Alabama Historical Commission 2019 Grant Program
|
|
The Alabama Historical Commission (AHC) will administer a $750,000 state-funded Grant Program in fiscal year 2019 (October 1, 2018 - September 30, 2019), for improvements as well as educational programming at historic sites in Alabama.
Grants will be awarded to public or private entities who own and operate historic sites in Alabama. Grants will be awarded to entities that reflect an education-based mission, concentrate on educational programming, and reflect the geographical diversity of the state. Preference will be given to publicly-owned battlefields or
structures constructed prior to 1840 that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and historic
school structures. Grant amounts will not exceed $20,000 for any one entity.
In fiscal year 2018, the Historical Commission received over 100 applications requesting more than $4.3 million in funding.
"Last fiscal year the Capital Enhancements Grant Program helped to facilitate several types of improvements, including roof replacements, window restorations, and exterior painting," said Lisa D. Jones, Executive Director of the Alabama Historical Commission. "The goal of the 2019 grant program is to assist historic sites throughout Alabama with both improvements as well as educational programming, which will help preserve them for future generations."
Applicants must complete an official 2019 Historic Sites Grant application available on the AHC website,
here.
Grant Application Guidelines are also available on the AHC website.
Applications must be hand-delivered or mailed to Tryon McLaney, Contracts and Grants, Alabama Historical Commission, by August 15, 2018. Faxed or emailed applications will not be accepted. AHC will announce the grant awards in October 2018. See additional guidelines on the AHC website.

Alabama Historical Commission Concluded Week-Long Mobile River Survey
|
On July 13, 2018, the Alabama Historical Commission (AHC) and its partners concluded a week-long survey of submerged portions of the Mobile River in Mobile County, Alabama, to begin a comprehensive shipwreck inventory and to possibly discover Clotilda, the last known ship to bring enslaved Africans to the United States.
The survey and the resulting underwater dives to examine potential cultural resources was conducted under contract with the Alabama Historical Commission, and with the support of the National Geographic Society, by SEARCH, Inc., a highly experienced cultural resources company that works throughout the United States and internationally.
Funding and support for the project was provided by the National Geographic Society, whose field team was led by archaeologist Dr. Fredrik Hiebert. Also participating in the survey was the Alabama Historical Commission's State Archaeologist Stacye Hathorn, who also co-directed the March project.
Also joining the effort was Kamau Sadiki of the Slave Wrecks Project, a joint initiative of the George Washington University, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History, and the National Park Service. In March, Mr. Sadiki was also a member of the team that assessed the wreck originally thought to be Clotilda.

"I'm honored as a representative of the Slave Wrecks Project to participate in this important work that has great potential for healing from Alabama to Africa. Searching for the Clotilda is a significant step in restoring historical memory, and reconnecting the descendent communities of Africatown and Benin," says Kamau Sadiki of Diving with a Purpose.
The Historical Commission's other partners include the Alabama Department of Conservation & Natural Resources, the City of Mobile, and the Mobile County Commission.
"The Historical Commission was excited to collaborate with National Geographic as well as with state and local organizations," said Major General Walter Givhan, Chairman, Alabama Historical Commission. "The National Geographic Society brings 130 years of experience and a well-deserved reputation for excellence to this project. This organization is a global leader in harnessing breakthrough technologies, such as the maritime equipment utilized during this investigation."
"Our partners have a vested interest in documenting cultural resources in portions of the Mobile River as well as reconnecting the story of Clotilda to a national and international audience," said Lisa D. Jones, Executive Director, Alabama Historical Commission. "This is a story with profound meaning in Alabama, and especially to the descendant community of Africatown."
The Alabama Historical Commission gives special thanks to John Sledge, Senior Architectural Historian for the Mobile Historic Development Commission, and Harbor Master Terry Gilbreath for their efforts and support during this project.
In May, the Historical Commission
contracted with SEARCH
to complete the Phase I remote-sensing survey to locate significant submerged cultural resources. SEARCH previously volunteered staff, a boat, and expertise to examine a wreck initially thought to be Clotilda, and helped lead the examination of that wreck in March of this year.

