Grants
Arkansas
Central High School National Historic Site, Little Rock Award amount: $ 500,000
Central High School was the first important test for implementation of the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision. This National Historic Landmark has become a symbol of the end of racially segregated public schools in the United States. The school is experiencing extensive material failures – crumbling ceiling and wall plaster, basement and foundation problems, deteriorating roofs – due to moisture infiltration. Funds will be used to eliminate moisture sources and to repair damaged plaster.
Arizona
"Saving Southwest Traditions: The Pottery Project," Arizona State Museum, Tucson Award amount: $ 400,000
The Arizona State Museum houses the largest and most comprehensive collection of Southwest Native American ceramics in the world. Storage facilities lacking environmental controls threaten the collection. If left unchecked, these irreplaceable objects could disintegrate.

California
Angel Island Immigration Station, Tiburon Award amount: $ 500,000
A National Historic Landmark, Angel Island Immigration Station served as the primary West Coast port of entry for immigrants to the United States. Chinese immigrants detained at the station carved poetry into the walls of the barracks, leaving an invaluable historical record of the Pacific immigration experience. Long-term deterioration and water damage threaten the structural integrity of the buildings. Many of the inscriptions have weathered to the point that they are barely legible. Funding will enable stabilization of the buildings and conservation work to ensure that the poetry is not lost.
Knight Foundry Water-Powered Iron Works, Sutter Creek Award amount: $ 250,000
One of the few intact late-19th-century industrial workplaces, Knight Foundry is powered by Knight Water Motors, the direct-drive water turbines invented by founder Samuel Knight. In continuous operation as a foundry, pattern shop and machine shop from 1872 to 1996, it is a repository of nearly extinct foundry skills. Structural decay and water damage threaten the building and the collection of patterns, tools and machinery. Funding will support stabilization of the buildings and machinery restoration.
Colorado
Old First National Bank, Telluride Award amount: $ 250,000
The Old First National Bank is a key structure in Telluride’s National Historic Landmark District, which is significant for its 19th-century "Boomtown" architecture. Designed by prominent Colorado architect James Murdoch, the building also housed the Telluride Power Company, operator of the first commercial alternating current power plant. The bank’s masonry facades have deteriorated over time and have suffered damage due to inappropriate repairs. This grant will address these problems.
The District of Columbia
The Charter Murals, National Archives Building, Washington, D.C. Award amount: $ 500,000
The Charter Murals, The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States, were completed by artist Barry Faulkner in 1936. Located in the National Archives Rotunda above the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, these murals are viewed by hundreds of visitors each day. Protruding bulges from fallen plaster mar the murals, and years of dirt build-up have dulled them. In conjunction with a major renovation of the Rotunda, this grant will support comprehensive conservation treatment of the murals.
Dance Heritage Coalition Award amount: $ 90,000
Katherine
Dunham Archives, East St. Louis, Illinois
Hulla Huhm Dance
Collection, Honolulu, Hawaii
Gertrude Kurath, Eleanor King, and
Kealiinohomoku Collections, Flagstaff, Arizona
These dance collections require urgent attention to conserve their historic costumes, musical instruments, and historic photographs. Storage facilities lack climate control, threatening the records of grass-roots dance troops’ collections. Funds will address these problems and ensure the preservation of these important African American, Korean American and Native American traditions.
Historic Sound Recording Collections of the American People, Smithsonian Institution Award amount: $ 750,000
Together the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress hold the largest and most significant collections of audio recordings documenting the American experience from the 1890s to present. These collections contain icons of American oratory, such as Martin Luther King, Jr.’s I Have a Dream speech, and tens of thousands of recordings of every genre of American spoken word and music. Many elements of the collections are in poor condition and could be lost due to unstable original media. This grant will support conservation of the original recordings and copying to stable formats.
Anderson Cottage, United States Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home Award amount: $ 750,000
Built in 1842-43, Anderson Cottage was the country home of George W. Riggs, a prominent banker in Washington, D.C. In 1851, it became part of the U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home. Anderson Cottage was a summer retreat for Presidents Buchanan, Lincoln, Hayes and Arthur. Funds will support restoration of the Cottage for use as a learning center dedicated to the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, who wrote the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation there.
Hawaii
USS Missouri, Honolulu Award amount: $ 300,000
The USS Missouri is the last bombardment battleship to be completed for the United States Navy, as well as the last that remained in service. The formal instrument of Japanese surrender that ended World War II was signed aboard the USS Missouri. The ship last served in the Persian Gulf during the 1991 Operation Desert Storm. Corrosion of the superstructure and the wear of 400,000 visitors in one year have taken a toll on the ship. Funding will enable the USS Missouri Memorial Association to address these issues and enable this popular historic ship to remain available to the public.
Iowa
Woodbury County Courthouse, Sioux City Award amount: $ 300,000
A National Historic Landmark, the Woodbury County Courthouse is the largest Prairie School style structure in the nation.

