2007 Annual Report

From the Director

Federal Fiscal Year 2007 was another busy one for the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. The agency awarded a total of $2,336,208 in grants for historic preservation projects around the state. Nearly $10 million were invested in the state's historic properties through federal historic preservation tax incentives. Main Street Arkansas kicked off its Arkansas Downtown Network, which brings Main Street services to more Arkansas towns, and worked closely with the Rural Heritage Development Initiative. The agency's Section 106 staff reviewed thousands of federal undertakings and completed several long-standing negotiations.

The AHPP continues to use GIS and GPS technology to further its historic preservation goals, including locating surviving sections of the Cherokee Trail of Tears. The agency is working with cities across Arkansas to list additional commercial areas on the National Register of Historic Places, making more properties eligible to take advantage of preservation tax credits. Additional cities are preparing to join the Certified Local Government program, and the AHPP's education programs for students and adults will reach record numbers of Arkansans during FFY08.

Highlights of Federal Fiscal Year 2007

Grant Programs

The AHPP awarded $2,336,208 in grants during FFY07, providing assistance to historic properties, county courthouses and downtown areas. (A complete list of grant projects is included in Appendix I.) Grants were awarded as follows:

$892,195 in County Courthouse Restoration Subgrants, which distribute state Real Estate Transfer Tax funds provided through the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council for preservation of National Register-listed buildings that serve courthouse functions. Recipients included Benton, Boone, Bradley, Calhoun, Conway, Greene, Little River, Marion, Monroe, Perry, Poinsett, Polk, Union, Van Buren and Woodruff counties.

$811,644 in Historic Preservation Restoration Grants, which are available to municipalities and non-profit organizations for properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places or to any owners of Arkansas Register-listed properties if the work done will make them National Register-eligible. Grants were awarded for projects at Arkadelphia, Warren, Little Rock, Eudora, Glenwood, Holly Grove, Lonoke, Pottsville, Springdale, Texarkana, Van Buren, Clover Bend, Monticello, Fort Smith, Hope, Saint Paul, Imboden, Jerome, Pine Bluff, Rogers, Jasper, Portland, Selma and Dyess.

Little River County Courthouse $110,400 in Certified Local Government Grants was awarded to Blytheville, Conway, El Dorado, Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Helena-West Helena, Hot Springs, Morrilton, North Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Rogers, Texarkana and Van Buren.

$280,872 in Downtown Revitalization grants was awarded to Main Street Arkansas cities. Grants went to North Little Rock, Batesville, Blytheville, Dumas, El Dorado, Hardy, Helena-West Helena, Osceola, Ozark, Paragould, Rogers, Russellville, Searcy, Texarkana and West Memphis.

National Register of Historic Places

A total of 99 properties in 50 Arkansas counties were added to the National Register of Historic Places, the country's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation, during FFY07. (A complete list is available in Appendix II below.) Those included nominations that constituents prepared with the assistance of AHPP staff members, as well as staff-generated nominations for cattle dipping vats used in the fight against Texas tick fever, properties associated with highway culture in the state and properties related to the Indian Removals of the 1830s. The AHPP's State Review Board nominated a total of 83 properties to the National Register during the federal fiscal year.

The National Register program's initiative to list more Arkansas commercial districts on the register, with the goal of making more downtown property owners eligible to take advantage of the 20-percent historic preservation tax credit for reuse of structures for income-producing use, moved forward during FFY07. New commercial districts were listed in Pea Ridge, Stuttgart, Dumas and Little Rock, while surveys were undertaken in Fayetteville, Dardanelle, Augusta, Clarksville, Heber Springs, Ashdown, Charleston, Benton, Texarkana, Little Rock, West Memphis, Huntsville, Hamburg, Magnolia, Pine Bluff, Fordyce and Prescott. Other towns that have discussed establishing commercial historic districts include Warren, Cotton Plant, Conway, Tyronza, Trumann, Waldron, Lewisville and Foreman.

The National Register recognizes properties significant at the local, state and national levels for their association with historic themes, significant people or architects, their method of construction or architectural style, or their potential to provide future information through archeological study or other research.

