Meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m. STAFF REPORT HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION – CITY OF JEFFERSON, MISSOURI May 1, 2018 CASE: School Street Local Historic District Property Owner initiated application for formation of a local historic district. NATURE OF REQUEST The purpose of the request is to form a local historic district in accordance with Section 8-44 of the City Code. The application materials include responses to the criteria for formation of a local historic district as outlined in City Code. Proposed design guidelines for future construction and renovations within the district were submitted with the application. The application was signed by 22 of the 28 property owners within the proposed district, which meets the 75% property owner signatory requirement for application for a local historic district. PUBLIC NOTICE AND INFORMATIONAL MEETING Notice of public hearing has been mailed to all property owners of record within the proposed district and public notification signs have been placed within the proposed district. A public informational meeting giving details of the proposal, application process, and resulting regulatory requirements was held on April 19. CRITERIA FOR NOMINATION OF LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT The application includes a narrative describing how the area qualifies for designation based on the criteria for formation of a local historic district outlined in Section 8-44 of the City Code. Please see the application narrative for applicant responses as to how the district qualifies under each of the criteria. Staff have attempted to summarize the narrative as follows: The narrative states justification for formation of the historic district based on four general points. 1. The association of the neighborhood with the broader event of segregation. 2. The association of the neighborhood with “The Foot”, an adjacent commercial center that once served the area. 3. The residence within the area of past Lincoln University professors and other notable figures. 4. The historic architecture of the area. REQUIRED FINDINGS The Commission must make a determination as to whether the area qualifies for nomination pursuant to one or more of the criteria for nomination. If the Commission finds that the area qualifies under the review criteria, the commission must make a determination as to whether the area has sufficient integrity of location, design, materials and workmanship to make it worthy of preservation or restoration. Petition by property owners, with 75% of the owners having signed the application forms, is not by itself sufficient justification for formation of a local historic district , the application must meet the required findings as well. PROCEDURE FOR PROCESSING LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT APPLICATION The primary purpose for formation of Local Historic Districts (as outlined in the city code of the City of Jefferson) is to serve as justification for enactment of building design regulations. The state statutory allowances for such regulations are heavily rooted in zoning powers granted to cities by the State. If approved by the Historic Preservation Commission, the application for Local Historic District and proposed Design Guidelines would be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission (primarily for review and recommendations regarding the design guidelines) prior to being sent to the City Council for consideration. Both meetings would be public hearing style meetings. DESIGN GUIDELINES The primary purpose of formation of a local historic district is to regulate the building design in the interest of preserving historical character, and formation of a local historic district necessities adoption of design criteria regulating future construction and building modifications. The application includes proposed design guidelines, which are a subjective set of criteria that would be used by the Historic Preservation Commission when reviewing future building permit applications for the area. If approved, any future exterior building proposals or modifications in the area would be subject to Historic Preservation Commission review and approval. Please see the design guidelines document. Staff have attempted to summarize the design guidelines as follows: 1. Building Modifications – encouragement of rehabilitation over replacement of exterior features, with replacement features, materials, windows, roof forms, etc. needing to be compatible with existing features in the area. Building additions to the side or rear. 2. New Buildings – Similar in scale and character to existing buildings. Setbacks along existing build lines and no garage doors facing street 3. Site Features – Limited front yard paving. Landscaping features consistent with area. School Street Local Historic District Application Page 2 Historic Preservation Commission CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES/RELATION TO FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS Substantial improvement floodplain regulations prohibit improvements of greater than 50% of the value of a structure that is located within a floodplain and below the regulated elevation for the community (which is 1’ above base flood elevation). Federal floodplain regulations provide for an exemption from the 50% substantial improvement regulation for contributing historic structures within a certified district. It is not clear to city staff whether the formation of a local historic district would result in relief from the substantial improvement floodplain regulations for the str uctures within that district nor is it clear to city staff as to the mechanics of how that determination would be made. Repeated attempts to obtain clarity on this topic from state and federal regulators have not provided a clear understanding or definitive answer. It is city staff’s understanding that any relief from substantial improvement regulations that may be available, would only be available to structures that are “contributing” structures. The application proposes that all 27 of the structures located within the district be designated as “contributing”. It is city staff’s understanding that if the area were designated a National Register District, the contributing structures within the district would qualify for relief from the substantial improvement floodplain regulations. PRIOR HISTORIC STUDIES Two studies, meeting qualifications outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations, have been conducted in the area: 1. An Architectural/Historic Survey was prepared by the The Urbana Group for the Jefferson City Commission on Historic Preservation and Jefferson City Department of Planning and Code Enforcement in September 1992. This study found that of the 27 properties within the proposed School Street Historic District, only 12 were identified as contributing to a potential historic district. 2. An Architectural Survey of the Proposed Improvements to the Rex Whitton Expressway was completed in July 2008. This study focused primarily on the Lafayette corridor, with 7 of the 27 properties within the proposed School Street Historic District being included in the study. The seven properties were not identified as having potential for the National Register or having district potential. TYPES OF DISTRICTS PERMITTED BY CITY CODE The primary purpose of local historic designation is to serve as justification for and establish design requirements for the associated district. The process for establishment of local historic districts was put in place in 1998, as part of a tiered structure of tools available for implementation of design requirements in historic areas. The three tiered system that was put in place in 1998 was as follows: 1. Neighborhood Conservation Advisory District – Advisory requirements only. 2. Neighborhood Conservation Planned District – Objective process, with design requirements established. 3. Historic District – Subjective process involving design review board (the Historic Preservation Commission). In 2006, the regulations for Neighborhood Conservation districts were rewritten and moved to the Zoning Code, and the allowance for formation of an advisory district was removed altogether. Section 8-40 of the City Code provides guidance for evaluating proposals for districts on a sliding scale, with most careful scrutiny given to applications for historic districts in comparison to the conservation districts. EXISTING CITY CODE The existing city code language pertaining to formation of a local historic district is heavily tied to applications for building permits, rather than a “Certificate of Appropriateness” process as is most common for historic districts in other communities. Recent amendments associated with adoption of the 2015 Building Code have resulted in removal of requirements for building permits for modifications on the exterior envelope of a building, which is out of sync with the purpose of establishing design requirements for a local historic district. City Staff believe that, if the district is approved, an amendment to the city code would be necessary to provide clarity on how proposals for exterior modifications would be processed. Other areas of potential amendment include formation of an appeal process and providing for representation of the district on the zoning map. School Street Local Historic District Application Page 3 Historic Preservation Commission STAFF ANALYSIS Staff have broken the analysis of the application into a number of individual components as follows: 1. The application narrative goes into great detail on the history of the nation, Jefferson City, and the general eastside area, and ties justification of the formation of the district to broader historical trends. However, the area does not appear to be the location of a notable or defining element of that history. Staff are concerned that the link to broader historical trends may not be a strong enough link to warrant historic designation. 2. The narrative identifies several Lincoln University professors and others that resided in the area, with specific addresses of their residence and summary of notable events of their lives. Staff concern is that residence within an area may not be a strong enough tie to warrant historical significance for the structure or justify historic designation of the area as a whole, that the location of their achievements (primarily Lincoln University) is a more relevant tie to their accomplishments. 3. The narrative describes the architectural details of the structures within the proposed district, with a large number of the structures being four square style and other structures representing a number of architectural styles. Staff are concerned that the structures within the area may not be of sufficient distinguishing architectural characteristics to warrant historic designation. 4. The City Code indicates that most careful scrutiny and consideration shall be given to applications for historic districts (as opposed to applications for lower levels of the tiered structure of districts put in place in 1996). Staff are concerned that the level of historic designation proposed by the application may conflict with this guidance, that the general public would be hard pressed to identify the proposed district as being a significant feature of Jefferson City history, worthy of preservation and restoration under the most stringent regulations available, while other areas of the City that are commonly cited as being historic do not benefit from an equal or greater designation. 5. Staff are concerned that the number of structures that are represented as contributing structures conflicts with analysis undertaken as part of the Lafayette interchange highway project and the 1992 Urbana Group Architectural Survey study. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff do not feel that the required findings for approval of a local historic district are met, as outlined in the staff analysis. Staff recommend that Commission members carefully consider the information put forward as justification for historic district designation, as well as the level of historic designation that is sought. REQUIRED FINDINGS A. That the area qualifies for nomination pursuant to one or more of the criteria for nomination. B. That the area has sufficient integrity of location, design, materials an d workmanship to make it worthy of preservation or restoration. FORM OF MOTION (two separate motions) 1. Motion for approval of the application for formation of the School Street Local Historic District. 2.

