Z 7 Za ture: Aut or' e al Government Official Da e Name and Title (Print or Type) W11 CLG GRANT APPLICATION: FY20 CLG: City of Seward Project Name: Seward Historic Sites Walking Tour-Signage and Map Project PROJECT INFORMATION f. PROJECT DESCRIPTION a. Provide a brief introduction to your project including the aim, scope and significance of the project to your community. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The primary purpose of the project is to increase awareness of Seward's historic district sites and their significance. (i.e. sites 50 years or older). We intend to do this by creating a walking tour of important historic sites located in Seward. We have identified 25 such sites, many of which are of historic significance not only to Seward but to the State of Alaska. Examples of the importance to the early development of the state would be the bank and vault located in Brown and Hawkins through which most of the early gold from the interior passed through on its way south or the Cable House which significantly shortened the time it took for news to be sent to and from Alaska and lastly the story of how Anchorage received its name because of the SS Bertha delivering goods for sale at the mouth of Ship Creek, the need for an elaborate anchoring system due to large tides in Cook Inlet and a township that developed. A secondary purpose is we believe there is a cultural and economic benefit to the creation of a walking tour in our historic Seward downtown area. Discussions have been informally held with both local community and tourism companies that indicate a need and desire for more identified locations of interest and "things to do in WPF Grant Application for CLGS 40 Rev: Dec 2020 Downtown Seward" for the over 100 cruise ships and their passengers who visit in the summer months. It should be noted there is much local community support from the City of Seward, Rotary and others. Our intent and plan of action is to: Order and install signage at approximately 25 historical sites. • Each site will feature signage with a cohesive theme detailing the importance to the City of Seward and the story behind the structure or point of interest. ® The tour will be supported by a printed map which will be carried by local hotels, restaurants, and businesses. ® We have been offered support from the City of Seward's personnel. The City Manager has indicated full support for this project_ • Budget allowing, we will also install directional signage to establish the parameters of the walking tour. • The above will result in a comprehensive inventory and display of historic properties that will add to Seward's position as a destination for both in -state and out-of-state visitors. There is both a cultural and economic benefit to the city by completing this project. b. List any previous HPF grants this project has received. (Cite HPF # or grant name) While not specific to this project, the City of Seward has received and successfully completed several previous HPF grants. FY2017: Historic Preservation Education (NAPC Forum) $2966 FY2016: Historic Preservation Plan: $1300 FY2015: Education: Alaska Historic Preservation Conf. National Trust: $3426 FY2012: Local Historic Preservation training, communities including Seward $29,076 FY2010: Providing Public Access to cemetery information: $5,328 FY2010: Iditarod Trail Centennial monument structure: $21,828 FY2009: Local HP Commission Training: $24,611 for CLG Commissions including Seward FY2009: Seward development/Pre-development of Hoben Park planters: $6,300 c. Briefly describe the relationship of this project to past, present, or future preservation work. This project is a continuation of efforts to produce a consistent inventory and awareness of Seward's rich history since the formation of the city. A physical inventory has been completed of all known historic sites and buildings. This is a continuous work in progress. For purposes of this project, we are focusing on 25 known cultural sites in order to foster interest in this project. We believe that this is relevant to future preservation work as the creation of a walking tour provides a tangible asset for tourism as well as cultural pride. By increasing public awareness of sites of historical interest and by showing the economic benefit to individuals and businesses alike, we believe we can increase interest and investment in the preservation of Seward's historical sites and buildings. Essentially, this represents a commitment in increased promotion of the culture and importance of subject buildings, artifacts and history. 