It's our second night in Lahinch. Our day began calm – and even a bit sunny – but now the rain is coming down in buckets, the wind is whistling, and the waves are beating the rocks on the beach below. In other words, it was a perfect Irish day. Victorian Village of Kilkee, County […] The post Kilkee: County Clare's Victorian Village appeared first on Ireland Family Vacations.

Memphis' Adams Avenue is where the rich built their homes during the Victorian era. Today, it is referred to as the Victorian Village, but in its heyday, this was Millionaire's Row. These gorgeous homes not only represent the opulent lifestyle of the rich Victorian times, they hold history and ghosts. Memphis has an amazingly rich history and culture that is both positive and dark and that is the case with the spirits here too. Some are benevolent, while others are hostile. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Memphis' Victorian Village!

My guest today is Kenny McDonald, third president and CEO of the Columbus Partnership, a civic organization of our city's top business leaders. His current day-to-day environment varies greatly from his early childhood experience, living on a ranch in Eastern Montana – which sounds like an episode straight out of Yellowstone. This small town upbringing, and his achievements playing team sports, shaped the man, and the leader, he is today. In this episode, we learn how he's translated those qualities to his career work as a community builder. In fact, he tells us of a recruiting trip he took here just before the Columbus Partnership came to be, where he and his family were introduced to the city on ComFest weekend – an important city event that just celebrated its 50th anniversary this past weekend in Victorian Village. I ask Kenny about how his role has changed, both after taking over as CEO, and since the beginning of our current period of social and economic upheaval. We also unpack the perfect circumstances, and incredible teamwork by hundreds across the region, it took to land the Intel development project for our city. Kenny's voice and perspective on the true viability and cultural health of Columbus is second to none. Even, and especially, as the larger civic foundation shakes under our feet, he and the community leaders he's taken on the role of “coach” for, represent as good a shot as any we have at coming out the other side as a stronger, more united people.  The only thing we can do now is come together. I'm proud to be part of Kenny's team and excited to share this important episode with you this week. What Brett asks: Kenny's early childhood on a sheep ranch Prioritizing sports over academics  Embracing leadership roles  Cultural experience going to grad school in the South Getting into economic development  Gaining a global perspective and building a network Moving from Charlotte to Columbus Hope for the future To learn more about intentional living, and for the complete show notes, visit: http://brett-kaufman.com/ (brett-kaufman.com) Resources: https://columbuspartnership.com/ (Columbus Partnership) https://columbusregion.com/ (One Columbus) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kennymcdonald/ (Kenny McDonald) Gravity is produced and published by http://crate.media/ (Crate Media).

The Victorian Village is a small neighborhood next to Memphis' Medical District, at the edge of downtown. The area’s most famous characteristic is its collection of 19th-century mansions, which are well-known for their beautiful architecture. If anyone is not familiar with the Victorian architectural styles for which this area was named, it’s really interesting to research, especially if you’re a fan of really pretty buildings like we are. To even brush past all of the Victorian styles that are present in the world, or even in the US, would take a lot of time and much more knowledge than we possess, so we’re just going to point out some of the characteristics of the Woodruff-Fontaine house, since… well, that’s what this episode is about.  Woodruff- Fontaine House Woodruff-Fontaine is considered to be built in Second Empire French-Victorian style, which can be characterized by having elaborate detailing; a heavy cornice (which is decorative trim where the walls meet the roof); a square tower located at the center of the facade; a railing around the top of the roof; hooded or bracketed windows; tall, almost floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor; and steps leading from the street up to the doorway. If you’ve ever seen the Woodruff-Fontaine house, this should all sound familiar. Symmetry and balance are very important in this style, and there’s a perfect example in the foyer of the house. There are matching doors on either side of the pathway leading through the back of the foyer. One of them functions as a door and the other opens onto a brick wall. It was built there simply to keep the room balanced and symmetrical. (Fun fact, the fake door, that was put in place to create the symmetry, has the names of the builders, I believe, signed on the back of it) Most of the amazing homes that still remain in Victorian Village have now been renovated and, like Woodruff-Fontaine, serve as museums that teach visitors about the Victorian era in the US. One of the homes, the James Lee House, has been turned into a beautiful bed & breakfast, and another one is an upscale, retro-chic bar known as Mollie Fontaine’s. In the mid-19th century, Memphis experienced a period of growth that can be credited to an influx of entrepreneurs, lawyers, and politicians. Some of Memphis’s wealthiest residents built lavish, Victorian-style homes in what was then the outskirts of the city, but is now right in the heart of the city. This area became known as the Victorian Village, and the main street through the neighborhood was nicknamed "Millionaires Row." As the city expanded, this neighborhood became less appealing and less exclusive, and by the end of World War II, many of the wealthy residents had abandoned their mansions and moved to more affluent areas. Sadly, many of the original homes have since been torn down. All of the remaining houses in the neighborhood are safe from this same fate because they are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Woodruff-Fontaine House also has quite an interesting history…   Amos Woodruff and his brother came to Memphis from Rahway, New Jersey in 1845 to expand their carriage-making business. Although his brother returned home to New Jersey, Amos stayed in Memphis and found great success in multiple business ventures. In addition to his carriage-making business, he was involved in establishing two banks, a railroad company, an insurance company, a hotel, a cotton compress firm, and a lumber company. He also became the President of the City Council and ran for mayor twice.  Amos Woodruff In 1870, Amos Woodruff purchased land next to the Goyer House, now known as the James Lee House, paid $12,000 for the plot and began construction on the mansion. The house was designed by Edward Culliatt Jones and Matthias H. Baldwin, who owned a local architecture firm, and would end up costing the Woodruffs $40,000 to build. Edward Jones was the architect behind some well-known churches in M...

