OLD WINDERMERE ACA v I Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction Most planning studies tend to focus on land use rather than the actual physical develop- ment patterns of a community. This often re- sults in a lack of attention being given to the overall characteristics and qualities of what makes a community or neighborhood unique. It is important to define the physical elements that make up a particular neighborhood so that any future development will be compatible with and strengthen the established context. This is particu- larly important in historic neighborhoods expected to undergo future developmental pressure. FIGURE 1.1. OlD WINDERmERE’S OAk TREE CANOPy: A lASTINg ImPRESSION.

It is a neighbor- ton and the elements that make it special. hood-based approach to preservation, in which elements that make up neighborhood character are articulated and preserved. ACAs describe the context of a neighborhood and the key compo- nents that characterize a place. This includes the scale, mass, and rhythm of structures, as well as streetscape and landscape elements. In addition, the current uses and historic and cultural elements are defined in the community. OLD WINDERMERE ACA 2 I Introduction The houses, winding roads, and street trees com- pose the majority of the historic resources in the residential neighborhoods. Though not typically recognized as historic compared with downtown neighborhoods, many of the older West Ashley neighborhoods such as Old Windermere and Byrnes Downs illustrate Charleston’s growth in the early to mid-twentieth century. Development west of the Ashley River after World War I and World War II represents unique historic periods of idealism and growth. Development patterns tes- tify to the rise of the automobile and pro-growth policies after World War II. These representations of relatively recent history (pre-1960s) should be rec- ognized and preserved as part of an increased ef- fort to recognize the ongoing history of the entire city of Charleston—not just the history of the Lower Peninsula.1 FIGURE 1.2.

Over four generations of the Woodward family operated a company that was synonymous with Birmingham as a producer of Woodward #35 with hot metal cars at Woodward Iron Furnace circa 1959 (Tom Lawson collection) “merchant iron” from 1881 to 1973 – the actual beginnings of the Woodward Company predate the beginning of the City of Birmingham. The Woodward Company and its leaders were a strong part of Birmingham’s business community, and its building occupied one street corner of the “heaviest corner on Earth.” Third generation A. H. “Rick” Woodward was perhaps one of the most colorful business leaders in Birmingham, including his owning the Birmingham Barons Baseball team, being the builder of Rickwood Field, and being a “millionaire” locomotive engineer. Mid-South member John Stewart has made a study of the Woodward family’s contribution to Birmingham’s indus- trial development, and John will present his research in a narrated slide program at our July 18 chapter meeting. For the benefit of those not familiar with Woodward, John has provided the following preview of his presentation: Before there was a Birmingham in 1871, the Woodward family began land ac- quisition in 1869 that would lead to a company that produced “merchant iron” in Don’t forget the Birmingham for over 90 years.

    The MidMid----SouthSouth Flyer May-June 2014 A Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc Chapter Picnic Moved to July Mid-South Chapter invited to participate in inaugural Alabama Railfan Conference The first ever gathering of diverse rail fan groups from across Ala- bama will feature a program on the Mid-South Chapter and a key- note presentation by Mid-South member and Birmingham railroad historian John Stewart. The Alabama Railfan Conference 2014 will be held on National Train Day, May 10th, at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum in Calera, Ala- bama. Activities will include briefings by representatives from vari- ous railroad museums, historical societies, model railroad clubs, and social media groups, and a group ride behind Flagg Coal #75 steam locomotive. According to event organizer Jimmy Summers, the main purpose of the conference is to gather together various rail related groups in order to learn what rail fan opportunities are available in the state and current projects in the Alabama rail fan community. Mid-South President John Browning will represent the chapter and provide a briefing to conference attendees. Board member John Stewart will present a program on the development of Birmingham’s industrial railroads, which has re- ceived wide acclaim from both rail enthusiasts and historians. Due to restricted venue space at the museum, the half-day conference will be limited to 35 participants. Depending on the response to this year’s program, the museum hopes to expand the conference into an annual event with more program offerings and activities. Although participation in the conference is restricted, Mid-South members are encouraged to participate in other available museum activities in honor of National Train Day.