Jefferson City Local Historic District Application Criteria for Nomination of a Historic District: Include a narrative with the application that provides responses to each of the following review criteria: How does the area qualify for designation as a Historic District with respect to: 1. Its character, interest, or value as part of the development, heritage or cultural characteristics of the community, county, state or nation. (A more complete history is attached as an addendum, for those who want more detail, including sources referenced. The Executive Summary captures the main topics of historical interest.) Executive Summary of Area History The Jefferson City neighborhood that includes the 600 block of E. McCarty St., the 400 and the west side of the 500 block of Lafayette St. and all of School St. is one that represents a part of our community’s history from the post-Civil War era through the 1960s. This small neighborhood is located in the section of town where African-Americans were allowed to live prior to passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, when segregated housing was the norm.1 This neighborhood retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association with this time period and meets Criteria A for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register): historic resources that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. Most of the other dwellings that housed African-American families in that era have been demolished, to clear the way for the Whitton Expressway (Highway 50), during Urban Renewal efforts, for construction of city facilities, or with use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to clear deteriorated structures prior to construction of housing by Habitat for Humanity. Of the remaining structures from this era in our history, the School Street Historic District (SSHD) is the most intact, showing how close these neighbors were to each other and best representing the community’s African-American history. The School Street Historic District is eligible for listing as a Local Historic District or on the National Register of Historic Places due to the following: ➢ Residents of this neighborhood depended on the commercial area known as the Foot, which was located nearby, centered on the 600 block of Lafayette. African -American owned businesses in the Foot served and depended on support from African-Americans who resided nearby. As they were not welcomed in many of the downtown businesses, African-Americans relied on services received from the Foot. During urban renewal in 11 Throughout this document, the term “African-Americans” is often used to refer to people of color. In the different time periods discussed in this application, that term would not have been used, as it is of more recent vintage. The term “black” is also used, in this is a term found in much of the research for this report, and is not meant as a negative term. The term “negro” appears in a graphic from a 1930s publication, but is not used elsewhere. the 1960s, the Foot was demolished, leaving the SSHD as the best preserved area reflecting this period in Jefferson City’s history. ➢ Dr. W.A. Ross, who lived at 500 Lafayette St., marched with Dr. Martin Luther King in the historic march from Selma to Montgomery in 1962. Dr. Ross practiced medicine from his office in this house for 53 years, and held hospital privileges at Charles E. Still Osteopathic Hospital (now Capitol Region Hospital).2 Dr. Ross also served as the Director of Health Services at LU from 1960 to 1982 and served as President of the local NAACP chapter for 35 years. Dr. Ross passed away in 2007.3 ➢ During segregation, several professors from Lincoln University (LU) lived in this area, with several of them being pioneers for African-Americans in their field. The stately four-square houses on the east side of the 400 block of Lafayette were owned by Cecil Blue, Chester Himes, James Seeney, Marcia Hammons, Lorenzo Greene, Sterling Brown, A.T. Busby, Dr. A.S. Pride and others.4 ➢ Dr. James Seeney was the first African-American to hold a Doctorate in Education from the University of Missouri. Dr. Seeney was the long-time principal of the Lincoln University Laboratory School, and head of the LU Department of Education.5 The Seeney family boasts a total of 20 teachers, including Dr. Seeney’s daughter, who was the first African-American teacher at St. Peter’s School, and his daughter-in-law, who established the first kindergarten in the St. Elizabeth Schools and was its first full-day teacher.6 ➢ The first African-American graduate of the Jefferson City Public School System lived at 411 Lafayette St., Cecil Blue’s daughter Barbara (nickname: Bobsie). Barbara graduated in 1955.7 ➢ Leland G. Smith, who lived at 620 School St., is remembered for his contributions to Jefferson City schools over his 25 year career, as the top award in Jefferson City’s Little Olympics competition was named in his honor. Mr. Smith graduated from Lincoln University with a B.A. and a Master of Arts from the University of Witchita, KS. Leland served as principal of Washington School from 1945 to its closure in 1956, when the public schools were integrated. He then worked for the Jefferson City Public Schools, serving as assistant to the Jefferson City School Board until shortly before his death in 1971. Mr. Smith served as the President of the Missouri State Teachers Association. [Carlos Graham’s daughter recently won the Leland Smith award in the Little Olympics.] ➢ Dr. A.S. Pride (Armistead Pride), dean of the Journalism Department at Lincoln University, was nationally known in the field of journalism. Dr. Pride lived at 408 Lafayette St. In 1959, he shared his home with Eugene Harmes, an LU professor and 2 The Sunday News and Tribune, June 14, 1964, pg. 32. 3 Findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page+gr&Grid+65633363, accessed 8/25/17. 4 “Yesterday & Today,” Carolyn Bening, Aug. 2017 p. 4. 5 Dr. Gary Kremer, “Missouri’s Black Historic Sites.” 6 Interview by the author with Kenny Seeney, 9/27/17. 7 Interview with Kenny Seeney, 9/27/17; Jefferson City High School yearbook, courtesy Caro lyn McDowell. M.S. Lusk, an administrative clerk at Lincoln. He taught at the University of Cairo8 in Egypt and Italy under a Fulbright program in 1956, and sponsored ten students who traveled to Italy with him, living with local families to learn about their culture. During the 1969-1970 school year, Dr. Pride served as visiting professor in communications at Temple University. Dr. Pride held an A.B. degree from Michigan, an A.M. from Chicago and an M.S.J. and PhD. from Northwestern. Dr. Pride began teaching at LU in 1937. Previously, he worked as city editor for the Lamar (CO) Daily News and as a correspondent for the Denver, CO office of the Associated Press. He wrote a weekly column for the St. Louis Argus and Louisville (KY) Defender. Dr. Pride served as vice-president of the American Society of Journalism School Administrators, editor of their yearbook and chairman of its International Relations Committee. Dr. Pride was fluent in Italian, offering classes in the language at LU in the early 1960s. ➢ Dr. Cecil Blue, a professor of English at LU, is remembered today as one of the “Color Boys” – Dr. Blue and Dr. Green – that Dr. Gary Kremer has written about. Their Craftsman style bungalow was demolished to make way for the new Lafayette St. interchange with Highway 50. But Dr. Blue’s home was at 411 Lafayette St., where he lived from 1946,9 presumably into the 1980s.10 Dr. Blue was educated at Harvard, taught English at LU from 1928 until his retirement in 1973, and served as President of the Missouri conference of the American Association of University Professors in 1969- 1971.11 ➢ Dr. Lorenzo Greene was a member of the LU faculty from 1933 to his retirement in 1972. He was described as “one of Missouri’s foremost leaders in developing equal rights for blacks.”12 Dr. Green served as acting head of the History and Government Department for LU at the end of his long career, and was selected as a representative of the National Association of the Study of Negro Life and History on the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission’s Heritage 76 Committee. In 1971, Dr. Green received an honorary degree from the University of Missouri. (Another recipient that same year was R. Marlin Perkins, the well-known former director of the St. Louis Zoo.) ➢ Professors Arthur and Marcia Hammons lived at 409 Lafayette St..

A brief architectural description of each house is provided in this document. This summary, and the extended history in the addendum, are not intended to be the full and complete history of the School Street Historic District. But the items included in the summary give the reader a sense of the history represented by the people who lived here, and the houses where they lived. While LU represents an important part of our community’s history, the stories of the African- Americans who lived in this area and built or supported African-American-owned businesses in the commercial area known as the Foot (demolished during Urban Renewal) also needs to be preserved. The other areas that remain from the African-American community are located on Lafayette St. and E. Dunklin St., Maple St., Jackson St. and Roland Street. The blocks adjacent to LU are already being purchased and houses demolished by the university. A number of houses on Maple and Jackson Streets were demolished and replaced during urban renewal by more modern houses during the 1960s. Roland St. was developed by the Jefferson City Housing Authority during and after urban renewal in the 1960s and 70s, as African-Americans could not buy lots and build houses elsewhere in the city. This leaves the subject neighborhood as the oldest and possibly the most likely to remain intact into the future. 2. Its location as a site of a significant local, county, state or national event. Discussion under the Detailed History of SSHD (attached) explains why African-American residents of Jefferson City came to be concentrated in the area where the proposed Historic District is located. To fully understand why the proposed Historic District is significant to Jefferson City’s history, we must review what happened to the rest of the area where African- American residents lived prior to the 1960s. Urban Renewal – Nationally With the increase in popularity of the automobile, people began to live farther from work, resulting in ever-expanding growth of suburbs and semi-rural developments near urban areas. As inner cities were drained of residents, particularly after World War II, cities faced an increase in The School St. Historic District, shown at far left in 1960, and at left in 2011 aerial photos. This neighborhood remains largely intact. One house on the west end of the 600 block of E. McCarty St. and at the end of School St. were demolished for construction of the greenway, and several houses removed for Quinn Chapel on Lafayette. deteriorating rental and vacant properties. The federal government’s attempts to address issues related to poor quality housing and inner city deterioration have been controversial since they began in the 1940s, with passage of the 1949 Housing Act. Title I of this Act focused on “slum clearance.” The 1954 Housing Act was supposed to shift the focus away from demolition and towards rehabilitation and preservation of housing. Other legislation dealt with problems related to relocation of those displaced by Title I programs. In the 1960s, less focus was given to quality housing stock, and more to development of healthy communities. Reorganization of the Housing and Home Finance Agency resulted in the Department of Housing and Urban Development, known as HUD, in 1965. The Fair Housing Act passed in 1968, further directing funding efforts.13 Helping to change these programs were critics such as Jane Jacobs, who decried destruction of historic neighborhoods and construction of modernist replacements. Her 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities contained her arguments that “cities embodied organized complexity and that so-called ‘disorderly’ slums were better than the rationally planned spaces that displaced them, both economically and socially.” Since then, concerns have been raised regarding political, social and legal implications including the impact of em inent domain on property rights, aesthetic concerns, incorporation of historic preservation in revitalization efforts, justice and equity – particularly that the burden of displacement created by urban renewal landed on poor and minority residents without consultation or compensation. Urban Renewal – Jefferson City Jefferson City has undergone a number of Urban Renewal initiatives. Quinn Chapel was relocated from E. Miller Street to Lafayette in 1955 due to early urban renewal efforts,14 and relocated again recently for the Lafayette St. interchange. Another early project was a $13 million project in a 5-block area near the Missouri State Capitol. This project removed the buildings on the southeast corner of the Capitol block, including the Old Post Office and the Central Hotel, made room for the Senate parking garage near Lohman’s Landing and removed buildings from three blocks north of First Baptist Church and opposite the Missouri Pacific train depot on State Street.15 The next project involved a much larger area, including all of downtown from Missouri Boulevard on the west, Highway 50 on the south, Lafayette on the east and the Missouri River on the north. Numerous buildings were demolished for creation of parking lots or to allow new construction. The roundhouse by the railroad was demolished in this urban renewal project. The most recent urban renewal effort was located in the Millbottom area, west of the Missouri State Capitol and north of the Whitton Expressway (Highway 50). This area was cleared of numerous commercial businesses and a few houses from the early days of Jefferson City’s development to make way for state office buildings and associated parking lots. The Jefferson City Housing Authority was created by the Missouri Legislature in the late 1950's. By 1960, Executive Director Ted J. Herron was building the first Public Housing Project 13 Elora Raymond, “The Economic Effects of Urban Renewal,” Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta website, Sept. 1 8, 2014, http://realestateresearch.frbatlanta.org/rer/2014/09/the-economic-effects-of-urban-renewal.html, accessed Aug. 26, 2017. 14 Michelle Brooks, News Tribune. 15 News Tribune, March 1964. in Jefferson City. It was built on what had been locally called "goat hill" because of the livestock that ran freely there. Tar paper shacks without indoor plumbing gave way to modern apartments. The new units had up-to-date kitchens with stoves, refrigerators and running water.16 The “goat hill” project was located at what was the edge of town at that time. During and after the Great Depression, displaced white families built whatever type of shelter they could on this hill. So the houses that were replaced here were temporary in nature, not ones that families had lived in, paid mortgages on and where they had raised their families for decades.17 The Housing Authority worked closely with Lincoln University in selecting the area to be included in the next urban renewal project. Forty years after Lincoln started attracting top-notch professors to teach in Jefferson City, the tensions within the African-American community had begun to bubble to the surface. This was Lincoln University’s opportunity to remove what they viewed as blight, with the cafes, bars and pool hall, the barber shop where men could gather to “chew the fat,” and where drinking likely occurred adjacent to the entrance to their university. These small, crowded businesses provided for the needs of the poor and working class members of the African-American community. The academics, in their offices high on the hill above, may have seen this as a chance to distance themselves from those on the other end of the economic spectrum in the African-American community. The Housing Authority’s report referred to the Foot and the surrounding area as “a slum, blighted, deteriorated and deteriorating, an economic and social liability and a menace to the public health, safety and welfare in its present condition and use.”18 Whatever motivations were involved, the result was that a large number of African-American families and rental property owners were encouraged to sell their homes to the Housing Authority. A number of years ago, a former resident of the area remembered that time, saying his parents were glad to sell their home. It was only later that they realized that their community had been dismantled, its residents scattered as they searched for housing elsewhere.19 The Housing Authority had not planned to construct publicly funded housing in the cleared area, as federal regulations discouraged such repopulation in urban renewal projects. But, the people displaced by demolition of housing could not buy or rent houses elsewhere in the community due to the prevalence of race discrimination. Discrimination in housing may have been outlawed in 1968, but integration didn’t become common in Jefferson City until the 1980s. So the Housing Authority built 50 units of public housing on E. Elm St. and purchased and developed 27 lots on Franklin and Roland Streets, near the southern end of the project, so that African-Americans could purchase lots and build houses. Ultimately, only a handful of the 21 families displaced from E. Elm St. built houses in the new development, as banks wouldn’t lend them money for 16 Jefferson City Housing Authority website, accessed Aug. 27, 2017. 17 News Tribune.

