In the past, families were typically larger and lived in homes suited to their location and wealth. Coastal towns had taller homes built close together while inland homes were usually one or two stories. During summer, families spent much of their time working and socializing outdoors. Kitchens and hearths were the centers of activity. Bathrooms were outside and lighting came from fires or oil lamps. Women took care of the home and children in addition to working in fields. Men worked primarily in fields, quarries, or as laborers. Donkeys and mules provided transportation and helped with work. Children helped with chores and entertained themselves with homemade toys when possible. Traditional clothing was worn for special occasions. Diets focused on locally grown

Presented May 6, 2010.
The document outlines renovation plans for a house located at 403 S. John St in Goldsboro, NC. The plans were created by Cameron Carr, Kameran Leigh, and Lauren Wilverding. They wanted to open up the house and make it more functional for entertaining. Key additions included expanding the kitchen and adding a deck, as well as making the master bedroom and a bedroom with twin beds. The renovations also included adding a second bathroom. Color schemes and furniture selections were presented for different areas of the house.

Session 3.4-4.4 A Fresh Look at Historic Districts
In this two-part charrette-style workshop, historic commission members, historic district residents and others are invited to discuss and analyze a proposal for a new, less restrictive historic overlay district. The goal is to retain key elements of historic properties while accommodating factors such as eclectic architectural styles, growth and development pressures, and the needs of early 20th century neighborhoods.
1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Historic Traylor-Peacock House is a house that was built in 1895, which was during the Queen Anne Vicrorian Era. Houses built between 1850 and 1920 are considered part of Victorian architecture. In the beginning of the Victorian era, green, brown, red, and mustard were the preferred colors. It is not until the 1880's that the color white made an appearance on windows, doors, and stair baulasters. White made the homes appear much brighter. The term “Painted Ladies” refers to a house that was painted with three or more colors. The different colors are used to enhance the architectural details of a building. Upholstery fabrics and draperies in Victorian times would have been heavy,warm velvets, silk or damask which would also have come in deep, rech reds,greens,browns,mauves and purples. The furniture used in the Victorian era had many curves and was very ornate.
2. CONCEPT STATEMENT To keep the same characteristics of the houses that were built during the Victorian era we decided on three different exterior colors that we found in the Sherwin Williams Historic Victorian Collection. We kept the colors close to the natural tones, unlike the Painted Ladies homes which were very bright and vibrant. The fabrics that we chose are a combination of deep, rich colors as well as neutral browns and greens. For the furnishings, we tried to keep it very decorative but we also have a few rooms, and pieces of furniture, that we decided to keep modern. Even though our kitchen, bathrooms, and office are very modern, we incorporated Victorian accessories to bring the whole house together.
