HAWKEYE CASLEVISION LINE EXTENSION POLICY
The following policy shall apply to dwelling units within the
Service Area as defined in Ordinance Number 78-2917, and to all
areas annexed to the initial Service Area which meet or exceed
the requirements of the policy.
Hawkeye will serve all areas within the service Area which meet
or exceed the minimum density requirement of fifty-five (55)
occupied homes per planirmile (30 occupied homes per half mile).
Calculation of the number of miles of plant involved shall include a
figure representing any inter -connecting trunk line. Hawkeye will
complete construction in these areas within nine (9) months following
the date upon which a given area achieves the above density. In
addition, Hawkeye will use its best efforts to complete construction
sooner than the nine (9) month period set forth above. The nine (9)
month construction time limit undertaken in this policy assumes that
Hawkeye encounters no unusual easement problem which cause unanticipated
delays, and also assumes that events beyond Hawkeye's reasonable control
do not intervene to unreasonably delay construction.

Hawkeye and the Broadband Telecommunications Commission (BTC) will
jointly verify the minimum density requirements stated above. There-

after the nine (9) month construction period shall begin. Hawkeye
shall keep the BTC informed of construction progress in these areas.
f

I
For those individuals requesting service and living more than 200
feet from existing plant but do not fulfill the above density
requirements, Hawkeye will charge for time and materials to construct
additional plant.
This extension policy supercedes any and all extension policies
previously submitted to the City of Iowa City by Hawkeye Cablevision.

Dear Bernie:
Because of coursework and the fact that I will be
working in Des Moines this summer, with this letter I am
resigning from the Riverfront Commission.
I have enjoyed my work with you on the Commission.
During the time I've spent with you, other commission
members and staff I have found your dedication heartening.
The road that the Commission has chosen to follow over
the next couple of years --to gain conservation easements
along the Iowa River Corridor-- seems exciting, challenging,
and a particularly needed course of action. I hope
success for you on this undertaking.
i
I'm turning into Karen most of the materials I have
accumulated over the past year and a half, including minutes E
of Commission meetings, which would seem particularly useful to the
next person who occupies my position.
I look forward to reading of your success story with
gain•#g conservation easements in the papers over the ;
next year or two. Good luck! III!
Sincerely,
'Y

RE: Noise Ordinance.
Dear Madam.
Truly hoping that when the City Council is considering the ordinance,
that they will keep in mind, some of our occupations, demand &arly
morning and late evening work. One example, tree spraying, with very
limited hours possible,because of wind & other weather conditions.
With the equipment, passing EPA, and OHSA standards, it is still not
the quibtest, and can not be modified toVl.essend.
be
I am sure that there is many phases of all construction work, that
has to be done at periods AN than 8 to 5•
other
Thanking you all for your Serious considerations in thses areas.

Dear Mr. Lyvers:
At its regular meeting of April 27, 1982, the City Council received
and placed on file your letter concerning the proposed noise ordinance.
You expressed concern about some occupations which operate during
early naming and late evening hours. Section 24.1-3(2) of the pro-
posed ordinance specifically exempts the maintenance of trees.
If you should have any further questions, please let me know.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240 1
Dear Mayor Neuhauser:
Thank you for having given careful consideration to my recent
letter in strong support of a noise ordinance, and for your
report ofkthe status of this matter.
I understand that you would rather not place my letter on the
City Council agenda, since I mentioned a specific incident.
Therefore I am writing again, without any specific references,
in strong support for an ordinance. Let us defend the
rights of all poeple of the community, most of whom need
reasonable peace and quiet, and, surely, all of whom want
to save energy during the "grace" period in our weather
cycles (let us hope that Spring was not cancelled by the
weatherman "upstairs" this year!), when we can open the
windows, when we want to sit outside. The electronic noise
pollution is a problem. Having strong stereo system sit
outsideyand thereby terrorise an$ entire area, should be g
deemed inappropriate. I mentioned the incident, without
giving a name, only to illustrate what I meant. I do not `
wish to send the police to my neighbors, for I like my
neighbors, all of them I would say. I noise ordinance
makes complaints unnecessary, mostly at least. In this
university town, professors work on their scholarship at
home, students study — we need a quiet atmosphere.
i
Again, thank you. I hope this letter will be appropriate {{
for the agenda, since I have now formulated my concerns i
in a more general sense.
Sincerely, I

Dear rnemherso, ' DwcaCiit,c14ycoofnC11)
As a resident of Iowa City for almost 19 years, I would like to bring up a matter
that I'm sure has been mentioned before; the choice of a main runway for future use
at the Iowa City municipal Airport. My proposal is to lengthen the northeast -southwest
runway using the former city landfill (now a city park) as an area in which to build
the new runway extension.
At this time, Iowa City airport is not a major airport, it does not even have
commercial airline service. However, the truth of the matter is, the use of the
north -south runway is use that will not benefit anyone involved with the airport, now
or in the future. This runway is dangerous, as the approach from the north has the
Benton Street wires as a formidable obstacle. Also, those who live in the flight path
bear ill will toward the airport, due to noise pollution. This is because the north
approach, and take -off paths are directed over residential districts of central and
west Iowa City, and the campus of the University of Iowa. The north -south runway is,
as you know, a very inferior choice as a main runway. May I suggest an alternative?
The northeast -southwest runway is the best choice for the main runway. I know that
this runway has been considered as the main runway of the future , but not with this
consideration; this runway can be lengthened, and the flightpath will be over farm land
or commercial land, be the approach or take -off from the northeast or the southwest.
Instead of lengthening the runway to the southwest, which would require the purchase
of expensive and very much needed farm land,Msider extension of the runway toward
the northeast. This would make the purchase of land unnecessary, as this is old city
landfill, now a city park, and would make the Approach less dangerous (no Benton wires).
The park that exists east and northeast of the airport is only sparsely vegitated at
the present time, so extension of the runway would not degrade the beauty of the area.
In the case of highway 218 south, instead of rerouting the highway, a tunnel (ala
Denver's Stapleton International Airport) could beewtructed.
I think that consideration will reveal this to be the least expensive, safest,
most environmentally sound route to choose in selecting a main runway for the future
of the Iowa City Municipal Airport.

Kyle Anderson.

Dear Mr. Anderson:
At its regular meeting of April 27, 1982, the City Council received and
placed on file your letter concerning the designation of a main runway for
the Iowa City Airport. You have suggested that the northeast -southwest
runway be extended toward the northeast. Your reasons for extending the
runway in this direction are valid --saving valuable farmland, etc. --
however, Mr. Richard Kautz, Resident Construction Engineer for the
Highway Division of the Iowa Department of Transportation indicated that a
bridge 11 feet wide by 400 feet long would cost approximately $500,000.
The cost for building a tunnel is slightly higher. A tunnel under the
- runway extension to the northeast would have to be at a minimum 48 feet
wide to accommodate the four -lane Highway 218 and to clear the runway
safety areas it would have to be at least 800 feet long. As you can see,
the dimensions of this tunnel are over twice that of a $500,000 bridge.
Add to that required lighting, ventilation and water drainage, a
conservative estimate of cost would exceed $1 million for the tunnel.
The plan currently proposed would be an extension to the southwest, with
only a small portion of land being required. The airport's consultants
estimate 96 acres will be required at an acquisition cost of approximately
$250,000. This land acquisition would be an eligible federal project with
FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) carrying 90% of the cost. The local
matching share would be around $25,000. Although farmland is being used
for this project, extension to the southwest seems to be most cost
effective.
It is the Airport Commission's desire to make the northeast- southwest
runway the main runway even before it is extended. To entice pilots to
start using this runway after dark, the airport will be installing radio '
controlled runway lights and will be keeping the lights on the northeast -
southwest runway during the hours of darkness. It is hoped this will move
the evening traffic to this runway, thus, helping some of the problems of
the past.
Your concerns with the development of our airport is much appreciated.
Sincerely yours,