The Cahokia Site is one of the most important pre-Columbian archaeological sites in North America. The well-preserved artifact-bearing deposits at the site chronicle the development of one of the first urban centers in the Western Hemisphere.

Glessner House, Chicago Award amount: $ 250,000
The 1886 Glessner House is one of the last and most mature of noted architect Henry Hobson Richardson’s residential designs. Many of the furnishings are original to this National Historic Landmark house. The lack of an adequate climate control system has resulted in damage to interior finishes and furnishings. Funds will support conservation of deteriorated historic materials and enable the installation of a climate control system.
Frederick C. Robie House, Chicago Award amount: $ 250,000
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Robie House is one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture. Completed in 1910, the building was a catalyst for a revolution in domestic architecture, presaging many of the developments and styles that would arise throughout the 20th century. Like nearly all of Wright’s flat-roofed structures, the National Historic Landmark Robie House suffers from water infiltration that is damaging its interior features. Funding will correct the water penetration and repair damage to the interior.
Indiana
Indiana Cotton Mill, Cannelton Award amount: $ 250,000
Begun in 1849, the Indiana Cotton Mill was one of the first American mill buildings to wed utility and aesthetics. Steam powered the mill, an innovation at a time when most mills used waterpower.

Kansas
Chase County Courthouse, Cottonwood Falls Award amount: $ 250,000
The 1873 Chase County Courthouse represents the Kansas settlement period and is the oldest continuously operating courthouse in the state.

These three National Historic Landmarks are key components of the Cane River National Heritage Area. Dating from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, they represent the Creole and African American architectural and cultural traditions of the area and era. Each building suffers moisture and structural problems. Funds will be used to halt deterioration of these important structures.
Maryland
Sotterley Plantation, Hollywood Award amount: $ 400,000
A National Historic Landmark, Sotterley Plantation is an intact fabric of landscape, architecture and archaeological holdings. The structures and features that comprise this 90-acre site date from the 18th through the early 20th centuries and include the 1717 Manor House and a rare surviving slave cabin.

Massachusetts
American Antiquarian Society Library, Worcester Award amount: $ 400,000
Established to collect, preserve and make available for study all materials printed in the United States prior to 1877, the American Antiquarian Society is the nation’s third oldest historical society. Lack of a fire suppression system in the Society’s 1910 building and antiquated storage facilities threaten these irreplaceable collections. This grant will enable this National Historic Landmark institution to address these concerns.
Colonial Theatre, Pittsfield Award amount: $ 400,000
Constructed in 1903, the Colonial Theatre has been considered one of the best acoustical theatres in the nation.

Orchard House, Concord Award amount: $ 400,000
This 300-year old National Historic Landmark was the family home of Louisa May Alcott and the setting for her autobiographical classic, Little Women. Literary greats such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry David Thoreau were frequent visitors.

Michigan
Cranbrook House, Bloomfield Hills Amount awarded: $300,000
Built between 1908 and 1920, the Albert Kahn-designed Cranbrook House is an outstanding example of early 20th-century design and craftsmanship. Cranbrook House was the residence of George and Ellen Booth, founders of the Cranbrook Educational Community, an idealist institution dedicated to combating shoddy machine-age goods by making beautiful objects and creating architectural settings with the finest quality details.
This National Historic Landmark house contains fine art, antiques and unique examples of the Arts and Crafts movement. Funding will support restoration of portions of the roof, terrace and plaza deck.

