routes in the early 20th century. The topography is hilly, with an elevation gain of more than a hundred
feet from the lowest point in the district to the highest. Almost all of the primary buildings within the
district are single family residences, set back from the street with a minimum 15' building line on lots
that average between about 47 feet wide (on the lower end of Moreland and Elmerine) to about 100'
wide (these wider lots are located at the southern end of Moreau Drive).
The building count in the district is as follows:
Of the 240 primary buildings constructed during the period of significance, only 7 have lost integrity and
are noncontributing. A few of the noncontributing houses (such as those at 909 Oakwood and 1110 Lee
Street) have lost integrity in part due to non -historic siding choices; these changes may be reversible.
The remaining noncontributing primary buildings were constructed after the period of significance.
There are few empty lots, and most if not all of these are historically empty side yards. Three
contributing sites are islands in Fairmount Boulevard and Fairmount Court; these were part of the
original plan for the Wagner Place subdivision. There is also one noncontributing object, a stone
monument marking the location of General Sterling Price's Civil War march in 1864. The monument
was erected just outside the district boundaries in 1933 and moved to its present location in 1954.
Geographical Description
The Moreau Drive neighborhood is a residential community in southeast Jefferson City. The district
boundary is irregular, with streets branching out from either side of Moreau Drive. Moreau Drive is a
section of the historic country road which led from Jefferson City to a crossing of the Moreau River.
The district begins where Moreau Drive originates at the intersection of Clark Avenue and East Atchison
Street. From this point, the boundary branches west to include Hillcrest Avenue, Fairmount Boulevard,
Fairmount Court, Oakwood Drive and Vineyard Square. East from Moreau Drive, the boundary
branches to include the first block of Lee Street, Elmerine Avenue, and the first block of Moreland
Avenue. Moreau Drive's termination at Hough Park Road marks the southern boundary of the district.

Surrounding Neighborhoods
To the south and east of the district are modern subdivisions developed after the period of significance.
To the northeast is a section of Jefferson City which is roughly contemporary with early developments in
the Moreau Drive district, but is platted on a grid. This section is typified by more modest houses than
those in the district, and the area suffers from loss of integrity and has many new infill houses. To the
northwest and west is Lincoln University, a historically African American university.
Physical characteristics
Although different styles and house types are represented over a long period of significance, the Moreau
Drive Historic District stands as a distinct entity characterized by winding streets, hilly topography,
common materials, property types (almost exclusively single family residences) and, with a few
exceptions, a consistent scale. In addition to the residences there is one educational building, the historic
Moreau Heights School (now the Moreau Montessori School). Bungalows and foursquares are the
dominant house forms in the area, demonstrating a mix of architectural styles. The residences within the
survey area are generally set back from the street; most of the lots were platted with setback lines
ranging from 15 feet through much of Wagner Place to 60 feet on Moreau Drive in Fairmount. In
sections without setback lines (including Virginia Place and Fairmount East), front yards are generally
comparable to those with 15' or 20' setbacks.
Few of the streets in this hilly neighborhood are perfectly flat. In cases where the street is fairly level
(running parallel to the contours of a hill), it is common for houses on one side to be significantly higher
or lower than those on the other. The neighborhood's growth was dependent on the automobile, and
most properties have driveways which lead to detached or basement garages (most of which are located
on side or rear elevations). For example, of the twenty Virginia Place houses facing Lee Street in 1939,
the Sanborn map indicates that nineteen had basement garages. This feature was made feasible by the
steep building sites, where a "basement" garage could actually be entered at grade from one side of the
house. In 1939, 13 houses on Oakwood had this feature, and two did not. The two without basement
garages were the two houses just east of Fairmount Blvd, where the terrain was flatter than the sites on
the other side.

Heights neighborhood survey by Michelle Diedriech and Rebecca Prater (on file at the State Historic
Preservation Office).1 Others, including the entirety of Lee Street, are original to this nomination.

1108 Moreau Drive (1NC)
c. 1956
Vernacular or property type: Ranch/Minimal Traditional
Ext. wall cladding: brick
Foundation material: Concrete
Roof material: Asphalt shingle
Roof type: side gable
This is a one-story brick residence with a side gable roof. The central bay is recessed and is utilized as a patio/porch area that
leads to the entrance. This bay has a large nine -light picture window with shingles beneath. The most distinctive characteristic
of this house is the wide chimney that projects from the exterior of the residence defining the first and second bays. It rises
well above the roof line and extends to the interior of the house, nearly to the apex of the roof. The furthermost left bays
contain paired 1/1 windows and a single 1/1 window. The first bay (right) has similar paired 1/1 windows. Due to its
construction date it is non-contributing.