IOWA CITY. IOWA 52244
April 14, 198.2
Ms. Neuhauser and the City Council
The Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Councilpeoplel
I RECF� APR 1 9 1982
Last summer BIC (Bicyclists of Iowa City) renewed its active inter-
est in procuring a safe and legal method of bicycling from Clinton
to Capitol westbound on Washington Street. As the Transit Inter-
change now exists there is a ban on westbound bicycle traffic on
Washington between Clinton and Capitol Streets. Discussions with
Hugh Mose the transit manager, Jeff Davidson the assistant trans-
portation planner, Jim Brachtel the traffic engineet and informat-
ion obtained from bus drivers themselves all show that conflicts
between busses and bicycles are not (and will not) be a problem.
The reasoning is that many bicyclists are illegally travelling
westbound now.and legalizing the usage will not affect the sage
movement of those bicycles.
In October 1981 a discussion in•informal City Council session re-
sulted in bring up the issue of the City's liability should a bus/
bike collision occur. It was agreed that the legal or illegal
presence of bicycles would probably not make any difference in the
outcome of a lawsuit. Nonetheless the feeling of Robert Janson the
City Attorney was that liability would be somewhat greater if the
bicyclists presence were permitted and a collision occurred'.
Mr. Janson also stated that it would be "necessar,a to provide a bike
lane and appropriate signing to fulfill its (the City's) high duty
to provide a safe condition for the bikes." There is considerable

evidence that bi}_ 'lanes on normal city str6„ls frequently create
more dangers than they remove ( See John S. Allen, The Complete
Book of Bicycle Commutinr, Rodale Press, N]mnas, PA. 1981 and John
Forester, Effective C clin , Custom Cydle FYitments, Sunnyvale, CA.
1881). I quote from Forester's book:
"95.5% of car/bike collisions are caused by turning and
crossing movements. Bike lanes and sidepaths make about
50% of these more difficult and dangerous, and don't re-
duce the rest. Bike lanes and sidepaths are intended,
supposedly, to reduce car/bike rear endcollisions on
straight roads, which constitute only0.
i
bike collisions." 5I of total car/
It is because bike lanes and sidepaths are often more dangerous
than street riding that BIC opposes the use of them and "Bicyclist
use sidewalk" signing in Iowa City generally and for the 50 feet
of the Transit Interchange in particular.
This leaves "appropriate signing" to consider. Bus drivers using
the interchange have found that the real danger to westbound traffic
comes from busses on the south side of the island merging with the
rest of the westbound traffic on the other side of the island. And,
as a result, have adopted a policy of stopping at the west end of
the island and proceeding with caution. It seems appropriate, as
I think John Lundell suggested, that a "Caution" or "Stop" sign
be installed at that spot to warn bicyclists of a possible danger
from merging busses. A sign would absolve the city of its liability
and the safety of bicyclists would be increased since we would no
longer be forced to drive our bicycles westbound on Burlington Street
nor on the pedestrians' sidewalks.
The final objection Mr. Janson has deals with the wording of the
City Code as follows: "Every person riding a bicycle on a road-
way shall ride as near to the righthand side of the roadway as
practicable except for turning movements, or where bike lanes so
designate." I have already mentioned the danger that bikelanes
create. Mr. Janson feels that since busses are near the curb
a

r- 3
when they load and unload, the code would need to be modified to
allow bicycles to drive to their left. However, the code does not
require bicyclists to hug the righthand curb since "as near.., as
practicable" allows for bicyclists to travel anywhere near the
right side of the street as is safest. Since it is safest to
pass a stopped bus on the left, there seems to be no reason to
t
change the code to allow for it.
r
To summarize then, since there is general agreement that bicyclists
now driving westbound on Washington from Clinton to Capitol are not
causing a dangerous situation, and signing with a "Yield, Caution
or Stop" sign would probably absolve the City of liability should
a collision occur, there seems to be no reason not to legalize the
westbound bicycle flow. I will be happy to discuss this matter in
either informal or formal Council session.
Thank you for considering this request again.

RE: Zero Lot Line Ordinance
Dear Councilmembers:
At it's regular meeting of April 8, 1982, the Homebuilders
Association of 'Iowa City, Iowa, discussed the zero lot line, or
single family attached concepts. A panel composed of Douglas
Boothroy, Glenn Siders, both of Iowa City, Bruce Glasgow, speaking
as a Developer, and myself, made a brief presentation of this
concept. Also present at the meeting was Omer Letts of the
City of Coralville, who was asked to comment upon the zero lot
line ordinance iri effect in Coralville.
After the presentation, a discussion was held concerning
the feasibility and timing of the City of Iowa City implementing
a zero lot line ordinance. The members of the association at the
meeting were informed that the concept is included in the comp-
rehensive plan being proposed and discussed by the City of Iowa
City planning staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission,
but that this comprehensive plan would not likely be implemented
for a few years.
The members of the Iowa City HomebuildVIAssociation were of
the general opinion that after seeing how well the concept works
in Coralville, it would work as well or better in Iowa City. The
Association as a group was of the general opinion that it would like
to see such.a concept passed by ordinance now, in time for the
present building season, rather than to study the concept and
impliment it with a comprehensive zoning plan at some unspecified
future time.
The following resolution was unanimously passed by the Iowa
City Homebuilders Association at it's April 8, 1982 meeting:

HAWKEYE CABLEVISION LINE EXTENSION POLICY
The following policy shall apply to dwelling units within the
Service Area as defined in Ordinance Number 78-2917, and to all
areas annexed to the initial Service Area which meet or exceed
the requirements of the policy.
Hawkeye will serve all areas within the service Area which meet
or. exceed .the minimum density requirement of fifty-five (55)
.occupied homes per planirmile (30 occupied homes per half mile).
Calculation of the number of miles of plant involved shall include a
figure representing any inter -connecting trunk line. Hawkeye will
complete construction in these areas within nine (9) months following
the date upon which a given area achieves the above density. In
addition, Hawkeye will use its best efforts to complete construction
sooner than the nine (9) month period set forth above. The nine (9)
month construction time limit undertaken in this policy assumes that
Hawkeye encounters no unusual easement problem which cause unanticipated
delays, and also assumes that events beyond Hawkeye's reasonable control
do not intervene to unreasonably delay construction.

TO: Planning and Zoning Commission �.
FROM: Douglas Boothroy, Senior Plann
RE: Stone Ridge Subdivision
The Planning and Zoning Commission, in addressing itself to
the application of the Rural Development standards and the
potential for annexation of the Stone Ridge Subdivision,
determined that this subdivision was not likely to ever be
annexed to the -City of Iowa City and therefore chose not to
forward a specific recommendation. The City Council con-
curred.with the Conmission in this matter. Therefore,'the
Staff has not reviewed the final plat and recommends that
the Commission forward to the Council a similar comment as
that with the preliminary plat.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 22, 1982
To: Planning & Zoning Commission, City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Zoning Ordinance Amendment
The purpose of this proposed amendment is to prohibit cars from parking in
front yards other than in the driveway or on paved areas. The Legal
Department believes that the existing provision of the zoning ordinance is
not specific enough to prohibit parking in other areas of the yard.
The attached amendment will clarify the restriction and permit the City to
enforce the zoning ordinance when cars are parked in the front yard other
than on the paved parking area or in driveway.

Dear Bernie:
April 7, 1981
Because of coursework and the fact that I will be
working in Des Moines this summer, with this letter I am
resigning from the Riverfront Commission.
I have enjoyed my work with you on the Commission.
During the time I've spent with you, other commission
members and staff I have found your dedication heartening.
The road that the Commission has chosen to follow over
the next couple of years --to gain conservation easements
along the Iowa River Corridor-- seems exciting, challenging,
and a particularly needed course of action. I hope
success for you on this undertaking.
I'm turning into Karen most of the materials I have
accumulated over the past year and a half, including minutes
of Commission meetings, which would seem particularly useful to the
next person who occupies my position.
I look forward to reading of your success story with
gaining conservation easements in the papers over the
next year or two. Good luck!
Sincerely,
700

