2005 Community Preservation Program
Another Successful Community Preservation Project!
Landmarks completed its ninth annual Community Preservation Program
event. This year, the Community Preservation Program committee chose
four homes in the Stevens Street National Register District.
This year's project received major funding through a grant from the Lewis
Hall and Mildred Sasser Singletary Foundation. The Southwest Georgia
Community Action Council's Weatherization program was also instrumental
in providing necessary insulating supplies and materials. Meanwhile, more
than 170 volunteers contributed sweat equity and 50 sponsors donated
goods, services or additional funds.

In the course of three months, 421Pine, 518 Pine, 620 Pine Street and 400
West Calhoun Street underwent exterior rehabilitation and repairs. Hours
were spent prepping each house for new paint. Some of the homes had not
been painted in over a decade. Finally after replacing glass, repairing and
replacing wood siding, fascia, doors, windows, screens and screen doors
and after the tedious scraping and sanding, the houses were ready for paint
and primer.

The project culminated with the volunteer workdays in March. On March 12
and March 18 and 19, volunteers primed, caulked and painted the four
houses. Many groups and individuals committed themselves to the job at
hand and this resulted in a great job being done and great fun being had
by all.