1110 Moreau Drive (2C)
c. 1914
Vernacular or property type: bungalow
Ext. wall cladding: stone
Foundation material: stone
Roof material: Asphalt shingle
Roof type: hipped
This 1 '/2 story stone bungalow has what appears to be a full -width porch that has been in -filled with modern windows and
wood siding around the central entrance. The large openings at the first and third bays have vinyl casement windows. There
are paired multi -paned windows in the central bay to the right of the entrance. The vinyl -clad central dormer has three 1/1
windows which also appear to be vinyl replacements. While the building is obviously altered, the original design and
materials are easily identified and the building is still considered contributing.
Outbuilding: Behind the house is a large outbuilding that features a one -car garage and entry. It looks to be one -a -half stories
and has a cross gable roof, stone chimney and stucco -clad walls. According to the 1939 Sanborn map an outbuilding of this
size was in this location. It therefore is considered contributing to the district.
1111 Moreau Drive (1C/1NC)
c. 1930
Vernacular or property type: Foursquare
Ext. wall cladding: Brick
Foundation material: Concrete
Roof material: Asphalt Shingle
Roof type: Pyramidal
This red brick foursquare has a pyramidal roof and attached sunroom on the first floor. The fenestration is symmetrical and
consists of paired one over -one replacement vinyl windows on stone sills flanking the door on both floors. There little
detailing on this building other than some minor brick detailing over the window openings and the Classical pediment and
bracket hood over the door. The windows in the sunroom have been replaced with a band of three one -over -one vinyl
windows. The door also appears to be a replacement, despite these changes the property still reflects its original character and
is considered contributing to the district.
Outbuilding: The metal -clad gabled garage along the north end of the lot has a vehicular door facing south (NC).

Dear Ms. Burke,
Please find enclosed project documents for National Park Service (NPS) grant funded activities at the
Lincoln University School of Journalism located at Mitchell Hall. The property is located on the campus
of the Lincoln University, located at 820 Chestnut Street, Jefferson City, (Cole), Missouri. Constructed in
1942, the building is not yet listed but has been determined eligible for listing as it was the first purpose
built School of Journalism at a black university in the United States. The lawsuit of Ms. Lucille Bluford
pushed the state of Missouri to allow her to study as a journalism student, with the court ruling that rather
than allowing her to attend the state college, she would attend Lincoln University, a Historical Black
College and University (HBCU), and they must start a School of Journalism. The construction and use
thus had an important role in Missouri's determination to uphold the "separate, but equal" ruling of Plessy
v. Ferguson. It wasn't until 1967 that another HBCU would offer a Journalism department.
Lincoln University (HBCU) has applied for and been granted African American Civil Rights funding to
preserve and rehabilitate the exterior and interior of the building.
Mitchell Hall is a Federal Style, two-story brick building with a rectangular floor plan, symmetrical
facade and gable roof. The small building sits prominently at the main entrance to the Lincoln University
campus facing Dunklin Street to the North, Lafayette Street to the West. It no longer functions as the
School of Journalism, and presently houses the Marching Musical Storm Band. Few changes have been
made since a 1975 renovation, beyond accessibility concerns.
The Area of Potential Effect (APE) is the historic building and the surrounding HBCU campus. The
campus is located in the African-American neighborhood and business district known as "The Foot."
The approved summary of objectives and results to be performed with this grant award will be done in
accordance with The Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Historic Preservation and
Archeology, and based upon recommendations of a Campus Master Plan. Work includes exterior
envelope repairs; interior finish repairs; mechanical, electrical and plumbing repairs; general architectural
services and contracting fees. A mandatory requirement will be the production of a draft National
Register of Historic Places nomination or the property. NPS has requested that draft versions be sent to
the SHPO at 50 percent to allow for collaboration and public notice during the project.
The NPS hereby initiates consultation on the potential effects of this undertaking to historic resources in
accordance with 36 CFR 800. We are in receipt of the grantee's application, with supplemental
photographs and condition information. The design firm, Engine House No. 1 Design & Development,
has submitted plans, as well as a scope of work. At this time the grantee believes funding will be limited
to architectural services and exterior work. Should funding permit, other items will be added as noted
above, and we will be sure to inform your office.