Bell is shown as owning 522 Lafayette in the 1957 city directory. In 2006, Mr. Bell’s father (A.G. Bell) was living in Fulton, having left Jefferson City after selling his house on Lafayette. new homes. The rest of the buyers were Lincoln University faculty and staff.20 In 1959, the majority of the Foot was demolished in preparation for construction of the Whitton Expressway. The new highway was constructed over Lafayette Street between Elm and Miller Streets, in the middle of the 500 block. The majority of Jefferson City’s African-American residents lived nearby in areas that were razed in 1962 as part of the Campus View Urban Renewal Project, directed by the Jefferson City Housing Authority. This once vibrant neighborhood included a densely developed area on E. Elm St., where public housing was later constructed, Lafayette from Elm to E. Dunklin St., Dunklin between Jackson and Lafayette, much of Locust St., Maple St., the 500, 600 and 700 blocks of Lafayette St., Cherry St. and Chestnut St..21 After removal of the Foot, the Housing Authority became the Land Clearance Authority for Jefferson City. In the late 1960's and the 1970's the Land Clearance Authority worked on projects in neighborhoods all over town. One example was the purchase and demolition of the former M.M. Parsons house, and construction of the Hamilton and Dulle Towers on State Street. The Housing Authority also purchased the Jefferson Female Seminary on the south side of State St., and after years of deterioration and occupation by homeless individuals, sold the property to Dean Martin and Carol Blaney, who rehabilitated the structure in the 1990s. Adjacent to the towers is 505 State, initially purchased for use as a library for tower residents. When that plan was terminated, the house was vacant for 18 years before being sold and rehabilitated. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the big urban renewal project was in the Millbottom area, where a number of commercial, industrial and residential structures were located and where floodwaters from Wear’s Creek and the Missouri River had been a problem. In the beginning of this project there was a survey done of the project area, to identify historic and archaeological resources during the planning phase. A number of historic buildings had their history and architecture researched and documented, with Historic American Building Survey documentation filed in the Library of Congress for cultural resources that were demolished. The Byrd-Haar House, now a nail salon, was moved from W. Main to Bolivar Street so it could be preserved. The Upschulte House was moved from W. Main to the rear of the Cole County Historical Society property in the 100 block of Madison Street. The Joseph Porth House, now home to Architects Alliance, was rented for a number of years to the Corps of Engineers before being sold by the Housing Authority. This project provided space for construction of state offices in the Truman Building and the Secretary of State’s building, as well as numerous parking lots. 20 Shelby Rowe, News Tribune, Oct. 30, 2016. 21 “Site of Proposed Urban Renewal Project,” News Tribune, May ?, ???? E. Dunklin St. Lafayette St. Campus View Urban Renewal Project Area, 1962 Lincoln University The former MoDOT garage has been renovated and additions constructed to provide state office space for MoDOT employees with adjacent parking. The Hagan-Brooks house at 501 Cherry had been continuously owned for over 110 years by two African American families from 1872 until purchased by the City of Jefferson in January 1982 to be torn down for a bus maintenance garage. Much has been written about “The Monastery” and its identical neighbors. When consultants for the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) wrote their report in July 2008, they stated that these four houses, built in an identical Craftsman style, “possess both social, historical, and architectural significance…” and were eligible for listing on the National Register.22 Yet they were demolished after documentation was completed to allow construction of new ramps for the Lafayette / Highway 50 interchange circa 2015. The term “urban renewal” has developed such a negative connotation since the 1960s and 1970s that it is not often used any more. Instead, the city has turned to use of CDBG funds to remove individual structures, then often gives the vacant lots to the local Habitat for Humanity chapter to build new homes. Habitat has rehabilitated several older homes, but construction of new homes remains the organization’s preference. Several of the oldest houses remaining in the E. Miller – Cherry area where African-Americans lived in the past were demolished for redevelopment of the lots by Habitat. For the proposed Historic District area, the city plans to use federal funds to demolish houses to implement a floodplain map that was revised in 2012. A number of articles and reports in recent years have indicated that the only remnants of the Foot were the Community Center on E. Dunklin (owned by the city and listed on the National Register) and Dr. Ross’ former house at 500 Lafayette. Perhaps that is because so much emphasis has been placed on the commercial aspect of the Foot. But the Foot and its surrounding residential areas were always linked, as the Foot couldn’t survive without support from the African-Americans who lived within walking distance, and the residents couldn’t survive without shops and other businesses where they could procure food and other services. As Faye Carter told Nancy Vessell, “You really didn’t miss anything. You were just kind of in your own little world.”23 Comparing this area to a current map shows the very few areas that remain at present where African-American residents were allowed to live: School St., Lafayette St. south of E. Dunklin St., Dunklin St. east of Lafayette St., Locust St., and some houses on Maple St.. 3. Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the development of the community, county, state or nation. A number of LU professors bought houses in the 400 and 500 blocks of Lafayette. These stately four-square houses were owned by Cecil Blue, Chester Himes, James Seeney, Marcia Hammons, 22 “Architectural Survey of the Proposed Improvements to the Rex Whitton Expressway, Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri,” Archaeological Research Center of St. Louis, Inc., Meredith McLaughlin, Janet Kneller, Eric Gustafson, and Robin Machiran, July 2008, p. 79. 23 Michelle Brooks, News Tribune. Lorenzo Greene, Sterling Brown, A.T. Busby and others.24 In 1959, three LU employees shared a house at 408 Lafayette: A.S. Pride, a department head at LU, Eugene Harmes, a professor and M.S. Lusk, an administrative clerk at Lincoln. Dr. R.G. Richardson lived and had his doctor’s office at 421 Lafayette in 1959. 25 All of the African-American residents of the proposed Historic District supported and depended on the area known as “the Foot” for supplies and services. In recent years, the Foot has been recognized as a non-extant historic area, and has been designated as such with placement of a commemorative marker in the 600 block of Lafayette. It is now time to recognize the surrounding area where those that were part of the Foot community lived as also historic. The proposed Historic District is one of the few areas remaining that relate to the community centered on the Foot. Houses located on E. Dunklin and Lafayette Streets facing Lincoln University have begun to be purchased and demolished by the university. This is in line with the university’s master plan, currently being revised. Once these houses are removed, the proposed Historic District may be all that remains representing this part of Jefferson City’s history. 4. Its embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style valuable for the study of a period, type, method of construction or use of indigenous materials. The SSHD contains buildings that represent or were influenced by a number of architectural styles and types. Within the district are two Craftsman style houses, one Queen Anne house, one Classical Revival and one Colonial Revival influenced home. The most dominant architectural influence in the district is the Four-Square type house, which was quite popular in the 1890s through the early 1900s. There are twelve Four-Square houses in the district. Folk Victorian vernacular type houses include four Open Gable houses, three Cross-Gabled homes, one Gable Front, one L-Plan house and one Pyramidal Cottage. These styles and types were typical for middle class housing when this neighborhood was built. Architectural descriptions of each house are provided at the end of this document. 5. Its identification as a work of a master builder, designer, architect, or landscape architect whose individual work has influenced the development of the community, county state or nation. As with many houses in our community, we do not know for certain who designed or built these houses. Plan books were readily available at the time, so builders would not have needed an architect to design modest homes. No records remain from this time period that would identify builders of specific houses. 6. Its embodiment of elements of design, detailing, materials or craftsmanship that render it architecturally significant. The porches in this neighborhood are a significant feature. Almost all of the houses retain their original porch elements, with variations as to style. The most distinctive porch is found at 612 E. 24 “Yesterday & Today,” Carolyn Bening, Aug. 2017 p. 4. 25 Mullin-Kille et.al., 1959 city directory, p. 234, 275 et. al. McCarty, with a nearly full-width Queen Anne style porch that curves out at the left side, featuring a full wooden entablature, denticulated cornice, three Doric columns set on limestone pedestals and a simple wood balustrade that follows the curved roof line on the left side of the porch. Doric style columns are also found on the porches at 608 E. McCarty, 616 E.McCarty, 407 and 411 Lafayette St.. Pyramidal roofs are dominant in this district, not only on the main structures, but on porch and dormer roofs as well. The majority of the houses are constructed of red brick, with three white painted brick houses, one stucco and one stone house. The majority of the houses facing the more visible E. McCarty. and Lafayette Streeets are two-story, while more one to one and a half story houses are found on School St. Through the use of red brick and one- story front porches, the design elements found in this district provide a sense of continuity from one house to another. A significant number of original windows remain, in their original sized openings, showing similar fenestration patterns on a number of the houses. Since there are quite a few (12) Four-Square style houses, the pattern of two large windows of the same size on the second floor is a dominant feature of the neighborhood. 7. Its embodiment of design elements that make it structurally or architecturally innovative. The houses in this district are more similar in their architecture than they are individually distinctive. They reflect architectural styles and types that were popular from the 1880s until circa 1920. The Four Square house type was very popular from 1890 to 1930, and is common in the Midwest. During this time there was a national trend toward simpler designs, in reaction to the more elaborate Victorian era style houses. The availability and abundance of mass produced stock materials facilitated construction of all the houses in the neighborhood. The Four Square house was promoted in magazines, mail order companies and companies selling plans as uniquely American and perfectly suited to the American family. The Colonial Revival style was popular from 1870 to 1940, and the Classical Revival style began after the World’s Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago in 1893, as a classical theme dominated this exposition. This style remained popular until 1950. The Bungalow style was a dominant subtype in smaller houses from 1905 through the early 1920s. This style originated in California, which made this style seem more “modern” as smaller families and fewer servants required less space than the larger houses of previous years. A number of the houses in the district would be best described as Folk Victorian, particularly those that are Gabled Front, Cross-Gabled, Pyramidal or L-Plan. These house types were popular nationally from 1890 to 1910 (sometimes styles in Missouri lagged behind national trends). 