The Historic Wilmington Foundationrecently acquired the easement donationfor the old Masonic Building which sitsat 125-127 Market Street. This buildingwas mostly recently home to the popular Rhino Club. Executive DirectorGeorge Edwards was effusive in his statement of appreciation for the dona-tion. “We have been in discussion withowner Jim McFarland for more than ayear about this building, and we weredelighted when we were informed in lateSeptember that the donation was beingmade. This is the first major downtown commercial building easement donationHistoric Wilmington has received, and wehope it will serve as an example to otherproperty owners. Jim values the history and architecture of his hometown, and appreciates that a preservation easementdonation is a significant way to protect and preserve our architectural legacy.”

In addition to the Masonic Building, theHistoric Wilmington Foundation holds anadditional seventy easements on properties

ranging from businesses and residences to achurch. One of the other notable easementsis that of the historic deRosset House at 23South Second Street, currently The CityClub. Our highest concentration of easements is on South Second Street and atpresent there are a total of fourteen. HistoricWilmington’s interest aids in protecting these historically and architecturally significantbuildings and properties in perpetuity.

Local attorney and Board memberMichael Murchison recently stated that, “A preservation easement or covenant is a powerful preservation tool which protects

historic resources in ways that state law andlocal zoning ordinances cannot. For example,even within the local historic district, a historic home or structure can be demolishedafter a one year waiting period, unless it is designated as having statewide historic significance. Preservation easements can prevent such demolition in perpetuity.Preservation easements also allow HistoricWilmington to prevent future inappropriatechanges to the exterior of the historic struc-ture. The owner of a historic property whogives a preservation easement or covenantmay be eligible for favorable tax benefits.”

TORIC WILMINGTO

N

WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA’S PREMIER, PICTURESQUE RURAL CEMETERYBy Janet K. Seapker, President Friends of Oakdale Cemetery

The romantic or rustic movement was a rebellion, a pendulum swing away from the rational,

highly orderly, straight-laced, classically derived Federal and Greek Revival styles popular from

1810 through 1840. The “back to nature” effort flourished in the mid-nineteenth century. It

was translated from England, and popularized in America by an architect and landscape

architect, Andrew Jackson Downing. In architecture, the trend advocated rustic cottages; in

landscape architecture, a movement to establish suburban parks was initiated. The cemetery of

the mid-nineteenth century was an extension, sometimes, the precursor of the suburban park.

MISSION STATEMENTThe mission of the Historic Wilmington

Foundation is to protect and preserve the irreplaceable historic resources of

Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear Region.

The opinions expressed in The News

Foundation and Board of Trustees

ShrimparooHistoric Wilmington Foundation

welcomed more than 20 new

people into the ranks at the

annual fall membership party

at Elijah’s on the river.

The Shrimparoo has become

a wonderful fall event for

preservationists of all ages.

Fall 2006 -The News 3

This fall we offered our first of what I hope will be a

series of workshops entitled Preservation For Profit. A new

committee at Historic Wilmington, Buildings Worth Saving,

worked for a year to assemble an informative and thoughtful

workshop on saving and redeveloping historic buildings

with the tax credits and incentives. The initiative was

supported by significant gifts from Cooperative Bank, Sparks

Engineering PLLC, and RSM McGladrey, as well as major

in-kind support from the City of Wilmington-Development

Services and Historic Preservation Commission. These gifts

gave us the confidence to plan an extensive and bold

workshop. We addressed a wide ranging series of topics from

the National Register, to the economics of development, to

the new rehab code, and almost everything in between.

There was a case study of the recent Roudabush rehabilitation,

and a wonderful panel of home owners talking about their

experiences using the North Carolina tax credit for

non-income producing properties.

The workshop drew almost 60 participants and every-

one went away armed with helpful information and a

comprehensive packet of handouts. We drew registrants

from throughout the region, and in fact across the state.

