Many historic sites in the United States have multiple buildings, and they have the need to raise money, add to programming goals, and keep some sort of promise to the future generations to preserve the site. The overarching premise I have made concerns the historic nature of the buildings themselves. The assumption is that many historic sites cannot afford to maintain these buildings to an historically accurate standard without altering their original use. But how are the modifications to be paid for? How responsive must the buildings be with regard to the overall finances of the non-profit organization? And, finally, is there a conflict with the mission of a not-for-profit when engaging in for- profit commerce? These are some of the major issues I intend to explore. Traditionally an historic site was thought to be just the public rooms of the main structure. Museums would show the parlors and the best bed chamber as representative of the lives of the inhabitants. In recent decades, however, visitors have demonstrated to the museum community that they are also interested in the "service sections" of the house. Many sites have responded, as has Biltmore House and Gardens, by adding expanded tours. ' http://www. biltmore. com (April 1999):Biltmore Estate admission ticket includes: a self-guided visit through four floors of Biltmore House, including living and entertainment areas, the Kitchens, indoor recreation areas, and servants' quarters; a self-guided visit to Biltmore's many acres of gardens and walking trails. Another tour of the winery is also available. 2 This has proven very successful for Biltmore.^ Additionally there has long been an interest in the landscape tour of the grounds. Many sites offer self- guided tours with an accompanying brochure.^ Preservationists are now faced with ancillary buildings that supported the large sites functionally in their historical context, and the expectation that they will be interpreted or reused today. To reuse in this context is to recapture an original function,"^ perhaps with a new purpose that will also support the overall program at the site. Unused ancillary buildings can be thought of as financial burdens to a site, or worse, ignored, and allowed to deteriorate for lack of interest or use. New uses for old buildings may include conference centers, gift shops, curatorial offices, restaurants or catering facilities - to name but a few of the most obvious choices. It is thought that the highest and best use for a building is the purpose for which it was originally designed and used. A museum interpretation of original use is a common and accepted substitute. This works well enough for houses,^ but it falls short in a real world scenario for historic bams and other secondary buildings. The problem is inherent to many historic sites. - "Biltmore Estate: As the Century Turns", William A. V. Cecil, Jr., Chief Executive Director, Biltmore Estate. Presentation given on December 5, 1998, at American House Museums in the 21st Century Symposium held at the Athenaeum of Philadelphia (to be published in 1999 on the Athenaeum's web site at http://www.libertynet.org/athena/ ). ^ Patricia M O'Donnell, "Relating Integrity to Interpretation" Cultural Recourse Management (1994 No.7): pp. 12-15. ^ What I mean here is not the actual original function physically, but generally, as the relationship of the hierarchy of buildings on any sort of estate, that the barns and other structures are second to the main house, and serve as support for them. So it is the role of the building, rather than the specific functions that were historically performed there. Defining the role of ancillary buildings on large historic sites is not a new problem, and currently it may not be adequately solved. It is hoped that the information gathered herein may be of some use to sites that are in the process of deciding how to make the best use of their ancillary buildings by looking at three cases where efforts have been made, and the results that have been seen thus far.

  • RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS by Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee
    Field Notes - Spring 2016 Issue RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS By Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee We have been reviewing new books about the Olmsteds and the art of landscape architecture for so long that the book section of our website is beginning to resemble a bibliography. To make this resource more useful for researchers and interested readers, we’re beginning a series of articles about older publications that remain useful and enjoyable. We hope to focus on the landmarks of the Olmsted literature that appeared before the creation of our website as well as shorter writings that were not intended to be scholarly works or best sellers but that add to our understanding of Olmsted projects and themes. THE OLMSTEDS AND THE VANDERBILTS The Vanderbilts and the Gilded Age: Architectural Aspirations 1879-1901. by John Foreman and Robbe Pierce Stimson, Introduction by Louis Auchincloss. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1991, 341 pages. At his death, William Henry Vanderbilt (1821-1885) was the richest man in America. In the last eight years of his life, he had more than doubled the fortune he had inherited from his father, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877), who had created an empire from shipping and then done the same thing with the New York Central Railroad. William Henry left the bulk of his estate to his two eldest sons, but each of his two other sons and four daughters received five million dollars in cash and another five million in trust. This money supported a Vanderbilt building boom that remains unrivaled, including palaces along Fifth Avenue in New York, aristocratic complexes in the surrounding countryside, and palatial “cottages” at the fashionable country resorts.

Milens (1938- ) Historic Vermont Buildings Photographs, ca. 1980s FB-145.1 & 145.2 Introduction This collection contains negatives and contact sheets of black and white photographs created by Sanders H. Milens for the Preservation Trust of Vermont, in the 1980s, and probably for the two books published by the Trust at that time, A Celebration of Vermont's Historic Architecture (1983) and Vermont's Historic Architecture, A Second Celebration (1985). The collection was given to the Vermont Historical Society by Mr. Milens in 2014. Commercial use of the images in the collection is prohibited without the donor’s consent during his lifetime. The collection is stored in two flat archival boxes. Biographical Note Sanders H. Milens, Missourian by birth (1938), Vermonter by choice (1968) graduated from Northwestern University and the New York Institute of Photography. He made commercial photography his vocation beginning in 1964. A substantial portion of his work was photographing some 400 buildings for the Preservation Trust of Vermont. As of August 2018 he was living in Burlington with his wife, Muffie. Organization The collection is organized by format: 2 ¼ x 2 ¼ negatives and contact prints (CS&N) in one box and 4x5 negatives and prints in the other box. The first series is separated into contact prints and negatives; each sub-series is arranged by Mr. Milens’ roll numbering system.