8. Its unique location or singular physical characteristics that make it an established or familiar visual feature. The importance of the location of these houses, in close proximity to the Foot, cannot be overemphasized. The residents of this area were primarily African-American, as during segregation realtors and banks would not sell or lend money to African-Americans to purchase houses outside of this section of town. They depended on services and supplies found at the Foot, as they were not welcomed in restaurants elsewhere in the community. Hotels in the Foot were used by African-Americans traveling to Jefferson City, as they were not welcomed in hotels elsewhere in the city. African-Americans elected to state-wide office stayed in the dorms at LU while attending legislative sessions, as they could not rent apartments outside of the African- American community. The African-American section of town operated as a town within a city. People had jobs outside the area, but they lived, shopped, went to school and church in the same part of town, making this a close knit community. The houses all retain integrity from this segregation period, and are the best remaining group of buildings that represent this period in our community’s history. 9. Its character as a particularly fine or unique example of a utlilitarian structure, including, but not limited to, farmhouses, gas stations or other commercial structures, with a high level of integrity or architectural significance. Some historic garages may remain in the district, but they are not particularly notable examples of outbuildings in the community. The houses in the neighborhood are the primary structures of interest. 10. Does the area have sufficient integrity of location, design, materials and workmanship to make it worthy of preservation or restoration? Yes, as this neighborhood retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association with this time period and meets Criteria A for listing on the National Register: historic resources that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. Detailed History of School Street Historic District Before this area was developed, it was known as “Cottage Park,” a recreational area with ball fields in the open space near Wears Creek. The annual floral parade, where residents decorated their cars and paraded them on High St. and Capitol Ave., terminated at Cottage Park.26 A number of parades still terminate nearby in the 600 block of Lafayette Street. The lots in this district were sold on August 11,1905 to A.J. Abbott from Douglas County, Missouri, for a development of moderately priced homes. The area sold was 1,000’ in length along E. McCarty, School and E. Miller Streets.27 Architecture The architecture exhibited in this neighborhood, while not high-style dwellings like those found on Capitol Avenue, represents housing typical of middle class families in this area from 1870 to 1968. The importance of maintaining “normal” or “average” housing was described by Gary Kremer: The random destruction of buildings that serve as material links connecting several generations contributes to a lack of understanding on the part of one generation about how they are connecting links to those who preceded and those who will follow them. This unfortunate circumstance tends to occur with greater 26 Interview with Dr. Gary Kremer by the author, Oct. 24, 2017. 27 Tim Young, from research on history of Jefferson City Fire Department. frequency in lower-class and ethnic neighborhoods. Residents of these often blighted areas, first of all, are relatively powerless. They have no representatives in the arenas of power where decisions are made. Moreover, their very poverty and social marginality preclude their living, worshipping, and otherwise interacting in elaborately built, architecturally sophisticated buildings. Ironically, then, we often find ourselves in a position of preserving the material culture of an unrepresentative body of peopIe, while we destroy the houses, businesses, schools and churches of the masses. When we do this, we not only frustrate and further alienate the uprooted residents of such communities, we literally cut them and ourselves off from the past. 28 Connection to LU The houses in the subject neighborhood were spared from demolition in the 1960s because this part of town had a significant number of both white residents and Lincoln University employees. A number of the 2-story four-square houses on Lafayette Street were owned by LU professors, while LU employees occupied five houses on School Street in 1959.29 On the 400 block of Lafayette lived five LU employees, professors and the head of a department at LU, as well as Dr. R.G. Richardson, all but one living on the east side of the block. In the 500 block, which was largely razed for highway construction, there were no LU employees and only one doctor, Dr. W.A. Ross, whose house was retained. To fully understand how this neighborhood contributes to our community’s history, we must briefly consider how it relates to historical trends that are part of our nation’s history. National African American History. Our founding fathers put the issue of slavery aside, instead focusing on having all thirteen original English colonies join forces during the Revolutionary War. The problem grew, as more people were imported to be sold as slaves and as new generations were born into slavery. Opposition to slavery also grew, and Congress attempted to balance new states entering the union between “slave” and “free” states. Eventually legislators in southern states voted to secede from the union, and the Civil War was begun. After President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, slaves in states that had seceded were freed (this did not include Missouri), and all slaves were freed when the war ended. Southern states soon passed laws known as “Jim Crow laws” that enforced segregation and denied African-American people their rights, such as the right to vote. African-Americans moved from southern states to urban areas further north to escape such discrimination and groups such as the Ku Klux Klan that killed, terrorized and intimidated them. People in cities responded to this movement by using restrictive covenants that governed the sale of real estate, prohibiting owners from selling their property to anyone of the “Negro race.” In a case involving Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Shelley of St. Louis and Mr. and Mrs. Louis D. Kraemer, who had filed suit to have the 28 Kremer, “Black Historic Sites of Missouri,” p. 32 - 33. 29 Jefferson City Directory, Mullin-Kille Company of Missouri and New Day Press, 1959, p. 275 et. al.; Beetem interview with Glover Brown. Shelleys removed from the neighborhood for violating such restrictive covenants, the U.S. Supreme Court held in 1948 that these covenants were unconstitutional. This decision made housing discrimination illegal, but did not end housing discrimination.30 Starting in 1933, under federal New Deal programs, the federal government responded to a housing shortage during the Depression. This program was explicitly designed to increase — and segregate — America's housing stock. Author Richard Rothstein says the housing programs begun under the New Deal were tantamount to a "state-sponsored system of segregation." The government's efforts were "primarily designed to provide housing to white, middle-class, lower- middle-class families," he says. African-Americans and other people of color were left out of the new suburban communities — and pushed instead into urban housing projects. Rothstein's new book, The Color of Law, examines the local, state and federal housing policies that mandated segregation. He notes that the Federal Housing Administration, which was established in 1934, furthered the segregation efforts by refusing to insure mortgages in and near African-American neighborhoods — a policy known as "redlining." At the same time, the FHA was subsidizing builders who were mass-producing entire subdivisions for whites — with the requirement that none of the homes be sold to African-Americans.31 During the Civil Rights era in the 1950s and 1960s the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) that segregated educational facilities deprived African-American children of equal education opportunity. For years after the Brown decision, the struggle for equality continued, with African-Americans organizing protest marches and sit-ins to influence local practices. During this period Martin Luther King and John and Robert Kennedy were assassinated.32 33 A number of federal laws were passed in the 1960s to combat discrimination, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits employment discrimination; the Fair Housing Act of 1968 that prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits the denial or restriction of the right to vote.34 Jefferson City Follows National Trends Jefferson City was not immune to these national trends. In the 1960s, the City Council and various boards and commissions held hearings to discuss segregation in housing. During these hearings, several realtors were called as witnesses, and stated that they would not show African- Americans houses west of Jackson St. or north of E. McCarty St., for fear of losing business with white home owners. LU students explained the difficulties of obtaining off-campus housing, as 30 “Lawsuit ended ‘restrictive covenants’ that prohibited property sales to blacks,” Gary Kremer, The Statesman, Feb. 2000, 31 A 'Forgotten History' Of How The U.S. Government Segregated America; Broadcast on NPR’s ”Fresh Air,” May 3, 2017.

At about the same time that Apollo 11 made the first successful walk on the moon, Highway Patrol members wearing helmets worked to achieve calm during a period of unrest, demonstrations, violence, and arson at Lincoln University, as shown in the photo below.35 Also during the 1960s, urban renewal projects throughout the nation removed many low-income and/or African-American neighborhoods to allow development of interstate highways and for the purpose of “slum clearance.” Jefferson City was part of this movement, with several urban renewal efforts removing older buildings in the downtown area, in the African-American community, and west of the State Capitol – the area known as the “Millbottom.” These projects begain in the 1950s and ended in the 1980s. The term “urban renewal” began to have a negative connotation. After the 1980s, city government and the Jefferson City Housing Authority purchased smaller numbers of buildings that were deteriorated, usually one or two at a time, and demolishing them. Some of the Housing Authority’s buildings were purchased and rehabilitated, such as the Jefferson Female Seminary in the 400 block of State St., the house at 505 State St. and the offices of Architects Alliance on W. Main St.. A number of houses were demolished by the city to make way for construction of new homes by Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit housing organization. Others cleared the way for city facilities or remain as vacant lots. 35 Jefferson City Post Tribune, July 21, 1969, p. 2.