Loretta McNary Live is a live call in lifestyle show featuring high energy resolution oriented interiews with celebrities, thought leaders, industry experts and amazing unsung heroes helping others find and live in their purpose. Our guest today is Mayor Lee Harris. Mayor Lee Harris shares his plan, purpose and passion for decreasing juvenile delinquency in Memphis/Shelby County. In 2014, Lee Harris was elected to the State Senate, becoming the youngest senator in the state of Tennessee. Other Democratic senators selected him as Senate Minority Leader, making him the first African American leader of the state senate in Tennessee history. Among his legislative initiatives, he has pushed for treatment coverage for persons with sickle cell, a condition that plagues communities across the state; advocated for new laws to protect children from abuse; fought for expansion of recycling and environmentally-friendly practices in state government; championed new laws to reform our criminal justice system; helped create system to ensure immediate public notification if lead is found in drinking water; and worked to expand community college scholarships for students with learning disabilities.  Harris served on the Memphis City Council. Among other accomplishments, Harris was a leader in the fight for a new citywide non-discrimination ordinance. He led the charge to preserve and redevelop city museums and historic structures in Victorian Village, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods.  Senator Harris is a tenured full professor of law at the University of Memphis Law School. He is believed to be the only African-American to achieve that rank in the history of the Law School and he is the inaugural holder of the Federal Express Professorship in Law. He is the author of two textbooks. He earned his undergraduate degree from Morehouse and his law degree from Yale. 

Guests: Kevin Wheeler & James Goodman, City of Columbus Tune in to hear from Kevin and James about the historical side of renovating, the process to preserve it, and what it means to live in one of Columbus's 14 historic districts. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Kevin Wheeler began working for the city of Columbus in 1989 with a background in City Planning at The Ohio State University. He is now a part of the planning division for land and structures throughout Columbus and works to preserve historic districts in Columbus including commercial and residential properties. James Goodman, the Historic Preservation Officer, grew up around older homes working with his grandfather and father. He currently serves 18 historic districts including four well-known Columbus locations: German Village, Italian Village, Victorian Village, and Brewery District. When it comes to preserving history while remodeling these 18 districts, there is a unique balance. Each district currently has a set of their own guidelines with best practices while remodeling and maintaining the integrity of the home. It all begins with a history or map of the proposed district; identifying unique attributes in the architecture, common themes, and other structural guidelines within the district. This task is completed by the residents of the community working together. When an application to create a historic district is submitted to the City of Columbus, a public hearing is held and decides if the districts meet the code. Being a historic district is an added attribute and stability for homes in these locations. City Council then makes a final decision regarding the status of the district. Commissions in historic districts take on the task of approving changes on parcels during a remodel such as room additions or other exterior work that could change the structure or look of the overall home. The commission is made up of people with various skill sets and is appointed by the Mayor. Many homeowners can present an idea or project that is then reviewed by the commission and work alongside them in making sure it fits with the district while still preserving the original craftsmanship.