Building restoration Gr�Ns Program

Dennett and Robert Ryan.
Despite recent federal funding cutbacks that eliminated the
popular restoration grants-in-aid program for National Register
properties, several project grants administered through this office
are still in progress and show great promise for historic preserva-
tion in Iowa. Particularly noteworthy is the project for the Bloom-
field Square Historic District. Citizens of Bloomfield, the Davis
County seal (population 2,700), are witnessing a restoration of
many buildings around the square which surrounds the pictur-
esque, Second Empire style courthouse.
The Bloomfield project calls attention to more than the preserva-
tion of a nineteenth-century town square. It demonstrates how
unified community action will achieve greater results over the in-
dividual efforts of a single building owner. In this case, members
of the Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce, headed by Peter Bur-
chelle, president of the Exchange Bank, have banded together in
an effort to enhance the appearance of downtown Bloomfield and
stimulate business activity at the same time. The chamber of com-
merce received a federal Historic Preservation Fund grant from the
division for $86,000 in 1980. This the merchants are overmatching,
making for a total of about 5170,000 in project costs. Bloomfield's
merchants have hired local contractors to perform the work which
will be completed by the end of next summer.
Some of the buildings being restored, many dating from the
nineteenth century, include a shoe store, a county agency for the
aging, a community theater/arts center, a fraternal lodge, law of-
fice, and a real estate office. Altogether at lead 13 buildings will
have preservation work done, ranging from repainting facades
and tuckpointing brick fronts to installing new energy efficient
windows which retain an historical appearance. Historically inap-
propriate remodelings and additions will be removed; deteriorat-
ing detail work on the facades will be repaired or replaced; and
leaks c r other defects in the roof, foundations, or any other critical
area in the buildings will be corrected.
By next fall, the square will boast a clean, richly colored appear-
ance more attractive to shoppers. Moreover, the community thea-
ter will once again be ready to show films and hold plays for the
city. to enjoy.
Numerous other noteworthy grant projects have been com-
pleted in the past year. The division would like to commend the
following and all grant recipients as well as those who have com-
pleted preservation projects with private resources. Some of these
projects include:
The Rosenfield House, Sherman Hill Historic District, Des
Moines.
This Queen Anne style house, with colonial and olherarchitec-
lural features is owned by Charles Camp and Claudia Cackler.
Grant work included repair and replacement of worn sections of
the wooden shingle roof and the installation of new clapboard sid-
ing in place of rotted portions. Newgullers and downspouts were
installed to retard further roof deterioration, and the crumbling
chimney was repaired. Exterior repainting restored the house to
its 1878 appearance. The property is being used as a multifamily,
owner -occupied house. Federal grant, $5,600.
Castle on the Hill, Sioux City High School, Sioux City.
The Castle on the Hill Association, made up of Sioux City resi-
dents, implemented one phase of an ambitious reuse project of a
massive 1891 masonry but ding, the former high school. A grant
permitted the first steps toward rehabilitating the ground floor
rooms. The building's antiquated healing system was replaced,
the deteriorated roof was repaired, proper flashings were in-
stalled, and broken, deteriorated windows were either fixed or re-
placed. The "castle" is now well on its way toward becoming a self-
supporting community center. Federal grant, $44,550.
Fire Station #4, Des Moines.
Another imaginative adaptive reuse idea was to convert a 1907
fire station (changed from horse-drawn to motor apparatus in
1919) into a meeting area for charitable organizations and an apart-
ment for its owner, Reverend Chester Guinn, who won a legal
contest to prevent the structure's demolition. The grant work in-
cluded repair of the leaking roof, tuckpointing of the brick ex-
terior, and reconstruction of the front arch entrance. Federal
grant, $10,825.
St. Paul's German Methodist Episcopal Church, Burlington.
The Art Guild of Burlington, Inc., also has successfully accom-
plished an adaptive reuse grant project. The work included
tuckpointing the stone church, shingling part of the steeple, tower
woodwork and general steeple repair, and laying new stone en-
trance steps. The building contains an art exhibit, accommodates
classes for various arts activities, and is proving to be an enduring
community facility. Federal grant, $33,800.
Old Mill House, Cody Road Historic District, Le Claire.
The Cody Road district, in this Scott County town, calls to mind
the steamboat era on the Mississippi River. Nineteenth-century
owner). 1V. Van Sant, a pilot and captain, and Sam Van Sant lived
here at the Old Mill House at a time when at least 20 steamboat
captains resided in Le Claire. Sam Van Sant invented the stem
wheel log rafting ship. Current owner Christopher Enscy has re-
habilitated the 1852 house by repairing and rebuilding the win-
dows using original glazing patterns and mullions, and re -siding
the house with the original size clapboard. It now houses an apart-
ment, the owner's real estate office, and a community art gallery.
Federal grant, $5,126.
Former U.S. Post Office, Senior Citizens Center, Iowa City.
The city of lova City acquired and converted the 1909 post office
into a multipurpose senior citizens center. This imaginative and
highly successful project has made the facility useful once again.
The old post office section now serves as administrative offices,
cafeteria, meeting and recreation areas, a medical office for the res-
idents, and other related functions. The building has undergone
extensive masonry restoration, and the deteriorated roof was re-
placed with a new one of sheet metal. Doors and windows were
replaced or repaired, and the interior lobby was restored. The di-
rector of the senior citizens center now occupies the postmaster's
old office. An adjoining addition holds the living quarters for
senior citizens. Federal grant, $73,0(10.

Preservation efforts in Iowa in the past year have yielded a
number of survey and planning studies. Although planners for
each project faced situations as unique as each community or
locale, all studies focused on increasing sensitivity, to preservation
in community development. Among division -assisted projects
aimed at neighborhood, community, or regional preservation, six
this past year were of particular note.
Davenport
Community leadership has initialed some creative preserva-
tion -related activities in this Mississippi River town. Already
Davenport has 14 structures listed on the National Register and
one National Register district, the Village of East Davenport. In an
effort to identify all of its cultural resources, the city of Davenport,
with division cosponsorship, hired Marlys Svendsen to conduct
a historic sites survey. The results of Svendsen's survey are near-
ing completion, and Davenport will be able to further boast its
proud heritage through a publication due lhisyear.
Already the survey has inspired the city to promote and protect
its own historic resources. Por example, the 1895 city hall was re-
stored and the city converted the historic Collins House into a
senior citizens center. Also by incorporating the views of the city's
historic preservation planner into Davenport's environmental re-
view procedures, the inadvertent destruction of identified histori-
cal properties from new development will be avoided. Civic lead-
ers have also decided to spend a portion of their Community De-
velopment Block Grant funds to NAp low-income owners of his-
torical buildings. Already, about 30 homeowners have received
grants of approximately $1,000 each for exterior facade improve-
ments including 16 which were awarded in 1981. Other stimulants
for preservation include city encouragement for private owners to
take advantage of the 1981 tax act incentives. These and many
otheraclivities have taken place largelyas a result of thesurvey.
Dubuque Lower Main Street Project
Another Mississippi River town with a very successful preserva-
tionprogram is the city of Dubuque. With division assistance the
city unveiled a planning and design study this past fall for the
preservation of the Lower Main Street Historic District. This study
represents a concerted community effort to invest in its own older
buildings. Specific design concepts and recommendations for the
revitalization of Dubuque's original commercial area have been
formulated. The recommendations stress private sector ap-
proaches to preservation in light of the shrinking availability of
state and federal grant assistance. Urban planning consultant
Bruce Kriviskey is the author of the report which is entitled "His-
toric Preservation Planningand Design Study."
Iowa City North Side Survey
This past summer the city of Iowa City's planning staff, with the
division's cooperation, began an intensive survey including photo
documentation and local historical research covering the north
side neighborhood. This area of town exemplifies much of lova
City's diverse ethnic heritage, a heritage ranging from Czechs,
PreservinrtIowa's
Historic Resources
through Community
and Neighborhood
Conservation
Germans, and other central and eastern European nationalities.
An attempt was made to define the borders of part of the north
side called Gooselown. Although intended to last only through
the summer, the survey continued last fall in order to survey other
parts of the city, such as the college town area.
Iowa City has established a task force composed of citizens, local
historians, and appointees from city departments to oversee the
writing of a historic district ordinance and to explore the possibil-
ity of fostering private rehabilitation work. The task force will also
attempt to establish a revolving fund loan program for homeown-
ersand to introduce other protective measures for historic proper-
ties such as demolition regulations and building improvement
permits.
In all, the survey lists fourteen hundred structures. A multiple -
resource National Register nomination was prepared for the most
important structures in the north side.
CIRALG Historical Survey and Outreach Program
The Central Iowa Regional Association of Local Governments
(CIRALG), an eight -county areawide planning agency based in
Des Moines, printed a study discussing its [hive -year architectural
and historical sites survey of those counties served by CIRALG
(Boone, Dallas, Madison, Story, Polk, Warren, Jasper, and Mar-
ion). This study, written by Barbara Beving Long, is called "Home-
town Architecture: Changes in Central Iowa Towns and Farms."
It summarizes the largest survey of its kind ever conducted in
Iowa. (A separate report covering the archaeological survey is
being prepared.) It is a fine educational document which traces the
history of central Iowa through its built environment. That is,
Long discusses the region's various building types in relation to
major historical trends. In all, about ten thousand buildings were
identified in both surveys.
The purpose of the survey and book was to simplify the proce-
dures for environmental impact statements in the region by allow-
ing the CIRALG and Division of Historic Preservation staff to rap-
idly locale in its files those culturally or historically significant
stmclures j:�opardized by federally funded projects. The book also
has been used to encourage preservation efforts in the approxi-
mately one hundred communities served in the CIRALG region.
A historical overview can now be easily incorporated into future
community or regional planning documents.
Area XV Regional Planning Agency Cultural Resources Survey
Year three of this five-year multidisciplinary survey and out-
reach program has just been completed. It is being conducted by
another areawide planning organization, Area XV, which is lo-
cated in Ottumwa in southeastern Iowa. The counties surveyed or
partially surveyed include Van Buren, Lucas, Jefferson, Mahaska,
Wayne, and Appanoose. Those remaining to be surveyed include
Davis, Keokuk, and Wapello counties. The Area XV survey staff,
headed by archaeologist Anion Till, is contacting county conserva-
lion boards, schools, and other groups in an effort to make the sur-
vey more widely known in the region. Staff members have made
numerous presentations to various organizations with the result
that enthusiasm is building as the survey continues.