Where did Jefferson City’s African-American residents live? Beginning around the 1850s, a couple of free African-American women bought property in the area where E. Miller and Cherry St. cross. In-lot 760 was purchased in 1855 by an African- American woman named Martha King. Sarah Bolton purchased In-Lots 643/644 in August,1863. According to historian Gary Kremer, this “nucleus of a black community” emerged around the King and Bolton properties.36 African-Americans poured into Jefferson City during the last years of the Civil War, to be under the protection of the Union troops who controlled the town.37 Following the war most of the city’s African-American population lived in the downtown area, many on what was known as “Hog Alley.” Seventy-six African-Americans lived along this alley which stretched from Adams Street to Madison, between High and Main (now Capitol Avenue),38 where hogs were allowed to roam free in search of garbage to eat. There were also heavy concentrations of African- Americans near the African-American churches, in the 400 and 500 blocks of East Miller (a total of 45) and the 400 blocks of Adams and McCarty Streets. The 300 block of East Miller (the block immediately east of the Second Baptist Church) had 46 African-Americans.39 In 1882, three young African-American children from the same family died within a few days of each other, resulting in panic spreading throughout the city. Health care during this period was what we would consider primitive, and the fear of communicable diseases was a strong motivator. Frightened residents drove all of the African-American families from their homes downtown, and boarded up the buildings to prohibit their return. Callaway County residents threatened violence if any of these families attempted to cross the Missouri River. The coroner determined the children had died from ingestion of a “corrosive substance” rather than smallpox or other disease. But residents became determined to remove all African-American families from Hog Alley. 40 Most African-American men (and some women) worked for people or businesses located downtown at this time, so finding housing nearby was critical. African-American institutions, such as Second Baptist Church, were located on the fringe of downtown, so African-American people wanted to stay within walking distance of these establishments. Second Baptist Church was, and is still today, located at the corner of E. Miller and Monroe Streets, in the third building erected on the site since 1865. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, or A.M.E., was located at Madison and E. Miller Streets, then in 1894 some of that congregation formed the A.M.E. Zion Church and built a new church at 512 Madison. Education for African-American children began in the old schoolhouse on Hobo Hill, now the location of Simonsen 9th Grade School, then in 1874 the school moved to the “Old German-English Building” in the 200 block of W. 36 Carolyn Bening, “Yesterday & Today,” Historic City of Jefferson newsletter, “This Place Mattered – 501 Cherry Street,” Aug. 2017, p. 4. 37 Dr. Gary Kremer, “Yesterday & Today,” Historic City of Jefferson newsletter, 2/2013, recap of Kremer presentation, p. 4. 38 Kremer, “Black Historic Sites of Missouri,” p. 37. 39 Ibid. 40 Gary Kremer, “City’s black population once lived,…” News Tribune, Jefferson City, 12/5/1999. McCarty St.. This school was renamed the Washington School in 1891, then a new school of the same name was built between Lafayette and Cherry Streets on Elm Street in 1903.41 Lincoln Institute was established on Dunklin and Lafayette Streets in 1871.42 According to Gary Kremer, the turn of the century saw an emerging African-American population of free African-Americans and ex-slaves concentrated in the 800 blocks of Miller and Elm Streets and the 500 and 600 blocks of Cherry and Chestnut Streets.43 This small but vibrant neighborhood was anchored by Gensky’s Grocery Store (now listed on the National Register of Historic Places) and the New Hope African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church at 728 E. Miller. In the 1950s, Gensky’s was bought by an African American fraternal organization who in 1966 rented the lower level to Dr. Charles W. Cooper, a African-American physician. In 1982, the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) studied the stone house at 501 Cherry, purchased in 1867 by Martha King. The quality of the stonework suggested the use of unskilled prison labor - the only other documented inmate-constructed limestone structure in Jefferson City was the 1840 old city jail, demolished in 1982. In 1872 Hiram Brooks purchased the home at a time when few other African-American-owned structures existed in the vicinity, making it the earliest extant African-American-owned structure in Jefferson City at the time of the study. The War Department’s 1863 General Order No. 143 authorized Union enlistment of African-American troops to ensure full citizenship. Hiram enlisted with the Union forces in 1864, serving with Missouri’s 62nd regiment of the United States Colored Infantry, receiving personal freedom and some monetary aid. Private Hiram and others in the 62nd founded Lincoln Institute, now Lincoln University, as they wanted to continue the education they had acquired while in the service. The presence of African-American institutions, including Lincoln Institute at Dunklin and Lafayette Streets, and long-standing ownership of property in the area by African-American residents encouraged other African-American residents to move to the southeast corner of the city. This demographic shift is shown in the 1900 City Directory. There are 546 specific addresses listed for African-Americans in the city; 316 of those addresses (or nearly 58%) are south of McCarty and east of Adams. The heaviest concentrations of African-Americans, outside of Lincoln Institute students and faculty members living on campus, were in the 800 block of East Elm (12), the 700 block of Locust (25), and the 600 block of Lafayette (15).44 The existence of Wears Creek (which flooded fairly frequently at that time) probably aided in movement of African-American residents to this area, as land near the creek would have been less desired by white buyers and therefore less expensive to purchase, plus the prior existence of African- Americans in this area made such movement more palatable to the surrounding community.45 It 41 Gary Kremer, “City’s black population once lived,…” News Tribune, Jefferson City, 12/5/1999. 42 Brooks, June 18, 2016. 43 Kremer, “Black Historic Sites of Missouri.” 44 Kremer, “Black Historic Sites in Missouri,” p. 38. 45 Ibid. should be noted that in the 1960s the city did not extend much past Clark Avenue south of Highway 50 at that time. Lafayette Street did not extend south past Franklin St.46 James Ford quoted Julius H. Conrath in his History of Jefferson City, describing the physical location of the city’s African-American community as living in the 1870s and 1880s “[e]ast of Adams and south of McCarty Street”.47 In an interview by the author with Glover Brown, he described the African-American community “east of Jackson Street and south of McCarty Street.”48 A news article from the 1960s reporting on a hearing regarding the practice of redlining, or refusing to sell or rent to African-American people, confirmed Jackson Street as the dividing line.49 A study by the author of the Jefferson City 1920 Census records confirms that the majority of African-American residents lived east of Jackson Street, with several residents located near churches on E. Miller near Madison Street, primarily in the 400 and 500 blocks of E. McCarty and the 300 and 400 blocks of E. Miller St., located close to Wears Creek. There were a number of African-American residents who lived with their employers, and were scattered throughout the community, as well as a handful of African- American farmers who lived in the county.50 In 1982, Gary Kremer described the most heavily-populated African-American section of Jefferson City as the area bounded by McCarty street on the north, Adams on the west, Clark Avenue on the east, and Leslie Blvd. on the south.51 As important as where African-Americans lived in Jefferson City was how they lived, and the quality of housing available to them. In the early 1920s, a housing survey done by the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission reported that housing conditions for African-Americans were deplorable. The report emphasized: 46 Jefferson City Chamber of Commerce, “Progressive Jefferson City,” 193?, Plate I; Beetem interview with Glover Brown. 47 James E.

Early map of Jefferson City (circa 1930s), showing city limits near Clark Ave. on the east, Franklin St. on the south. Only 89 of the houses are located on the streets. The majority are either built in the rear of the lot, in alleys or on back streets, where it is almost impossible to reach them in rainy weather, because of the unpaved muddy streets • • •• Those houses with three rooms or less number 172. • • . Eighty per cent of the homes are without water in them and the water must be furnished by wells and cisterns. The reason that their housing was so poor, according to the Industrial Commission, was that job opportunities for African- Americans were severely limited, making it extremely difficult for African-Americans to accumulate the capital necessary to become property owners.52 As shown in the map at right, the size of the lots between Marshall and Lafayette along Maple Street and between Dunklin and McCarty Streets east of Cherry is quite small. This would have allowed construction of a densely populated neighborhood, with less expensive homes in these areas. Not surprisingly, much of these areas were demolished as part of urban renewal in the 1960s. The Sanborn Maps of 1908 do not fully cover the neighborhood, but in the small area depicted there are clearly two vacant frame dwellings at the rear of lots facing Elm St. between Lafayette and Cherry.53 In studying the 1920 census data, it was striking the number of times African- Americans answered “unknown” to the question “Do you own or rent your home?” (approximately 30). 54 This could indicate they had constructed some form of housing with permission of the lot’s owner, were allowed to live in a small dwelling by the owner, perhaps in exchange for odd jobs, or they were squatters. Apparently, this was not too uncommon, as the graph below shows that 2% of those surveyed in Jefferson City in the 1930s were unsure whether they rented or owned their residence.55 52 Ibid, p. 46. 53 Sanborn Map of Jefferson City, Feb. 1908, p. 1, University of Missouri website, accessed Aug. 26, 2017. 54 Study of 1920 Census Data for Jefferson City, Jane Beetem. 