segregated public schools in the United States. The school is experiencing
extensive material failures ? crumbling ceiling and wall plaster, basement

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

comprehensive conservation treatment of the murals.

90,000
Katherine Dunham Archives, East St. Louis, Illinois
Hulla Huhm Dance Collection, Honolulu, Hawaii

dance troops? collections. Funds will address these problems and ensure
the preservation of these important African American, Korean American and
Native American traditions.

Institution Award amount: $ 750,000

largest and most significant collections of audio recordings documenting
the American experience from the 1890s to present. These collections

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

windows, fixtures and stenciling.

Springfield Award amount: $ 55,000
The Cahokia Site is one of the most important pre-Columbian archaeological
sites in North America. The well-preserved artifact-bearing deposits at

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

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

River National Heritage Area. Dating from the late 18th and early 19th

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

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. Maintained in a controlled state

which it became famous.

the house. Lack of climate control, improper storage and water
infiltration threaten the collection. Funds will be used to address these
problems.
Michigan

city council minutes, correspondence, petitions, reports of various
agencies, coroner reports and other public documents. They provide a

primary source images available to scholars.

students until 1980. The campus and buildings constructed of colorful

acres of fields, ponds, and forests. The 1793 Dwelling House, one of only

most complete assemblage of perishable prehistoric materials, including
miniature and full-size bows and arrows, feathers, wooden balls, sandals,
bone and shell beads and basketry fragments. It also provides incomparable
data for research into the origins and development of indigenous
traditional practices in the Americas. 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

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

newspaper clippings, photographs, playbills, posters, telegrams and the

artists, including Charles Russell, Frederic Remington, N. C. Wyeth and

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

amount: $ 300,000
Block Island?s 1874 Southeast Lighthouse is an unusual combination of a
working first-order lens and a Gothic Revival building. The lighthouse and

in 1993. Funds will be used to restore the lighthouse and keeper?s house
for a maritime museum.