Hampton Waterworks Three properties were listed on the Arkansas Register during FFY07. The Arkansas Register recognizes historically significant properties that are not eligible for National Register recognition, usually because of non-historic alterations. (Those properties are identified below.)

Properties in Lee, St. Francis and Poinsett counties were added to the National Register during FFY07, making a total of 10 listed in that county and bringing the AHPP closer to its goal of having a minimum of 10 National Register listings in each of the state's 75 counties. Only seven counties now have fewer than 10 listings.

The National Register staff also provided technical assistance to 1,607 constituents during FFY07, helping people from Airport Village, Alexander, Alicia, Alleene, Alma, Alpena, Amagon, Arkadelphia, Arkansas City, Ash Flat, Ashdown, Atkins, Augusta, Auvergne, Avant, Bald Knob, Baldwin, Batesville, Bauxite, Beebe, Beedeville, Bella Vista, Benton, Bentonville, Berryville, Bigelow, Biscoe, Bismarck, Black Rock, Blytheville, Bonanza, Booneville, Bradford, Bradley, Brinkley, Bryant, Bull Shoals, Cabot, Calico Rock, Camden, Childress, Clarendon, Clarksville, Clinton, Coleman, Colt, Conway, Cornerstone, Corning, Cotter, Cotton Plant, Crawfordsville, Crocketts Bluff, Crossett, Dardanelle, De Queen, DeValls Bluff, Des Arc, DeWitt, Dumas, Dutch Mills, Earle, East Camden, El Dorado, Elkins, Eureka Springs, Fairfield Bay, Fayetteville, Flippin, Fordyce, Foreman, Forrest City, Fort Smith, Fort Worth, TX, Fredonia, Frenchport, Galloway, Galveston, TX, Garland, Gentry, Georgia, Gibson, Gillett, Glen Lake, Glen Rose, Glenwood, Grady, Green Forest, Greenwood, Hamburg, Hampton, Harmony, Harrison, Hartford, Haskell, Hasty, Havana, Hazen, Heber Springs, Helena-West Helena, Hermitage, Highfill, Holly Grove, Hope, Hot Springs, Huntsville, Imboden, Immanuel, Indianapolis, IN, Jacksonville, Jessieville, Jonesboro, Judsonia, Keiser, Kingsland, Ladd, Lake City, Lake Village, Lauratown, Lavaca, Leslie, Lewisville, Lincoln, NE, Little Rock, Lockesburg, London, Lonoke, Louann, Lurton, Magnolia, Malvern, Mammoth Springs, Mansfield, Marble, Marcella, Marianna, Marked Tree, Maumelle, McCrory, McGehee, Mena, Mineral Springs, Monette, Monticello, Morganton, Morrilton, Mountainburg, Mt.

Certified Local Governments

The City of Texarkana joined the CLG program in January 2007. The city’s preservation ordinance protects most of the downtown area (pictured above) as well as several adjacent neighborhoods. The Certified Local Government (CLG) program represents a partnership between the AHPP, the National Park Service and local governments to protect historic resources of local significance. Arkansas cities and counties are eligible to participate in the CLG program if they have a historic district commission implementing the provisions of the Arkansas Historic Districts Act through a local preservation ordinance. In FFY07, the CLG program continued to provide training, technical support, and grant assistance to Arkansas's local historic district commissions.

Three new Arkansas cities were certified by the National Park Service in FFY07. Pine Bluff, Texarkana, and Morrilton joined Conway, El Dorado, Rogers, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Eureka Springs, Hot Springs, Van Buren, Fort Smith, Osceola and Helena-West Helena to bring Arkansas's total number of Certified Local Governments (CLGs) to 14. Each of these cities features one or more locally designated historic districts protected by a local preservation ordinance.

During FFY07 Blytheville appointed a new historic district commission and is currently pursuing CLG status, along with Fayetteville and Benton County. Little Rock was named a Preserve America community by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. Osceola received a $100,000 Preserve America grant to install signage along US Highway 61 interpreting the community's cotton history.