We had an array of expert presenters from Wilmington, as

well as the expertise of the staff from the State Historic

Preservation Office and the Self Help Ventures Fund. The

workshop ran from 8:30am to 4:15pm, and there was a

special homeowner track offered within the workshop from

2-4:15pm that had a separate registration. We received

tremendous evaluations and a definite request to do it

again. We will, and I think we can improve on it, as well as

add some new twists for next year. Helping homeowners and

developers of commercial buildings understand how to save

and rehabilitate an old building is our mission. Educating

architects and realtors about historic preservation is exactly

how we will protect and preserve our architectural heritage.

Preservation For Profit is one more excellent tool Historic

Wilmington is employing to preserve our heritage. Thanks to

the hard work of our committee, the support of our

partners, and assistance of great volunteers we got this

workshop off to a wonderful and successful start. Watch

for announcements next year about the second workshop

and make plans to join us.

As an added benefit to the process, we created a

Preservation For Profit brochure that highlights the available

tax credits and incentives for historic rehabilitations, and

where to go to learn more. The brochure is available at

the Historic Wilmington offices or on-line at

www.historicwilmington.org.

Director’s ViewThe

P R E S E R V I N G F O R A P R O F I T

Initiated in the North, the rural cemetery was located on theoutskirts of the city, within a reasonable carriage ride or strollfrom the city. It had picturesque landscapes, winding roads andfootpaths and became a popular spot for outings. It alsoreceived a new name—cemetery—meaning sleeping chamber.Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge (near Boston)Massachusetts founded in 1831 was the first rural cemetery. Untilthis time, burials had taken place in town or church graveyardsor on rural plantations and farms.

Mount Auburn began a rage to establish rural cemeteries inthe US: Philadelphia, Laurel Hill, 1836; Brooklyn, Green-Wood,1838; Cincinnati, Spring Grove, 1844; Pittsburgh, Allegheny,1845; Richmond, Hollywood, 1847; Atlanta, Oakland, 1850;Calvary and Rosehill, Chicago, 1859.

OAKDALE CEMETERYWilmington in the mid-nineteenth century was the most

populous, most sophisticated and most urban city in NorthCarolina. Burial space in the inner-city cemeteries was exceedinglylimited and concern over community health brought about amovement to establish a rural cemetery. In 1852, following thenational trend, the socially prominent, civic and business moversand shakers, organized as “The Proprietors of the WilmingtonCemetery.” Armand J. DeRosset, Jr., Edward Kidder, John A.Taylor, William A. Wright, Oscar G. Parsley, John L. Meares, andJohn McRae, obtained a charter from the state and acquired a65-acre tract on the east side of Burnt Mill Creek, northeast ofthe town limits for $1100. (The town only went to Eighth Streetthen.) The property became known as Oakdale by 1855, when anewspaper, reported the dedication of Hebrew Cemetery, a special section of Oakdale. Oakdale was the first rural cemeteryin the state.

Oakdale is designed in the picturesque Victorian mode mirroring northern rural cemeteries. Louis Turner surveyed theland, laying out sections A through H in a maze of curvilinear

avenues windingthrough the hillytopography with thedrives depressed andthe plots raisedbehind masonry walls.The site has much theappearance of a formal garden withthe combination ofnative and landscape

vegetation.The first interment,

February 5, 1855, was six year old Annie DeRosset. Ironically, shewas the daughter of physician Armand John DeRosset, the firstpresident of the cemetery corporation.

The beauty and prestige of Oakdale led to a large scaleremoval of bodies from other burial grounds, most occurringbetween 1856 and 1859, but some were as late as 1923.Reinterments are responsible for many of the markers createdbefore Oakdale was established.