New Preservat`cn Tax Incentives Bean January 1982
Now that the Reagan administration, through the Department
of the Interior, National Park Service, has included the division's
grants-in-aid program among its budgetary casualties, new tax in-
centives have been designed to stimulate private investment in
historic preservation. These incentives compose part of the
Economic Recovery Act of 1961 (Public Law 97-34). They represent
significant revisions to the historic preservation tax incentives
which were first authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of
1976. The new provisions, known as the investment tax credit
(ITC), are designed to stimulate capital investment in historic
buildings and neighborhoods. The incentives should also provide
impetus for the identification and designation of individual his-
toric buildings, historic commercial districts, and residential
neighborhoods.
Investment Tax Credit for Qualified Rehabilitation
Effective Januar' 1, 1962, the new ITC applied to "qualified re-
habilitation" only, and is structured as follows:
Tax Credits Eligible Properties
25 percent of rehabilitation All "certified historic slruc-
cosls reduced from the amount tures" including commercial,
of taxes owed, plus accelerated industrial, and rental residen-
15-year straight-line deprecia- tial buildings. Certified proper -
tion for adjusted basis of prop- lies are those either on the Na-
erty tional Register, or are National

costs reduced from the amount Structures at least 40 years
of taxes owed, plus accelerated old not listed on the National
15 -year straight-line deprecia- Register, includes commercial
tion for adjusted basis of prop- and industrial properties only,
erty with 15 -year lessees. Residen-
15 percent of rehabilitation tial rentals not included.
costs reduced from the amount Structures 30 to 39 years old
of taxes owed, plus accelerated not listed on the National Re -
15 -year straight-line deprecia- gister, includes commercial
lion for adjusted basis of prop- and industrial properties only,
erty with 15 -year lessees. Residen-
tial rentals not included.
What Investment Tax Incentives Mean
This type of lax incentive is subtracted directly from taxes due.
It encourages investments because property owners are entitled
to an immediate dollar -for -dollar recovery of expenses for sub-
stantial rehabilitation work. Two points to remember in consider.
ing this incentive: (1) a qualified rehabilitation must be under-
taken, that is, a building in use before the rehabilitation began
which retains at least 75 percent of the existing exterior walls; (2)
the costs of the rehabilitation must be greater than the "adjusted
basis" to qualify as substantial. "Adjusted basis" includes the
value of the building (exclusive of the value of the land) plus im-
provements. Allowable rehabilitation time is normally two years,
but in some instances can be extended to 60 months.
What Accelerated Depreciation Means
Depreciation refers to the loss in value of a business investment
properly from age and use. Formerly, a property owner could de-
duct this loss in value (based upon an IRS determination) as a busi-
ness expense. The Economic Recovery Act has substituted this
with the Accelerated Cost Recovery System which is applicable to
both new and old buildings. This system permits the recovery of
capital costs, using straight-line or accelerated methods over a 15.
year period. This can be extended to a 35- or 45 -year period if de-
sired.
Examples
In the case of a $100,000 certified rehabilitation, $25,000 (or 25%)
may be deducted from taxes owed under the ITC. In addition, the
full $100,000 of rehabilitation expenditure can be depreciated for
a historic structure. The procedure is similar in the case of those
using the 20 percent or 15 percent credit for rehabilitation. The
only difference is that the value of (lie ITC cannot be depreciated.
Only the amount remaining after the lax deduction can be depre-
ciated. Hence, a $100,000 rehabilitation of a 40 -year-old building
can deduct $20,000 (207) for the ITC, but only $60,000 can be de-
preciated.
What Buildings Qualify
Under current law, an owner may qualify for the 25 percent ITC
if the properly is a "Certified Historic Structure." This may be
achieved if the building is on the National Register of Historic
Places or is included in a National Register of Historic Places dis-
trict or a locally certified historic district. Properties in these dis-
tricts must be certified as contributing to the significance of the dis-
trict. All historic rehabilitation work under this 25 percent category
must be reviewed and approved by the Iowa Division of Historic
Preservation and the Department of the Interior.
This article is intended to give the reader a general notion of the
lax benefits designed to encourage historic preservation. It is not
an inclusive summary of the act. For questions or further informa-
tion, contact the division.
The 1981 Tax Act:
A Developer's View
Ralph Gross
The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1961 may be the best historic
preservation legislation of the past ten years perhaps ever. In the
past most preservation projects in Iowa were undertaken in the
name of aesthetics, architecture, and cultural heritage. Seldom
was investment economics considered. When it was, it became
clear that preservation projects had a difficult time from a tax
standpoint, competing in the marketplace for developers' dollars
against new construction. Herein lies the tax act's significance—
historic preservation now not only makes economic sense, it can
be competitive with new construction.
What the act has done is to eliminate the tax distinction between
new and existing real estate. Now they are treated equally. The act
does this most importantly by producing a 25 percent investment
tax credit for rehabilitation of depreciable historic properties un-
dergoing certified rehabilitation. For a developer of residential
and/or commercial property listed on the National Register, the act
will have va rying effect upon future preservation activities.
Development Potential
The previous tax law (prior to January 1, 1962) allowed owners
to, over a 60 -month period, write off as depreciation theircertified
rehabilitation costs—a tax shelter that fostered investment. With
the reduction in the maximum lax rate from 70 percent to 50 per-
cent, however, the appeal of tax shelters has reduced, and inves-
tors have become increasingly interested in projects that show
promise of large cash returns before taxes. Thus, residential prop-
erty, which historically has had lowercash return than commercial
properties, will most likely be the second choice of developers.
(Residential properly lends to be less flexible to changing
economic conditions.) Conversely, commercial structures located
in historic districts will be prime development targets under the
new late. In addition, there may be increased pressure to convert
residential property to commercial use in order to provide for a
cash Row before the tax advantage is realized.
Project Financing
The financial markets have undergone a revolution during the
past three years. The once reliable fixed-rate mortgage may be
gone forever. The traditional sources of financing large projects,
insurance companies and pension funds, are frequently demand-
ing part ownership as a condition to making a fixed rale invest-
ment in order to have a hedge against subsequent inflation and ris-
ing interest rates. This forces the developer, in part, to become a
"builder fora fee."Savings banks, commercial banks, and savings
and loan institutions are also coping with future uncertainties by
writing shorter and shorter mortgage instruments with

Good News foi. he National Relister Program
Despite rumors to the contrary, Iowa's National Register pro-
gram is alive, well, kicking, and once again accepting nomina-
tions. The last several months have been ones of change and trans-
ition for the popular program, but it now appears to be gearing up
for increased activity. Several problems had hampered Iowa's pro-
gram since August 1979, when the division lost its authority to em-
ploy a full-time coordinator for the program. The person had been
responsible for handling inquiries, doing additional research
when necessary, and generally shepherding nominations through
the various hurdles required to get a property enrolled on the Na-
tional Register of Historic Places. Consequently a large backlog of
nominations accumulated in division files. In recent months how-
ever, the staff, with able assistance from various quarters, has
cleared up much of the backlog. This spring the division will be
hiring a National Register coordinator, enabling us to handle an
anticipated higher volume of nominations in a more timely fash-
ion.
The National Register program has also been hampered by
changes at the federal level. When Congress reauthorized the his-
toric preservation program in the fall of 1980, the new law con-
tained a provision requiring owner concurrence before a privately
owned property could be nominated and listed on the register. Be-
cause of the need to rewrite existing regulations due to this
change, the National Register office in Washington imposed a
freeze on all nominations of privately owned properties. What
originally had been proposed as a two-month hiatus soon turned
intoa year-long one. Due to the change in administrations, there
was a freeze on federal role making, the dissolution of the Heri-

tage Conservation and Recreation Service and the return of its pro-
grams to the National Park Service. Finally, late in November
1981, the necessary regulations were promulgated, and we were
allowed to forward nominations for privately owned properties to
Washington again.
Due to the freeze on nominations, the only Iowa buildings en-
tered on the Register in 1981 were structures owned by local gov-
ernments. The new entries included a public library, two jails, a
school, an opera house, a combination city hall -fire station, and
50courthouses.
The listing of the courthouses was particularly satisfying for the
division. Initialed and largely completed by Martha Sowers before
she left the division in 1980, these buildings were nominated not
individually but as thematic resource group. The group nomina-
tion, which was the outgrowth of a statewide survey of lova
courthouses, included 71 buildings erected between 1850 and
1930. Twenty-one courthouses were already listed on the National
Register, either individually oras apart of historic districts. Iowa's
county courthouses are the physical manifestation of the growth,
development, and continuing vitality of county government in the
stale. They achieve local significance both as historical symbols
and, in many instances, as important architectural elements with-
in their counties and communities. Scattered broadly across the
state, these buildings represent architectural styles ranging from
the Greek Revival to Art Deco/Moderne, with most examples
being from the Romanesque Revival, Neoclassical Revival, and
Beaux Arts.

