If it’s October, it must be Tour of Homes time! Summerville’s twenty-first Tour brings togetherhundreds of folks who combine efforts to showcase all of our area’s best aspects. The proceeds from ourNeighborhood Association’s major fund-raiser help to preserve and improve Summerville, which hasbeen listed since 1980 on the National Register of Historic Places.

This year’s Tour features seven beautiful homes, two outstanding gardens, and our illustrious firestation. The homes represent the well-known variety of styles, ages, sizes, and decors that identify ourneighborhood. The gardens provide lush oases from the hustle and bustle of city living. Our firefightersat Engine Company Number 7 look forward to meeting families in a relaxed, rather than emergency,situation. They will “show and tell” about a firefighter’s job and no ticket will be required to enjoy the firestation tour. Bring all the kids.

Tour weekend kicks off with the annual parade at 10 a.m. Saturday from Trinity-on-the-Hill toHickman Park. Kids, don your Halloween costumes and adults, dress up in vintage clothing rummagedfrom Granny’s attic. Vote for King and Queen candidates who will be honored during the parade. Then,set off from headquarters at Augusta State to visit Tour sites from noon until 6 p.m. Saturday and 1 until6 p.m. Sunday. Buses and trolleys will provide convenient transportation. Take in Appleby Library’sbook sale on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Enjoy lunch Saturday at The Partridge Inn and Sundayat the Augusta Woman’s Club. Complete the delightful weekend with the Evensong service at the Churchof the Good Shepherd at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Thank you to our homeowners, Tour committee members, Board, and our other wonderfulvolunteers. The generosity of so many people exemplifies the Summerville Neighborhood spirit!

Learn about the Historic District Design Guidelinesand preview our fabulous Tour of Homes.

1997 has been a busy year for the SummervilleNeighborhood Association and its Board of Directors.During this year, the Association has continued itssupport of the community through the funding of ascholarship at Augusta State University and has alsoreached out to its neighbors, especially the Sand HillsNeighborhood Association. A tangible sign of thateffort will be the Christmas tree lighting at AugustaState University. This year, the tree lighting will besponsored not only by ASU and SNA, but also by SandHills, which was officially listed on the National Registerof Historic Places this past July. Our membershipnumbers are up, and we are looking forward to asuccessful 1998.

The most important work of the Association thisyear has been in the area of land use planning andhistoric preservation. Although we try hard to avoidcontention and to reach compromise, the Associationhas taken a stand in several controversial zoning andhistoric preservation disputes. In each instance, theAssociation has sought the input of the neighbors mostdirectly involved and, thereby, has sought to representthe will of the membership. I am pleased to report that,in each of these cases, the Association was successfulin its efforts.

I am particularly pleased to report that our mostnoteworthy achievement in this area has been thepublication of the Historic Preservation Guidelines.These guidelines have been developed and printed atconsiderable expense to the Association to aid theresidents of Summerville in connection with exteriorchanges to their homes. We believe these guidelineswill help ensure that our neighborhood maintains theunique character that is so important to all of us.Copies of the guidelines will be available in arealibraries and can be purchased at various retail outletsin the Summerville area. (Good Shepherd Bookstoreand Hill Drug have agreed to act as sales outlets for theguidelines as of the printing of this edition of the Post;other retail outlets should be available soon.) Thepublication of these guidelines, in connection with thehistoric ordinance that was passed several years ago,will help maintain the integrity of our neighborhood formany years to come.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I hope you willattend the 1997 Tour of Homes and that you willcontinue your support of the Summerville Neighbor-hood Association.

Summerville HistoricDistrict Design

Guidelines ManualThe Summerville Neighborhood Association

(SNA) was started over 20 years ago. Zoning, landuse, and historic preservation were important issuesthen and they continue to be important issues now.Summerville is a unique neighborhood – it has avariety of lot and home sizes, diverse architecture,and wonderful, large trees that add to a lovelystreetscape. We still have a need to protect and pre-serve the character of the neighborhood.

The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) ofthe City of Augusta must approve any designchanges made to the exterior of a property (includ-ing any new construction, fences, driveways, etc.).The HPC uses the newly printed SummervilleHistoric District Design Guidelines manual (pre-pared by a historic preservation firm specifically forSummerville) to determine whether the design isappropriate. A lot of time, money, and energy wentinto preparing and printing this manual and wehope that it will be fully utilized by property owners,builders, architects, real estate agents, and the HPC.

