The annual Tour of Homes is, for the 25th time, showcasing Summerville to hundreds of visitors. The increasingpopularity of the tour is visible evidence of the hard work and commitment that have enabled the SummervilleNeighborhood Association to preserve more than 200 years of important residential and architecturalheritage. I hope everyone in the neighborhood will join our guests in being part of the tour and celebrating ourlovely neighborhood.

The Summerville Neighborhood Association, YOUR neighborhood association, works throughout the year to“protect and enhance” the neighborhood, as stated in the Association’s by-laws. This year, the Associationhas, with money from your dues and the annual tours, provided sprinkler systems for both Appleby Library andHickman Park. Through such projects, these neighborhood treasures will be enhanced for years to come. Bydonating money to Monte Sano School, the Association has helped strengthen a neighborhood school whichholds childhood memories for many of our residents. Only with your support of membership and the tours canprojects like these happen.

Marjorie Kilchenstein, our tour chairperson, has assembled a wonderful lineup of houses for viewing this year-older, newer, larger, smaller-a real variety. I marveled at Marjorie’s creativity and energy as she tirelesslyspearheaded this project while awaiting the birth of her 3rd child! A big, big thank you to her! And, I want tothank all the homeowners for allowing their homes to be “on stage” this year. Each of them has given thecommunity a beautiful gift in allowing us into their homes.

This December ends my term as president of SNA. Working with the Association’s board has been such apleasure. This neighborhood is fortunate to have people who love it so and are willing to give long hours ofvolunteer time to it. It has been a privilege to be a part of this group.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. David Burton onreceiving the very prestigious Excellence in Restora-tion Award given by the Georgia Trust for theextensive restoration of the Davis-McCoy-BurtonHouse.

The Georgia Trust Awards for 2002 illustrate someof the best preservation activities in the state forsignificant contributions to preservation.

The Burtons were very kind in allowing this beautifulhome to be toured during the restoration and afterthe completion of the extensive project on theAnnual Tour of Homes 2002.

Below is an excerpt from the Georgia Trust Rambler Publication written about the Davis-McCoy-Burton House. Again,Congralations!

“The Davis-McCoy House was built in the 1830s and moved to its current location in the 1890s. The home had housedthe same family for many generations, and several alterations to the original floor plan have occurred since the familymoved out. One alteration resulted in the home being separated into four apartments in the 1930s. The Burton familybought the house in April 1996 and promptly began the initial rescue work. When the family could not find a buyer, theyundertook the complete restoration, including making the home handicap-accessible for their son. Repairs included thecareful restoration of the house’s exterior trim that adorns the full front porches. One of the front rooms is now anoffice with paneling and bookcases of heart pine recycled from wood available on the premises.”

CONGRATULATIONS!

Once Upon a Time in Summerville . . .Dating back to pre-Civil War times up to the early 1950’swas a unique Summerville tradition. Each July 4th, itsstreets were filled with “Fantastics” children dressed inadult clothes (often stuffed with pillows) and wearing“dough” faces, who strolled around their neighborhood.They were greeted with the little song, “Fantastic,fantastic, come this-a-way, come in the morning and stayall day.”

1. The home of David and Susan Burton – The “Before” 2324 Walton WayAs one approaches the antebellum home with its two-storied porch and Doric columns,one is reminded of the “old” flavor that still resides in Summerville. A handsome brick wallscreens the home from the traffic of the thoroughfare out front. A large deodara cedar,post oaks and magnolia tree create a lovely private oasis. The house was remodeled inthe Queen-Anne style after the Second World War, by the owner architect, Willis Irvin. Mr.Irvin carefully cut up the house, as some refer to as “Littleton”, into four largeapartments. The integrity of this solid house was respected during those renovations,but by the 1970’s, it was calling out to be restored into a single family dwelling. For thepast several decades, the Rabin family has once again loved and inhabited it. Now Davidand Susan Burton have plans to continue its conversion into a comfortable twenty-firstcentury home with a new kitchen, family room, and downstairs bedroom. Hopefully, thisremodeling project will begin after the 2002 Tour and the 11-foot ceilings, heart-pinefloors, countless fireplaces, and stained glass window accents will shine once again.