In July, the four-mile section of river was mapped with overlapping survey lines that together total more than seventy miles of boat runs. The mapping of the river was assisted by an earlier survey conducted by Southern Mississippi University. Their collegiate sharing of data allowed SEARCH to augment its survey to not miss potential resources that lay in the murky waters of the river or beneath its muddy bottom.
The SEARCH survey utilized a magnetometer, which measures the magnetic intensity of objects; a high-resolution side-scan sonar that maps the river bed and what is above the riverbed with sound; and two sub-bottom profilers, sound-based instruments used to look beneath the river bottom to discern what might lie buried there. One of the sub-bottom profilers was provided and operated by a team from the National Geographic Society. The National Geographic team included Arthur Clarke, Sr. Electronics Technologist, Asha Stuart, photographer and videographer, and writer Joel Bourne.
The survey, conducted by SEARCH archaeologists Alex DeCaro, Joseph Grinnan, Kyle Lent and Deborah Marx, located many "targets" that includes previously recorded shipwrecks as well as now newly discovered shipwrecks in the river. Daniel Fiore, SEARCH Creative Designer, captured the discovery process on film.
This section of the river, known historically as a "ship graveyard," holds the remains of several vessels. Some are century-old iron barges, while others, like the wreck examined in March, are wooden-hulled schooners. One of the unexpected finds, is an iron or steel hulled sailing ship of the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. SEARCH archaeologist Alex DeCaro, who made the dive into the dark water, discovered the dramatic sweeping bow of the ship rising out of the mud some five feet off the bottom. Ships like this, many built in Great Britain, sailed the world's routes carrying a variety of cargoes until the rise of steamships pushed them into decline.

It is possible that one of the wrecks, either exposed or buried, is Clotilda. Further analysis of the survey results may provide more clues, as will samples of timber removed from some of the sites.
SEARCH Senior Vice President Dr. James Delgado, who led the SEARCH effort, cautions: "Making a positive identification of a wreck is a difficult if not tricky process not unlike solving a CSI case. Finding an identity involves detailed study, collecting forensic evidence, and then systematically and aggressively questioning not why a wreck might be a certain ship but why it cannot be. Finding Clotilda is one goal of this survey, which is focused on documenting everything we can find that has come to rest in this graveyard of ships, but it will take time to sift through the data, conduct laboratory study and do additional research before we can offer a scientific opinion on a possible Clotilda site. Further study, such as a detailed excavation, might be required. We know that some of the wreck sites found are not Clotilda, but even with that, we have yet to put a name to any of them."
Lisa D. Jones, State Historic Preservation Officer and Executive Director of the AHC, directed SEARCH to map the nearby Civil War wrecks of CSS Tuscaloosa and CSS Huntsville, discovered by the late Sidney Schell in the 1980s. SEARCH also expanded the survey to examine nearby areas of the Mobile River.
"This project will ultimately result in a National Register Maritime Historic District," said Lisa D. Jones. "This district will capture the span of the river's use over the past two hundred years and the numerous ways human history has intertwined with the Mobile River."
Anderson Flen, President of the Mobile County Training School Alumni Association, is one of the community leaders helping with sustaining the educational institutions and history of the Africatown community. "It is extremely exciting for me to be a part of this effort in my community with the many Local, State, National and International players to locate the Clotilda," said Mr. Flen. "It is also a revelation to learn that other ships have been found in the Mobile waters. Their stories need to be told. The level of involvement by so many top officials offers hope in the healing process of an enslaved people, a community and is an example to our nation on working together. Let this process be the shining light of hope on this dark past, that bring good hearts of love together to do the fair and right things."

Part 2
- Continuation of the Details of Window Repair at the Bell Building
The previous AHC newsletter discussed the importance of maintaining historic windows and introduced Old House Specialists (OHS), who are working on a window restoration project at the Bell Building in downtown Montgomery.
The Bell Building has roughly 144 windows on 11 levels. Most of them are wood with one-over-one light configuration, but there are also a number of fire-proof metal windows with wire glass. No one knows what millwork shop manufactured the wood windows in the Bell Building, but OHS says there are clues that tell them they are high-quality windows including the fact that the upper and lower rope-hung-weights are separated by a wood panel to keep them from getting hung up on each other and to ensure smooth operation. Regardless of who made them, they have a time-tested design that enables today's craftspeople to repair them.
OHS developed a system to remove each sash from its opening and number it according to the floor level and location so that it can be returned to its original opening after restoration. The top and bottom sash are transported to their workshop on the first level that once served as retail space.
Once the sash are removed from the window openings, the workers assess the condition of the various parts of the opening. Those with nerves of steel work from a window jack (see image at right) that is securely attached on the outside of the window opening. Wearing a safety harness and standing on this platform high above the street, they scrape built-up layers of paint, repair deteriorated sills, and provide the final coat of paint.
On the interior, workers scrape, sand, and re-string sash weights. The men and women who work with OHS are cross-trained so that they can address various aspects of preparing a window opening, repairing the sash, and putting it all back together again. Working in pairs enable the more experienced craftsmen to train and mentor the less experienced.
Meanwhile, in the workshop (see image below), an assembly line of sorts takes the sash from the upper floors and moves them through a multi-step restoration process. Workers remove the hardware and soak it in a solution to remove the paint. They cycle each sash, two-at-a-time, through a custom steam box where layers of paint and hardened glazing putty softens. They carefully remove the large panes of glass and store it for reinstallation. The hard-working crew scrapes paint using one or more heat-based paint-stripping methods. Then they assess and repair deteriorated parts of the sash by using an epoxy wood filler in cracks, by splicing new wood into an existing member, or by replicating the part in a durable wood.
OHS is finding that wood on the south and west elevations of the Bell Building is in worse condition due to exposure to the sun. Therefore, those sash have parts that typically require more attention and sometimes new milled members. Sometimes an entirely new sash is milled to match the historic profile and dimension. The approach of retaining as much historic material as possible is their goal because this project has applied for historic preservation tax incentives and work must follow the Standards for Rehabilitation. But for OHS, this approach is natural since they are working with quality materials and superior craftsmanship and joinery.
Once the restored sash are reassembled, the workers sand and coat them with linseed oil, set the glass and apply glazing putty, and prime and paint the restored sash. The numbered sash take another trip on the construction lift to their floor and are reinstalled in their window opening. The restored window is a beautiful sight that makes you smile. As does the experience of effortlessly lifting the restored sash and feeling the breeze rush in - it's how it was meant to be. The feeling must be ten-fold for the craftspeople who made these windows new again.
The AHC will continue to advocate for historic window repair and hope others gain an appreciation of these useful architectural features. Judging by the team at the Bell Building, the numbers of craftspeople who do this work are expanding, and this is good news to the AHC and everyone who cares about being responsible stewards of our historic buildings.