Your help is needed to inform new neighborsand those who may not be aware of the designguidelines that pre-approval by the HPC is re-quired before any design change is made.

The choirwill sing a festive service of Evensong as a close tothe 1997 Summerville Tour of Homes on Sunday,October 19, at 6:00 pm. This historic service hasbeen an integral part of the worship in theEpiscopal Church since the beginnings of Angli-canism in the 16th century, and since 1869 inSummerville, inspiring countless worshippers,singers, composers, and preachers for over fourcenturies.

As would have been the case in the early daysof Summerville, the service will be taken from the1662 Book of Common Prayer. The choir, underthe direction of James Nord, Organist/Choir-master, will sing music from the 17th, 18th and19th centuries.

2233 McDowell Street The Clarke FamilyIn 1951, Gordon and Mary Kelly built this lovely neo-colonial home in which to raise their growing family; the

Clarkes are just the third owners. They have settled in quickly and have made this home their own. Sparklingprimary colors abound, continuing to make it a child-oriented residence. The cheerful chatter you hear as youenter the family room (converted from a sun porch) comes from cockatiels Baci, Bella, and Mikki. Their feathershappen to blend beautifully with the paintings and hand-painted tile tables created by artist Anne Barton, Mrs.Clarke’s mother. The steamer trunk from France belonged to “Camp” Gordon’s Commander for whom BartonField is named; he was Mrs. Clarke’s grandfather. Walk through the sunny kitchen which overlooks the play areaoutside, and be sure to stop in the downstairs bedrooms. The ornate desk in one belonged to great-grandparentsand traveled across the U.S. by covered wagon. Upstairs is a haven for youngsters, including a paneled bedroomwith many nooks and crannies, a secret clubhouse, and an undersea bathroom.

1440 Highland Avenue Mr. and Mrs. James BrooksSummerville residents sighed collectively when James and Deann Brooks rescued this early 1900’s cottage

from demolition. They purchased both lots along Central Avenue, picked up the dilapidated building, moved itback and away from the corner, and built a solid foundation. James has been on the front lines throughout thisgargantuan restoration effort, overseeing all work and doing much of it himself. Rotten exterior wood that couldnot be salvaged was removed and replaced, but interior wainscoting, trim, and ceilings were saved. The newpolished oak floors, bright functional kitchen, and second story porch are in keeping with the age and style of theoriginal home. Our entire neighborhood is grateful for the Brooks’ willingness to preserve this charming cottage.

1211 Milledge Road Ms. Anne BartonAs soon as you pass through the shaded front garden,

you will find yourself ensconced in a lush, peaceful space,far-removed (in atmosphere) from busy Milledge Road.The garden began with the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. JamesMason, who faced an arid desert of bare dirt and rocks.The Masons lovingly planted and nurtured every tree andmany of the shrubs on the property today. They installedthe soothing water garden which is now home to glisten-ing koi goldfish. Ms. Barton has continued the Masons’hard work and her striking sculptures stand as sentinelsamong the flowers and greenery.

Engine Company Number 7 Central Avenue at Troup StreetThis Spanish-style building is the oldest, continuously operating firehouse in Augusta. It was built in 1913,

during the term of Mayor Linwood C. Hayne and was the first local fire company to replace horse-drawn fireengines with automotive equipment. The fire department has applied for community block grant funds to assistwith a complete restoration. Peruse the old photos and other memorabilia that are on display. Bring your entirefamily to meet the firefighters and learn about their essential profession. You do not need a Tour ticket to enjoythis historic site.

920 Milledge Road Dr. and Mrs. Francis TedescoThe second featured garden is secluded behind the imposing Dutch Colonial home of MCG’s President.

Construction of the home and gardens began in 1911 with the hauling in of rich soil from Phinizy Swamp tosupplement the porous sand there naturally. H.T.E. Wendell designed the home and landscape architects Herbert,Fran, and White of Boston planned the gardens. An intricate gravity-fed drainage system was installed throughoutthe 3.2 acres of land. The Tedescos and groundskeeper Virgil Cook continue to work toward the goal of restoringthe gardens to their former glory. Information sources include original glass slides, photos from the 1924publication Augusta, Georgia, Garden City of the South, and old postcards. Two pergolas, twin tea houses, agazebo, an arch, a greenhouse, and a lily pool have been restored or replicated among the extensive plantings ofazaleas, roses, camellias, and boxwoods.