2. PRESERVATION OBJECTIVES How does the project relate to annual CLG grant priorities established for this fiscal year? (Cite relevant HPF Grant Application for CLGs 412 Rev: Dec 2020 grant priorities and explain how each relates to your project.) Projects that install interpretive signs calling attention to significant historic places, and produce educational materials emphasizing historic preservation and that educate property owners about historic preservation laws and programs, especially about archaeological resources on lots with buildings. This project proposes to install interpretive signs to highlight sites of interest as part of a Historic Seward Walking tour. We will produce a map that will allow visitors as well as members of the local community to gain deeper knowledge about Seward's rich history. Each sign will depict, in a consistent format, historical pictures (where available) as well as narrative about the relevance of the structure or site to Seward's history. Part of the process will involve educating owners of said properties about the value of their property to Seward's history. In some cases, owners may have extensive knowledge. In many cases, they do not. That is where the HP commission, Benny Benson High School and the city can assist with archives and research. Other than installing signs, that is the significant portion of work that will be completed: Taking the inventory that has been created and cataloging the history behind the structure. This will all result in interesting, informative signage (similar to one attached for Govt. Cable house) that will entice viewers to want to know more about and to support historic preservation. This may also encourage property owners to be more aware of historic preservation guidance and/or laws that may benefit them through available funding from preservation programs. Again, this represents a shift in culture with a "why" to preservation efforts. Part of establishing the history of buildings may also include education and research on the archaeological resources on the lots (perhaps for a future project). Example of a current sign which is installed at the Government Cable House (Telegraph House) The historic Government Cable Office was constructed in 1905 by the U.S. Army Signal Corps as part of the Washington Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System or WAMCATS. Telegraph service from the US Northwest was first established to Valdez, with a submarine cable being extended to Seward in the summer of 1905. The people and equipment in this office connected Seward with the rest of the United States. Before the telegraph line, outside news arrived via steam ship, then carried by dog sled to the interior. Often, waiting on a reply from Washington DC could take up to a year! The first message over the line was on August 7, 1905 to the president of the Alaska Central Railway, A.C. Frost, in Chicago: "This first message transmitted over Alaska Cable connects Seward from this day to the great city of Chicago. "Among initial regular users of the telegraph line was the local newspaper. Frank Ballaine, the owner of the Seward Daily Gateway, began featuring the previous day's news from the rest of the United States in his paper. The front room of the building was open to the public to send and receive messages, with the central part serving as the operator's station. Army personnel operated the office and lived on the second floor. In 1918 the Navy established a radio office in Seward. Consequently, when an earthquake severed the submarine cable line, it was deemed unnecessary to repair. However, in December 1941, the U.S. Army Alaska Communications System cable between Seattle and Seward was re-established. This permitted important dispatches to be transmitted via cable, protecting them from enemy interception over radio circuits. During that time this building was utilized as housing for ACS personnel. The government retained ownership until 1961, and since that time the building has served as a private home and summer rental currently owned by Tanguy and Marcella Libbrecht. Below is an example of the type of signage that we would install at said locations: HPF Grant Application for CLGs 4� Rev: Dec 2020 1aa OanaAannat Cali.

Projects that address the rehabilitation of historic properties and leverage funds and resources. Restoring and preserving defining elements of historic properties and addressing sustainability of them are encouraged. This project leverages funding by creating interest from the business sector in how Historic Tourism can bring more visitors who will stay longer and spend more money in the town of Seward. Simply put, there is an economic advantage to creating the tour. Owners of said sites will receive the benefit of research and signage at no personal cost. We will be applying for funding with Kenai Mountain Turnagain Arm Corridor Association as well as they were instrumental in the original cable house signage and have indicated interest in our project. a. How does the project relate to the goals and objectives of the State Historic Preservation Plan. (Cite relevant goals or objectives and how your project would further them.) 1. Increase knowledge and understanding of Alaska's heritage and historic preservation. Will be accomplished by creating a walking tour that highlights the importance of structures and sites to the formation of Seward in early 1900's. Interesting anecdotes including the fact that Seward was once considered for the state capital (as evidenced by telegraph to Seward telegraph station.) The map will take the visitor through the downtown area and the key points of interest, relating them to Alaska History. 