West Eighth Street Bridge.
Newlon, Jasper Count%
Although we regret that the bridge was disassembled,
feasibility studies demonstrated that there was no prudent
alternative to demolition because widening the concrete
rainbow arch structure would have been impossible. Such
an action would have greatly altered file bridge's appear-
ance. It was one of approximately one dozen bridges of its
kind in Iowa. Designed by Marsh Engineering Company of
Des Moines for file Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail-
road in 1927, it was an important structural form in the de-
velopment of reinforced concrete technology.
Pacific Short Line Bridge.
(Sioux City Combination Bridge)
Sioux City, Woodbury County.
Built in 1896, the 1,900 -foot bridge represented a crown.
ing nineteenth-century engineering achievement. The
Pacific Short Line was the second bridge to carry railroad
lrafficat Sioux City across the Missouri River into Nebraska.
Asa combination bridge, it served the dual function of hold-
ing horses and pedestrians in addition to railroads. It was
designed by the world famous engineer, John A. L. Wad-
dell. The bridge was demolished in 1980 and replaced with
a modern bridge nearby. For more information on the
bridge, see "Spanning the Missouri," the Palinilsesi, Janu-
ary/February 1981.
Kilbourn Methodist Church.
Kilbourn, Van Buren County.
The Area XV Regional Planning Commission cultural re-
sources survey identified this structure as one of the most
architecturally significant buildings in Kilbourn. Its well-
proportioned frame design lent an air of restraint and quiet
elegance. Triangular pedimenled windows, fishscale
shingling and the central spire composed the major visual
elements. In 1980 the owners deemed the 1889 church a fire
hazard and proceeded to dismantle it.
Andrew F. Cassel House.
Lockridge Township, Jefferson County
Built in the 1860s, this farm residence stood as a proud re-
minder of the first Swedish settlement in the United States.
Peter Cassel, Andrew's father, led the migration to Jeffer-
son County in 1845 which became known as New Sweden.
Like his fabler, Andrew became an influential leader in the
region. I hs home was the scene of New Sweden's golden
anniversary celebration. The current owner dismantled the

WhillemoreTownship, KossouthCounty.
This was one of the prime examples identified in the divi-

acre farm, it was mainly used to accommodate his dairy
herd. The perfect cylinder barn was 50 feel in diameter; its
eaves were IS feet above the ground. A 1916 Wallace's Farm-
er called it "one of the neatest and best barns" they had in-
spected. The barn burned to lheground in April 1981.
Volunteer Fire Department Engine House
1208 First Street, Perry, Dallas County.
Fund raising and the construction of this 1905 brick struc-
ture was an exclusively local endeavor. Perry citizens do-
nated money; and the firemen made the tvindows and sash.
The tall, polygonal hose -drying tower was its most notable
feature. The fire house acquired National Register status in
1978. Two years later the First National Bank of Perry outbid
a local group dedicated to saving the building and de-
molished it to make way for a parking lot and a small green
space.
Banker's Trust Building.
605 Locust Street, Des Moines, Polk County.
The Banker's Trust Building ranked as one of the state's
most striking commercial landmarks. Built in Romanesque
Revival style, it called attention to the influence of one of
America's foremost architects, Henry Hobson Richardson,
whose buildings popularized this style. Unfortunately, ef-
forts by various Des Moines groups failed to save the 1911
structure from demolition. It was razed in 1980. A nonde-

Built in 1856 by Henry Russell, an early Davis County set-

crumbling structure is no longer feasible to restore. In 1981
thestruclure was documented in accordance with specifica-
tions set forth by the National Architectural and Engineer-

Among the more recent N.ahonaI Regis ler entries from Iowa are
H houses in Mason CRY that represent a cross section of Prairie
School, and Prairie School -influenced, residential architecture

1980 Bracket), One Frank Lloyd Wright designed, and another is
the work of a %\'right sludcnt, %Villianh Drummond. The remaining
dozen, built between 1912 and 1922, illustrate, in their varied
forms and levels of sophistication, the significant impact of Frank
Lloyd Wright and the prairie School on local Mason City builders,
archilecls, a nd Iheirclienls. (photos by Ronald Schmilt)
William Drummond's Yelland house (37 River I leights Drive)
was clearly the model for an unknown architect's Gibson house
(1 14 Fourth Street NW). Similarities include second -stun' winduW
placement, treatment of the front porch, and the framing of the
side entrance between square posts and sidelights.
Mason City architect Einar Oroaten's Meir Wolf house (811
North Adams) is most distinctive. Note the applied geometric or-
nament and curious "pincers" at the corners of the roof.
The Franke house (320 First Street SE) (architect unknown) pre-
sents a rather severe appearance due to the removal of its original
wide, overhanging roof. However, the overall form, window dec-
oration, and arrangement are in keeping with common Prairie
Style usage.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Stockman house (311 First Street SE) was
based upon his "fireproof house for 55,000" featured in the April
1907issue of the Ladies f tome(ownnf. Its form, roof, shape, window
treatment, and emphasis on the corners through the application
of Oat wood strips arc all distinctive features of Wright's work al
this time. They are also found in many other prairie Style houses
in Mason Ci tv.

Eroaten. The turned -up eaves of the front porch and garage gables
are found in many of 8roaten's Works, perhaps derived from the
Page house in Rock C rest/Rock Glen.
Although the designer(s) is unknown, the Shipley and
Youngblood houses (114 Third Street NW, 36 Oak Drive) have
many things in comnnun. Note the nearly square main block, with
low projections to each side. Second -story windows are located
near the corners, while those of the first story are grouped in a
band in the centerof the facade.
Chris Rve, like Einar limalen, was a native of Norway. A local
builder, Rve worked on a nu mber of Prairie Style houses in ,Mason
City, including the Norris/Patton house (108 Fourth Street NE).
The slvle seemed to appeal to him—he designed and built the
house un the right (630 East State) for himsel f in 1912.
Mason City builder Fred Lippert's duplexes are perhaps the
simplest and most utilitarian of this group. But their Prairie Style
origins are evident: Inv, spreading roo(lines, and second -story
windows tucked high beneath the eaves (122-4 North Madison;
404.12 First Street NW; 687.91 East Slate).
Fred Lippert built the Romey house (428 First Street SE) from
designs by A. Felt, a Kansas City architect who worked briefly in
Mason City after World War I. This house is unusual in that the
exterior is wholly of brick, and, apart from the wooden trellis on
one side, displays none of the ornament or detail characteristic of
so many of Mason City's Prairie Style houses.