The documents submitted by the applicant included plans entitled, "Lincoln University — Mitchell Hall
Renovation," by Engine House No. 1 (3/13/2018). The work as specified meets the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (rehabilitation) and will have No Adverse
effect to the individual building with the following conditions:
• Fresh air louvers at the west elevation will require consultation with MO SHPO and NPS as to
material selection and size.
• A draft nomination for the property must be prepared and submitted to MO SHPO and NPS at 50
percent completion.
We understand the applicant has previously shared the plans for the rehabilitation project with you, and
we therefore have only sent you the application and grant agreement for your files, in order to best
explain the Federal involvement in this project.
We have copied the Certified Local Government representative, and other relevant parties. Please inform
us if we have neglected to notify any other consulting parties or Indian Tribes with an interest in this
property.

goals of the project in 250 words.
The Lincoln University School of Journalism, located in Mitchell Hall, made an indelible mark on the
history of American journalism as well as the legacy of Civil Rights in this country. Constructed in
1942, this facility, while not yet listed on the National Register of Historic Places, played a vital role for
its significance related to Missouri's determination to uphold the "separate, but equal" ruling of Plessy
v. Ferguson. Unfortunately, due to hard economic times and continued deferred maintenance,
Mitchell Hall is in dire need of preservation and rehabilitation. Exterior and interior repairs are needed
to prevent further deterioration of this important facility and restore materials to retain the property's
historic character. Project goals for exterior work include repair of slate roof, brick tuckpointing,
foundation repairs, window repairs, exterior painting, copper gutter repairs/replacement, storm and
sewer line repairs. Goals for interior work include removal of VCT flooring and carpeting and
restore/refinish wood floors, restore wood base and picture molding, refinish wood doors and trim, and
remove mold and interior surfaces ruined by water infiltration at foundation and leaking windows.
Mitchell Hall sits at a prominent location at the main entrance to the University and is an important
campus asset. The goal of equal opportunity for all citizens is yet to be met; but with historic buildings
such as Mitchell Hall and with use of this grant funding, Mitchell Hall can be preserved and will serve
as a source of inspiration in order for this goal to become a reality.

Significance:
The Lincoln University School of Journalism has made an indelible mark on the history of American
journalism as well as the legacy of Civil Rights in this country. Until 1942, Journalism Schools at HBCUs
were not in existence and opportunities for African Americans to receive Journalism degrees were few.
Many schools outright barred blacks from attending and others set their standards so high for African
Americans that attendance was not a viable option for the vast majority. The Plessy v. Ferguson decision
of 1896 by the US Supreme Court declared that "separate but equal" segregation would be the status quo,
and for the next 58 years it was. Institutions were obviously separate but they were undeniably not equal.
During this time, the Civil Rights movement in the United States, led by organizations such as the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), strove to find equality in employment,
voting, housing and most notably, education. The Lincoln University School of Journalism housed in
Mitchell Hall played a pivotal role in this fight, most notably as a test case for the Brown v. Board of
Education of Topeka, Kansas legal proceedings.
In 1942, the state of Missouri established a School of Journalism at Lincoln University in Jefferson City to
serve the state's black citizenry and funding was provided to erect a journalism building. Lincoln University
became the first black university in the United States to offer a School of Journalism and the only school in
Missouri to allow African Americans to earn a journalism degree. Lincoln would be the only HBCU to offer
a journalism program until 1967, when Hampton University of Virginia initiated its own Journalism
Department. During that span of 25 years, nearly 50% of all African Americans who earned a degree in
journalism did so at Lincoln University. Mitchell Hall bears a unique historical significance not only in the
annals of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) but also in the struggle for Civil Rights that
absorbed the entire nation.
The system of "separate but equal" as applied to higher education was to face its most serious challenge
during Lincoln's "Golden Age". In 1938, the court action of Lloyd Gaines against the University of Missouri
was the first step towards removing the legal barrier of opportunity established by the Plessy decision.
Lloyd Gaines, a 1936 alumnus of Lincoln University, applied to the School of Law at the University of
Missouri -Columbia and was denied entrance due to his race. Gaines filed suit against the university's
registrar, Silas Woodson Canada, claiming that Canada had violated his constitutional rights guaranteed
by the 14th Amendment. Gaines' legal counsel, particularly the esteemed Thurgood Marshall, and financial
backing was provided by the NAACP. The next year, following several unsuccessful appeals, the United
States Supreme Court upheld the mandates of Plessy v. Ferguson and ruled that states must provide
equal, state education for Blacks; thus, establishing the Lincoln University School of Law in 1939.