The AHPP hosted a commissioner training workshop in Hot Springs in October 2006 at which over 30 local preservation commissioners and staff received a day of intense instruction. The AHPP also hosted two CLG training sessions in Little Rock: one on preservation advocacy in February 2007 (held in conjunction with Main Street Arkansas) and another on conflict management in May 2007. Additionally, the AHPP partnered with the State of Louisiana's Division of Historic Preservation to host a CLG training session in El Dorado in August 2007, at which more than 50 local preservation commissioners and staff from both states received a day of training on building public support for preservation.

The AHPP annually grants at least 10 percent of its federal funding for projects in CLGs or in cities seeking to join the program. In FFY07, a total of $110,400 was awarded for projects in 14 cities. Projects included architectural surveys, interpretive signage, and development of design guidelines for local historic districts. Since 1983, the AHPP has awarded CLG grants totaling $2,473,167 to assist the efforts of local preservation commissions.

The AHPP's CLG personnel provided technical assistance to 1,490 constituents during FFY07, including residents of Batesville, Bentonville, Blytheville, Brinkley, Calico Rock, Conway, Dumas, El Dorado, Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Hardy, Helena-West Helena, Hot Springs, Little Rock, Lowell, Monticello, Morrilton, North Little Rock, Osceola, Pine Bluff, Rogers, Russellville, Siloam Springs, Texarkana, Van Buren and War Eagle.

Main Street Arkansas

Main Street Arkansas had a very successful year during FFY07, continuing its partnership role in one of two national pilot programs for heritage-based economic development , the Rural Heritage Development Initiative (RHDI), as well as adding three new communities to the still new Arkansas Downtown Network. Main Street Arkansas, Arkansas Scenic Byways and the Historic Preservation Alliance of Arkansas are the principal partners for the initiative in Arkansas.

The initiative is funded in significant part through a $745,000 three-year grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The Delta counties involved in the project are Arkansas, Clay, Chicot, Craighead, Crittenden, Cross, Desha, Drew, Greene, Lee, Mississippi, Monroe, Phillips, Poinsett, and St. Francis.

Among the RHDI's accomplishments during FFY07:

• The RHDI in partnership with Main Street Arkansas received an Association for Enterprise Opportunities Rural Flavor Learning Cluster grant. This grant has been a tremendous help in the creation of the Arkansas DeltaMade brand development and the beginning of its implementation. More information on DeltaMade is available at www.arkansasdeltamade.com
• The regional brand, Arkansas Delta: Soil & Soul kicked off with a series of regional events. It has been adopted and incorporated in literature and logos by numerous cities, counties and local organization. The regional tear-off map has been completed and is being distributed to chambers of commerce, tourist information centers and will soon be available on the web at www.arkansasdelta.org.

Also during FFY07, Main Street Arkansas expanded its Arkansas Downtown Network (ADN), which provides an additional level of state assistance to downtowns that are not in certified Main Street Arkansas cities. Among the services and benefits ADN cities will receive are access to Main Street Arkansas's quarterly trainings, organizational assistance, technical assistance and consultation with Main Street staff members, and access to the Main Street resource center. Eureka Springs, Heber Springs and Ft. Smith joined ADN as pilot programs during FFY07; other cities are expected to join in FFY08. This brings the number of ADN cities to five, including Little Rock's South Main neighborhood (SoMa) and Pine Bluff.

Main Street Arkansas Director Cary Tyson visits with U.S. Senator Mark Pryor and Main Street El Dorado Executive Director Mark Givens at the bi-annual Main Street Arkansas Awards. First Impressions assessments were completed in Heber Springs and Eureka Springs. The South Main (Little Rock) neighborhood received an resource assessment visit and has made application to become a full-fledged Main Street community.

Main Street Arkansas initiated both a myspace and Facebook page as well as a blog and continues its successful e-newsletter communication tool.

Main Street Arkansas initiated a well received Window Display workshop and conducted it in six cities in FF07.

Main Street Arkansas continues to be represented on the National Trust Main Street Center's executive committee by former Director Marian Boyd. The executive committee is charged with leading the Main Street movement in the 21st century, working towards having 50 successful state programs and ensuring that the movement's continued relevance and promotion.