2417 Walton Way Mr. and Mrs. Frank WilliamsUntil you visit the Williams’ home, you might think the term comfortable elegance is an oxymoron – two

contradictory ideas. Bit and Julie prove that these concepts can exist together. They purchased this 1918 classicalrevival Willis Irvin home in 1988 and furnished it with exquisite antiques from both sides of their families. There isa fascinating history to each piece of furniture and most of the decorative objects. An upstairs suite, complete withJulie’s childhood dolls and furniture, is reserved for visits of their ten grandchildren. Even though the area on thesecond floor is the grandchildren’s domain, they are welcome to roam everywhere. Guests, too, feel just ascomfortable among the superb treasures here.

2631 Walton Way Mr. and Mrs. Roy BryantCurrently the residence of Roy and Mary Bryant, this stunning Georgian Revival home has graced Walton Way

since 1891. It was built for William Henry Fleming and his wife, Marie Celeste Ayer, by a Mr. Downing ofAtlanta/Chattanooga. Mr. Fleming was elected in 1896 to serve as a Congressman from the 10th District ofGeorgia. Splendid Victorian antiques furnish the home and provide the ambiance of a century ago. Be sure tonote the miniature fainting couch, the crystal lusters in the parlor, and the magnificent dining room suite. Asurprise awaits in the African room downstairs. Mementos of the Bryants’ month-long safari to Africa aredramatically exhibited there.

2521 Walton Way Mr. and Mrs. Allen SlavensThis attractive English cottage-style home sits back from Walton Way behind two huge, stately oak trees on a

deep lot. It was constructed in 1939 by the well-known builder, J. C. Stockton, and has notable carpenter detailsincluding the heavy front brackets. Inside, soft colors and furniture and accessories chosen for just the right placescreate a cozy family haven. The dining room’s multihued, flowered wallpaper showcases Candace’s extensivecollection of red and white Staffordshire china. As you move upstairs to see the picture-perfect bedrooms, be sureto investigate the delightful porch off the master bedroom. It provides a restful retreat at the end of hectic days.

26311⁄2Walton Way Ms. Katherine KingThis honeymoon cottage, called “New Haven”, was built in 1929 for William Cornelius Fleming and Sarah

Virginia Sibley. This hidden treasure was the couple’s home for twenty years, during which time they reared theirchildren. Their daughter, Florence Fleming Corley, wrote The Confederate City about Augusta. Judge Flemingraised hunting dogs and enjoyed acquiring newly-invented machines, such as a washing machine, dial telephone,and air conditioning. Mrs. Fleming was a world traveler who loved to dress and entertain in grand style.

There are many special details constructed into this home. Keep your eyes open for the beautifully carvedliving room mantel, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, built-in china cabinets, and cedar-lined window seats. Ms. King,with her artist’s eye, has arranged her many and varied collections as still life designs. Enjoy the ship and discoverycollection in the living room, the tooled leather bags in the sunroom, and the perfume bottles and compactsupstairs.

2622 Henry Street Mr. and Mrs. Mark OsteenThe Osteens’ home (c1909) and its next door neighbor were built by the Felder sisters, Mary “Mamie” Felder

Martin (Mrs. Sam) and Annie Felder Robertson (Mrs. J. Miller). They were the daughters of Jacob Felder ofMidway Plantation in Orangeburg, SC. Lumber for both Georgian Revival homes came from the plantation. TheOsteens’ home was divided into five apartments for World War II troops by Mrs. Seymour Sylvester. Mr. and Mrs.Ralph Bennitt purchased it in 1955 and meticulously restored it to a single-family home.

Mark and Sherri have been working diligently for seven years to bring the Victorian era to life. Antiquefurnishings and ornaments, and replicated window treatments accurately reflect that period. For example, themagnificent dark green living room window treatments were copied from those hanging in the Gallier House inNew Orleans. The new lace panels are antique designs, woven on antique looms. The massive rosewood bed inthe master bedroom was found in a barn in Kentucky and refurbished. Other antiques have been inherited andcollected over time. Sherri’s mother has created gorgeous stained and leaded glass pieces for the home.