However, Gaines never attended. The Gaines decision was the first major test case that successfully
challenged Plessy and paved the way for the historic Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas
decision in 1954 which declared segregation unconstitutional.
The NAACP did not rest with the success of the Gaines decision. In the ensuing year, Lucille H. Bluford, a
Kansas City, Missouri native and graduate of the School of Journalism, University of Kansas, was denied
admittance to the Missouri School of Journalism as a graduate student because of her race and also filed
suit against the university. Miss Bluford's legal counsel was provided by the civil rights organization with
the future US Supreme Court Justice, Marshall, again leading the effort. The struggle resulted in Miss
Bluford filing a total of 11 lawsuits against the University of Missouri and in 1941 her case went to the
Missouri State Supreme Court. Adhering to the precedent handed down by the United States Supreme
Court in the Gaines case, the state court ruled that the state of Missouri should designate Lincoln
University to start its own School of Journalism, rather than admit Miss Bluford to the University of
Missouri. Vehemently determined not to allow Miss Bluford admittance, the University of Missouri actually
suspended graduate studies at its School of Journalism until Lincoln's own journalism school was
established. Like Gaines, Miss Bluford never attended the segregated school that was established as the r
Need/Urgency/Threat:
Mitchell Hall was constructed in 1942 as the first School of Journalism for African Americans at a HBCU.
It was founded for the purpose of educating African Americans in the field of journalism because of the
lawsuit of Ms. Lucille Bluford, who applied and was accepted to enter the University of Missouri —
Columbia, until she arrived and they saw she was African American. While Mitchell Hall is no longer used
for the School of Journalism, it is an important asset with its historical significance related to Civil Rights
and should be preserved to enhance this recognition.
Mitchell Hall is a Federal style, two-story brick building with a rectangular floor plan, symmetrical facade
and gable roof. It is a small, 40'x 82', facility that sits at a prominent location at the main entrance to
campus facing Dunklin Street to the north, Lafayette Street to the west, and ties into the rest of Lincoln
University's campus to the south and east.
In the center of both the north and south elevations is an elegant stone faced -entrance flanked by pilasters
and covered with a metal "eyebrow" roof. From a sidewalk from Dunklin Street across from the lawn, a
short flight of stairs to a concrete stoop and angled limestone panels lead to the north entry door, which
was capped with a carved limestone panel with a Journalism scroll relief over a leaded -glass transom.
The south entry has a similar set of stairs and concrete stoop from the parking lot. A hanging cast iron
lantern with sidelights and transom surrounded the door. The building corners have brick quoining typical
of other Lincoln University structures.
By the mid-1980s the building no longer served as the home to the School/Department of Journalism.
Since then it has served as offices for faculty and presently houses the Marching Musical Storm Band.
Only a few changes have been made since the 1975 renovation, namely for ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act) accessibility. A platform lift was installed in the central hall, a switchback ramp was added
to the exterior southwest corner for access to the first floor, the janitor's closet and part of the women's
anteroom were developed into an ADA restroom on the first floor, and ADA hardware was installed in the
historic doors.
The 6,724 square foot building is located on 0.08 acres at the corner of Lafayette and Dunklin Streets,
which is at the edge of the Lincoln University campus, and the historically African American neighborhood
and business district known as "The Foot". Lincoln University of Missouri is a non-profit Historically Black
University (HBCU). The grounds around Mitchell Hall are in good condition; however, the building is in
need of major repair. Lack of use as an active classroom building has delayed much needed renovations.
As a result, the building has suffered from continuous leaking through the roof and foundation. The
basement level restroom facilities are unusable due to poor pipe conditions. In addition, continuous
leaking has left damage to the floor, ceiling, and walls on both levels. The linoleum flooring on both levels
and the main stairwell is severely damaged; the concrete and plywood subflooring is visible in many areas.
The ADA facilities need to be updated and the chair lift does not meet current codes. The foundation and
facade appear to be structurally sound; however, exterior waterproofing membrane needs to be applied to
the foundation and a new storm drainage system is needed around the building. An extensive overhaul of
piping and wiring is necessary to ensure that the building is safe for Tong -term occupancy. In addition,
aesthetic renovations, such as painting, restoration of the wood flooring and wood trim are necessary to
maintain the building. As supported by the Campus Master Plan, this building is in critical need of being
rehabilitated to include architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, exterior envelope repairs to prevent
further deterioration and meet today's needs and life safety codes.
