PROJECT SUMMARY: This project will restore the missing exterior features on the White House. All features are numbered by the corresponding number on the photopages and project scope of work. Features include: 1) the replication of missing light fixtures, 2)replication of missing trellises off the east sunporch, 3)replication of four missing window storms and one screen, 4) restoration and installation of historic porch doors off the east first floor sunporch, 5) uncovering, restoration, and replacement (in -kind and as only necessary) of hard landscape features (historic limestone walkways and curbing) at the entrances, on the outer edge of the driving circle (curbing), and on the inner edge of the driving circle (walkway), and 6) removal of widened, built -up asphalt drive and replacement with lower profile, historically narrow driving circle with drainage and proper substrate. THE HISTORIC RESOURCE: Four Mounds Estate: This historic estate was largely built between 1908 and 1940, when the two main families who owned and developed Four Mounds built their homes and the supporting buildings. It is the place they occupied until 1982 when Elizabeth Burden bequeathed the property to the City of Dubuque. In 1987, Four Mounds Foundation was organized and fully charged with all responsibility of the site. Viola (Rider) and George A. Burden developed the site in 1908 and built what came to be known as the Grey House (a Lawrence Buck design) and hired A. Phelps Wyman. as their landscape architect. The 54 acres of largely savannah and bluffland overlooking Mississippi River was naturally landscaped and populated with pleasant buildings and hard site features. The farm campus (including the Barn /Garage, Chauffeur's house and Gardener's house) was largely developed between 1908 -1910. The Burdens' son, George R. (or Bill) married Elizabeth Adams in 1925 and they built their home, the White House, just east of the Grey House. The couple raised their three girls at idyllic river -side home. The Foundation has adopted the late 1930s as a time of significance for the site, as it was a time when both families stopped growing and most of the buildings on site were built, lived in, and had received their last major modifications. The site (per Ralph Christian) is believed to be the only intact remaining gentleman's farm in Iowa. The site is a Dubuque Landmark Site, which protects not just buildings, but the entire site and its features, as a result of the Foundation's nomination. The site has two listings on the National Register of Historic Places: 1) as a historic district for the estate and some subsequently acquired blufflands, and 2)another for the namesake native American burial mounds which are believed to be from the middle woodland era. This site is also a Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area Partner. The foundation has partnered with Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and the estate's neighbors to the north and south to create buffer areas through conservation easements, increasing the original area of protected land from 54 acres to over 100. The White House Campus: The White House was second and last major residence at Four Mounds, built between 1924 -1925 and by 1940, its additions and major modifications were complete. By 1940, the campus was well developed around the White House, including the woodshop, limestone walks, garden shed, rock garden, driving circle, and children's playhouses (including yard, swimming pool and playground). Far away from the city, cars and traffic on Peru Road, and even the work of the staff at the Barn /Garage and chauffeur's house, this quiet environs perched over the Mississippi River provided the Burdens with an idyllic setting for raising their family of three girls. Of historic note: It is unknown who the architect was, but close relatives and close business associates of Bill & Elizabeth had contemporary houses built in the Dubuque area by Howard Van Doren Shaw, a Chicago architect that built many estates on the shore north of Chicago. The White House has a striking resemblance to other Van Doren Shaw homes and those he built in Dubuque, although the White House is on a smaller scale. The home's traditionally colonial styled windows were made by Carr Ryder Adams Co. (Caradco), owned in part by the Burdens ( Elizabeth Burden's maiden name was Adams). The kitchen also features Caradco cabinets, both custom made and stock cabinetry. USE OF PROPERTY: The White House was built for Bill & Elizabeth Burden to raise their growing family. The family, house and grounds were attended by many staff, but primarily by three people: 1) the housekeeper (Mildred Hahlen, lived at the White House for over 50 years), 2) the caretaker (John & then Leo Heitzman, lived at the Gardener's house spanning six decades) and 3) the chauffeur (Milton Kirch, lived at the Chauffeur's house for over 30 years). It is notable that the staff mentioned above, with their long standing service, had well established routines that created a sense of order and serenity that was expected Four Mounds. The Burden families' chauffeur would drop the Burdens on the driving circles in front of the houses and would store the cars away from the main houses, at the Barn /Garage next to his own home. Bill Burden, who was stricken with polio as a teenager, utilized a golf cart in 1950s -60s to get around Four Mounds, and it was stored inside the garden shed. Traffic simply wasn't an issue in their time. Today, with management staff working out of the White House and accommodating visitors to our site, we have circulation issues and parking problems because of a lack of planned accommodation for today's cars. The White House is under restoration and we are nearing completion, in the finishing and furnishing stage. This summer we plan to obtain a license to operate the home as an extension of our successful Inn & Conference Center (the Grey House and Marvin Gardens cabin are already in use) which provides a sustainable source of income to help maintain and operate Four Mounds. The parking and circulation issue will compound when the White House opens for guests later this year, if they are not addressed in a managed and thoughtful way. As we move forward with restoration of the White House and driving circle, Four Mounds is also