55 Jefferson City Chamber of Commerce, “Progressive Jefferson City,” 193?, Plate IV. Map of Jefferson City showing densely concentrated housing in the areas targeted by urban renewal, primarily E. Elm and Maple Streets. . Segregation As the twentieth century progressed, racial segregation further isolated the African- American community. Although no state laws prohibited integration in restaurants, bars, hotels and swimming pools, integration was prohibited by local custom. To serve the African-American community’s needs, a African-American-owned business community developed on Lafayette Street, known for many years as “The Foot,” as in the “foot” of the steep hill on E. Dunklin St.. A number of African-American-owned businesses located primarily on the 600 block of Lafayette St. included the Booker T. Hotel, Norman’s Laundry, Pat’s Shine Parlor, Turner’s Service Station, the Tops Bar, Leona’s Café and Acme Cleaners, among others.56 The Foot was home to the self-proclaimed “Color Boys,” well-known LU professors Lorenzo Greene and Cecil Blue. African-American visitors to Jefferson City could stay in the Foot at the Booker T. Washington Hotel at 602 Lafayette and eat at the Green Onion. The Negro Motorist Green Book, first published in 1936, listed in its 1946 edition 15 Jefferson City businesses that welcomed African- American customers, and all but three were located within three blocks of the Foot.57 Customers of these businesses lived within walking distance of The Foot, housed within a few blocks in the southeast corner of the city. Some of these customers may have been doctors or professors at Lincoln University (LU) who held PhDs from prestigious universities, yet could not be served anywhere else in the community. From the 1920s, when the first African-American legislators were elected to the Missouri legislature, these elected officials stayed and dined on the campus of Lincoln University because there were no hotels or restaurants open to them in downtown Jefferson City. Jefferson City’s African-American population and the number of businesses that served this population were larger than many towns in Missouri, even those with a larger total population. Jefferson City’s population in 1940 was approximately 24,270, yet in the 1946 Green Book it had 15 businesses open to African-American customers. Compare this to St. Joseph, population 75,711 (one Green Book listing) or Springfield, population 61,238 (one Green Book listing). Sedalia, population 20,428, had three Green Book listings, while Hannibal, population 20,865, had only one.58 56 Michelle Brooks, News Tribune, June 18, 2016, http://www.newstribune.com/news/local/story/2016/jun/18/preserving-foot/627847/, accessed Aug. 25, 2017. 57 Toni Prawl, “Yesterday & Today,” Historic City of Jefferson newsletter, “Jefferson City’s Lafayette Street: Corridor of Social Conscience.” Feb. 2015, p. 10. 58 Ibid. Dr. Kremer has explained that the “history of the Foot could not be told separately from the story of where and why African-American residents have lived in Jefferson City, nor without the backdrop of Lincoln University.”59 At the close of the Civil War, soldiers and officers of the 62nd United States Colored Infantry took steps to establish an educational institution in Jefferson City, Missouri, which they named Lincoln Institute. The school was intended to educate freed African-Americans. The school began in the old schoolhouse on Hobo Hill in 1866 and moved to the present campus in 1871. Lincoln Institute formally became a state institution in 1879 with the deeding of the property to the state. Under the second Morrill Act of 1890, Lincoln became a land grant institution, and the following year industrial and agricultural courses were added to the curriculum.60 In 1921, the Missouri Legislature passed a bill introduced by Walthall M. Moore, the first African- American to serve in that body, which changed the name from Lincoln Institute to Lincoln University and created a Board of Curators to govern the University.61 During this time there was pressure on the University of Missouri to enroll African- American students, which the university and the state legislature resisted. So state funding for Lincoln University was provided at the time of the name change, which allowed President Nathan B. Young to recruit professors from ivy-league colleges and universities, including Sterling Brown and Cecil Blue from Harvard. Later, he brought aboard Lorenzo Greene from Columbia University and Oliver Cromwell Cox from the University of Chicago. Others joined the faculty, including distinguished writers and poets, earning LU the nickname “Black Harvard of the Midwest.”62 One interesting note about this section of town is that the segregation was never 100%, as it was not terribly unusual to find an African-American person living on a street or block otherwise occupied entirely by whites. Even more common was to find African-Americans and whites living on blocks, or one side of a block, that housed only members of their own race, while across the street or around the corner would be houses occupied by members of another race. So while the southeast section of Jefferson City was considered racially segregated, it still contained some all-white streets or blocks. Concentration of African-Americans into the area demolished as part of the Capitol View Urban Renewal Project started around 1900 and accelerated in the 59 Dr. Kremer, Historic City of Jefferson Newsletter Feb. 2013, p. 4. 60 The Soldiers’ Dream Continued: A Pictoral History of Lincoln University of Missouri, Antonio F. Holland, et.al. (Jefferson City: Lincoln University, 1991.) 61 “Our History,” accessed on Lincoln University website on Aug. 26, 2017 , https://www.lincolnu.edu/web/about- lincoln/our-history. 62 Kremer?( Circa 1900 view of Lincoln University, Charles Opel, architect. (Summers Collection, Missouri State Archives) late 1930s and early 1940s. Increased segregation occurred during and after the Great Depression, so by the 1960s this was still a fairly recent phenomenon.63 Gowns vs. Towns Tension developed between the African-American academics at Lincoln University and the “town blacks” who had built the business community at the Foot, with a segregationist white community surrounding and opposed to both groups. From the graph below, it is clear that the African-American community was vastly outnumbered by the white community.64 While white doctors could buy or build a house anywhere they wanted, African- American doctors and highly educated academics were restricted to houses within the African-American community. As more funding became available for Lincoln Institute in the early 1920s through the 1940s, Lincoln University presidents tried to attract better qualified instructors by improving salaries at the school. The result was the emergence of a well-educated, financially-better-off, class of professional African- Americans who could afford to buy houses which other Jefferson City African-Americans could not afford.65 It was no accident, then, that the African-Americans who bought a number of the more attractive 2-story houses on Lafayette, for example, or built houses on E. Dunklin directly across from the university were Lincoln University professors who made their purchases in the late thirties and early forties. A number of LU professors bought houses in the 400 and 500 blocks of Lafayette. These stately four-square houses were owned by Cecil Blue, Chester Himes, James Seeney, Marcia Hammons, Lorenzo Greene, Sterling Brown, A.T. Busby and others.66 In 1959, three LU employees shared a house at 408 Lafayette: A.S. Pride, a department head at LU, Eugene Harmes, a professor and M.S. Lusk, an administrative clerk at Lincoln. Dr. R.G. Richardson lived and had his doctor’s office at 421 Lafayette in 1959. 67 Dr. W. A. Ross owned the house at 500 Lafayette, where he practiced medicine for 53 years. Dr. Ross also served as the Director of Health Services at LU from 1960 to 1982, marched in the historic march from Selma to Montgomery in 1962 and served as President of the local NAACP chapter for 35 years. Dr. Ross passed away in 2007, 68 and the house is now for sale. There was a clear divide between the LU professors, seen by local African-Americans as “well- educated outsiders” who moved to Jefferson City to teach at the “black Harvard of the Midwest” 63 Kremer, “Black Historic Sites of Missouri,” p. 45 – 46. 64 Jefferson City Chamber of Commerce, “Progressive Jefferson City,” 193?, Plate III. 65 Kremer, “Black Historic Sites of Missouri,” p. 47. 66 “Yesterday & Today,” Carolyn Bening, Aug. 2017 p. 4. 67 Mullin-Kille et.al., 1959 city directory, p. 234, 275 et. al. 68 Findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page+gr&Grid+65633363, accessed 8/25/17. and those who were working class, whose ancestors had lived in the area for generations and built their businesses in the Foot to serve the African-American community.69 While close proximity to LU certainly aided these businesses’ prosperity, descendants of the business owners and operators believe it was the established African-American community that attracted and helped sustain the University. For example, Glover Brown, whose parents had a restaurant on Lafayette for four decades, commented, “I’ve heard it said that Lincoln University is an anchor in this community, but I must point out the black community was here long before Lincoln University existed.”70 Urban Renewal Urban planners ignored the psychological and social worth of these buildings to the African- American community. No one ever asked the African-American residents of the community what buildings they thought important, much less tried to understand the role these buildings had played in their lives.71 Now, over fifty years later, elderly members of the African-American community still harbor resentments regarding the loss of the Foot, and an entire generation of African-American Jefferson Citians have grown up without any appreciation of what pre-urban renewal African-American community life was like. Into the 1980s, urban renewal officials tersely asserted that there were no buildings of any historical import destroyed during urban renewal.72 Besides Dr. Ross, the rest of the 500 block of Lafayette had no Lincoln employees or doctors in 1959, and much of this block was removed, leaving only the four identical Craftsman houses that included the Monastery and Dr. Ross’ house (the Craftsman houses were recently removed). Of the four blocks surveyed by Gary Kremer in 1982, the ones with the oldest and largest concentration of African-Americans experienced the most extensive destruction of its buildings in the 1960s. Not one building remains on the 800 block of Elm Street, a dense residential area, or the 600 block of Lafayette Street, the city's most important African-American commercial area. Conversely, the area which was almost untouched by urban renewal was a block which remained partly white until the very recent past.

The front facing gable roof has asphalt shingles; the foundation is concrete or concrete covered. The central entrance is flanked by a pair of windows to the east and a single window to the west. A full-façade shed roof porch features stucco corner piers and pedestals framing the entrance bay with a closed stucco balustrade. A pair of 4/1 double-hung window sash are centered in the front facing gable. Angular brackets at the ends and center of the eaves exhibit the Craftsman influence in this house. Original light fixtures flank the main entrance. (C-1) 3. 608 E. McCarty St. (1915): The 2-story Four Square house has a pyramidal hipped roof covered with asphalt shingles, a limestone foundation and red brick walls featuring dark mortar. A transom with segmental brick arch tops the entry door located to the west of the front façade. The full-width front porch has a low hipped roof, denticulated cornice and three Doric columns set on brick pedestals with concrete caps. The porch also features a simple wood balustrade and two full-height engaged columns against the front of the house.