A New 'rogram: "Iowa Art i.itecture"
A program to acquaint Iowans with their architectural heritage
was presented in 15 Iowa cities during 1981. The project -called
'Iowa Architecture'—was sponsored by the Division of Historic
Preservation and the Iowa Humanities Board, a state program of
the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Architectural photographer Gerald Mansheim served as project
director and produced three slide -cassette shows presenting the
rich variety of Iowa architecture. Visuals were chosen not only for
their architectural and historical value, but also on their aesthetic
merit. Both modern photographs and copies of historic pictures
were used. Most of the larger cities in Iowa and nearly all of the
counties are represented. The scripts, which were written by Man-
sheim, emphasize bath the merits of modern architecture and the
importance of preserving older structures.
The three slide -cassette shows prepared for the project deal
with different approaches to Iowa architecture. The first show de-
picts. Iowa architecture in a historical context—early settlement
through the present. The second deals with architectural types,
styles, and materials. The third concerns itself with historic preser-
vation in Iowa. It deals with buildings that have been lost,
threatened, and saved, and individual buildings that have been
restored.
A total of approximately 1,450 persons attended the free public
performances given in Ames, Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Council
Bluffs, Davenport, Decorah, Des Moines, Dubuque, Fort Dodge,
Iowa CityKeokuk, Marshalltown, Mason City, Muscatine, and
Sioux City. At each program, one or more of the slide shows was
presented and a lecture was given by a historian or an expert on
historic preservation.
Adrian D. Anderson, state historic preservation officer for Iowa,
served as one of 12 advisers to the project. He also spoke at the
Fort Dodge presentation. He thanked the members of the audi-
ence who had participated in preservation work in that city and
encouraged others to do so. He discussed the responsibilities of
his office and the special work in preservation that needs to be
done in Iowa. His aims are ecological, especially in terms of pre-
serving our cultural resources and the energy embodied in exist-
ing buildings. His goals are not to preserve just a few excellent ex-
amples of historic architecture in this state, but to give Iowans the
help they need to save their material culture. Other members of
the Division of Historic Preservation staff participated in the pro-
gram. Elizabeth Voss served as assistant project directorand proj-
ect secretary. Ralph Christian, Lowell Soike, and Jack Lufkin par-
ticipated as advisers.
Buildings which are themselves architecturally significant
hosted three of the performances. Shows were given in the Old
Jail Gallery, an Egyptian Revival style jail in Dubuque; in the Des
Moines Public Library, which is in the Classical Revival style; and
in the Woodbury County Courthouse in Sioux City, which is one
of the largest public buildings ever built in the Prairie School style.
Many of the programs were also given in art centers, some of
which arranged exhibitson architectural themes.
Two articles were published in connection with the project. A
12 -page article about the Woodbury County Courthouse, entitled
"William Steel's Silent Music," appeared in the March/April 1981
Palimpsest, the popular history magazine of the State Historical So-
ciety of lova. Gerald Mansheim provided the photographs for the
article. William Silag, editor of the palimpsest and one of the partici-
pants in the "Iowa Architecture" project wrote the text. The June
28,1981, Des Moines Sunday Register's Picture Magazine ran an arti-
cle and color photographs by Gerald Mansheim entitled "Tire
Prairie School in Iowa."
Gerald Mansheim has been photographing the architecture of
Iowa and the Midwest for more than 20 years, with particular em-
phasis on the Prairie School movement. He conceived the "Iowa
Architecture" project as a means of making information and visual
materials on architecture available to the adult general public. He
feels that architecture has been neglected—perhaps because it is
not taught in the schools—but that it should receive the same rec-
ognition as other fine arts, such as painting, sculpture, and music.
He also believes that as we are planning to conserve natural re-
sources, we should devote more thought to the preservation of
cultural resources.
Some of the most distinguished buildings in Iowa are featured
in the shows, for instance, the Woodbury County Courthouse; the
bank by Louis Sullivan in Grinnell; the Blythe and Melson houses
in Mason City; the Langworthy octagon house in Dubuque; the
Old Dubuque County Jail; the Valley National Bank of Des
Maines; the Episcopal Church in Davenport; the Walter housL,
Quasquelon designed by Frank Lloyd Wright; the Creston Depot;
the Grotto of the Redemption, West Bend; the Onawa Public Li-
brary; Old Capitol in Iowa City; and the Eagle Point Park Complex,
Dubuque.
Although the schedule of public programs has been completed,
copies of the three slide -cassette shows have been donated to vari-
ous Iowa organizations and are available for loan. Both individuals

Brucemore, Iowa's First
National Trust Property
PS';Sy Whitworth
Brucemore, the estate of the ]ale Margaret and Howard Hall in
Cedar Rapids, became the newest property of the National Trust
for Historic preservation in July 1981. It is the first properly in Imva
owned by the National Trust, and one of the few in the Midwest.
Operated on a coslewardship basis, Brucemore is managed by a
board of trustees comprised of Cedar Rapids community leaders.
The National Trust provides the board with technical expertise.
Unlike other Trust properties, Brucemore is being operated as a
community center rather than as a house museum.
Contemporaries described the 1885 Queen Anne style mansion
as "the finest house west of Chicago." The original 11 -acre estate
now contains a formal garden, orchard, duck pond, swimming
pool, and six outbuildings on the 26 -acre grounds. Designed by
the Cedar Rapids architectural firm of Josselyn and Taylor for T.
M. Sinclair (a Cedar Rapids meat packing plant operator), the
mansion has 2l major rooms plus an attic and basement.
Until 1906, when the Sinclairs traded houses with the George
13. Douglas family who had been living al800Second Avenue, the
estate was known as the Sinclair Mansion. The Dougland
nd
their three daughters, Margaret, Ellen, and Barbaro, made several
changes in the mansion, including moving the main entrance from
the north to the south side of the house, and adding butternut
paneling and ceili ng beams on the main floor. During this lime the
estate became known as Brucemore. The first time Douglas saw
the estate, he was reminded of the moors in Scotland, his home-
land. lie combined his middle name with a changed spelling of
moor to form the name Brucemore.
Al the time of Mrs. Douglas' dealh in 1937, the eldest daughter,
Margaret, and her husband, !inward (tall, a well-known
businessman and philanthropist, moved into the mansion. Mrs.
Hall lived at Brucemore until her death in March of 1981. There-
fore, only two families a ctually lived in the home in the nearlyone
hundred ymrs of Brucemore's life.
It was Mrs. Hall's desire that the estate remain intact and be
used by the people of th3.,KVa. Based on this wish, she considered
severaj options before oequest to the National Trust. Along
with the estate, she generously left an endowment to provide for
its basic operationand maintenance.
Since July the board has been managing the transition of Bruce -
more from private estate to public facility. Ranging from better
traffic and parking arrangements to fire safely to lighting the
grounds, the process will be carried out over a five-year period.
Although the estate is not vel fully operational as a community
cultural center, thousands have already loured the mansion and
grounds, and a total of 18 events took place the first 20 days of De-
cember. The number of visitors and events probably will increase
during the spring and summer when the grounds and gardens
make Brucemore even more active.
At all times the board of trustees and staff are sensitive to Bruce-
more's visual and historic integrity. Hence, any alterations are
made with theapproval of the National Trust architect. Rooms on
the second and third floors will be adapted as meeting rooms and
office space for nonprofit groups.
Brucemore is in the heart of Cedar Rapids, but it maintains re-
markable sense of distance from the city. This makes the estate an
especially attractive location for conferences and seminars held by
institutions and businesses. In Mrs. Hall's will, civic, charitable,
educational, religious, and scientific organizations were men-
tioned specifically as appropriate to hold events at Brucemore.
Through the current membership campaign, provisions were
made to allow use of the estate by businesses.
Brucemore, as seen from one of Cedar Rapids's busiest streets,
has long been a source of curiosity to passersby. With its new life,
the Board of Trustees of Brucemore, Inc. and the National Trust
for Historic preservation both hope that Brucemore will serve as
a catalyst for other preservation projects in eastern Iowa.
Tours of the estate are arranged by appointment. For informa-
tion on tours or use of the estate, call (319)362-6652.
Historic Preservation Workshop
in Cedar Rapids on
May 3-4,1982
An intensive "hands-on" workshop is being planned at Bruce -
more, in Cedar Rapids, in connection with the national Historic
Preservation Week, May 34, 1982.
The workshop is organized by Architecture Extension of the
Iowa State University, and cosponsored by the Brucemore Board
of Directors and the Iowa Division of Historic Preservation, in
cooperation with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and
the Association for Preservation Technology.
The workshop program will include detailed studies of the
buildings and landscaping at the site, and instruction in tech-
nologies pertaining to preservation of exterior and interior mate-
rials, use of photography and measuring techniques in preserva-
tion, and financing and management of historic properties. In-
structors will include naliona]Iyand regionally known specialists.
The workshop is intended for both general public and profes-
sionals, and work sessions will be tailored to the intergsls of the
participants.

Arts Council Plans Folk Arts Exhibit
The Iowa Arts Council is now in the process of assembling mate-
rial for a set of exhibits celebrating the diverse folk arts of Iowa.
These exhibits will offer the best available works representing the
many cultural traditions of the slate.
The council invites interested persons to inform folklorist Ste-
ven Ohm of folk art in private or public collections. Steven also
is compiling a list of living folk artists whose work may be consid-
ered for inclusion in the proposed exhibits. To be considered for
the arts council's exhibit, an object should have been made by
(rand primarily for the aesthetic satisfaction and delight of its
maker and audience. The exhibit will be limited to arts learned
traditionally, thereby excluding arts and crafts revived by institu-
tional classes and pattern books.
The arts council is also seeking photographs of folk art and art-
ists. In addition to the exhibit and listing, the arts council plans to
enlist persons knowledgeable about various arts and crafts who
may serve as advisers to this project and appreciates suggestions.
Anyone wishing to participate in this discovery process will as-
sist the Imva Arts Council by sending the following information:
—Name of Artist or Collector
—Address and Telephone
—Description of Objecl(s) (material, form, how made, and size)
—A photograph or slide would be very helpful.