Residents used mid-nineteenth rural cemeteries as parks,places to stroll, enjoy nature and the company of friends. Such acustom goes back to ancient Egypt, where in Alexandria, tombswere a place where families gathered, picnicked, and socialized,in a way, keeping alive the shared memories of friends and

family. In his Recollections, Rufus Bunnell, a Connecticut architectural draftsman who was employed by James F. Post during 1859 and 1860, wrote:

. . . I took a drive out to Oakdale Cemetery, a cemetery laid outright in the pine forest, . . . a good number of oaks and prettyunderbrush among the oaks. An attractive stream bordered thewoods on one side. I saw the place had great possibilities. . . . . The foliage was beautifully fresh and numbers of various kinds ofbirds were singing and flitting about among the branches of theforest like place. Bunnell revisited Wilmington in 1900 and noted:

. . .it was really beautiful; monuments and extensive drives andwalks beautifully shaded by noble trees. Mr. [James F.] Post, one of his last works before his death, had designed the entrance and chapel. The building to which Bunnell refers was built in 1896 and

remained until the 1950’s long after the entrance was relocatedfrom Miller Street onthe west to North15th Street. Portionsof the foundation ofthe chapel remainand form the wallaround the Willetts’burial plot.

OAKDALE’S LEGACY Oakdale had a

huge effect on its nearneighbors, Pine Forest,

the 15 acre African-American cemetery purchased in 1860 by the town for “colored residents”, and Bellevue, the 1876 whitecemetery established “for the benefit of persons of modestmeans.” Both follow picturesque, romantic plans, taking advantage of the topography and natural vegetation, althoughthe designers are unknown. Both emulate the picturesque landscape design of Oakdale, using the rolling landscape toadvantage. Some of the plots are raised and enclosed withmasonry walls or metal railings.

OAKDALE TODAY The later sections of Oakdale brought the cemetery to 100

acres by World War II,but that addition lostthe picturesque, curvilinear plan infavor of a grid plan.The Annex Extensionof 1945 and theMemorial Garden of1950 increased theacreage to 128. Thosealso are on a grid planwith the latter actuallyprohibiting head stones all together!

The newest section named the “Live Oak Section,” wasopened just east of the 15th Street entrance gates and reusesthe gateposts from the old, closed entrance created in 1896 by James F. Post. While a grid plan on level land, the sectiondoes allow above-grade markers. But, the real Oakdale is thatoriginal 65 acres of undulating, panoramic scripture gardenwhich is an outdoor museum, displaying a history of Lower Cape Fear people and style, unmatched in the state.

On August 2nd, 2006, the Historic Wilmington

Foundation officially celebrated its 40th anniversary. On

that date in 1966, Thomas Wright, Kelly Jewell, Wallace Murchison

and R.V. Asbury formalized one of North Carolina’s earliest volunteer

preservation organizations by signing articles of incorporation. HWF

began frugally, with no paid staff, but soon employed Asbury as the

director and moved into the

Governor Dudley Mansion on

South Front Street, owned at

that time by Tom and

Elizabeth Wright. Urban

renewal had ruined much of

the fabric of downtown, and

many of the buildings that

remained were badly

deteriorated. HWF was created

to provide the money and

expertise to reverse the trend.

Instead of abandoning

blighted historic districts, HWF

focused on buying properties to restore with volunteer help. The

organization also held several large-scale events to promote historic

preservation, including an annual May Fair for supporters from across

the community and a speaker program which featured Wilmington

native David Brinkley discussing the city’s potential. One memorable

event in the early days was the redevelopment of a derelict block

between Church and Castle streets. This bold action signaled the

intent to preserve whole neighborhoods and save the character of the

entire city. Throughout the years, HWF borrowed money to repair

and repaint dozens of homes – many of them abandoned – before

selling them to preservation-conscious new

owners. They used the money they raised to

buy more. In an itinerant tradition that

continues to this day, volunteers worked on the

restoration of the HWF’s headquarters before

moving on to a new project and a new HQ:

the DeRosset House at Dock and South

Second streets. That property became a

flagship for the Foundation, as it took over 15 years of slow and

steady work to restore the house from a state of near collapse. Its

eventual sale provided the initial money for the revolving fund we

use today to save many other properties.