These upper windows have double rowlock segmental brick arches that are partially obstructed by the smooth wood cornice. (C-1) 4. 610 E. McCarty St. (1915): This 2 ½-story duplex has a pyramidal hipped roof with asphalt shingles, red brick walls and a concrete foundation. A Four-Square type house, it has a flat-roofed 1-story front porch with brick columns that extend above the roof to create a modern second floor terrace. The brick of the porch columns differs from the brick walls of the house, so may have replaced earlier columns, but these are still considered historic as they’re likely over 50 years old. The porch has a solid brick railing and a concrete deck. There are double historic entries with transoms on the west of the front façade, with a wide 1/1 double-hung sash window topped by double rowlock segmental arch on the east side. On the second floor there is a blocked doorway on the right side and a 1/1 sash window on the east side, directly over the first floor window. The roof is decorated with a narrow denticulated cornice and a centrally located dormer window with a denticulated frieze and a pair of single light windows. A historic frame 2- story sleeping porch is located at the rear. There is a shed at the rear of the house. A single car garage with a gable roof and corrugated metal siding with a carport wing extends to the east property line, and is contributing to the district. (C-2) 5. 612 E. McCarty St. (1893): A rectangular shaped 1 ½-story brick house with Queen Anne influences, a pyramidal hipped asphalt shingle roof and a limestone foundation. The brick walls are painted brown, and the walls have narrow mortar joints. The 1-story porch is the most distinctive feature, with a flat roof having a full wood entablature and denticulated cornice, supported by three Doric columns. The porch extends forward on the east side, with a simple wood balustrade that follows the roofline above. A steep gabled dormer faces front, with a round arched single light window and double rowlock segmental brick arch. More gable wall dormers are found on the side elevation. This house has a garden to the east, where 614 E. McCarty once stood. The lot is included in the historic district, so that the design guidelines will apply to any new construction. (C- 1) 6. Vacant lot adjacent to 612 E. McCarty St.. 7. 616 E. McCarty St. (1905): The Colonial Revival style influenced this 2½-story house, with its pyramidal hip roof covered in asphalt shingles, brick walls and concrete foundation. The nearly full-width front porch is at grade and has a wide frieze, dentilated cornice, three wood Doric columns and a turned wood balustrade. The entrance, located on the east side, has a transom. To the right of the entrance is a wide 1/1 double-hung sash window with a smooth concrete lintel. While the side windows have double rowlock segmental brick arches, there are no arches over the second floor front windows, or they are covered by the smooth wood cornice. The front facing gable has a central window that is blocked, surrounded by horizontal siding. (C-1) 8. 618 E. McCarty St. (1915): This Four-Square house is 2 ½ stories, having darker brick in a running bond with narrow white mortar joints on the front façade. The side elevations are set in 7 course common bond, using brick of an orangish color with grey mortar. The nearly full-width front porch has a wide wood frieze, brick corner piers, pedestals framing the front entrance and a solid brick railing, all with concrete caps. The entry is located on the west side, by a short window. The east side has a wide 1/1 double-hung sash window. There are two 1/1 double-hung windows on the second floor with rock faced stone sills topped by a wood frieze. A hip roof dormer centered on the front façade has a pair of 2-light windows. A newer single car garage sided with horizontal siding, modern garage door and gutters is accessible from the alley in the rear. (C-1) 9. 620 E. McCarty St. (1915): A 2-story Four Square house with brick 7 course common bond brick walls, the house has a pyramidal hip roof covered in asphalt shingles and a limestone foundation. The full-width front porch has painted brick corner piers, a slim support east of the entryway and a concrete deck one step above grade. Double entry doors on the west side of the front façade have a blind transom over the door furthest to the east. There is a wide 1/1 double-hung window on the left of the first floor. The second floor has two 1/1 double-hung windows with smooth stone lintels and rock-faced stone sills. Unlike other houses on this block, this house has wide overhanging eaves. A 2-story frame porch at the rear has stairs to the enclosed second floor. (C-1) 10. 622 E. McCarty St. (1910): This 1-story square pyramidal cottage has a pyramidal roof with asphalt shingles, red brick walls and a limestone foundation. The entrance is on the west side of the front façade, with a 1/1 double-hung window on the east, having a stone lintel and rock-faced sill. The central 1-story porch covers the entry and window with a hip roof and dentil details on a wide cornice. The porch roof is supported by modern metal posts, with a concrete deck one step above grade and no railing. A gable roof dormer features wood shingles and a wide central 1-light window. (C-1) 11. 624 E. McCarty St. (1900): A 2 ½-story multi-family structure with a hip roof and asphalt shingles, red brick walls and a limestone foundation. The largest structure in the district, this building has entrances in the second and fifth bays topped by 1-light transoms and surrounded by “Classical Revival” fluted pilastered surrounds. The nearly full-façade 2- story modern portico with plain wood posts is monumental in scale. All windows on the front façade are 1/1 sash, on both the first and second floors, with smooth concrete lintels and sills. Second story windows line up with the first floor windows below. Two gable roof dormers feature fish-scale shingles, each having a round arched 1-light window in the center. This highly visible building is on a corner lot at E. McCarty and Lafayette Streets. (C-1) 12. 411 Lafayette St. (1910): One of three nearly identical Four-Square houses on the east side of the 400 block of Lafayette St., this square 2 ½ story brick house features a pyramidal hip roof with asphalt shingles and a limestone foundation. The hip roof has a dormer with a pair of 6-light windows. The entrance is located on the south side, with a small elevated 1/1 sash further south. The wide 1/1 sash to the north has a broad lintel, topped by two evenly spaced 1/1 windows on the second level. The upper level windows are topped by a cornice and have rock-faced limestone sills. The wide cornice band is continuous. The 1-story front porch has brick piers, slim Doric columns and a plain wood balustrade, with the space below enclosed in historic (square openings) lattice. This house is located adjacent to an alley on the south. (C-1) 13. 409 Lafayette St. (1910): Another Four-Square type 2 ½-story brick house with a pyramidal hip roof, asphalt shingles and a limestone foundation. This is the middle house in a row of three nearly identical houses. Like 411 Lafayette, the entrance is off-center to the south with an elevated small 1/1 double-hung window at the south end.

I. Guidelines for Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings The guidelines shall apply to exterior rehabilitation work only. A. General Objectives 1. Rehabilitation work should maintain and be consistent with the historic architectural styles, date/period and detailing of the structure. 2. Rehabilitation work which is intended to enhance or return the structure to its original historic appearance should be based upon historic, physical, or pictorial evidence, rather than on conjectural designs. Work that has no historical basis and which seeks to create a different appearance is discouraged. 3. Work should first attempt to repair and maintain the existing elements of the structure, whenever reasonably possible. In the event replacement of details and materials is necessary, when possible, these elements should match the elements being replaced in size, shape, materials, pattern, texture and directional orientation of installation. B. Building Wall Material Requirements 1. Existing wall materials and details shall be retained through repair and maintenance, unless deteriorated beyond reasonable repair. 2. When replacement of existing materials and details is required, the new materials shall be similar in appearance, maintaining the original materials in size, shape, pattern, texture and directional orientation on installation. 3. Masonry walls shall maintain their present or original appearance. Paint may be removed from masonry surfaces to return to the original appearance. The painting of, or the removal of paint, from a masonry surface shall be done only if necessary to preserve deteriorating masonry surfaces and the historic integrity of the structure. To 2 prevent damage, masonry shall be cleaned by the gentlest means possible. Abrasive cleaning methods, such as sandblasting using sand, shall be avoided. 4. The use of steel, aluminum, manufactured board or vinyl siding as a replacement material for primary walls is discouraged, but may be acceptable if these materials maintain the character of the structure and the original siding shape, pattern, texture and directional orientation. Character defining details and elements such as, but not limited to, window/door trim and detailing, eave brackets, porch columns and railings, and other special elements and details which give the structure its character and appearance, shall be retained when applying steel, aluminum, or vinyl siding. Rear additions, which are often covered with a different siding than the primary structure’s walls, should use a replacement siding that most closely maintains the character of the structure and the original siding shape, pattern, texture and directional orientation. Character defining details should be retained when removing or applying siding materials. C. Requirements for Windows and Doors 1. Existing windows and doors, their glazing, trim, and the character defining elements shall be retained through repair when reasonably possible. 2. Existing window and door locations shall be retained, not removed, covered or filled in, unless necessary for flood-proofing a structure. 3. Repair of original windows and doors is the preferred option in this historic district. Replacement windows and doors shall be similar in sash design and appearance, maintaining the original size, shape, muntin pattern and size, glazing area and tint, and placement location. Windows and doors on a wall facing a street shall be the primary consideration in review of building permit applications, and shall most closely replicate the originals. Vinyl, vinyl wrapped, or other lower quality windows and doors on walls facing a street shall be discouraged. Windows and doors on rear additions or on walls not facing a street shall maintain the original size, shape, muntin pattern, glazing area and tint, but may be of a different material than the originals (ex.: vinyl wrapped or metal windows may be allowed). 4. Replacement windows having thermal and maintenance reducing qualities may be used, but shall maintain those appearance and character defining elements described above. Ex: laminated glass with a clear low-E coating or double pane windows may be used. 3 5. New window and door openings shall maintain the building’s façade proportions and rhythms, and shall match the existing window and door design. Where the building code requires egress, larger windows may replace original small windows so long as they are compatible in style with the original windows. Every effort, however, shall be made to place replacement egress windows on secondary or rear elevations. 6. Replacement trim materials shall be similar in appearance, maintaining the original materials’ size, shape, pattern, texture and detailing. 7. Window features and accessories, such as storm windows, screens, awnings, and shutters shall maintain the appearance of the main window and the building’s façade proportions and rhythms. 8. Door features and accessories, such as storm doors, screens, sidelights, and transoms shall maintain the appearance of the main door and the building’s façade proportions and rhythms. Original transoms and sidelights may not be covered or boarded. D. Requirements for Roofs 1. Roof forms and architectural features such as, but not limited to, dormers, chimneys, overhangs, eaves, eave brackets or lookouts, and fascia, which give the roof its essential character, shall be retained through repair when reasonably possible. 2. Replacement materials shall maintain the original materials’ size, shape, pattern, texture and directional orientation of installation when reasonable possible. If a roof has standard tab asphalt shingles, the same type of replacement shingles should be used. If architectural shingles have been used on a roof, architectural shingles may be used as a replacement, even if this would not have been the original roof style. E. Requirements for Porches 1. Existing porches and their architectural elements such as, but not limited to railings, columns, brackets and steps shall be retained through repair. Addition of wood epoxy to make small repairs to damaged elements shall be allowed. Wooden porch elements shall be painted. 2. Should one or more of these elements be deteriorated enough to warrant replacement, replacement materials shall maintain the original materials’ size, shape, pattern, texture and directional orientation or installation. Treated wood may be used for replacement of porch elements, but must be painted after being allowed to weather for a period of at least six months, not exceeding 12 months. 4 F. Requirements for Engineering Systems: Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing 1. Engineering systems and their associated elements such as, but not limited to, air conditioning and heating units, flues, conduits, cables, electrical boxes, meters, ventilators, and lovers shall, when feasible, be placed on the side or rear facades of the structure. II. Guidelines for Additions to Existing Structures A. General Objectives 1. Additions should be located on side or rear facades where the character defining elements and visual appearance of the front façade of the structure will not be obscured, damaged or destroyed, when reasonably possible. 2. Additions to existing structures that are visible from the street should maintain and not detract from the appearance and character defining elements of the existing structure, their scale and proportions. 3. Additions should provide consistency and continuity through the use of similar forms, massing, rhythms, details, height, directional orientation of building, element lines and materials. 4. Vertical additions should maintain the established height of the structures along the same street. These additions shall maintain the established rhythms and proportions that are established by the lower portions of the structure and shall maintain the structure’s architectural integrity. 5. If possible, additions should be designed so that they can be removed in the future without damaging the existing building. B. Building Site Requirements 1. Additions shall maintain the building setba cks from the street and for side yards as defined by the other buildings along the same streets. When the setback pattern varies, the addition shall be maintained between the minimum and maximum setbacks that are defined by the other buildings along the same side of the street, established as follows: (a) Front yard setbacks shall be established by averaging the existing front yards along the street frontage in the same block and on the same side of the street; (b) Side and rear yard setbacks shall be as required by the Zoning Code. 5 2. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3 below, paving within the front yard shall be limited to primary driveways and sidewalks. The surface area of driveways and sidewalks shall not exceed 30% of the front yard lot area. Parking areas shall be located behind the front plane of the building in the side or rear yard or inner courtyards, except as provided for allowable parking lots as described in this section. 3. Allowable parking lots for land uses requiring ten (10) or more spaces may be located in the front yard provided the parking lot is a minimum of 30 feet from the front property/right-of-way line. Parking lots shall be screened from view along the front and side property lines with a perimeter strip containing a combination of medium - to-large canopy (deciduous) trees and evergreen trees, planted three (3) trees per 100 linear feet; plus a barrier feature such as a hedge, berm, fence, wall or combination of such features, with minimum height of three (3) feet. Up to ten percent (10%) of the length of a screen may be interrupted for access to the property, however, at least one driveway access shall be permitted for each development. All plants shall be selected from the Approved Planting List, on file in the Department of Planning and Code Enforcement. Parking lot design and landscaping shall comply with the provisions of the Zoning Code. 4. Addition of landscaping features such as, but not limited to, walls, fencing, lighting and planters shall be consistent with the appearance and general character of those same elements that exist along the same street and neighborhood. C. Requirements for Building Materials and Elements 1. Building materials shall create a visual consistency and continuity between the existing structure and the addition. This may be achieved, first, through the continued use of materials that are present on the existing structure or, secondly, through the use of different materials that maintain th e same scale, proportions, rhythms, and directional orientation as those present on the existing structure. 2. Building elements, their location, and the sight lines that they establish shall be continued to the addition to create a visual consistency and continuity. This may be achieved through maintaining such elements, details and building lines as the established height of windows and doors, the repetition of window glazing patterns, the continuance of the roof forms, eave lines and overhangs, the continu ance of special detailing present on the existing structure. 3. Design the foundation height and the eave lines of additions generally to align with those of the existing buildings, unless elevation of a structure is required for flood- 6 proofing. Interior floor-to-ceiling heights on the front elevation shall not be less than nine (9) feet, with a maximum story height of 12 feet. Additions to front facades shall have the appearance of having no more than two and one-half (2-1/2) stories and be limited to 35 feet in height. Where front setbacks greater than 35 feet are possible, the differential height. 4. For the purposes of this section, “building height” shall be the vertical distance from the grade within 10 feet of a building to the (a) highest point of a flat roof; (b) the dock line of a mansard roof; or (c) the average height between eaves and ridge for gable, hip, and gambrel roofs, as averaged from around the building. D. Requirements for Roofs 1. New roof features, such as dormers, may be added to the existin g roof, if such elements maintain the structure’s established rhythms, scale, proportions, and architectural appearance and character. 2. Roof forms on additions shall maintain the existing structure’s appearance and character through similar roof forms, slope and detailing. E. Requirements for Porches 1. Enclosure of porches and entries shall maintain the structure’s existing rhythms, scale, proportions, appearance and character. 2. When required to achieve access to the first floor level, handicapped ramps may be installed and shall be constructed so that in the future, the ramp may be removed without significantly altering the original structure. III. Guidelines for New Construction A. General Objectives 1. Designs for new construction need not duplicate existing styles within a district, but should draw upon common characteristics of structures in the approximate neighborhood to provide a continuity and consistency. Characteristics, such a s, but not limited to, porches, entries, roof slope and form, and window/door styles, maintain the continuity and consistency of new construction within the district. 2. New construction should respect the established area’s scale, proportions, rhythms, and relationships of both principal and accessory structures. 7 B. Building Site Requirements 1. Keep the orientation of the proposed building’s front elevation to the street consistent with the orientation of existing buildings’ front elevation to the street. 2. New secondary structures, such as detached garages, shall maintain the secondary relationship with the primary structure. 3. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4 below, paving within the front yard shall be limited to primary driveways and sidewalks. The surface of driveways and sidewalks shall not exceed 30% of the front yard lot area. Locate new parking areas as unobtrusively as possible behind the front plane of the building in the side or rear yard or inner courtyards, except as provided for allowable parking lots as described in this section. 4. Allowable parking lots for land uses requiring ten (10) or more spaces may be located in the front yard provided the parking lot is a minimum of 30 feet from the front property/right-of-way line and is screened from view along the front and side property lines with a perimeter strip containing a combination of medium -to-large canopy (deciduous) trees and evergreen trees, planted three (3) trees per 100 linear feet; plus a barrier feature such as a hedge, berm, fence, wall or combination of such features, with minimum height of three (3) feet. Up to ten percent (10%) of the length of a screen may be interrupted for access to the property, however, at least one driveway access shall be permitted for each development. All plants shall be selected from the Approved Planting List, on file in the Department of Planning and Code Enforcement. Parking lot design and landscaping shall comply with the provisions of the Zoning Code. 5. Use driveways and alleys to access side and rear parking areas and garages. Attached garages shall not be located on the front façade of a new building unless incorporated into the mass of the building, with the garage doors oriented to the side or rear. “Snout houses” where a garage projects form the front façade shall not be permitted. 6. For new parking areas, use paving material that is compatible with traditional paving materials for driveways in the district. Parking areas and driveways shall be designed in accordance with standards of the Department of Public Works. Acceptable paving materials include pavers, concrete, textured-concrete, aggregate, asphalt, and other paving material approved by the Department of Public works. Gravel shall not be utilized. 8 7. Existing large trees and other significant landscape features shall be incorporated into places for additions and new construction. Where existing trees and other significant landscape features cannot be retained, new trees and landscape features shall be incorporated into the plans and installed on the site. Outside of parking lot landscape areas, trees used to replace existing trees which must be removed shall have a minimum diameter/caliper of one and one-half inches (1-1/2”) measured six inches (6”) above the ground., 8. Existing historic site features such as retaining walls, gate posts and tree guards shall be retained, replaced in kind, or similar features incorporated in the design. 9. New landscaping features such as, but not limited to, walls, fencing, lighting, and planters, shall be consistent with the general character of those same elements that exist along the same street and approximate neighborhood. C. Requirements for Building Materials 1. Design the height of the proposed building to be compatible with the height of existing buildings in the School Street Historic District. Minimum setbacks for new construction shall be established by averaging the existing front yards along the street frontage in the same block and on the same side of the street; (b) Side and rear yards shall be as required by the Zoning Code. (a) Interior floor-to-ceiling heights on the front elevation shall not be less than nine (9) feet, with a maximum story height of 12 feet. (b) Except as provided in the Differential Height/Setback Schedule, new buildings constructed shall have the appearance from the front street line, of having no more than two and one-half (2-1/2) stories, and be limited to 35 feet in overall height. 2. Design the proportion (the ratio of the height to the width) of the proposed building’s front elevation to be compatible with the proportion of existing front elevations in the district. 3. Utilize new windows and doors that are compatible in proportion, shape, position, location, pattern, and size with windows and doors of existing structures in the district. On the facades visible from the front street line, individual window units shall not exceed 48 inches. Compatible groupings of dou ble hung windows are acceptable. The separation between individual windows in these groupings shall not be less than four (4) inches. Use of more than three (3) single window units in a grouping is not appropriate. New windows shall follow the traditional proportion of being taller than they are wide. 9 4. Keep the roof shape of the proposed building consistent with roof shapes in the district: gable and hip. Roof pitch shall be consistent with other existing structures in the district. 5. Keep the predominant material of the proposed building consistent with historic materials in the district: brick, stone, stucco, and wooden clapboard siding. Use of synthetic materials is discouraged, however synthetic materials may be substituted for historic materials if approved on a case by case basis. Synthetic materials shall be specifically identified and approved on an individual basis by t he Department of Planning and Code Enforcement. 6. Make the scale (the relationship of a building’s mass and details to the human figure) of the proposed building compatible with the scale of existing structures in the district. 7. Ensure that the architectural details of the proposed building complement the architectural details of existing structures in the district. 8. Contemporary construction that does not directly copy from historic buildings in the district but is compatible with them in height, proportion , roof shape, material, texture, scale, detail, and color, is strongly encouraged. 9. New single family structures shall maintain the traditional neighborhood scale. 10. New non-single family structures shall (a) include architectural details on the building facades visible from the street which complement the existing residential architecture in the district; and (b) shall be divided into smaller modules that are similar in size and scale to traditional single family houses in the district. 11. New non-single family structures with front building facades of 100 feet or more in width which are parallel with E. McCarty and Lafayette Streets or within 30 degrees of being parallel with this street shall incorporate the following design detail into the front building facades: (a) each module width shall not exceed 20 percent (20%) of the width of the front façade, and (b) each module shall be off-set from the front façade a minimum of five percent (5%) of the total width of the façade. 12. For the purposes of this section, “building height” shall be the vertical distance from the grade within ten (10) feet of the building to the (a) highest point of a flat roof; (b) the dock line of a mansard roof; or (c) the average height between eaves and ridge for gable, hip, and gambrel roofs, as averaged from around the building.

The information was provided from an appraisal that was completed by a local firm. Prior to Council approval, a determination was made that Governor Dalton did not reside at the property. Based on the error the bill was removed in order to correct the discrepancy. Therefore, the Landmark Designation Application will be reviewed once again by this Commission. Background Information: The property is located within the Moreau Drive Historic District as a contributing resource. In addition, according to the 1940 Census, John Caskie Collet, former Missouri Supreme Court Judge and United State Federal Judge resided at the property.

Homes in the area have been rehabed over the years w/limited transfers ever occuring. The subject is known as the "Dalton" house and has a history of Governor Dalton's family having numerous events there. The area markets well and the subject is typical of many of these homes. No adverse features were noted. SITE CONDITIONS Site extensively landscaped w/numerous mature trees, newer planting beds, flagstone, tie and concrete retaining walls. There is a shared drive at the side that leads to asphalted large patio/parking area. Shared drives are typical in the neighborhood and cause no detriment to value or marketability. No adverse features were noted. CONDITION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS Appraiser is not an expert in structural problems however, no unusual problems were noted from street inspection. Information obtained from appraisal dated in 1998. No changes were reported. ANALYSIS OF CURRENT AGREEMENT No sales within the last year noted for Subject or for comparables. No disclosure law in Missouri. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS INDICATED DEPARTURES This appraisal invokes the Departure Provision of USPAP with the respect to Sandards Rule 1-4a " value the site in an appropriate appraisal method or technique" and Standards 4B (i)(ii) "collect, verify and reconcile such cpmparable cost data as are available to estimate the cost new of the improvements ( if any); such comparable data as are available in regard to the differece between cost new and the depreciated value of the property. The site was not valued separately by prior arrangement and agreement with the client. The contributory value of the site was considered in the analysis of the sales and appropriate adjustments were made. The Cost Approach was not developed, despite this being an appropriate valuation technique with knowledge of the client. The Income Approach was not considered appropriate due to predominance of owner occupied properties in this price range and area. CONDITIONS OF THE REPORT This Limited Appraisal Departure Disclosure is part of the Limited Appraisal made according to the requirements and guildelines of USPAP as prepared by the Appraisaal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation. This departure is allowed under certain situations and guidelines. With regard to this assignment, the appraiser determined that this limited report would not be misleading or confusing to the client or other users of the report. The client has agreed that a limited appraisal would be appropriate in this instance. I am satisfied that the Limited Appraisal I performed would fit the specific guidelines from USPAP w/regard to departures. I have not performed a Complete Appraisal and I disclose this Limited Appraisal may be less reliable than a Complete Appraisal in summary form.
