Middlebury Town Theater Project
by Paul Wyncoop
The Middlebury Town Hall Theatre Renovations
are underway! The 1883 Queen Anne Building, originally designed
by Clinton Smith as the Middlebury Town Hall, is being restored
to its former glory after years of service as a movie theatre,
furniture store and, most recently, as the Knights of Columbus
meeting hall. In 2000 the Knights sold the building to
Town Hall Theatre, Inc. Doug Anderson, the Executive Director,
and Town Hall Theatre Inc., have raised approximately $400,000
for the current phase of work, which will include a new slate
roof, decorative roof cresting and weathervane, the structural
shoring of all timber frame roofing members and the restoration
of the bell tower. Exterior work will include the replacement
and repair of exterior trim, and rebuilding of decorative
Victorian gable end trim. Interior work will involve selective
demolition, extensive cleaning to remove bat guano and the
installation of a lighting grid.
This phase, which began in May with interior
structural shoring, is scheduled to be completed on October 6.
The Project Architect is Steve Schenker of Bread Loaf
Corporation which is running the multiphase Design/Build
project. The team includes historic preservation consultant Tom
Keefe of Keefe and Wesner, who authored a 1998 historic
conditions assessment and Judy Ehrlich from the Vermont Division
for Historic Preservation. The structural solutions were
engineered by Engineering Ventures, and the difficult task of
the structural sandwiching of the roof truss members with steel
beams was taken on by Harvest Construction. The new slate roof
and roof repairs are being done by Middlebury Slate. The
new weathervane, built and installed by Vulcan Supply, is a
re-creation of the original, designed from historic photos. It
can now be seen from the village green and along Route 7. The
trim renovations, epoxy rebuilding of certain structural and
decorative details and construction management are being done by
Bread Loaf.
The next phase of work is pending further
fundraising and will most likely include interior renovations,
masonry work (including the rebuilding of the original chimneys)
and window repair and replacement. There will be an open house
reception on Saturday October 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to
celebrate the completion of this phase and continue the
fundraising for future phases.
Route 7 Study with UVM Graduate Students
in Historic Preservation
During the spring of 2003, students in Robert McCullough's Contemporary
Policy and Planning class from UVM's Historic
Preservation Graduate Program teamed up with Field Services
Representatives from the Preservation Trust of Vermont and
National Trust for Historic Preservation to study historic
preservation tools used by communities along the Route 7
corridor. In return for this experience, UVM students will help
the Preservation Trust to develop a historic
preservation/village revitalization plan for the village of West
Berkshire.
Ann Cousins and Doug Porter of the
Preservation Trust led the class down the Champlain Valley
through several historic communities. The participants
visited Park Place in Burlington, the Ferrisburgh Town
Hall/Grange, the Basin Block and Opera House of Vergennes, the
old Brandon Town Hall, a Public Library and Post Office in
Pittsford, and the Pittsford Ironworks.
Topics of discussion included affordable
housing, cooperative community planning, private investment,
building codes, project phasing, planning advocacy, and heritage
tourism.
Based on the tools explored in the Route 7
trip, students in this fall¹s Community Preservation Projects
class will work with the Preservation Trust and local residents
to create a map for the future development of West Berkshire
village. The project will take into consideration historic
and natural resources, community profile, and economic
opportunities. Students will investigate funding options,
possible example preservation projects to generate community
interest, and agency partnerships. While developing the
plan, the students will grapple with the challenges of
maintaining the character of the village, and creating a
long-term vision that expresses the needs of the community as a
whole.
Special thanks to George and Maxi Ewins of
West Berkshire; Brian Pine of the City of Burlington; Nadia
Smith of Ferrisburgh; Mike Richardson; Tom Keefe; Kellie Patten
of Brandon; and Baird Morgan, Peggy Armitage, and Alan Hitchcock
of Pittsford for sharing their buildings, wisdom, and insight
with the class. Several of the aforementioned communities
and projects have benefitted from grants and technical
assistance from the Preservation Trust of Vermont.
New! Special Places in Vermont
Publication
With your help, the Preservation Trust of Vermont is going to
build a collection of Special Places in Vermont. Our
goal is to publish a series of short paragraphs written by
residents describing the off-beat, the undiscovered, and the
historic spots that help to make Vermont a special part of our
world.
Initially we will publish the collection on
our website, and may in the future publish a book.
Contributions can be varied -- from a walk through a village
district or former marble quarry, to a meal at a restored hotel
or breakfast at an historic diner, to the experience of a
service in an 1850 church, or a swim in a pond above an historic
crib dam. The possibilities are endless, and the more we all
enjoy and appreciate these special places, the more we will all
work to maintain them.
We welcome contributions of all kinds.
If you have some place you'd like to share, please email meg@ptvermont.org.
Please describe the site and tell us why it's important to
you. Keep in mind that we would like to include your name
and the town where you live in the future publications.