prepared to move ahead with the development of a aesthetically obscured parking area away from the house and circle, as well as an invisible overflow parking creating another seven spaces at the current parking circle which now barely accommodates three cars. The actual White House south facade lies only six feet from the driving circle, while the column bases at the main entrance sit less than three inches from the circle. Currently the circle is crowned high with layers of asphalt, shedding water down to the remaining exposed walkway to the south and to the entrances and house foundation at the north. After rain and snow melts, water pools and saturates the ground in the six feet of distance between the house and the circle. The crowned asphalt has spilled over with each new layer, obscuring approximately 40% of the historic limestone walkway, as the driving circle was widened over the years to accommodate unmanaged traffic. On the north side, the asphalt actually sits higher than the original rough cut limestone curbing and flagstone areas. Originally it was on a lower plane, as evidenced in the photos on pages 9 & 10. (Even the 1970s image on page 10 clearly shows the historic relationship of the road to the walkway & curbing, as well as it's narrower width.) PROJECT BACKGROUND: In 2010, Four Mounds underwent an extensive search for a Landscape Architect to develop an Illustrated Site Plan and Landscape Heritage Assessment to address multiple, overlapping issues and needs of the site and organization. The committee choice, Jeffrey L. Bruce & Company, in collaboration with Landscape Historian Frank Edgerton Martin, provided much more in scope and service than any other candidate. The result was a plan that layered a comprehensive heritage assessment and restoration plan and the following issues: fire suppression, property connections, drainage, parking, ecological sustainability, visitor capacity, and accessibility /ADA compliance. In this project, Four Mounds looks to address the White House zone (or campus). Changing needs and use has resulted in heavy wear and tear around what should be a serene, riverside residence. This project restores lost and obscured exterior house features and restores the driving circle back to its original configuration and use, a one -way circulation, for drop -off only. Currently, when there are more than two cars at the house, people park on the circle (which requires passing on the lawn), the lawn, and in garden areas haphazardly. In the next year, we estimate that between staff and guests we'll typically need about 8 spaces, but at times will need overflow as well. To do this, the foundation must necessarily find alternative, reasonable and obscured parking options, but that part of the project is not included as a match or request for this grant. The plan features a new obscured lot, away from the White House and tucked behind the woodshop, as well as an "invisible" grass paver overflow lot in the 2- car - parking - circle. This solution will accommodate our needs without obscuring views of the White House and ruining the historic features and gardens. AFFECT ON RESOURCE: The restoration of missing or damaged (porch doors) features on the White House will allow us to finish the exterior restoration of the home, in preparation for use as an extension of our Inn & Conference Center. Opening the house will allow this building to be opened to the public for the first time in history, scheduled for the late summer /early fall of 2011. The regarding of the driving circle will help shed water away from the house and reveal the historic naturalist landscaping that was continued when the Four Mounds site was further developed, during the building of the White House. The issues regarding circulation and parking at the historic White House campus are accounted for because of 1) a change in use, and 2) a minimalist approach to changes on site. The result has been that people using cars on site don't have a directions or accommodation for parking and therefore take the easiest route: passing cars parked on the circle, parking in gardens, driving over historic features, using the circle in both directions. The plans for circulation will create appropriate signage that provides a clockwise direction and guides visitors to our parking area, taking their cars off the driving circle. This thoughtful approach to change minimizes the visual and physical impact of a significant change in use. It allows visitors to experience the White House the way that it was intended to be experienced in the Burdens' day. IMPACT ON COMMUNITY: Four Mounds Foundation exists a friends group to the site owned by the City of Dubuque. As a quasi -city park, this resource is a superb example of a gentleman's farm and is open 365 days per year. Entirely responsible for management, fundraising and operations, Four Mounds relies on community donations, grants, and creative sources of income for maintaining Four Mounds. One creative source, started in 1991, was the development of an Inn & Conference Center as a means for making Four Mounds open to the public. This project supports the expansion of this established, successful and sustainable operation. SOURCE OF MATCHING FUNDS: Matching funds are secured largely from an existing grant from the City of Dubuque's Historic District Public Improvement Program. In -kind services will come from professionals providing assistance and the cash match for staff will come from other existing foundation funds. OTHER PROJECTS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS GRANT: Projects already in process and not a part of this grant request or project are: the interior restoration and furnishing, and repair /replacement in kind of the failed porch columns and the smooth cut Becker limestone beneath them at the entrance /portico. A project outside the scope of this grant and project, but will take place simultaneously, is the development of: 1) an obscured parking area behind a berm, tree screening and the woodshop, 2) an invisible overflow parking spaces near the woodshop in the location of an existing parking area. This will allow Four Mounds to accommodate people during special events such as memorials or open houses. Specific Project Scope of Work This section is a critical part of the application.

STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF IOWA FY2012 REAP /HRDP Grants Part 3: Professional Involvement Name of Professional Involved in the Project: 1) Jeff Bruce, of Jeffrey L. Bruce & Associates, N. Kansas City, MO (JL Bruce is a landscape architect firm, consulting with Frank E. Martin, Landscape Historian, Minneapolis, MN) 2) Jeff Morton, of Jeffrey Morton Architects (Dubuque) The above firms have been engaged with Four Mounds in a Landscape Heritage Assessment over the past year. The planning on the White House campus was developed as part of this planning process. Jeffrey L Bruce and Jeffrey Morton's firms have made commitments to consult with us on this project on a pro bono basis. We will only utilize TAN if we find we need to bring Jeffrey Bruce into town for consultation. Jeff Morton, our local architect, recommended the contractors we have chosen based on their high quality-production reputation (from his experience) and their attention to detail when working on historic properties. These contractors include McDonald Carpentry (3 generation woodworker), Ja -Mar Pattern (worked with Jeff on the recent Roshek Building restoration and the Hotel Julien Dubuque projects) and River City Paving (the only firm Jeff recommended for this type of detail work around historic resources).

This was a comprehensive process for the historic grounds at Four Mounds, applying. "preservation strategies, treatments and solutions. During the process we took • a step back,. looking at the design intents of Four Mounds' architect Lawrence Buck and their landscape historic A. Phelps Wyman as well as the use and intents of the Burden families who built and lived at Four Mounds. Our 'results reflected those exercises and the needs of Four Mounds Foundation and the community today. I an excited to see Four. Mounds move forward with the first portion of the recommendations, restoring the historic driving circle, limestone walkways and curbing, and other historic features at,the White House campus, as they near completion of the White House and open it to the public for the first time in history. In the past year, I have met multiple times with their local architect Jeff Morton to work through restoration and reuse challenges in order to seek sensitive options for treatment. We have been pleased to work with this team of volunteers, staff, city representatives, Burden family members, and Jeff Morton to help make the right decisions that will help guide the next 100 years at Four Mounds. I stand ready to assist Four.Mounds through consultation. My hourly rate. is $145. Although we entered a contract with Four Mounds this year, we Well- exceeded our contract rate in staffing and resources because we were interested in the organization and the project. For this project, I will make myself available by phone and email during this grant on a pro -bono basis, - however, if there is *a need to assist on -site, we have discussed the possibility of using a TAN grant help offset those costs arid I understand Four Mbunds would be willing to help with overnight accommodations if the need arises.

Bruce & Company is award- winning landscape arch itectu re fi nn with a "living communities" philosophy for cultural landscape development - providing landscape ' perspective t o visual theming, design marketing, and messaging. Jeffrey L. Bruce & Company, LLC (JBC) is a national landscape architectural firm founded in Kansas City in 1986. JBC has demonstrated a firm grasp of historic preservation /national heritage planning, site planning, master planning, site design, landscape architecture, recreation planning, urban design, environmental assessments and resource management in projects that pioneer emerging green technologies. The firm's approach to creating restorative landscapes embraces three core philosophies: develop a detailed understanding of human and natural processes through research; create the appropriate solution to ensure sustainability in design; and design to meet the operational and maintenance resources of the client.JBC strives to preserve the integrity of previously designed outdoor spaces and design landscapes that respect their natural surroundings, while providing programmed and un- programmed activities for users of all ages. The JBC Team is committed to preservation, education, and new partnerships for many decades to come. As the basis of our work, we bring two core values: 1. The belief that historic sites and landscapes are never frozen in time. They live on through generations who find new ways of using and interpreting them. Our challenge as stewards in this generation is to find "treatments" and best practices that preserve these sites' essential character while making them relevant and affordable to maintain. Once a residence and farm, Four Mounds now has many new uses and partnership opportunites including education and mentoring. A new master plan can support these activities and unforeseen possibilities for the future. 2. The understanding that ecological sustainability and historic character can work together. With our blend of technical expertise, we challenge the common assumption that historic designed landscapes cannot be made more sustainable through such recent practices as rainwater gardens, permeable paving, and the introduction of living roofs and walls. We believe that historic character and resource conservation are not mutually - exclusive and that Four Mounds offers wonderful opportunities to innovate. The JBC Team brings a national perspective and experience in historic and cultural landscape preservation. Additionally, the team provides heritage planning and state of the art integrated sustainable best management practices as they relate to cultural landscapes. Our team approach includes Frank Edgerton Martin, one of the few landscape historians who works in large -scale planning and preservation projects while also reporting new ideas and best practices through design journalism nationally and internationally.