In 1867, nine former slaves aided by the American Missionary Association (AMA) founded
the Lincoln Normal School, a college in Marion for African-Americans. In 1887, the college was moved to Montgomery later becoming what is now Alabama State University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Lincoln continued to operate as a secondary school until it was closed due to integration in the late 1960s.
A group of Lincoln School alumni formed the Lincolnite Club, Inc. to operate the current campus as a community center and preserve the historic buildings remaining on the campus. Buildings remaining include a historic 1930s auditorium listed in the National Register of Historic Places along with a classroom building and gymnasium which were constructed during the late 1960s within Alabama's Equalization School building period. Both the classroom building and the gymnasium are listed in the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage.
BHC members have provided technical assistance to the Lincolnite Club for more than a decade and in 2013, held its Annual Community Preservation Forum on the campus. In mid-2018, the Lincolnite Club requested BHC participation in their Heritage Preservation Symposium. The event was held as a part of its 22nd Biennial Reunion highlighting the 151st Anniversary of the founding of the Lincoln School. Elvin Lang, who represented the BHC during the event, was asked to present on the topic "African-American's Unique Preservation Challenges." Other Symposium topics included Folk Art as a Preservation Tool, the significance of the Lincoln School Campus as a Historic District, and the Lincoln Memorial Museum Partnership with the National Park Service.

Where in the State are AHC Staff?
|
Through the Certified Local Government Program, Alabama sent eight representatives from five communities to the
National Alliance of Preservation Commisisons (NAPC) 2018 Forum held in Des Moines, Iowa, on July 18-22. Participants learned about new technology in preservation such as the survey collector app to digitally record local historic properties. Many sessions included case studies which highlighted other communities across the country for protecting historic districts, collaborating with partners and using creative financing approaches to save community landmarks. Each hour and a half session was packed with information provided by amazing speakers.
The AHC's
Alabama Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program Coordinator, Taylor Stewart, participated in a rousing session on updating old National Register district nominations to include a complete representation of historic events and associations of resources in the districts. AHC's Lee Anne Wofford, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer, and Mary Shell, Preservation Planner, also attended the Forum.
The venues for the receptions were impressive and included the 1927 Scottish Rite Consistory; a mid-century modernist masterpiece, The American Enterprise Building; and the former public library built in 1903 now housing the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates paying tribute to Iowa's agricultural and humanitarian pioneers who contributed to the global fight against hunger.
Be sure to plan to join NAPC at their 2020 Forum in Tacoma, Washington!

Gaineswood, located in Demopolis, Alabama, had the
privilege
to host the team from The Classical Institute of the South (CIS) at The Historic New Orleans Collection, which is dedicated to gathering and sharing information about the history of the Gulf South's rich material culture. CIS field survey work catalogs historic objects with provenance in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama dating from the eighteenth century to 1865. These objects shed light on daily life in the past as well as the region's enormous economic expansion in the early nineteenth century. Gulf South residents were far from isolated, using the Mississippi River to trade with northern cities and even Europe.
Led by coordinator Sarah Duggan, the team worked tirelessly to catalogue the original furnishings in the mansion. Knowledgeable and efficient, the ladies enlightened the Gaineswood staff on certain items, giving them more information to add to the guided tour.
Above image: Allison Robinson focuses on capturing a Gaineswood chair in just the right light.
Findings are made available to the public in the Gulf South Decorative and Fine Arts Database, which is part of the Louisiana Digital Library consortium. To date, over 1200 object records are available online, with several hundred more being prepared for upload. You can view the database online here.