An article on Main Street Arkansas's Model Business Grant was published in the March 2007 issue of The Main Street News.

MSA issued $151,835 in Model Business Grants and $280,972 in Downtown Revitalization Grants, some of which were targeted for slipcover removal.

Main Street Arkansas conducted a 4-point training in March for over 70 people, continued its Legislative Education day with the AHPP's Certified Local Government program, and produced a training session "Tourism as Economic Development." Main Street Arkansas staff members spoke in 30 cities as well as at the Arkansas ArtLinks conference, the National Trust for Historic Preservation conference in St. Paul, MN, and the National Main Streets conference in Seattle, WA.

The Main Street Arkansas staff provided technical assistance to 3,251 Arkansans during FFY07, including constituents from the 16 Main Street Arkansas cities: Batesville, Blytheville, Dumas, El Dorado, Hardy, Harrison, Helena, North Little Rock, Osceola, Ozark, Paragould, Rogers, Russellville, Searcy, Texarkana and West Memphis. Also receiving assistance from the Main Street staff during the year were residents of Beebe, Brinkley, Calico Rock, Clinton, Conway, Crawfordsville, Dermott, Eureka Springs, Fairfield, Fayetteville, Forrest City, Fort Smith, Heber Springs, Hot Springs, Lakeport, Little Rock, Morrilton, Pine Bluff, Sheridan, Springdale, Stuttgart and Washington.

The economic development achievements of Main Street Arkansas continued to grow during FFY07. The cities involved in Main Street recorded 87 new jobs during the year, as well as a net gain of 28 new businesses and 22 business expansions and relocations into downtown areas. The 16 towns saw 80 façade renovations, building rehabilitations and new construction projects in their downtown areas, representing $48,840,486 in private investment. The Main Street cities recorded 13 Main Street-generated public improvement projects reflecting $113,191 in public investment during FFYO7, and logged in 22,898 volunteer hours during the year.

Since its inception in 1984, Main Street Arkansas cities have yielded a net gain of 4,503 jobs, 877 new businesses and 884 business expansions and relocations into downtown. A total of $127,012,159 in private investment has financed 42 façade renovations, rehabilitations and new construction projects. The Main Street cities have seen 703 public improvement projects valued at $16,573,029 and 390,698 volunteer hours on Main Street matters.

Historic Preservation Tax Credits

Perhaps the main financial incentive for adaptive reuse of historic structures in the United States is a 20-percent historic preservation tax credit for such projects, which the AHPP administers in Arkansas. During FFY07, seven Arkansas tax projects were completed in Rogers, Little Rock, El Dorado, Texarkana, Stuttgart, and two projects in Hot Springs, representing $9,993,539.56 in private investment.

The federal tax reform act of 1986 contains several incentives for restoration of historic properties, including:

• A 20 percent tax credit for the substantial rehabilitation of certified historic buildings for commercial, industrial and rental residential purposes
• A 10 percent tax credit for the substantial rehabilitation for nonresidential purposes of buildings built before 1936 that are ineligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. A straight-line depreciation period of 27.5 years for residential property and 31.5 years for nonresidential property for the depreciable basis of the rehabilitated building reduced by the amount of the tax credit claimed.

Coker & Hampton Before
Coker & Hampton After AHPP Tax Credit personnel provided technical assistance to 339 people during FFY07, including residents of Augusta, Ashdown, Batesville, Benton, Blytheville, Brinkley, Calico Rock, Charleston, Clarksville, Clinton, Conway, Dallas, TX, Dardanelle, El Dorado, Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, Foreman, Fort Smith, Gravette, Heber Springs, Helena-West Helena, Hot Springs, Little Rock, Magnolia, North Little Rock, Newport, Omaha, Prescott, Pruitt, Rogers, Searcy, Star City, Stuttgart, Texarkana and Van Buren.

Special Projects

The AHPP supported efforts for legislation to create a state panel to begin planning for the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which will commence in 2011. The Arkansas General Assembly approved legislation creating the Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission, with members appointed by the Governor, Speaker of the House, and President Pro Tem of the Senate, in addition to other members specifically identified in the legislation.