Montauk and the Clermont Historical Sites
The Division of Historic Preservation operates three sites at
Clermont. They are Montauk, the one-time home of William Lar-
rabee who was governor of Iowa from 1886 to 1890; the Union Sun-
day School, which was built in 1857, and the Clermont Museum,
a small school museum which was established in 1912. A portion
of their current operating funds has been made available through
a grant from the Institute of Museum Services, a federal agency
that offers operating and program support to the nation's
museums.
Al Montauk, the William Larrabee papers have been cataloged
and are available to qualified researchers by appointment. This
collection includes letters from 1854 to 1912, Mr. Larrabee's diary
from the 1850s, copies of his many speeches, and other documents
relating to business ventures and politics of the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries.
The restoration of the Union Sunday School organ, a Kimball
tubular pneumatic pipe organ, which was installed in 1886, has
been successfully completed with the aid of a grant from the fed-
eral government and a gift from the Larrabec family. This rare type
of organ has received much attention from the public. The most
notable events were the well -attended Artists Series of recitals
sponsored by the Clermont Historical Society with nine perfor-
mances to date. Recitalists have conte from Iowa, neighboring
stales, and one from Spain.
The Clermont Museum was established in the Clermont Public
School in 1912, a gift from the Larrabee family to the local commu-
nity. Mr. Larrabee fell that leachers should have tangible objects
to illustrate points relating to history, art, and the sciences. One
of the nine classrooms in the school was designated a museum,
furnished with artifacts donated by the Larrabee family and
friends. In 1970 the school officials fell that it was not serving a use-
ful purpose and that the space could be better used as a classroom.
At this time, Mrs. A. W. Allen of Cedar Rapids purchased the
former Citizens Slate Bank Building in Clermont and the museum
was moved to that location. In 1976 the Clermont Museum was
given to the stale of Iowa by the Larrabee family. Today it serves
about 50 Iowa schools each year. In addition to the cases of ar-
lifacls which are exhibited as they were in 1912; a small special
exhibit arca is reserved for an interpretive exhibit which is
changed each year. The theme for 1981 was "The Louisiana Pur-
chase."
In 1982 Montauk will be open every day from 12:00 noon In 5:00
p.m., except Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 'Memorial Day
weekend until mid-October. The Clermont Museum will be open
weekends and holidays from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. The Union
Sunday recitals are held on the last Sunday afternoon of each
month at 2:30 p.m. from February through October. Special group
reservations are accepted at all sites by appointment and at times
not regularly open. For group reservations, write: Montauk, Box

National Trumnounces Major Cutbacks
and Campaign against Administration
Historic Preservation Policies
Washington, D.C., January 18, 1982—Responding to antici-
pated administration attempts to eliminate future preservation
funding and a reduction in its fiscal year 1982 matching grant from
file Department of Interior, Michael L. Ainslie, president of the
National Trust for Historic Preservation, announced today that its
board of trustees has cut its current programs by Sl million.
Two properties of the National Trust, Lyndhurst in Tarrytown,
N.Y., and Cliveden in Philadelphia, are being closed to daily visi-
tors. The federal cutback will mean a reduction of 21 full-time staff,
a significant decrease in membership development efforts, and a
curtailment of support to historic preservation education pro-
grams at elementary and high schools, colleges, and universities.
The two National Trust properties in Washington, D.C., Decatur
house and Woodrow Wilson house, are being closed to daily visi-
tors until March. The National Trust's library, an important source
of information and assistance, is under review and might also be
closed to the public.
In a related move, the board of trustees look action to retain his-
toric preservation as a national priority and to oppose furthercuts
in the federal budget for historic preservation and housing and
urban development programs which support preservation goals.
Al a December 17, 1981, meeting Secretary of the Interior James
G. Wall told Trust management there would be zero funding for
the National Trust and the stales' historic preservation programs
which support the National Register of Historic Places. Citing the
Trust's responsibility to provide strong leadership for the historic
preservation movement during this critical period, the board ap-
proved an aggressive campaign against current preservation poli-
cies of the adminislralion, particularly the Department of Interior.
"The public's interest in our historic heritage is being hurl by
these cuts, not just the National Trust, said Mr. Ainslie. "For over
30 years, the National Trust has been working to protect America's
heritage, its historic properties, neighborhoods, cities, and rural
communities, and to involve all segments of American society in
this effort. At a time when preservation has proven itself to be a
practical solution to problems of unemployment, poor housing,
energy conservation, blighted and depressed inner cities and
small towns, and given the potential for using the new rehabilita-
tion tax incentives, these cuts are especially painful. The trust's
ability to inform and involve the private sector is being seriously
compromised; the National Register of Historic Places' nomina-
tion and lax certification processes are being seriously threatened
by culling off funds to the stales. When historic buildings are lost,
our communities and our future are that much poorer," Mr.
Ainslie continued.
The National Trust is the only national private, nonprofit mem-
bership organization dedicated to the protection of the country's
historic and architectural heritage. It was chartered by Congress
in 1949 and charged with the responsibility of encouraging the
public's participation in the preservation of architecturally and
historically significant buildings and districts from America's past.
The Historic Preservation Fund was established by Congress in
1976 with income from fees charged for offshore oil leases. The
fund provides matching grants to the National Trust, and to all 50
slates and U.S. territories to survey districts, buildings, and sites
for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, to maintain
and rehabilitate historic properties, and to educate and inform the
public. The federal partnership for historic preservation dales
back to 1966 when Congress first appropriated funds for the Na-
tional Trusl and the slates.
The administration proposed the total elimination of the state
grant-in-aid program in FY -1982 which had been $27.8 million in
FY -1981. For FY -1982, Congress restored $21 million for the states
and $4.4 for t he Na tional Tnrst.

Preservo, on Makes Good Sens*n Opinion
At the request of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation,
the Public Administration Service recently printed an issue paper
on federalism and preservation prepared by Robert R. Fredlund,
director of the Task Force on Federalism and Preservation. The
Public Administration Service is a nonprofit organization dedi-
cated to public sector improvement. The following excerpts are re-
sponses to questions raised in light of funding cutbacks and in
view of concerns for hose to meet federal and stale preservation
needs in the context of the Reagan administration's "New
Federalism."
Federalism and the National
Preservation Program
Federalism is a concept as old as our nation and as current as
today's newspaper. The idea that the proper level of government
should be responsible for the appropriate level of activities cur-
rently is beingexamined throughout government.
The national preservation program should be made an impor-
tant aspect of this reevaluation. This new look at federalism and
preservation is even more timely, because of the recently enacted
1980 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act of
1966...
Why Preservation Makes Good
Sense in Today's Setting
First, historic preservation stresses the wise and effective reuse
of existing resources. Making full and effective use of what we al-
ready have certainly is an important theme of the administration.
Despite this emphasis, 620,000 housing units are lost each year to
demolition and decay. It is estimated that 24 million properties
exist today which were built prior to 1939, properties which could
add significantly to our nation's building stock. Instead, $.62 of
every building dollar goes to replacing rather than strengthening
our existing built environment. With building starts at under 1 mil-
lion this year, it is obvious that preservation could provide a vital
resource to our nation. Second, historic preservation can be a vital
tool in helping to cope with the critical issue of disappearing farm-
lands. Significant amounts of America's prime farmland are being
sacrificed yearly for urban expansion. Farms are being covered
over by new housing developments built to replace outmoded
homes in town. Pastures are replaced by shopping centers built
to substitute for decaying and abandoned stores in the city center.
By emphasizing continued use and revitalization of the existing
built environment, prime farmland can be maintained in corn or
wheat, not in trailer houses. Increasingly, communities are dis-
covering that wise land use is not a haphazard matter to be left to
chance. By carefully evaluating the land and its capabilities, the
community and its needs, it is possible to determine the best use
for the -component parts of a town. Putting crops where they will
grow and buildings where they will not, is one aspect of this.
Third, historic preservation can contribute to alleviation of our
energy problems. Recent studies by the council show that renova-
tion is far more energy efficient than new construction. This is
especially true when one figures into the equation the embodied
energy of a historic building—Ilse energy required for the original
manufacture and transportation of materials and for the construc-
tion of lire slmclUre—and the energy required for demolition. Ad-
ditionally, structures built before the days of "cheap energy" gen-
erally incorporate such passive solar systems for energy conserva-
tion as attention to exposure, recessed windows, and thick walls.
Active use of the central city consolidates activities, eliminating
the waste of gasoline on long trips to distant shopping and work.
Sewer, water, and transportation systems all are expensive and
necessary adjuncts of urban expansion. However, by depending
upon existing structures, one can rely upon existing utilities, elim-
inating that problem and expense. On the other hand, by not ex-
panding utilities, one avoids needless expansion and urban
sprawl.
Fourth, preservation makes economic sense. Buildings gener-
ally can be renovated more cheaply than they can be built. Struc-
tures that are renovated have far higher property value than those
that are decaying. Communities that have been revitalized are
economically more stable than those that are not.
Additionally, renovation is highly labor intensive. In rehabilita-
tion projects, 75 percent of the investment is in labor costs, as op-
posed to 50 percent in new construction. That is money that stays
in the local economy. Towns benefit, too, as historic structures are
improved, occupied, and made profitable, for increased value
generally means increased properly tax revenues to the local gov-
ernment. Renovation requires far less time than new construction
from initiation to occupancy. Often, buildings can be used during
renovation. This constitutes an important savings to business and
homeowners.
Fifth, preservation is a way for people to have more localconlrol
over their lives and communities, and to reduce federal involve-
ment. Historic preservation is traditionally, and by its very nature,
a local concern. It is the grass-roots interest in saving a significant
local building, monument, or prehistoric site that gives historic
preservation its momentum and its energy. New uses, protection,
and interpretation of historic and prehistoric sites have been
shown many times over to be of substantial economic benefit to
whole communities from attracting tourists to attracting industry.
Many of the problems today associated with urban and rural decay
both stem from and result in a sense of anomie among residents
of communities. As the feeling of neighborhood disappears and
involvement in the community dwindles, crime increases.
Numerous examples have shown that revitalization inspires com-
munity pride, with attendant increase in involvement, self-re-
spect, and concern for neighborhood, and significant decrease in
crime.
.. Thus, the current national preservation program was
founded on a philosophy of federalism. In fact, it might even be
considered a model for federalism, and much of the benefit ac-
crued from the program today, is in keeping with this philosophy.
The 1980 amendments strongly reaffirmed and extended this
bipartisan federalism philosophy and strengthened its application
by broadening the roles of stale and local governments in the part-
nership.

