In May of 18'f6, Edwin Bottomley drew plans for the English Settlement Church and construction was begun. The congregation did not have enough money to finish the building as fast as they would have liked, and it was not dedicated until New Year's Day of 1849. In 1916 the original build ing was moved a hundred feet to the north, set upon a basement, and remodeled to its present form. The church is located at the intersection of County Highways A and 3, and it is one of this year's Century Buildings.

This English Cottage Style building was originally an Italianate Style residence, built about 1870 for Robert Hinsdale, a professor at Racine College. It was converted to its present style by William Kissow in the late 1920s. Traces of the Italianate building can be seen in the roofline behind the sloping roof front. It is located at 1618 College Avenue and is one of this year's Century Buildings.

Captain Woolnough was listed as a mariner in the city directories and owned considerable property in the neighborhood. The house will receive a Century Building award, and it is located at 1335 North Main Street. This frame Italianate house was built about 1882 for John T. Went- worth, Judge of the First Judicial Court, and occupied by his family for many years. It was converted to a two family home about I9I0, and restored to its original status recently by the present owners. This house is one that will be listed as a Century Building. It is located at 1700 College Avenue. mp mi^^mmm^mim Paper Preservation On Thursday evening, May 17th, at Jordan Hall, from 6 to 8:30 , James Twomey, proprietor of Book Restoration and Conservation in Kenosha, will conduct a workshop on Paper Preservation for Preser vation-Racine members and friends. Mr. Twomey is a bookbinder and paper conservator and has given numerous lectures, workshops, and courses on related topics. Registration for this workshop can be made with Don Rintz (637-2413). The fee is $12.50 which includes materials. As program chairman, Jan Carter made arrangements for Mr. Twomey's presentation at our February 1989 membership meeting. For those of you who were not able to attend the meeting on that bitterly cold evening and cannot participate in the Preservation Week workshop, Jan has summarized the material presented and we print it below. Mr. Twomey began his lecture by showing examples of different kinds of paper and how they deterio rate. Many old books and documents which were printed on rag paper, made from linen and cotton fibers or rags, are still in excellent condition, as these materials are relatively stable to the effects of aging. With industrialization and mechanization, however, books became accessible to the general population, and to meet the demand and also keep the cost affordable, paper began to be made with increasing amounts of wood pulp instead of rags. The acidity of the materials and processes used to produce this kind of paper causes the paper to become yellowed or brown, spotted, and brittle. With increasing age and exposure to light, air, and handling, the paper literally self-destructs. Many people have old books and paper documents which are beginning to show the effects of time. These items may be rare and valuable first editions, or letters and papers of sentimental value or family interest. Mr. Twomey discussed several ways to salvage and preserve such old paper docu ments and books. For example, some paper was originally sized with gelatin or alum resin, which makes the paper crisp and brittle when old. These sizing materials may be washed out by dipping the paper in appropriate baths of water or alcohol solutions. In addition, alkaline solutions and sprays containing calcium carbonate in various solvents are commercially available to deacidify paper. These products, which are rather expensive, must be used with caution, since they will dissolve some inks, and the fumes may be toxic. The process is quite time-consuming, especially if one is restoring a book. The total cost for a book depends on its size. A book consisting of 25 pamphlets or gatherings (the little bundles of folded paper sheets that can be seen if you look closely at a book's spine) might cost about $75 to restore--each pamphlet costs about $1 to disassemble and mend, $1 to wash or deacidify and dry, and $1 to resew. In addition, a new cover costs anywhere from $30 for a simple one to $150 for a fine leather binding. Some people prefer to spend their time instead, and they may find bookbinding to be a rewarding hobby. Well-intentioned but improper amateur repairs to books and papers, however, can cause great damage. Cellophane tape or Scotch tape, even "magic" or "invisible" tape, should not be used, since the tape may eventually come loose and the adhesive will leave a permanent yellow stain. Attempts to remove tape may also cause damage to the paper, including removal of the printing. Instead, one should invest in a roll of archival quality mending tape, which is acid-free, nondestructive, and permanent, for any paper repairs; a 100-foot roll costs about $15. Maps, letters, and other paper documents should never be laminated in plastic, as such processes permanently bind the plastic to the paper, destroying the item's integrity. Instead, papers or docu ments which are to be handled or displayed should be sandwiched between two layers of Mylar poly ester film and sealed with double-sided archival tape. This encapsulation will keep the paper flat, reduce wear on fold lines and edges, and protect brittle paper from further damage, while permit ting the item to be viewed from both sides. The Mylar film can later be removed without damage to the paper if one wishes to make additional repairs. The charge for having an item professionally encapsulated is about $8 per page, mostly for the time involved. Again, however, one can purchase the necessary materials and do the work at home at much less expense. A useful encapsulation kit with Mylar film, double-sided tape, handy little tools and accessories, and complete instructions costs about $40 and will do a dozen pages.