Castleberry-Harrington Historic District Special Projects historians identified Trail of Tears-related sites in Arkansas and continued to develop National Register nominations for eligible segments.

The agency completed a new driving tour map focusing on National Register-listed properties associated with automobile and highway culture in the state.

The AHPP continued to improve its web site during FFY07, adding dozens of additional National Register nominations to the searchable database as well as downloadable publications and lesson plans.

The Special Projects section began a multiple-property historic context for historic properties associated with the Arkansas homefront during World War II. Special Projects staff also developed several National Register nominations of properties that African-American contractor Silas Owens Sr. constructed.

The AHPP continued working with the six regional Arkansas Civil War Heritage Trail groups, providing technical assistance to the groups and publishing the Arkansas Battlefield Update newsletter to keep Trail members aware of activities across the state.

Preservation Outreach Program

During FFY07, the AHPP continued to offer its "Sandwiching in History" and "Walks through History" tour programs. The tours helped bring attention to historic resources in individual communities and educate citizens about their historic significance and increase local pride and interest. The AHPP's personal attention to each of the communities and resources it visits makes this program a success year after year. The AHPP worked in partnership with local preservation-minded groups to promote the "Walks through History" tours and cooperated with local media for other means of advertising for the tours. In addition, AHPP staff members continued providing specialized programs to different interest groups across the state. While these programs could center on a wide variety of topics the overall theme was preservation education and appreciation. A total of 923 Arkansans attended the AHPP programs this past year. AHPP educational programs were held in Arkadelphia, Ashdown, Augusta, Bald Knob, Batesville, Benton, Bentonville, Camden, Clarendon, Clinton, Conway, Dardanelle, El Dorado, Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, Fordyce, Fort Smith, Hamburg, Heber Springs, Helena-West Helena, Hot Springs, Jacksonville, Jonesboro, Little Rock, Monticello, Morrilton, North Little Rock, Newport, Paris, Piggott, Pine Bluff, Pocahontas, Prescott, Rogers, Russellville, Searcy, Springdale, Texarkana, West Memphis and Wynne.

AHPP staff continued their efforts to reach all Arkansans on a variety of preservation topics through the publication of articles in various state and national publications. AHPP articles focused on specific properties in Arkansas with high levels of significance recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as well as topics of current interest in preservation.

Historic Site Survey

The AHPP's survey historians were busy during FFY07, continuing statewide surveys of structures designed by architect John Parks Almand, structures erected by the Depression-era Public Works Administration, steel bridges, structures associated with cotton and rice farming in the Arkansas Delta and properties linked to early twentieth-century efforts to eradicate Texas fever from Arkansas cattle. AHPP historians travel thousands of miles across the state each year, recording information on historic structures that is used later in nominating buildings to the National Register of Historic Places or is placed in the agency database of more than 30,500 properties for future research. Some surveys are done at constituent request, others are done as part of agency documentation projects and some are done to create a record of historic buildings destined for demolition. The AHPP maintains an architectural resource form, black-and-white photographs and negatives, and color slides on each of the properties it surveys.

Back to top

Historic Property Data

Information on 1,096 historic properties was entered in the AHPP's historic sites database during FFY07, including 324 generated by staff or Certified Local Government personnel and four prepared as mitigation to federal undertakings. These records include complete architectural information on several National Register-listed historic districts around the state. This information will be accessible to answer constituent inquiries, to determine what properties could be affected by federal undertakings, and for other research purposes. The database currently contains information on 31,566 Arkansas properties. The agency also continued integrating its survey materials to consolidate survey forms, slides, photographs and negatives to make them more accessible to researchers.

Education Outreach Program

Thorncrown Chapel The AHPP continues to focus as a top priority on efforts to instill an appreciation of Arkansas's historic properties in the state's students by making presentations across Arkansas and by training teachers to include historic preservation elements in their classroom instruction.