2. The home of Sandra and Harry Wade 2318 Williams Street

On the quiet end of William Street sits a nineteenth century white clapboard dwellingthat was known for years as the Simms-Lee Cottage. Originally, it was the barn orcarriage house of the Bransford estate on the corner of Walton Way extending throughthe block to William Street. Mrs. Lizzie Baker Bransford kept her Packard Touring car andher electric automobile there. In 1994 it was rescued from neglect, renovated andpurchased by the Wades two years later. Charm has always been one of its strongpoints, and over the past six years the Wades have redone many aspects of the house,transforming it into a home filled with warmth and airiness. Most of the downstairsfloors are heart pine. The sloping ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms add charm to thehouse. The décor reflects the Wades personalities and is complimented by their eclecticmix of rugs, family pieces, and art. The owners have spent long hours landscaping theneglected yard. They have turned it into an inviting haven of varied flowers and shrubbery,but still contend that it is a work in progress. They designed the custom built shutterson the house, as well as the back porch and patio area several years ago.

3. The home of Danny and Nicole Fitzgerald 2561 Walton Way

The house on the corner of Walton Way and Monte Sano Avenue could be called a sisterhouse; its mirror image is right next door. The large stucco home with its wide wrap-around porch was once joined to its next door neighbor by an elegant wrought-ironcatwalk of sorts. The 4,900 square-foot home is a mixture of historic andcontemporary. It was built in 1910/1911 and has fine turn-of-the-century craftsmanshipthat has been preserved; carved pillars, crystal chandeliers, enameled light fixtures, andstone hearths of eight fireplaces. Modern conveniences have also been added; the largekitchen with its central island, the master bedroom with its walk-in closet, and an airylaundry room on the second floor. The children’s bedrooms share an adjoining “Jack andJill” bath with a sink for each child. The original oak floors have mahogany inlay. Asurprisingly unique feature is the safe in the basement that is original to the house.

4. The home of Kim Dorr 1325 Glenn Avenue

The white clapboard bungalow is one of three built side-by-side in 1913 on Glenn Avenue.Six families decided to move there from other areas of town to create a “family”atmosphere. It was not uncommon for the families living on Glenn Avenue to sharedinners as well as participate in weekly activities. During the Depression, certain homeson the street were divided into apartments to rent. The Dorr home was one thatexperienced this change. Purchased in the 1980’s by the Warr’s, the apartments weredismantled and a huge remodeling effort began. The porch, once a bedroom, was back inits original state. Walls that were erected to create the apartments were removed andbedrooms reappeared. The single family home returned. In 1996, Kim Dorr and her familymoved into the Glenn Avenue house. Alive with three children and creativity, the housetook on a new life. Colorful rooms, jungle prints and plants bring excitement to the houseat every turn. All of the decorations are inspired by Kim’s vision of making this home afun and stimulating place to live for her and her children.

5. The home of Harriet Speer and Mike Wilson 2114 Richmond Avenue

Behind a small picket fence, sits this bungalow with its typical squatty columns on itsfront porch that Harriet Speer acquired in 1994. A feeling of casualness and peaceradiates as you ascend the stairs. The beige stucco exterior is met with plants, wroughtiron furniture, and a porch swing. Upon entering, the feeling of comfort, coziness, andperhaps creativity are exemplified in the living room, as well as the other colorful roomsthat radiate off of it. Harriet shares the home with her husband, Mike Wilson and herdaughter, Julia. Besides the effective use of color on the walls, the house is an exampleof the work that Harriet creates as a Feng Shui consultant and as a still-life painter.The garden, which was the site of Harriet and Mike’s wedding a few years back, hasevolved in just a few years from a desert into a sub-tropical environment. It now has ataste of India with eucalyptus, lilies, palms, and bamboo. Don’t miss the bathroom thatthey added within the 28-foot-long master bedroom a few years ago.

