In 1956, the Landscape Architecture program moved into the building. By this time, you can see that the columns and balustrade have been removed and the second floor porch closed in (see previous post). ------------------------------- #historicarchitecture #historicpreservation #historicbuilding #historicfacade #universityofgeorgia #denmarkhall #rememberieshp #rememberies

Denmark Hall's historic facade. Over time the facade lost some of its most character-defining features, like the columns and balustrade. What remained was a functional but fairly flavorless design. We recommended that all of these facade features be restored and character returned! ------------------------------- #historicdininghall #rememberies #rememberieshp #historicstructurereport #hsr #denmarkhall #universityofgeorgia #historicfacade #historicbuilding #historicpreservation #historicarchitecture

Denmark Hall was built in 1901 as the University of Georgia's first dining hall. While it was formally named after alumnus and fundraiser extraordinaire Brantley A. Denmark, it was affectionately known as "The Beanery" (an unflattering allusion to the quality of the fare). ------------------------------- Pictured: 2 interior views of the dining hall (top left and bottom right), salt and pepper shakers engraved with a 'D' (bottom left), and a porcelain egg cup with gilded lettering. ------------------------------- #denmarkhall #universityofgeorgia #historicbuilding #historicarchitecture #hsr #historicstructurereport #rememberieshp #rememberies #historicdininghall

Denmark Hall is near and dear to my heart. It is the home of my historic preservation program at the University of Georgia and the site of many fond memories. It is also a dump. This spring, @temporaltourist, @sophiamlatz and I convinced the University Architects Office to take the first step in rehabilitating this historic building. We completed an HSR and handed that foundation over to the current students to (hopefully) continue the process in the coming years. ------------------------------- #historicpreservation #rememberieshp #rememberies #hsr #historicbuilding #historicarchitecture #denmarkhall #universityofgeorgia #rehabilitation

(3/3) [above] evidence that some poor animal was trying desperately to get out.

(5/5) The Dupree-Appling house's hand-hewn beams and sash-sawn joists suggest a pre-1850 date, but the circular-sawn lathe and floorboards suggest a post-1850 date. The cut nails could date to any time in the 19th century. The pre and post 1850 techniques mix throughout the house and do not indicate two construction phases or renovations. The final verdict? The Dupree-Appling house was built in one phase around 1850. ------------------------------- #andthatsawrap #dupreeappling #historicstructurereport #architecture #rememberieshp #rememberies #greekrevival #vernacular #hsr #lexingtonga #historicpreservation (at Lexington, Georgia)