In this episode of Memphis Type History: The Podcast, we look at the history behind a few Memphis mansions. Hear from Caitlin about Ashlar Hall's many lives and the history behind the Woodruff Fontaine House. Then hear Rebecca tell a little history and description of the Annesdale mansion which could be your next wedding location.     Ashlar Hall Robert Brinkley Snowden grew up in Annesdale with his parents, Robert Bogardus Snowden and Annie Overton Brinkley Snowden, who lived in the Annesdale mansion because Annie’s dad bought it for them (learn more about Annesdale from Rebecca later in the show!) He went to Princeton to study architecture and returned to Memphis in 1896 to build everyone’s favorite 11,000 square foot local castle at 1937 Central Avenue – Ashlar Hall! This quote that Creme de Memph dug up from Memphis: An Architectural Guide about the Gothic Revival Mansion was simply delightful: "one wonders what books about medieval castles Snowden brought back with him from Princeton, or perhaps the whole may have been influenced by a too-early reading of Ivanhoe." The three-story, 8-bedroom mansion only cost $24,900 to build, which is $683,767.48 in today’s money. Inside are six bars, five bathrooms, and a swimming pool. Rumor has it there are two secret passages under the mansion: One passing under Lamar to Snowden mansion in Annesdale and the other leading under Central to the University Club’s pool area. Snowden would go on to take over the Peabody Hotel when it relocated in 1925, as the original one was started by his great-grandfather, Colonel Robert C. Brinkley, back in 1869. After Robert died in 1942, the place went into disrepair and became a Grisanti’s restaurant called Conestoga Steak House at some point in the ‘60s. In 1970 it became Ashlar Hall Restaurant. In 1983 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The mansion’s next life began in the ‘90s when Prince Mongo turned it into a nightclub called the Castle for a few years before abandoning it. Sometime around 2013, ownership started switching around for Ashlar Hall and the property fell further into disrepair. There are links below for the latest on its current life. Woodruff-Fontaine House This mansion of Memphis is located at 680 Adams in the heart of Victorian Village. In 1845, Amos Woodruff and his brother arrived in Memphis from Rahway, New Jersey, with the intent of expanding their business of making carriages. Although his brother went back to New Jersey, Amos found great success with carriages in Memphis and his other ventures: the Overton Hotel, two banks, a cotton compress firm, a lumber company, running the Memphis & Ohio Railroad, and the Southern Life Insurance Company In 1870, Woodruff spent $12,000 on land in “Millionaire’s Row,” in what was then the outskirts of Memphis. It's now known as Victorian Village, and it was here that he started building his five-story French Victorian mansion at a cost of $40,000. He also built a carriage house on the property alongside beautiful gardens and fountains. He lived in this 18-room mansion, with its three great halls and a three-story tower, with his wife, Phoebe, and their four children: Sallie, Mollie, Frank, and Cora. Many believe that the Woodruff-Fontaine house is haunted by Mollie Woodruff’s ghost. Some haunted moments include staff seeing Mollie's form in smoke, seeing her sitting on the bed in her former childhood room, and her demonstrations of anger like slamming doors and breaking items when anything gets moved or redecorated. Supposedly, her bed is sometimes dented as if someone has been lying there.... even though it’s roped off from all visitors. One paranormal website said she once told museum docents how they should have the furniture arranged. So of course we have to tell you more about her in this episode! In the 1960s, the mansion was in danger of demolition. So the Memphis chapter of the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities started raising funds to renovate the property. They outfitted it for modern times, restored antique elements, and even found a fresco on one of the ballroom’s ceilings! It opened back up in 1964, although it wasn’t quite finished up at that point yet. Many people donated the furniture and stuff that’s inside, and how it’s a proper museum showing 1800s life in Memphis! Annesdale Mansion The Annesdale mansion was built in 1850 on Lamar Avenue which, at the time, was called Pigeon Roost Road. The home was originally built by Dr. Samuel Mansfield, a wholesale druggist from Maryland, on 200 acres on the outskirts of Memphis. Nineteen years later, Colonel Robert Brinkley, the guy who built the Peabody Hotel bought the estate as a wedding gift to his daughter Annie and it was named Annesdale, for Annie's Dale. Since 1869, Annesdale has been home to the same family for at least 7 generations. Annie married Col. Robert Bogardus Snowden. And for 160 years, members of the socially prominent Snowden family lived here. It is Italian Villa in style, built with bricks made on the site. It has a four-story tower which overlooks the current seven and a half acre park-like setting. The Details The Annesdale is an 1850 antebellum mansion nestled amongst seven and a half acres of elegant lawns and gardens. It holds a grand parlor, spiral staircase, and a marble entryway. A great description can be found in a Memphis Magazine article which states,  We were told that the +17,000-square-foot home has 13 rooms, five bedrooms, and four and a half baths. The downstairs public spaces have 14-foot ceilings, and the period details include: 11 fireplaces, pocket doors, carved walnut paneling, intricate needlework panels over the windows, stained glass, painted ceilings with exquisite figural details, ornate plasterwork and lustrous oak floors. Ken Robison is the one who purchased the home and estate in 2010 and rennovated and reopened the mansion as an event space. He says the Snowdens have been extremely gracious in helping him buy back antique pieces from family members that were original to the home. He has found additional items that once belonged there through other sources. In particular, he is especially proud of the portrait of Annie Overton Brinkley which hangs in the music room. As history tells us, when Annie married Colonel Robert Bogardus Snowden, her father, Colonel Robert C. Brinkley, made Annesdale a wedding gift from her father. And as the new owner likes to say, 'Annie has come home at last.' A later discovery... In 2016 a bone fragment, possibly human, was found in the grate of a boarded-up fireplace inside the mansion when a photographer came across it during a photoshoot. It went under investigation but Rebecca couldn't find if a verdict was ever made aside from knowledge that it was very very old, likely from the Civil War era which would make sense since the mansion did serve as a hospital during that time. If anyone knows of any updates on the discovery, please tell!