Historic Calaboose Honored
A special ceremony commemorating the Delmar, Iowa,
calaboose was held on a sunny afternoon last November 3. En-
tered on the National Register in 1981, the 103 -year-old jail re-
ceived a plaque identifying its historical importance. This struc-
ture is an outstanding example of vernacular architecture, the di-
mensions of which are formidable: ten by twelve, eight feet high,
with sandstone walls nearly two feet thick. Apparently it
functioned as a sort of "drunk tank." Delmar attracted saloon
keepers and liquor dealers who maintained a thriving business
serving construction and railroad workers. Town citizens de-
manded the jail to assure public safety; inebriates were the usual
residentsof lhecalaboose.
Many of Delmar's leading residents attended the ceremony.
Among them were Marie Farrell of the Clinton County Historical
Society, State Representative Norman Goodwin, a Lions club rep-
resentative, and two clergymen who gave the invocation and ben-
ediction. The elementary school band played "The Star-Spangled
Banner." Ralph Christian of the Division of Historic Preservation
gavea dedication talkand unveiled the plaque.

Sherman Bill Historic District in Des Moines. The district is one
of the city's oldest residential suburbs which has some of Des
Moines' best examples of nineteenth- and twentieth-century ar-
chitecture.
In recent years the neighborhood has undergone significant so-
cial and economic change as new residents move in who are inter-
ested in reinvigorating its flavor and charm. A study entitled
"Sherman Hill Doors to the Past, Windows to the Future" was de-
signed to address problems arising from those changes. It is a mas-
ter plan that identifies key historical architectural and physical at-
tributes, suggests proposals for lire use of vacant land, and offers
several design recommendations for the area's historical stmc-
tures. The plan was prepared by Wehner, Nowysz, Paltschull and
Pfiffner, architects.
Historic 0, ' my Courthouse
Exhibit Available
Last year a thematic group nomination of county courthouses
in Iowa was entered on the National Register of Historic Places.
In all, 71 of the slate's 99 courthouses in use are now designated
as historic sites. In commemoration of these remarkable treasures,
the division has sponsored a traveling exhibit of county court-
house architecture in Iowa. The paneled photographic exhibit
points to significant qualities embodied in Iowa's historic court-
houses, such as architectural detail, form, materials, and interior
features. Dennetl Muessig & Associates, Ltd., of Iowa City, pre-
pared the exhibit for the division.
Plans are being made to show the exhibit at various locations
throughout the stale in places such as courthouses, libraries,
museums, and other public and private gathering places. Any
party interested in a free loan of the exhibit should contact the divi-
sion.
Iowa Chapter, Victorian Society of America
Patrice Kay Beam
Preservation of historic buildings is one of the major purposes
of the Iowa Chapter of the Victorian Society in America. Founded
in November 1979, this organization expounds the virtues of the
nineteenth century by fostering public appreciation, education,
and understanding of the artistic expression of the era known as
the Victorian Age (1837-1901).
The Iowa chapter actively opposes the needless destruction of
important architectural examples of the period and affords advice
to owners and public authorities in regard to the preservation of
Victorian buildings and the uses to which they can, if necessary,
be adapted. The Iowa chapter also has a registered lobbyist at the
stale capitol who keeps the organization abreast of preservation
and historical related legislation.
Another goal of the Iowa chapter is to work with other organiza-
tions having similar purposes. This may entail letter writing cam-
paigns, the supporting of preservation related programs, or
donating to a worthwhile cause, such as the Hoyt Sherman Resto-
ration Fund Drive.
In November 1980, the Iowa chapter was awarded a grant by the
Iowa Humanities Board and the NEH to produce a slide show with
taped commentary entitled lorm's Victorian Architecture front the
Civil Warta f heTurn of the Century.
The main objective of this project was to develop sensitivity to
the importance of preserving Iowa's Victorian past. A copy of this
program, which has thus far been shown to 20 historical related
groups and viewed by an estimated sixteen hundred people, will
soon be available through the Division of Historic Preservation
traveling library.
The Iowa chapter is one of 36 slate and regional chapters affili-
ated with the Victorian Society in America, with its national head-
quarters located in Philadelphia. Iowa chapter officers and board
members regularly attend the annual meetings, symposiums, and
workshops presented by the national at different locations
throughout the country.
The Iowa chapter also helps support the Victorian Society Schol-
arship Fund and several chapter members have been awarded
scholarships to the Victorian Society summer schools held each
yearin Boston and London.
The Iowa chapter holds bimonthly meetings with programs
which have included lectures and slide shows, museum and
house tours, picnics, recitals, and Victorian leas. A recent walking
tour of the Cornell College Historic District proved to be a popular
event, and bus trips to the Omaha/Council Bluffs and Min-
neapolis/St. Paul areas are being planned for the future.

five- to ten-year bTGon payments and some are even indexed to
rising or falling interest rates. Some foreign investors, on the other
hand, have become popular partners in real estate syndication.
This is because, in having no need for immediate financial incen-
tives to defray United Slates taxes, foreign investors want instead
to have developers allow interest on their money to accrue (and
compound) on top of the total mortgage and theycollect their prof-
its once the properly is sold.
All of this, in addition to interest rates in the 17 percent to 18
percent range, will currently have a dampening effect on all proj-
ects. Once interest rates decline, however, areas with historic
buildings will certainly be developed by investors using sophisti-
cated financing methods.
Residential Rental Property
Residential rental property will qualify for the same 25 percent
tax credit as commercial properly. For owners who can afford to
rehabilitate their properly, the tax credit will be a real bonus. But
in general, unless interest rates decline, or property can be pur-
chased at a price significantly below market, or rents can be raised
substantially, the tax act will probably not offer an immediate in-
centive for residential rehabilitation.
Historic Districts
The greatest potential impact of the tax act will be felt in run-
down historic districts. Rehabilitated buildings in these districts
not only offer special tax benefits, but because rehabilitation tends
to cost less than new construction, developers willing to risk refur-
bishing these buildings will find greater potential profits.
The owner of single-family owner -occupied homes will not de-
rive any direct benefit from the tax act, but indirectly the home-
owner will be the beneficiary of increasing values and steady up-
grading of the district. However, owners of large single-family
homes will probably have increasing incentive to convert to multi-
family dwellings where rehabilitation would qualify for the 25 per-
cent taxcredit.
For cities, the tax act provides the economic benefits of helping
to upgrade its tax base, preserving buildings and maintaining
housing stock that a few years ago would certainly have been des-
tined fordemolilion.