Thanks for being a part of our project!
Emily Wadhams Retires from the State
Historic Preservation Office
Emily Wadhams of Burlington has resigned from her position
as State Historic Preservation Officer effective September 12,
2003. Ms. Wadhams was appointed to the position by
Governor Howard Dean in 1998 and was reappointed by Governor Jim
Douglas in January.
“Emily’s leadership in strengthening
Vermont’s downtowns and village centers was instrumental in
making Vermont a model for the nation,” said Governor
Douglas. “I want to personally thank her for her
dedication and hard work serving our state.”
The position directs the Vermont Division for
Historic Preservation in the Agency of Commerce and Community
Development and is responsible for managing the state-owned
historic sites, the Vermont Downtown and Village Center
Programs, the National Register Program, and several grant
programs and tax credit projects. It also plays a
regulatory role in Act 250 and state and federally funded
projects.
“It has been a privilege to serve the
State of Vermont," says Ms. Wadhams. "My focus
has been on strengthening Vermont’s downtowns and village
centers and on bringing clarity and accountability to the
regulatory review process. Because we’re a small state,
we have been able to develop collaborative relationships with
other state agencies and have created alliances that serve as a
model for other states. We have made great progress in
addressing building code issues for historic buildings with the
Department of Labor and Industry, for example, and have
developed a nationally recognized agreement with our Agency of
Transportation for streamlining environmental review projects.”
Ms. Wadhams has a Masters degree from the
University of Vermont in Historic Preservation and has served on
the Board of Directors of the National Conference of State
Historic Preservation Officers. She is a Vermont Advisor
to the National Trust for Historic Preservation and is a member
of the Preservation Trust of Vermont Board of Trustees.
Prior to her tenure as State Historic
Preservation Officer she was a consultant to non-profit and
for-profit affordable housing developers rehabilitating historic
buildings. She plans to continue to work in Vermont as a
consultant. Jane Lendway has been appointed Acting State
Historic Preservation Officer while a search for Ms. Wadhams
replacement is conducted.
Precision Window Project at Precision
Museum
Sarah Vukovich and Rebecca Williams, both University of Vermont
graduate students in historic preservation, recently embarked
upon a daunting task in Windsor -- the completion of a detailed
survey of American Precision Museum's 160 windows.
The survey is an essential planning tool to
enable the Museum to restore the 1846 National Historic Landmark
building. The students are working under the guidance of
Associate Professor Tom Visser, Interim Director of the UVM
Graduate Program in Historic Preservation, and Doug Porter,
Field Service representative with the Preservation Trust of
Vermont.
"We're thrilled to have Sarah and
Rebecca's help, and the collaboration of University of
Vermont." says Ann Lawless, the Museum's Executive
Director. "The information they are gathering and compiling
will help the Museum get the windows restoration started."
The students will take digital photos and
complete a detailed written survey form for each window. In
addition to National Landmark caliber documentation, lists and
graphical information will be created to provide an organized
and concise summary of recommended repairs and repair materials.
At nearly 160 years old, the building has housed weapons and
tool manufacturing, a cotton mill, and electricity generating
enterprises. The Museum was created in the building 1966.

Statewide Forums to Focus on Vermont’s
Creative Economy
The Vermont Council on Culture and Innovation (VCCI) will be
holding public forums around the state as it looks at the
relationship between Vermont’s community development, cultural
life, and economic activity. Anyone with an interest in
job growth, cultural life, tourism, downtown revitalization,
strengthening communities, or public policy is encouraged to
attend.
Vermont’s heritage, arts, and culture have
long been cornerstones of our state economy and foundations for
the “Vermont brand” that is so essential to the state’s
tourism, manufacturing, and agricultural sectors. Public
comments at these meetings will help VCCI analyze how new
partnerships between federal and state agencies, private
business, and Vermont’s cultural organizations can stimulate
economic activity, strengthen our community identity, and
encourage innovation.
The forums will help shape the final
recommendations VCCI presents to the Governor, Vermont’s
Legislature, and our Congressional delegation regarding ways to
advance Vermont’s creative economy.
The forums, produced by the Vermont Council on
Rural Development in cooperation with and the offices of
Senators Jeffords and Leahy, take place:

of place' and community that is so essential to who we are as
Vermonters--and to attracting creative entrepreneurs and
business developers to our state.
RAMP Receives $8,000 Local Partnership

National Register News
The National Park Service has recently listed the following
Vermont properties on the National Register of Historic Places:
Multiple Property Documentation Form
"Organized Summer Camping in Vermont", Associated
Historic Context "Children's Summer Camps in Vermont,
1892-1953"
Children's summer camps have played a significant role in
outdoor education and recreation since the first camps were
established on Lake Champlain in the 1890s. Physical
characteristics reflect the influence of military architecture
and the building styles of the eras in which the camps were
founded. Bungalow and Adirondack Rustic styles are
frequently found and the camps often incorporate earlier 19th
century farm buildings and lands located on the camp property.