In this episode of Memphis Type History: The Podcast, Caitlin chats with Julie McCullough of  This Place in History, an Instagram feed we are excited to introduce you to. She typically features Memphis homes that are on the National Historic Registry, but you can find a few other types of historical nuggets on there from time to time. Julie was motivated to start her American history inspired Instagram feed by a combination of things: seeing American Pickers, researching  her great-great-grandfather's story from Memphis history, and her architect brother's line of work. We talk about East Buntyn her stories about her favorite Memphis street (spoiler alert, it's Front), and learn about charming historical Memphis homes. Her police officer great-great-grandfather was shot in the line of duty on Front Street chasing a robber who stoles a dollar from a lady downtown. He was the first police death for the city. Citizens of Memphis and the Memphis Police Department raised $2,000 for Parkinson's family after his death. Mrs. Parkinson used the money to buy land in Rosemark, TN (near Millington) and some of which still belongs to Julie's uncle. Julie thinks that since the family moved from Memphis to Rosemark, she ended up growing up in Millington. Julie also shares her personal connections to Front Street, including a meaningful poem you can find there on the wall. We also talk about the haunted Mollie Fontaine home, a favorite of Julie's and one you can visit for a drink or a good hang, and we touch on the Castle, which was Julie's very first post! A year later she posted the back of the Castle to celebrate her one-year Instagrammiversary. Next we move onto her explorations of Victorian Village, where the "big guns" are, and her explorations of Holly Springs and beyond. Listen to this one to get inspired about exploring history in your own way... maybe you'll get an idea for a project too! For all the photos, visit memphistypehistory.com/place

George Mabon shares his hope in relationships and life. George E. Mabon is Vice President of Human Resources for the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA). The Airport Authority is the governing body behind Memphis International Airport, which ranked as the world’s #1 air cargo airport in the world for 18 consecutive years. FedEx, the Authority’s largest tenant, helps to make Memphis International the world’s busiest airport in the world after midnight. George began his career with MSCAA in 1996 when he was hired as Manager of Human Resources. Within a few short years he was promoted to Director of Human Resources. In 2007, he was appointed VP of Human Resources by Larry Cox; President/CEO of the Authority for the past 28 years. As the head of HR at the Authority, George and his dedicated staff of HR professionals have responsibility for employment, employee relations, labor relations, benefits and compensation, training, O&D, formulation and implementation of policies and programs, reporting and compliance, and many of the company-sponsored employee activities and events. George feels very fortunate that his primary focus everyday is on the most important asset the Authority has – their team of very loyal, hard-working employees. George says, “Very few of my HR colleagues at other organizations can boast of less than 5% turnover annually – where the #1 reason for attrition is retirement.” When George is not spending time at the airport, he is still honing his HR skills and upholding the profession as a longtime member of SHRM, and SHRMMemphis where he previously served as President. He received the TN State Council’s Professional Excellence Award in 2002, and is a current member of the SHRM-Memphis Executive Roundtable. George is also on the Steering Committee for ACI-NA (a global aviation organization) where he and several HR colleagues who are HR practitioners from various other airports in the US and Canada came together to form a coalition that is now an ACI-NA Committee. George is a graduate of the Leadership Memphis Executive Class of 2005 and served a 3-year term on the Board of Directors. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Memphis Child Advocacy Center (where he is also past-Chair) and on the Board for Victorian Village, Inc. His previous board work includes Playhouse on the Square, Memphis Film Forum, Friends For Life, Inc., the Alliance for the Blind and Visually Impaired, and served on St. Peter Catholic Church Parish Council and the St. Martin DePorres Shrine and Institute Advisory Board.