Nevada
Stewart Indian Boarding School Historic District, Carson City Award amount: $ 250,000
Founded in 1890, the Stewart Indian Boarding School served Native American students until 1980. The campus and buildings constructed of colorful native Nevada stone are a rare intact ensemble. The site now houses a museum and other teaching activities. Deferred maintenance since the school’s closing hastened the deterioration of its buildings, and funds will be used to address for restoration needs.
New Hampshire
Canterbury Shaker Village, Canterbury Award amount: $ 250,000
Canterbury Shaker Village includes 25 historic buildings and hundreds of acres of fields, ponds, and forests. The 1793 Dwelling House, one of only two remaining 18th-century Shaker dwelling houses, is the largest and most endangered building in this National Historic Landmark complex. Continuously occupied until the last Canterbury Sister died in 1992, the Dwelling House suffers from decades of deferred maintenance and long-term structural damage due to failing roofs. Funds will be used to repair roofs and address other preservation needs to avert additional damage.
New Jersey
Laundry and Hospital Outbuilding at Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty National Monument Award amount: $ 500,000

Subjected to temperature and humidity fluctuations and contact with corrosive agents, the collections’ artifacts deteriorate and their research and educational value diminishes. Funds will support conservation treatments and appropriate storage facilities.
New York
Harriet Tubman Historic Sites, Auburn Award amount: $ 450,000
Harriet Tubman was one of the recognized leaders of the Underground Railroad. The original wood frame house she occupied upon settling in Auburn in 1858 was later improved with brick.

These and several other structures associated with Tubman’s life and work have deteriorated to the point that major restoration is needed. This grant will support the restoration.
The Tenement at 97 Orchard Street, New York Award amount: $ 250,000
The Lower East Side Tenement Museum is the first museum in the country to interpret the home and community life of urban, working class and poor immigrants.

Babe Ruth Scrapbooks, National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown Award amount: $ 50,000
These ten scrapbooks are an autobiographical record of the heart of George Herman "Babe" Ruth’s baseball career, 1921-1935. The scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings, photographs, playbills, posters, telegrams and the inside of a baseball hat, and document both his baseball achievements and his off-season barnstorming tours throughout small-town America. The ephemeral nature of the original materials and the scrapbook pages has led to severe deterioration over time. Funding will support conservation of these documents.
North Carolina
Union Tavern / Thomas Day House, Milton Award amount: $ 250,000
Thomas Day, a 19th-century free African American cabinetmaker (1801-1861), has gained national recognition for his highly-prized furniture and distinctive architectural woodwork. The 1810 Federal style Union Tavern served as his residence and workshop during the peak years of his career.

This grant will enable comprehensive conservation of the collection, ensuring its preservation for the future.
Pennsylvania
Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, Philadelphia Award amount: $ 500,000
Constructed in 1823, Eastern State Penitentiary was radical in both design – its radial cellblock plan – and in penal theory: rehabilitation through solitary confinement. It became the model for some 250 prisons throughout the world. Closed as a correctional facility in 1971, the Penitentiary narrowly escaped demolition in 1987. Now partially stabilized, the site is open and interpreted to the public. Water infiltration due to failing cellblock roofs continues to threaten masonry, plaster and other materials. Funds will enable restoration of roofs to halt further deterioration of this National Historic Landmark site.
1777-78 Continental Army Winter Encampment Structures, Valley Forge National Historical Park

Funds will support the restoration of masonry and stucco.
Rhode Island
Southeast Lighthouse, Block Island Award amount: $ 300,000
Block Island’s 1874 Southeast Lighthouse is an unusual combination of a working first-order lens and a Gothic Revival building.

Funds will be used to restore the lighthouse and keeper’s house for a maritime museum.
South Carolina
Drayton Hall, Charleston Award amount: $ 250,000
Begun in 1738, Drayton Hall is the oldest unrestored plantation house in America that is open to the public. Its design was inspired by Andrea Palladio’s The Four Books of Architecture, and its recessed two-story portico derives directly from Palladio’s Villa Pisani. This National Historic Landmark descended through seven generations of one family and remains substantially unaltered and without electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems. Funds will be used to conserve historic finishes and features and to address structural problems.
South Dakota

Funds will support conservation and proper museum storage of the collection, dramatically improving its educational and research potential.
West Virginia
B & O Railroad Roundhouse Complex, Martinsburg Award amount: $ 500,000
The B & O Railroad Roundhouse complex is the finest and most complete example of mid-19th-century railroad shop complexes in the United States. It was the site of a labor action that led to the widespread 1877 railroad workers’ strike. Vacant and unsecured for over a decade, the buildings suffer from water infiltration, vandalism and general neglect. This grant will secure the buildings and restore their exteriors.
Wisconsin
Ten Chimneys, Genesee Depot Award amount: $ 250,000
From the 1920s through the 1960s, Ten Chimneys was home to Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne, one of the nation’s premier acting teams and husband and wife off stage.