On November 18th of that same year, thirty acres of the Clark-Kinzie purchase were sold to the city of Racine and named Mound Cemetery, with an official dedication ceremony following on June 3, 1852. Dr. Philo R. Hoy, a pioneer Wisconsin archeologist, physician, and naturalist, was mainly responsible for persuading local officials to keep the mounds intact and secure within the confines of one of Racine's first cemeteries. He personally laid out the cemetery roads to wind around and avoid disturbing the ancient earthworks. In addi tion. Dr. Hoy excavated several of the mounds and wrote descriptions of what he found. Most, he noted, ranged in size up to seven feet high and five to fifty feet in diameter. The mounds consisted of holes dug in the ground, then covered over with bark and/or logs, followed by layers of soil. Inside were found human skeletons sitting facing cast, and, in one mound, Dr. Hoy found two pottery jars. We can't understand why the cemetery should need a fence so high.

Spaces & Traces Where Is It? On Saturday, May I9th, Historic Milwaukee Inc.'s SPACES & TRACES: WALKER'S POINT REVISITED tour will showcase one of Milwaukee's three original settlements. Walker's Point, located just south of the Menomonee River, is a unique Milwaukee neighborhood in that it still retains its turn of the century look. It is a district where the mansions of business owners and workers' cottages stand side by side. J Churches, schools, stores, and factories are within walking distance as they were 100 years ago. The neighborhood, a home over the years for many nationalities that immi grated to Milwaukee, continues to be one of the more culturally diverse areas of the city. On the day of the tour, tourgoers may explore the churches and homes of the original settlers; experience the view from the Allen-Bradley Clock Tower; visit the factories which once housed tanneries and now provide studios and homes to Milwaukee artists; visit the enterprises which continue to breathe life into Walker's Point (the Sprecher Brewery, the Brass Light Gallery, the Milwaukee Ballet Company studios); learn about the neighborhood artists by viewing demonstrations on lithography by John Gruenwald and ornamental plaster work by Jules Orlandini; enjoy ethnic enter tainment; and see and hear about the con tinuing neighborhood revitalization efforts of Walker's Point Development Corporation.

Since excessive dampness or dryness and exposure to light will greatly accelerate the rate of deterio ration, books and papers should ideally be stored in a controlled dark environment of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 50% relative humidity. Although these conditions are difficult or impractical to maintain in the home, they should be kept in mind, and books and papers of any value should not be in the basement or the attic. They should be kept in archival storage boxes, which create a micro environment of appropriate conditions, keep out light and dust, and protect against mechanical damage during handling, cleaning, or moving. Such boxes cost about $2-$5 apiece, depending on size and quality. Even photographs should be stored in archival quality albums with Mylar pages and acid- free binders. Special albums and boxes are also available for slides, postcards, stamps, comic books, or currency. Archival materials are available from suppliers such as University Products ((1-800-628-1912) and Light Impressions (1-800-828-6216); call for a catalog from either company. Bookbinding classes are occasionally taught through local colleges and museums for those who want to try their hand at it, although true skill comes only with years of practice.