Due to limited University resources and State funding initiatives for major capital improvement projects,
Mitchell Hall has had no renovations or repairs in many years. The entire facility needs a major overhaul
to include roof, gutter, and downspout repairs, foundation repairs, exterior painting, and repairs and or
replace of single -pane windows. Interior improvements include basement drywall demolition to remove
mold, painting, restoring of the wood floor and wood crown molding to original material.
The estimated cost to provide the much needed repairs is $558,000. The request herein from this grant is
$500,000 with a match of cash in the amount of $58,000 from the University from its local funds and
in-kind professional employee staff of $30,000. These "brick and mortar" restoration items are needed to
maintain the historical legacy of the important facility. Although Mitchell Hall is no longer home to the
study of journalism, it is a constant reminder and proud landmark of the national struggle for educational
quality and equality.
Upon grant award, the University will immediately being its consultant selection process to hire a historic
preservation architect to ensure compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment
of Historic Properties to prepare construction documents (plans and specifications) for the construction
work. The University President will appoint an Oversight and Advisory Committee to assist with the
selection of the historical architectural consultant. The University will advertise statewide for Statement of
Qualifications, allowing 3-4 weeks for responses. Once the Committee short-lists, interviews will be
conducted, and a recommendation will be made to the administration and the University's President for
approval to enter into a consultant contract. The selection process and contract approval process is
expected to take 3-4 months. Therefore, assuming a beginning date of January 2017, consultant selection
and contract execution should be completed by May 2017.
After the consultant contract has been executed, the design process will begin. A kick-off meeting will be
held with the historical architect/engineers (consultants) and the Oversight and Advisory Committee to
clearly identify the scope of work and the methodology of the repairs. Drawings and specifications will be
submitted to MOSHPO (Missouri State Historic Preservation Office) during the various phases of design
(preliminary, schematic, design development) and ultimately obtain final approval by MOSHPO before
going out for competitive bids. The Section 106 Review with MOSHPO will also be completed during this
time. To complete the construction documents and federal requirements, this is anticipated to take 9-10
months, approximately by March 2018.
Upon approval of the bidding documents by all approving authorities, the University will then advertise
statewide for receipt of competitive construction bids. This will take 30-60 days. Upon receipt of
competitive bids, the bids will be evaluated, and submitted for approval to all approving authorities.
Contractor qualifications will be submitted with the bids to ensure the contractor has done previous work on
historic structures. Costs associated with advertising of competitive bids and printing of construction
documents will be paid by the University — approximately $8,000. The bidding and approval phase of the
construction contract shall take 3-4 months, so approximately by July 2018.
Construction will commence and is expected to take 6-8 months to complete, anticipating completion by
March 2019. The University understands the requirements necessary for proper financial and performance
reporting related to this grant and has taken these tasks into consideration for the project timeline.
The construction budget breakdown is as follows:
a. Exterior envelope repairs $ 146,000
b. Interior finish repairs 137,000
c. Electrical system repairs 51,000
d. Plumbing system repairs 42,000

Feasibility:
Sustainability:
Lincoln University is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its Hilltop Campus Historict
District. While Mitchell Hall is not contiguous to the "hilltop", it sits at the bottom of the hill at a prominent
location at the main entrance into the University at the corner of Dunklin and Lafayette Streets. Lincoln
University also sits in what is considered Old Town of Jefferson City, the capital of Missouri. The heritage
of Old Town is vital to the community and the City is a dynamic partner along with the Old Town
Revitalization Company (a nonprofit corporation) to be a public policy advocate for the promotion of the
heritage of this central area of Jefferson City. Since Mitchell Hall sits at the corner of the historic "foot", the
former hub of black businesses in Jefferson City, preserving this building will have a long lasting effect to
promote and provide a constant reminder of the legacy African Americans endured as they struggled for
equality of education.
The University is committed to maintaining the facility. It needs these capital improvement funds though in
order to make significant repairs so that sustainability will be easier once the building envelope is restored
and interior repairs are completed to make it a safe and functional facility for many years to come.
As part of the sustainability and legacy of Mitchell Hall, the University will provide as part of its matching
contribution a storyboard or plaque to depict the history of the facility and why it was constructed. This
storyboard will provide a civic value for the community and preserve information and understanding that
obstacles can be overcome and realize how much has been, and can be, accomplished through hard work
and perseverance. Hopefully, it will encourage people to be more tolerant and appreciative of all people
and to recognize the great contributions made by men and women of all races, especially those that
impacted the Civil Rights movement.
