It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

    Augusta State Facilities Master Plan 1. Executive Summary Introduction The development of the Augusta State Facilities Master Plan is a direct result of a successful collaborative effort between the Maine State Government and the City of Augusta. Strong leadership, public spirit, and a dynamic process incorporating shared resources and volunteer efforts have resulted in an exciting and realistic vision for State Government’s place in Augusta. City and State officials responsible for facilities and for Strong leadership, public spirit, and a planning recognized the opportunities represented by the dynamic process incorporating shared renewal of the State House, the Burton J.

    5. the Master Plan

    Augusta State Facilities Master Plan 5. The Master Plan The summation of the work of the MPC over its twelve months of deliberations is the Augusta State Facilities Master Plan. A synthesis of the positive attributes of the five concept plans that came before it, the Master Plan represents a considerably simplified and focused plan when compared to some of the initial efforts. This is as it should be, as the MPC acquired knowledge and confidence as it deliberated over several weeks and assimilated a wealth of information. The committee never lost sight of the initial thirteen goals of the process, and in the end was satisfied that the Master Plan represented the culmination of the process. The following paragraphs describe the major elements of the plan. The plan recognizes that the State currently owns sufficient land and building resources to make the further acquisition of property unnecessary in the foreseeable future. It also recognizes that the need for leased space will be lessened but not eliminated. While one goal of the plan is to make the highest and best use of East and West Campus resources, it also seeks to play an important role in the revitalization of Downtown Augusta by recommending that 300 State employees be located in leased space on Water Street. Prepared by SMRT, Inc. 5.1 Augusta State Facilities Master Plan Further strengthening of Augusta’s downtown fabric is recommended through the identification of a future new building site near the present MDOT Building on Capital Street, thus bringing a substantial number of State employees from outlying locations to within walking distance of downtown.
