Missouri Preservation Conference Moved to May

SAVE THE DATES - MAY 17-19, 2017 - HANNIBAL Due to planning and logistical concerns, the City of Hannibal and Missouri Preservation have moved the Missouri Preservation Conference to National Preservation Month in May. By moving the conference to May from its original dates of October 19-21, 2016, we hope to avoid conflicts with other fall conferences, as well as plan for an even better educational experience for our preservation commission members, cer- tified local governments, contractors and developers, preservation product vendors, architects and his- torians. The Hannibal area offers many opportunities for heritage education and recreation, with attractions like the Mark Twain Riverboat (right), Jim’s Journey African American heritage museum, and many historical sites related to Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain, including the Mark Twain Museum, Mark Twain Boyhood Home, Becky Thatcher House, and nearby in Florida, Missouri, the Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, if you booked a hotel room for the October dates, you may want to call the hotel to cancel and re-book for the May 17-19, 2017 dates. The conference hotel is the Hannibal Best Western on the River. Con- tact them at 573.248.1150. Check for details at www.preservemo.org.

PAGE 4 MISSOURI PRESERVATIO N NEWS WINTER 2016-2017 Some of Missouri’s 2016 Historic Places in Peril

The Emmaus Homes campus in Marthasville (photo below) is scheduled to be closed and its developmentally disabled residents moved to smaller residential facilities. Begun in the 1850s as the German Evangelical Seminary, the cam- pus is comprised of several buildings including a chapel and several dormitory buildings from the 1850s-1950s. It is hoped that the governing body will choose a new owner that is interested in the preservation of these historic buildings.

The Demaree House (above) was built by one of the original settlers of the town of Demaree, which eventually became known as House Springs. At the core of the current house is a log structure completed ca. 1837. The current owner says he is amenable to selling this house to an owner that can move it to another site for restoration and reuse. Call our office at 660.882.5946 if you know of someone who might be interested in owning and moving this house or email the owner at [email protected].

The 8th and Center Streets Baptist Church (right) houses the oldest extant African American congregation in the Hannibal area. It has early associations with Blanche Kelso Bruce (1814-1898) who was a black political leader of na- tional prominence in the post– Civil War period. Its congre- gation dwindling in numbers, the church is endangered due to lack of maintenance and funds. Houses in the neighbor- hood of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (below left) are on the Places in Peril list as expansion plans for the Mu- seum call for multiple demolitions in the surrounding neighborhood of substantial homes. The Buster Brown Shoe Factory building (below right) is in danger because of its location in the path of new development for the National Geospatial Agency on St. Louis’s north side. The owner hopes to be able to move this building about 600 feet to the south and reopening as a boutique hotel for the area.

The mausoleum was originally endowed for perpetual upkeep, but the ownership—comprised of many descendants—proved to be problematic, given that Miller’s descendants are numerous and widely scattered throughout the United States. Finally in 2016 Miller descendant Carl Cranfill gained sole ownership of the property after a five year campaign of tracking down the various other owners. He plans to have the family members re- interred at a local cemetery and to open the mauso- leum for some sort of public use.
