In this episode we explore what's involved in historic preservation and look at some success stories. While the idea of creating a lasting monument to the past is a noble one, those who pursue historic preservation and renovation without good information can quickly become frustrated and give up. We're going to try to arm you with some of that good information in today's discussion as we look at several Rosenwald Schools. The Rosenwald Schools were part of a rural school building initiative conceived by Booker T. Washington in 1912 and funded by Julius Rosenwald, an American clothier who became part owner of Sears, Roebuck and Company. Over the course of 20 years the Rosenwald Fund contributed more than 28.4 million dollars to construct over 4900 schools and other buildings for black children in the South. The program guests are very familiar with efforts to preserve the history of these schools. Our guests include Claudia Brown, Acting Administrator and Architectural Survey Coordinator with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office in the Department of Cultural Resources. From that same office working in the North East region, we have Reid Thomas, a Restoration Specialist. Addistionally, we have Mrs. Ella Wilder Perry, a 1936 alumna of the Panther Branch Rosenwald School in Wake County, also referred to as the Juniper Level School, and President of the Juniper Level Alumni. http://podcast.unctv.org/bif/2600/bif2621.mp4 webteam@unctv.org 92669F34-1FD8-45CB-BA8A-0BB62010B9AE Thu, 8 Sep 2011 17:35:19 -0400 2621 | Historic (Vacant) Property Makeovers North Carolina is replete with both historic spaces whose rich pasts have been beautifully preserved, and those spaces whose preservation efforts never move past a photo album.
