part of our universal story, one of the ties
that bind our history, culture and values together. They reflect where
we have been and where we are going.
St. John A.M.E. Church
1516 5th Avenue
St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church was built in 1870 and was
originally called “St. John Chapel.” The building is significant because of
its place in Columbus’ religious history and its architecture.
St. John’s mother church, St. James A.M.E. located on Sixth Avenue,
is the second oldest church of the denomination in Georgia (St. Phillips in
Savannah being the oldest) thereby making St. John the second oldest
A.M.E. congregation in Columbus. The building was also originally
designed as an African Methodist Episcopal Church during a time when
such architectural quality was not the norm for Southern Black Churches.
Built as one story on a raised basement, it features Victorian
elements common to civic buildings in the late 19th Century. It is one of
the very best churches architecturally because of the simplicity of its
Victorian Gothic style – almost Romanesque in the bold formality and
directness of its brick work. The front façade also features a one story
round tower to the north and a two story square tower to the south. It
also has a rectangular floor plan with gable roof and arched stained glass
windows.
Through the years, the church has seen many Reverends and
congregations, many renovations, and unfortunately a tornado which did
significant damage to the structure. In 1990, Mr. Ronzell Buckner
spearheaded an effort to rebuild the church and use it as an African
American historical and cultural center. The needed funds were not raised
and his project was never realized. The building was last rehabilitated in
1992 by Larry Bussey who has owned the property for a little over
twenty years. Currently, the building is empty and available for lease or
sale. It is our hope that a sympathetic owner will be found and that this
wonderful building will see new life and spirit once again.
St. John A.M.E church was placed on the National Register of
Historic Places in 1980 and is also on the Black Heritage Trail.

renovation to be completed in 2016. The building, one of
Columbus' most significant historic educational resources, will
be redeveloped into Senior Housing by Florida-based developer,
Beneficial Communities. The project will be receiving Low
Income Housing Tax Credits through the Department of
Community Affairs along with taking advantage of the State
and Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credits. This property, located
adjacent to Historic Columbus’ "Waverly Terrace Church," was
placed on the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation's Places in
Peril List in 2012. Historic Columbus is thrilled to see a renewed
interest in this Historic District and one of Columbus' most
significant historic properties.

current Booker T. Washington residents in order for the Housing
Authority to redevelop the BTW site.
Along with newly designed apartments at BTW, there will also
be a commercial component added to the site along Victory Drive
and a portion of Veterans Parkway. The renovation of BTW will bring
more life to the two Historic Districts bordering the property – the
Liberty Heritage Historic District and the Columbus Historic District.

Located along the Chattahoochee River just north of the TSYS campus all the
way to the southern edge of Bibb City, the City Village neighborhood has
long been forgotten by many Columbus residents. Originally designed to
provide housing for employees of City Mills and Columbus Manufacturing
Company (now Johnston Mill Lofts), this neighborhood lies on one of the
most scenic stretches of the river near Columbus.
The City of Columbus has set aside funds to develop a master plan for
the neighborhood to include redevelopment plans, a look at infrastructure
and areas for new infill development. The overall idea is to create a
walkable urban neighborhood that would attract new businesses and
possibly new industry to the area.
Historic Columbus was chosen to serve as the administrator of the
master plan phase and will serve along with project chairmen, Marquette
McKnight with Media, Marketing, and More and Phil Tomlinson of TSYS.
It is our hope to select a consultant for the master plan in the coming
months and have a detailed master plan for the community within a 12month period. We will keep you posted on this exciting project.

6th annual Preservation for Profit Workshop
Historic Columbus will host its 6th Annual
Preservation for Profit event on Thursday, March
27, 2014 at the Columbus Trade Center. The event
will be held in partnership with the Greater
Columbus Georgia Chamber of Commerce and the
Coalition for Sound Growth.
The event will begin with a breakfast
keynote address at the Chamber's Eye Opener
Breakfast by preservation economist Don
Rypkema. Mr. Rypkema is principal of
PlaceEconomics, a Washington, D.C.-based real
estate and economic development-consulting
firm. The firm specializes in services to public and
non-profit sector clients who are dealing with
downtown and neighborhood commercial district
revitalization and the reuse of historic structures.
In the US Rypkema has worked with such groups
as the Urban Land Institute, the Mayors’ Institute
on City Design, the American Planning
Association, Smart Growth America, and the
National Trust for Historic Preservation. Federal
Government clients have included the US State
Department, the Departments of Interior and
Defense, HUD, and the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation.
Speakers will present to the lunch hour.
Featured Speaker Clay Chapman will walk the
group through the details of one of his latest
projects located just outside Columbus. The home
Mr. Chapman constructed was a solid masonry
house built for $80/SF. His insistence on quality
construction and methods makes for a building
model almost incomprehensible by most in the
building industry.

HCF Intern
Board of Directors Retreat
On Tuesday, February 11th, Historic Columbus’ Board of Directors spent four hours prioritizing and discussing the organizations
preservation projects, programs, and events. Mark McDonald, President and CEO of the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation,
facilitated the retreat. The morning was full of good conversation and visioning for our future projects. The staff is grateful to
the Board for their continued leadership and support of this organization.
Logan Kipp joined Historic Columbus for a six-week
internship this winter to help create baseline data for the
upcoming City Village project while learning about historic
preservation and urban planning . Logan is a University of
Florida graduate and has been using GIS (Geographic
Information Systems) to map demographic, business, and
property ownership information for the City Village
community. This information will provide the Stakeholder
Committee with invaluable information to begin work
along with providing essential data for a consultant who
will be hired to develop a master plan in the coming
months. Thanks to Logan for getting the City Village
Master Plan effort off to a great start.

Schwob School of Music’s 2013 Holiday Tour of Homes
On December 8th, Historic Columbus and Columbus State
University’s Schwob School of Music partnered for a

orchestrated a wonderful weekend. On behalf of both
organizations, we are thankful to all of our homeowners,