Bruce & Company, LLC Education Vassar College BA Philosophy, 1982 University of Wisconsin-Mad- ison. MS Landscape Architecture, 1987 (Cultural Landscape '! Preservation and History) JBC Design Philosophy Successful landscapes are complex and challenging systems, deserving of our understanding and attention at the smallest level. Jeffrey L. Bruce & Company sees highly specialized technical knowledge as critical in providing the best solution for design problems. Jeffrey L. Bruce & Company's approach to creating restorative landscapes embrace three core philosophies: develop a detailed understanding of human and natural processes through research; create the appropriate solution to ensure sustainability in design; and design to meet the operational and maintenance resources of the client. In the coming decades, our work anticipates emerging technologies converging with sustainability in the construction industry to create new advanced composite living building materials and systems. These materials will not just incorporate living ecologies as surface applications, but function as restorative systems for air, water and neighborhoods. Supporting this idea of "living architecture" we investigate building materials that will harness and incorporate the self - healing efficiencies of natural systems. We ask how advances in living building materials will not just be confined to buildings, but can extend into the landscape as contributors to environmental and human well- being. We use applied research and technology to healing function as "living communities" that will contribute to restoration of urban ecological balance through improved air quality, stormwater management, energy conservation, bio- diverse habitat and remediation of pollutants —all essential for a healthy life in America's metropolitan cities, suburbs, and rural areas. JBC strives to design outdoor spaces and recreational facilities that respect their natural surroundings and provide programmed and unprogrammed activities for users of all ages. Through "sports and wellness" we feel that a person's connection to the landscape can be sustained throughout a lifetime. We at JBC hope you share our commitment and excitement for this philosophy.

In the long term, these historic attributes, seen as evidence of time and change, can pro- vide the University a distinct and valued asset in drawing and en- lightening future members of this community. The planning team included team members Jeffrey L. Bruce and Company, as well as an Architectural Historian, Cultural Landscape Writer and Ecologi- cal Specialists which made for a truly collaborative effort. The University of Kansas Campus Heritage Plan has made pioneering advances in integrating new sustainable water treatment practices and species diversity and sustainability while preserving historic character. Now complete, the plan is one of the first in the country to create politically - realistic management tools that value Landscape Architecture equally with Architecture.

Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area ( FFNHA) is a historically significant region for the Westward Migration, Border War, and Civil War. Jeffrey L. Bruce and Company with Frank Martin led a team to craft a management plan for the region detailing where, why, and how the National Heritage Area will be developed. FFNHA is part of a new generation of national heritage areas that are managed as grassroots organizations. JBC worked with nu- merous groups and individuals to craft a vision and mission state- ment, along with simple -to -use toolkits and operational plans to en- act this vision. JBC was critical in developing the "Power of Place and Story" describing the regions uniqueness. The unifying theme, utilizing landscape as an organizing element for crafting "story eco- systems" of connected locations, was a revolutionary approach for a National Heritage Area and met with extremely high approval by the National Park Service, the FFNHA Board of Trustees, and the grassroots members of the heritage area.

The team studied native and planted landscapes, the spatial patterns of buildings, and the army's remarkable approach to planning and site grading. Located near both downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul and adjacent to the Twin Cities airport, the Upper Post offers tremendous reuse potential for housing, conference centers, technology start -ups and education. This reuse study offers siting options for new construction to preserve the historic cultural landscape of the Upper Post. Flexible for future investment yet fully - compliant with federal guidelines for this National Historic Landmark, the study is now guiding future development activities that can, in turn, generate funding for the resto- ration of the 28 surviving buildings. Like an old college campus, these buildings include barracks, houses, offices, and training buildings set in a river site was once known as "the country club of the army."

