SLID DOWN A HILL AND SURVIVED IN ONE PIECE Week Oct 24 F , - Slid Down a Hill and Survived in One Piece. fG{ The Swetmann house is an architectural jewel for Seward. It was built in 1916 by locally renowned craftsman m m Gerhard "Stucco" Johnson as his residence. Gerhard was famous for his beautiful and long-lasting exterior stucco r work during the early 1920s and 1930s. This house also slid down the hill, went sideways, and survived in one piece! That speaks to a well-built home. Swetmann House Week October 31 Elwyn Swetmann arrived in Seward in 1919 and worked at — the Seward Drug Company as a pharmacist. In 1921 he - purchased the business and operated it through the 1940s. Around 1921, Elwyn wanted to buy this beautiful house from Johnson under the condition that it be moved from its steep location on Dairy Hill to Swetmann' s property. Johnson agreed and contracted with the Alaska Transfer Company to move it. According to local writer John Paulsteiner, the Alaska Transfer Company anchored a deadman in the hill and used it to help slide the house down the steep hill. When almost to the bottom, it turned sideways. They straightened the house and brought it to Swetmann' s lot by horses and skids, where it stands today. The fact that the house survived in one piece during the moving adventure enhanced Stucco Johnson's reputation as a superb craftsman and builder. Photo available from the Resurrection Bay Historical Society. F.G. Hale Collection, 511.1.1. NOVEMBER Week November 7 Elwyn married Viola Triplett, who came to Seward to ` teach school. Elwyn was one of the founders of the enKKBL cX National Bank of Alaska and the First National Bank of Alaska. Elwyn also had a controlling interest in the Bank of Seward. When Elwyn died in 1951, Viola succeeded him as president of the National Bank of Alaska's Seward LL branch.

Bank of Seward, circa 1940. ysrsys+rdrr�, w.0 Week November 14 The Swetmanns were active in civic affairs, particularly the community library where Viola was board president for many years. The couple ensured the library had a place in the community by giving it a home in the Bank of Seward basement in 1938. Upon Viola's death, the family deeded this home to the Seward Community Library Association, which later sold it to a private party. The Seward Community Library Association (SCLA) awards a scholarship each year in memory of Mrs. Viola Swetmann. Photo by Mary Ann Benoit is part of the Seward Portrait of ViolaSwetmann.

The National Register of Historic Places nomination notes that the building stands out for its artistic design and integrity of its construction. This house is a testament to the craftsmanship of builder "Stucco" Johnson, and the Swetmanns who lived here and contributed so much to Seward. Photo by M. Benoit. Week November 28 Seward is located within the ancestral homelands of the indigenous Chugach Sugpiaq people (also referred to by the Russian -derived term "Alutiiq". Qutekcak (big beach) was the Native name for Seward. (if there is only room for part, you could leave out Chugach before �m -�1 I Sugpiaq). The area was colonized by Russian explorers who in 1792 built a fort and shipyard at Resurrection Bay. The Russians abandoned the fort in the 1840s as the fur ---•---• -�-' trade declined. DECEMBER Week December 5 Between 1883-1884, Franklin G. (Frank) Lowell and his wife Mary Forgal Lowell settled in the Seward area. Mary, born of an Alaska Native mother and Russian father, was raised in English Bay. Frank, who came from Maine, was a fur trader and entrepreneur. Frank and Mary established a trade station in Resurrection Bay, but by 1892 the fur trade had declined and Frank left to lead a different station on the Alaska Peninsula.

Seward churches, j businesses, and the local paper participated in a i "circulating library." This community library effort was formalized and incorporated in 1930 as the Seward Community Library Association (SCLA), which was run by M volunteers. As the library grew, it moved in 1938 and 1962. Through great community support, the library Leehner F,ante, originally f?uln in 11915 found a home in 1962 in a former grocery store on the Site of the new Seward Community Library corner of Adams and Fifth Avenue.

ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Jessica Stallard, CMC Deputy City Clerk (City Seal) Cheryl Seese Chair 24 Memorandum Date: September 9, 2021 To: Historic Preservation Commission From: Brenda Ballou, City Clerk RE: Election of Chair & Vice Chair I would like to extend my apologies for not presenting the election of the Chair and Vice Chair to the commission in a timelier manner. The terms of office for HP appointments "expire" on May 31s' every year, and that should prompt the election process to happen in June. The appointment of Chair and Vice Chair is a one-year term; today's election will be in effect until the next election in June, 2022 (for the next 10 months). The Chair presides at the meetings and work sessions, and in the absence of the Chair, the Vice Chair fills in as presiding officer. Below are guidelines you may wish to follow for the election of the Chair and Vice Chair positions. VOTING & APPOINTING PROCEDURE 1. The Presiding Officer opens the floor for nominations of Chair. 2. Any commissioner, including the Presiding Officer, may nominate one or more commissioner for the position. 3. If only one nomination is received, a motion is made to close the nominations and cast a unanimous ballot for the chosen person. That motion will need a second and can be approved by unanimous consent (no roll call is necessary). 4. If more than one nomination is received, paper ballots will be distributed for each commissioner to sign and vote for a nominee, or else the commission may conduct a voice vote. It takes four affirmative votes to be appointed. Once the Chair is elected, the same procedure is repeated for the Vice Chair.

The Seward Register of Historic Places was established by City Council Ordinance No. 95-10 in order to provide for public recognition of local cultural resources worthy of preservation. The hope was that identifying and recognizing properties that were important in Seward's history would help change the way the community perceives its historic resources, and encourage private citizens and public officials to preserve these resources. In addition, the research and documentation that result from completing the local register application provides a valuable historic resource. Since there is nothing regulatory about being listed on the Seward Register of Historic Places, placement on the local register does not place any restrictions or limitations on a property. The purpose of this guide is to assist individuals in completing the Seward Register of Historic Places application form. It is not necessary for the applicant to be the property owner. Anyone can prepare and submit an application to nominate an eligible property for the local register. The attached pamphlet: Where to Find Information on Historic Property in Seward, Alaska will assist in the research portion of the application. An example of a completed application is also attached for reference. Seward Register of Historic Places Application L Eligibility Criteria A. Has the property attained National Register Status?

It originally was the site ofthe Mary Lowell homestead. Frank Ballaine had a house built for her here. Later the house was the home of Lydia and Al Peel and known as the Peel House. He was a manager ofthe Alaska Transfer Company, located where the parking lot is now. His wife was associated with Seward's notorious red-light district known as The Line, where the line of cottonwoods now stands. Behind the cottonwoods there once were 21 little houses owned and operated by local businesswomen. The Line closed down in the mid-1950s. #319 • Wayne Blue House, 1920 WAlh Wayne Blue purchased this lot in 1916 and the house as built around 1920.

Leon had the only radio receiver strong enough to get the national news and would write up bulletins and post them on the window of his house to keep Seward up to date. The Urbach home was the meeting place for statesmen and Leon was one of Alaska's unofficial leaders. When Leon retired, his son, Larry, and his wife Dorothy, took over running Urbach's.

It was one ofthe favorite dancing and grand ball locations in Seward through the 1940s, and served as a community center for many years. Woodlawn Cemetery Salmon Creek Road and Moat Way, 1916 In the early days, the dead were buried in numerous places around Seward as there was no official cemetery. In 1916, the city purchased this land for the Woodlawn Cemetery. For $30 each, remains were dug up, transported, and reburied here.