6. The home of Clyburn Davis 2135 McDowell Street

What appealed to Clyburn Davis about 2135 McDowell Street from the beginning was thewhite picket fence, quaint gated entry, manicured gardens, and comfortable southern frontporch. The early 1920’s Summerville bungalow style house was constructed for Mrs. ElizaGardner Rhind Ridgeley after the death of her husband Randolph Ridgeley who served as aCaptain in the Confederate Army. After a succession of owners the house was purchasedin 1992 by Glen and Marci Cannon who began extensive renovations all in keeping with theage and style of the original home. The house now flows beautifully through archedopenings from living room to dining room to kitchen. New oak cabinets, countertops andflooring were added in the functional kitchen and a cheery breakfast room boasts a brightyellow color theme with lots of family pictures, local artwork, and grape arbor mural. Wherethe original kitchen window faced the backyard there is now a pass through opening to letlight into the cozy interior space. A new den with built-ins added to the back of the housefor privacy opens onto a narrow trellised deck and the tiered, manicured back yard.Landscaping in the front and back yards was designed with easy maintenance in mind andis perfectly scaled to fit the cottage style of the house. When Clyburn saw the house inAugust 2001 he was immediately captivated with the charm and flow of its 1460 squarefeet and bought it from owner Ann Miller four hours later.

7. The home of Dr. Daniel and Mrs. Lona Rahn 920 Milledge Road

Twin Gables, designed by the architect Henry Ten Eyck Wendell in 1911, is an extraordinaryfour-story house in the Dutch Colonial Style. Each floor has its own character with theplacement of rooms and closet spaces. The rooms are very large with high ceilings;however, the décor and furnishings lend to a feeling of warmth and serenity. The sevenfireplaces, each with its own mantel design, are a touch typical of Wendell’s style. Thecrown moldings change from room to room, and there is a small 1924 Otis elevator. Theantique flower boxes in the Garden Room are noteworthy. Mr. Wendell was careful to useall available space, including spaces ordinarily regarded as voids. Every void space wasutilized either as a built-in drawer or a small closet. Windows were placed to maximizenatural light and to encourage natural ventilation. These quaint features make thehouse intriguing yet cordial.

8. The gardens of Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Rahn 920 Milledge Road

The featured garden on this years’ tour is secluded behind the imposing Dutch ColonialHome of MCG’s President. Construction of the home and gardens began in 1911 with thehauling in of rich soil from Phinizy Swamp to supplement the porous sand there naturally.H.T.E. Wendell designed the home and landscape architects Herbert, Fran, and White ofBoston planned the gardens. An intricate gravity-fed drainage system was installedthroughout the 3.2 acres of land. Many restorations have been made to the gardenkeeping in line with the original designs. Two pergolas, twin tea houses, a gazebo, an arch,a greenhouse, and a lily pool have been restored or replicated among the extensiveplantings of azaleas, roses, camellias, and boxwoods.

EVENSONG AT THEGOOD SHEPHERD

The Church of the Good Shepherd has always been atthe center of Summerville, both spiritually andphysically. The congregation was chartered in 1869and first met in the Summerville Academy building onWilliam Street. In 1871, Artemus Gould donated theland on which the church sits, and the name “GoodShepherd” was suggested for the new parish by hisson, Johnny. The original wooden structure wasreplaced by a more substantial brick one in 1880.That building burned in 1896, but the walls andstained glass windows, with the exception of theAltar window, were saved and used in the rebuiltchurch. The present structure was reconsecrated in1898 and has been in continuous use to this day.

The traditional close of the Tour of Homes will be aservice of Evensong, offered by the Good ShepherdChoir, under the direction of James Nord, Organist/Choirmaster. Evensong is considered by many to bethe “Crown Jewel” of all Anglican liturgies. The servicewill be taken from the Book of Common Prayer, 1789,which was the prayer book in use at the founding ofthe parish. All the music will be of the period, andrendered in much the same manner as it was heard inthe early days of Summerville.

The service will begin at 6pm and last about thirtyminutes. The public is cordially invited to attend. Areception in honor of Summerville residents will beheld in the church garden following the service.