Bruce & Company has been engaged by Ozark Action, Inc. of West Plains, Missouri, to assist with the creation and formulation of a National Heritage Area Feasibility Study. The scope of work will provide documentation of the feasibility of an area designation and es- tablish the framework for approval as a National Heritage Area (NHA) and authorization for development of a National Heritage Area Man- agement Plan. The work effort to date by Ozark Action, Inc. and other state and local agencies and individuals has provided the basis to seek creation and formulation of a feasibility study of the designated area as the next step in the approval process. The Missouri Ozarks is a unique region, but it is not a NHA. The feasi- bility study process is used to determine if the area (currently including Howell, Douglas, Ozark, Wright, Texas, Shannon, Dent, Ripley, Or- egon, and Carter counties) has the features that could make it a NHA. Feedback from the public is critical to help understand the region, its voices, its stories, and its concerns. This study will be a valuable foundation resource for Ozark Action, Inc. as it moves through the National Heritage Area process. JBC will outline a framework process and schedule to provide a quality feasibility study that complies with new NPS guidelines. L A N D S C A P E A R C H I T E C T U R E Jeffrey L.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings, the Sedalia Katy Depot has recently undergone structural and exterior renovation of the historic building as the first phase of this extensive project. The second phase was the inclusion of an interactive railroad exhibit within the structure and landscape improvements to the site to reflect the historical significance of the building. Unique to this site was the abundance of original brick paving around the perimeter of the building and on the railroad platform area. A design solution was provided that captured the grandeur of a past era and provided opportunity for placement of railroad exhibits within the landscape to extend the existing indoor exhibit. The design solution also took the opportunity to capture open space at the entry of the building to reflect an appreciation for the building and its impact to the growth of Sedalia and Missouri.

It is one of the first house restoration efforts in Minnesota to incorporate extensive research on landscape history and restoration to interpret many periods. The house, having been passed down through four generations of one family, tells rich stories of changing social life and architectural fashions in residential architecture. The house was also among the few structures in the entire town of Hutchinson to survive the Dakota conflict of 1862. One impetus for this restoration project was a fire at the Harrington - Merrill house in 2002 when the kitchen wing was destroyed and the house itself nearly lost. In 2004, the property was transferred to the City of Hutchinson for use as part of the park system. Since that time, with strong support from city staff and the financial support of Historic Hutchinson Inc., the restoration of the house, landscape, and the re- creation of the kitchen wing are being planned to foster a unique historic site experience in Hutchin- son, Minnesota. The restoration of the house and its grounds is a rare opportunity for Hutchinson to create a regional learning attraction and a local home for civic and cultural events. The project report is supporting future planning and fundraising.

The intent of the improvements involving green roofs, water quality, stormwater mitigation and management, bio - swales, rain gardens, erosion control, bio - remediation, phyto- remediation, and decreasing impervious surfaces is to develop a systems based integrat- ed green infrastructure which connects all of these green technologies into a cohesive utility. As a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Proposal sub- mitted in 2009, Jeffrey L. Bruce & Company (JBC) assisted JCCC in identifying a green infrastructure project in the southeast quadrant of the campus, which was the flagship component within a larger campus ini- tiative. A green infrastructure plan was schematically designed by JBC to incorporate a series of interconnected bio - swales and rain gardens that would store, filter, and slowly release stormwater runoff into a large con- structed wetland. This demonstration project will mitigate approximately 25% of the impervious surfaces of the 234 acre campus. L A N D S C A P E A R CH I T EC T U R E Jeffrey L.

The depot was originally opened in 1889 by the Union Pacific Railroad. The building instantly became of hub of community activity and was the point of departure and return for soldiers during World War I and World War II. Eventually train travel dwindled and in 1984 when the railroad discontinued freight service it made plans to tear down the building. Agroup of Lawrence residents began an aggressive campaign with the railroad and the City of Lawrence to restore the structure. After several years Union Pacific agreed to turn the depot over to the City. The multimillion - dollar restoration of the building was completed with grant money and community donations. It opened as the Lawrence Visitor Infor- mation Center in 1996. The formal garden in front of the depot was designed by Jeffrey L. Bruce & Company reflecting a historic trend of the turn of the last century, when the growing country looked to Europe to emulate the design of public spaces. Skillful site planning by JBC allowed the parking lot to be screened, preserving a view of the historic depot .,_ framed by the formal garden. A R C H I T E C T U R E Jeffrey L.
