In this study of six publicly owned historic home grounds in the Deep South, the contents and format of the respective CLR’s are reviewed and site directors interviewed to determine their use of the CLR for their sites. While CLR’s are valuable especially to support bids for funding and other appropriations, directors indicate needs not readily met by their respective CLR’s, such as cost and phasing of treatment plans; means of balancing visitor expectations, environmental sensitivity, and historical preservation; and treatment recommendations that realistically consider site resources. DEDICATION To WJM, who has made the improbable a certainty ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To restate the words of John Donne, “No man [or woman] is an island, entire of itself.” Numerous individuals have contributed to this study directly or indirectly; to them I owe the inspiration, assistance, and knowledge that has made this study possible.

    Press contact: Eddie Silva 314.446.7496 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Artist Tim Youd retypes St. Louis author William Gass’s The Tunnel on live video stream Tim Youd at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis in 2018. April 27, 2020 (St. Louis, MO) - The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM), with Cristin Tierney Gallery, announces a live-stream, remote durational performance by Tim Youd, who will retype William Gass’s epic novel, The Tunnel, from the artist’s garage in his Los Angeles home, beginning Friday, May 1, 2020, at 11:00 am CST. Youd expects to complete the 650-page novel in 31 days, ending on May 31, his longest retyping performance to date. Youd refers to Gass’s work as a “densely postmodern” novel about becoming increasingly trapped in one’s own circumstances and in one’s own mind.” For Youd, his performative act will be akin to “tunneling out of the quarantine.” Viewers may follow Tim Youd: The Tunnel Retyped by visiting tunnelretyped.com, where they may link to the live YouTube video stream, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm CST each day. The artist will be visited by a guest close to the project on Instagram Live each Friday at 1:00 pm, beginning with Lisa Melandri, CAM Executive Director, on May 1. Each subsequent Friday Youd will speak with Misa Jeffereis, assistant curator at CAM; Allison Unruh, Brooklyn-based independent curator and former associate curator of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum; and Cristin Tierney, director of her eponymously named New York City gallery, which represents Youd.

Webb Located in South Oxford where Garfield Avenue becomes Old Taylor Road is Rowan Oak, the antebellum, home of William Faulkner. The ground on which the home sits was at one time part of a section of 640 acres purchased in 1836 from E-Ah-Nah- Yea, a Chickasaw Indian, by the real estate firm of Chisholm, Martin and Craig. After passing through several hands, the land was purchased in 1844 by Robert B. Shegog, who employed Wil- liam Turner, an English architect, to build a two-story plantation style home on the portion of the section listed in the land rec­ ords of the local chancery clerk’s office as Lot 54. The beauty of the house was considerably enhanced by its being located on ground that slopes off to bluffs and ravines on three sides. The long curving drive and the walk approaching the steps were lined with cedars.