A new lesson plan, "Arkansas's 20th Century Architecture: An Introduction to the Architecture of Edward Durrell Stone and E. Fay Jones," was completed during FFY07. Lesson plans and other educational materials were distributed statewide and nationwide and are available on the AHPP web site.

The AHPP once again sponsored the annual Preserve Our Past Art and Essay Invitational. Around 300 students participated in the event, with winning art and essays displayed at the Old State House Museum during Arkansas Heritage Month, which is celebrated every May.

E. Fay Jones’s Thorncrown Chapel and Edward Durrell Stone’s Jay Lewis Residence are examples of the modern Arkansas architecture highlighted in the AHPP’s newest lesson plan. The AHPP hosted the first Children's Historic Preservation Summer Walking Tour during the months of June and July at historic Mount Holly cemetery in Little Rock. Around 60 students and parents participated in all three tours.

The AHPP and Radio Disney hosted the "A Historic Moment in Arkansas" essay contest. Around 100 students participated in the event. Two students from Pulaski County won the top two prizes, and each student was interviewed, which was broadcasted on Radio Disney throughout the month of December 2007.

The AHPP presented historic preservation programs to 4,219 students in schools at Arkansas City, Ashdown, Bald Knob, Bergman, Bigelow, Booneville, Bright Star, Bryant, Fordyce, Greenbrier, Heber Springs, Hector, Helena-West Helena, Hot Springs, Jonesboro, Lavaca, Little Rock, Manila, Marmaduke, Maynard, McGehee, Morrilton, Murfreesboro, North Little Rock, Omaha, Paragould, Piggott, Pine Bluff, Rogers, Russellville, Sheridan, Smackover, Springdale, Van Buren, Viola, Walnut Ridge, Washington and White Hall.

Conservation Easements

Eudora City Hall The highest degree of protection available to the owner of a historic property can be realized through donation of a conservation easement to the AHPP. Through the easement program, owners of National Register-listed properties agree that they will not substantially alter their property. In return, the owners may be eligible for a federal tax deduction, as well as the peace of mind that their historic property will be protected long into the future. Sixteen easements were donated to the AHPP during FFY07, bringing the total number of easements the agency holds to 310. In addition, AHPP staff members provided technical assistance to 308 Arkansans, including people in Arkadelphia, Ashdown, Bald Knob, Batesville, Benton, Coy, DeWitt, Dyess, El Dorado, Eudora, Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Glenwood, Gravette, Hampton, Harrison, Helena-West Helena, Hermitage, Holly Grove, Hope, Jasper, Jonesboro, Little Rock, Lonoke, Magnolia, Marcella, Monticello, North Little Rock, Osceola, Ozark, Pine Bluff, Portland, Pottsville, Rogers, Searcy, Selma, Siloam Springs, Springdale, Texarkana, Van Buren, Warren and Yellville.

Planning

In keeping with federal requirements, each state historic preservation office is responsible for producing a multi-year plan to guide a comprehensive array of activities to facilitate the preservation of historic resources. In Arkansas, that responsibility falls to the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. In 2007, with the help of Arkansas's historic preservation community and citizens, AHPP prepared a five-year, comprehensive statewide historic preservation plan to be in effect from 2008 through 2012. The plan will be available on-line in early 2008. The plan will serve as a guide to direct the services and programs not only of the AHPP, but also of others in Arkansas who serve the preservation community. While the plan satisfies the SHPO's federal requirements, this document serves as an overall plan for preserving the state's resources and should be used in preservation organizations' planning and decision making efforts. Click here to read the AHPP's 2002 state historic preservation plan; the revised plan will be available in early 2008.

Computer Technology

During FFY07, the AHPP's computer technology staff used GPS/GIS technology to map segments of the Cherokee Trail of Tears, Civil War fortifications and battlefields. Software is being developed to make the historic structures database available online through an interactive mapping program. The historic property database was improved through updates of point locations of structures within the database. The staff also created maps for the various program areas as needed.

Technical Assistance

When Arkansans have questions about their historic properties, they often call the AHPP. The AHPP's technical services coordinator travels the state to visit constituents, view their buildings and advise them on preservation strategies.