A number of subtypes of buildings have been identified and
many are commonly found at camps such as a main building,
assembly hall, infirmary, washhouse, boathouse, sleeping
quarters, nature building,
Four private Children's Camps owned by the
Aloha Foundation, Inc. were nominated under this MPDF. The
nomination summaries follow.
Aloha Camp, Fairlee
Founded in 1905 by Edward and Harriet Farnswork Gulick,
pioneers in American camping, this camp for girls ages seven
to twelve is located on the shores of Lake Morey and is
believed to be the oldest operating camp for girls in
Vermont. It reflects the patterns of thought and culture
in Vermont and the nation for nearly 100 years regarding the
changing view of nature and the role of young women as future
leaders. The camp contains 25 contributing structures and 10
noncontributing, and includes 19th century Queen Anne farm
buildings as well as camp buildings reflecting the Adirondack
Rustic style with influences of Hawaiian style cottages and
World War I military barracks. The Hawaiian influence
was brought by Edward Gulick, who was born in Hawaii where
members of his family were missionaries.
Aloha Hive Camp, West Fairlee
Founded in 1915 by Edward and Harriet Farnswork Gulick,
pioneers in American camping, this camp for girls ages seven
to twelve is located on the shores of Lake Fairlee and was
opened to accommodate an overflow from Aloha, the first camp
they opened. The camp is a cohesive collection of
buildings, most of which were constructed in a twenty-five
year period from 1915-1940 and represent the period when the
children's camping movement in Vermont was at its peak in
development. The camp contains 22 contributing
structures and 15 noncontributing ones. It was built
specifically as a camp and has no former farm buildings on the
property. The buildings reflect architectural
styles that were popular during the early decades of the 20th
century for children's summer camps and private cottages-the
Bungalow and Adirondack Rustic styles. The buildings also
exhibit the influence of Hawaiian cottage architecture and
World War I military barracks.
Lanakila Camp, Fairlee
Founded in 1922 by Edward and Harriet Farnswork Gulick,
pioneers in American camping, this camp for boys is located on
the shores of Lake Morey and was the third camp the Gulicks
opened. The property functioned as a farm from 1850-1917
when it was sold and converted to a children's camp by Ernest
and Lulu Page from Fitchburg, MA. They operated the
property as a girls' camp until 1921 when the Gulicks bought
it and reopened it as a boys' camp. Typical of boys'
camps at the time, it was based in a military tradition and
focused on outdoor recreation as a means of education.
The camp reflects the period (1920s) in New England when the
largest number of children's summer camps were launched. In
addition to the existing farm buildings, in the 1920s and 30s
a number of Adirondack Rustic and Bungalow style camp
buildings were constructed at Lanakila. Many of these
buildings exhibit elements typical of World War I military
barracks. There are 35 contributing structures in
the camp and 23 noncontributing.
Camp Wyoda, West Fairlee
Founded in 1916 by Harvey and Margaret Newcomer, this camp for
girls is located on the shores of Lake Fairlee. The camp
opened at a different location on the Lake and, having
outgrown the site, in 1922 moved to its current spot occupying
a former farmstead. Soon thereafter a highly intact
complex of Adirondack Rustic style buildings was constructed
to help accommodate the camp activities. The camp contains 34
contributing structures and 6 noncontributing ones which
reflect the variety of building types characteristic of
children's camps in Vermont. Typical of many camps, the
mission was to provide education through outdoor recreation,
using nature for inspiration. Girls were encouraged to be
independent thinkers who would become future leaders
contributing to the well being of the world. Camp structures
and activities over the years reflect this.

GRANTS &
FUNDING
Historic Preservation and Barn Grants
This year the legislature appropriated $150,000 each for the
Division's matching grant programs for the restoration of
buildings owned by municipalities and non-profit organizations
and barns (agricultural buildings). Applications will be
available in October. To get an application or discuss
your project call Eric Gilbertson at 828-3043 or emailing eric.gilbertson@state.vt.us.
The grant program for municipalities and
non-profits has been in place since 1987 and has funded projects
on many town halls, historical society buildings, churches,
libraries as well as other buildings. Projects must be for
restoration, have a strong public benefit component, and are
usually for serious problems that are likely to cause further
deterioration.
Applications are due on December 8, 2003.
The grants for agricultural buildings (barns)
can be on privately owned buildings. The purpose of the
program is to preserve the buildings that help make up Vermont's
working landscape. Small agricultural buildings such as corn
cribs and milkhouses are also eligible. Projects must be
for restoration, have a strong public benefit component, and are
usually for serious problems that are likely to cause further
deterioration. Applications are due on January 5, 2004.
Applications for both programs need to have a
good cost estimate for the proposed work and photographs showing
the building in its setting and illustrating the problems which
need work.