2. Preserve Alaska's cultural resources. We believe that more sites will be preserved or brought closer to original once a light is shined on them for their historical significance. Owners will see both the cultural and economic benefit of preserving or restoring their historical buildings. HPF Grant Application for Cl-Gs 434 Rev: Dec 2020 3. Increase awareness of environmental, social, and economic benefits of historical preservation: We will increase awareness and civic support through our public information campaign, interpretive signage and maps available at all major hotels and tour attractions. We have garnered interest from several tourism entities: AK Magazine, Coast Magazine, Visit Anchorage, City of Seward, Seward Rotary, etc. The social benefit is through articles to be written in local papers, through Doug Capra, a local historian and celebrated author who has written many books. Our HP Commission is now fully staffed with an energetic team ready to promote the social and economic benefits. The City of Seward has indicated strong support for heritage tourism. We believe we can get support from many local businesses as our tour will encourage visitors to spend more time in downtown Seward and spend more money. Currently, they are dropped off at the Sealife Center and left on their own to explore. 4. Strengthen local preservation efforts: This is the logical follow up to the Historic Preservation plan that was written two years ago. This is also the first step in increasing public awareness and support of the value of Historic Tourism. We have presented a vision of a downtown overlay and HP standards to Planning and Zoning and the Seward City Council. To galvanize their support, we want to show the economic benefit of preserving Seward's historic structures. b. Describe how the project meets an identified historic preservation priority of your community. Does the project contribute to the implementation of your local historic preservation plan? If so, how? Answers below httpsa/www.cityofseward.us/home/showdocument?id=434 1) Promote economic incentives, historical preservation and education. Local and out-of-state visitors choose Seward as a destination for many reasons, particularly sightseeing and fishing. Their stay could be extended with more to visit, more to see. There is a distinct advantage in promoting our cultural heritage and corresponding sites. One only needs to read publications about early Alaska to comprehend the significance of Seward to the formation and development of our great state. From Seward.com: With numerous transportation options available, cruise guests can easily arrive in Seward a day or two before their cruise departure date or remain in Seward following the end of their cruise. Seward is serviced daily from Anchorage with scheduled motor coach service and the Alaska Railroad. Taxis, other options available. 2017 Historic Preservation Plan Chapter 7: 7.1 Opportunities -Page 33 2) To enhance understanding of economic heritage tourism as a means for not only historic preservation but also for creating economic opportunity that will encourage a continued dedication to preserving the structures, sites, vessels and artifacts that define Seward's heritage. Visitors are looking for an "experience" and a story to bring home. They wish to take pictures, mail postcards or obtain a tangible item that reflects the uniqueness of the location they choose as a travel destination. This project will serve to grow the reputation of Seward as a place of significant historical importance to Alaskan and U.S. history. Visitors may better appreciate the beauty and resources of Seward when they gain a deeper appreciation of the structures. 2017 Historic Preservation Plan: Chapter 5 Early Seward Pages 13-15 3) Promote historic preservation initiatives and projects as enumerated in the 2017 HP plan.

I am writing this letter on behalf of myself and with support from the board of directors. We are voicing our support of the CLG Grant (Certified Local Government Grant) request from the Seward Historic Preservation Commission. The goals of the grant are to identify 25 buildings and places of historic value to Seward, to research the history of those buildings and places, to install informative signs at the site of these buildings and properties, and to develop a brochurelwalking tour to be distributed at various sites in Seward.

The initial effort is to obtain a grant to install property signage and to update and develop a walking map of the historic district. Specific goals of the grant request is to identify 25 buildings and places of historic value in Seward and install signs/plaques on these properties to educate visitors on the history of each location. An example of the proposed concept is the sign currently displayed in front of The Cable House, at 219 6th Ave. The plan for the walking tour is to collaborate with the bus companies to have them drop visitors off at Sweet Darlin's, or locations where they will receive a walking map of the downtown historic district. The informative signage and walking brochure are valuable efforts towards developing the historic significance of local assets and directing visitors as well as locals to them. The City of Seward certainly appreciates having the ability to endorse this effort, it has our full support and backing. Sincerely, G� Scott W.
