    Jcpenney BUILDING 732 BROAD STREET | AUGUSTA GA

    THE JCPenney BUILDING 732 BROAD STREET | AUGUSTA GA Jordan Trotter Commercial Real Estate is proud to exclusively market the historic JCPenney Building located along the 700 block of Broad Street in Augusta, Georgia. Purchase Price: $1,975,000 Size: 78,000 Square Feet Year Built: 1895 Zoning: B2 (General Business) *Located in the Opportunity Zone *Eligible for Historic and Special Tax Credits The 700 block is quickly becoming the entertainment district of Augusta with the Imperial Theatre, The Miller Theater, and the future relocation of the Morris Museum of Art across the street. TAX CREDITS UNDERSTANDING HISTORIC TAX CREDITS The federal Historic Tax Credit (HTC) program was enacted in 1976 to encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of historically significant buildings. For a property to be eligible for the HTC Program it must be listed in the National Register of Historic Places, or be located in a registered historic district. Fortunately for the JC Penney Building, the 700 block of Broad Street is located within the Augusta Downtown Historic District, which makes this building eligible for all programs of the National Register. WHAT IS THE INCENTIVE? A 20 percent federal tax credit of Qualified Rehabilitation Expenditures (QRE’s) for the cost incurred during the rehabilitation of a certified historic structure for commercial, agricultural, industrial or residential rental purposes. In addition, the State of Georgia offers two tax incentives. The first is known as the Georgia State Income Tax Credit for Rehabilitated Historic Property. This offers a 25% tax credit on qualified rehab expenses against Georgia income taxes. The second is the State Preferential Property Tax Assessment for Rehabilitated Historic Property.

Historic preservation of cemeteries is a growing concern as many communities find ways to deal with vandalism, erosion of stones, and neglect of plots and landscaping. Historic cemeteries generally showcase peaceful grounds with intriguing monuments, gravestones, dates, and names. A fount of information regarding genealogy, local historical figures and iconography can be found in cemeteries. Many graveyards have been lost due to poor planning, natural overgrowth, and fading memories; however, with community awareness and renewed respect for the past, preservation of cemeteries is becoming a higher priority in many historic cities across the United States including Augusta.

    University of Nevada Reno Addressing the Evidence of Historical Medical Grave Robbing: Past Practices and their Influence on modern memory and Western Uses of the Body A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History by Danielle Zayac Dr. Martha Hildreth/Thesis Advisor Dr. Edward Schoolman/Co-Advisor December 2020 University of Nevada, Reno THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by DANIELLE ZAYAC entitled Addressing the Evidence of Historical Medical Grave Robbing: Past Practices and their Influence on modern memory and Western Uses of the Body be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Martha Hildreth, Ph.D. Advisor Edward Schoolman, Ph.D. Co-advisor Marin Pilloud, Ph.D. Committee Member Cameron Strang, Ph.D. Committee Member Jane Davidson, Ph.D. Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean Graduate School December 2020 i Abstract In this thesis I compare two cases where human remains were found on the grounds of two historical medical colleges, the Medical College of Georgia and the Medical College of Virginia. These remains are presumed to be the remnants of dissected corpses from nineteenth century medical education. I will address how these two medical schools, among many other teaching institutions of the nineteenth century, procured and used African American bodies for dissection far more often than white bodies. This study will also look at the local reaction to the twentieth century discoveries at the two colleges. Between the two cases, the Medical College of Georgia appears to have been less involved with reburial and handled the identification of the remains with less public input than the Medical College of Virginia.
