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.

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

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.

Fall 2006 -The News 5
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.