Based on our reputation and proven track record, HWF has

since secured many loans to save properties in the process of

condemnation. These

properties are located across

the region and range from

brick streets and houses to

warehouses, schools and

churches. By our involvement

with projects such as our

newest headquarters at St.

Andrew’s Church on North

Fourth Street, our traditions

remain and grow stronger. We

hope that this building will help

to drive a newly revitalized

north side of Wilmington.

Today, HWF remembers our founding principles through

educational programs, practical workshops, house tours, community

outreach and political advocacy. We possess over 70 easements that

ensure the future of significant buildings across the region, and we

sponsor a successful plaque program that documents the history of 450

sites. From humble beginnings, the Historic Wilmington Foundation

has grown to well over 1000 members. We thank you for your

participation with HWF. We can all be proud of our history as an

organization while looking forward to the challenges ahead.

Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear Region’s

Most Threatened Historic Places

The Historic Wilmington Foundation initiated its Most Threatened

Historic Places program in 2006 to call attention to threatened historic

properties. The initiative will help the Foundation and the community

spotlight irreplaceable historic, architectural, cultural, and archaeological

resources in Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear region that are in

imminent danger of being lost. A listing as a threatened place will generate

public attention, spark debate about cultural and architectural heritage

preservation, and hopefully attract new perspectives and ideas to an

endangered site in need of creative new solutions. The Foundation’s Most

Threatened Historic Places program is an open public process, bringing

more attention to these sites, and utilizing the public attention to save more

historic resources. The media attention and public discussion also helps

people evaluate the importance of our heritage and begin to understand that

historic preservation is more than just saving landmarks such as a courthouse,

or a well known building. It is about the renewal and restoration of old

commercial districts, neighborhoods, and our public open spaces. It is about

recognizing and preserving the history of all of our citizens. The Historic

Wilmington Foundation uses its newsletter and its website, as well as media

coverage, to provide publicity on the annual list. The Foundation also

provides updates on the status of the sites selected for the list. Please share

this nomination form with others and call the Foundation if you wish to

alert us to a threatened site. The nomination process is open to everyone in

Wilmington, and the counties of New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender.

PRESERVATION EASEMENTSPROTECTION FOR OUR ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE

CONTINUEDA preservation easement is a legal document between a property owner and the Historic

Wilmington Foundation. Easements may be granted on a façade, interior, or open spaceand are granted in perpetuity. Typically, restoration standards are established within theeasement as guidelines for the owner to follow. The purpose for this is to maintain the historic structural integrity of the building. Most owners of historic buildings are naturallyinclined to preserve the historic character of their property regardless. Owners placing aneasement on a property allow the historic character of the building to remain intact despitea future sale. In addition, an easement donation will ensure that future generations willcontinue to have the benefit and use of buildings that represent our cultural heritage.

An additional incentive is tax benefits. A property must be listed on the National Register of Historic Places to be eligible for tax benefits.The value of a donated easement is deductible as a charitable contribution on federal tax returns.

Historic Wilmington Foundation member, Jim Beck echoes the value of having an easement for both the owner and the community. “An easement is the only protection that a current homeowner can have for a building to prevent it from being torndown.” In addition, Beck states that, “Without easements there eventually would not be a historic district left.” Mr. Beck is firmlycommitted to the Historic Wilmington Foundation’s easement program and has placed easements on at least three historic homes over the last few years.

The Historic Wilmington Foundation can act as a steward for your property to prevent the caprice of fashion, future owners’ structural alterations, and irreversible demolitions. Most recently the community witnessed the razing of 109 South Fifth Street. Aneasement on this property would have prevented the demolition of this 1910 residence. In addition, an easement on Babies Hospital,the Ice House, and the Lumina Pavilion would have ensured their existence for many future generations. These are pieces of historythat cannot be called back from the grave to grace our visual landscape, and root us in our cultural heritage, without protective measures in place. For more information and assistance about donating an easement on your property, please call HistoricWilmington Foundation at (910) 762-2511.
