markers, spring and fall medi- an plantings, holiday wreath hanging, the replacement tree program, as well as other annual neighborhood events.<br><br> Public opening of Central Gardens 9 homes began in the late 1970 9s and has grown annually to attract over 2,000 visitors to midtown Memphis for the tour each September . Over the years a wide variety of homes have been showcased within Central Gardens 9 borders. The tour provides local residents a perfect opportunity to share their Central Gardens 9 lifestyle and promote midtown living within an urban historical district.<br><br> Homes featured this year encom- pass both new and historical homes either on or within walking distance of Central Avenue. The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is also located on Central Avenue and has! once again graciously opened its doors for tours.<br><br> 1695 Central Avenue The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception 3 1927-1938, Richard J. Regan and John T. Weller were promi- nent architects, much in demand when it came to designing Catholic structures during the 1920 9s through the 40 9s.<br><br> Some consider the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception to be their best work, with its play of varied stone textures and classical orders. The high school was added in the early 50 9s, a product of architects A.L.Aydelott and Associates. In 2002, a stunning full renovation of the cathedral was completed.<br><br> 1656 Central Avenue In 1905 Jones and Furbringer were the architects of this home built for Captain Guston Thomas Fitzhugh, a prominent Memphis attorney and an officer in the Spanish-American War. Jones and Furbringer integrated the Georgian Revival style with seventeenth century French. This style is seen in the lofty mansard roof and giant order of pilasters applied around the walls.<br><br> The interior floor plan of the Fitzhugh home reflects the open, spa- cious arrangement popular in Georgian revival homes around the turn of the centu- ry. The eleven foot ceilings, large recep- tion hall, the main staircase, the stain glass windows on the landing, the music room, kitchen, breakfast room, sunroom, fireplaces, and English gardens are only a few magnificent features that this home has to offer. The Fitzhugh home has been featured in magazines throughout the years and is one of the homes featured today in the book Memphis: An Architectural Guide.<br><br> 1649 Central Avenue In 1905, Jones and Furbringer were also the architects of this home originally built as the Rhea P. Cary House. This Colonial Revival is nicely sited to dominate the end of Rozelle Street which intersects with Central Avenue.<br><br> Through the years the Cary home became the 29th ANNUAL HOME AND GARDEN TOUR Sunday, September 11th, 2005 Central Gardens Newsletter Summer 2005 cont. page 2 Central Gardens NewsletterSummer 2005 location for the Lausanne School from 1926 -1953, the recre- ation center for Idlewild Presbyterian Church and the fra- ternity for the Southern School of Optometry. In most recent years a number of additions and renovations have taken place on the Cary residence: a three car garage was added in 1997, a garden pergola in 2002, a storage conser- vatory with green house in 2004, and a three tiered deck in 2005.<br><br> The home currently consist of three wonderful floors. The main first floor features a large reception hall, a grand front staircase, a formal living room with fireplace, dining room, breakfast room, and keeping room also with a fire- place. The second floor includes a master bedroom with fireplace and bath, a guest bedroom with a fireplace, an office, a laundry facility, and a full bath.<br><br> The third floor has 9 foot vaulted ceilings with skylights providing a playroom, a bedroom suite with an adjoining full bath, two walk-in cedar closets, a workout room, and an office area. The outside of the house is quite unique with it 9s meticu- lously landscaped gardens, courtyard, secret garden, cut- ting garden, and walking pergola. 643 Anderson Street In 1912, Adolph Laurence was a partner in the home-build- ing firm of Laurence and McKellar.<br><br> The archi- tect of this home is unknown. But in 1921 former Memphis architect Neander Woods Jr. pub- lished a magazine article on Southern Colonial house types with illustrations of facades and floor plans very similar to the Laurence house.<br><br> The Laurence house has an entrance portico of monumental scale with two story Ionic columns. Massive quoins on the exterior corners balance the heft of the front porch. Exaggerated keystone lintels crown the ground floor win- dows and a fully balustraded platform porch encircles the front facade.<br><br> A photo from 1912 shows a similar balustrade atop the entry porch that has been lost. Within the past three years, the current owners have lev- eled the floors, patched the plaster and simplified the interi- or paint scheme. Their elegant collection of classic 19th century European furniture is so at home in the house that it is hard to imagine the rooms any other way.<br><br> This home has so many wonderful features downstairs and upstairs: Downstairs - entry hall, living room, dinning room, music room, breakfast room, and kitchen. The kitchen has been renovated adding a generous pantry that any home owner would appreciate. Upstairs - are four corner bedrooms and a private sitting room at the front of the second floor hall.<br><br> The beautiful master bath contains marble floors, vanity top, wainscot and tub surround. 600 South McLean In 1892, James Walker Hays, a socially prominent Commercial Appeal Newspaper executive and community leader built this home in the Queen Anne Revival style. It is the oldest home on the tour.<br><br> The architect is unknown. The original track of land where the home resides today was five acres. The back cottage was built in the 1920 9s as ser- vant quarters.<br><br> In 1948, a wrap around front porch was removed from the original structure of the home and a bal- cony with wrought iron was added. The porches are also surrounded with ornate iron work which was poplar with homes of southern river towns. There are small English gardens on the north side of the house displaying beautiful roses, and on the south side of the house is a wooded area with large magnolias.<br><br> The home going on its one hundred thirteenth birthday is absolutely incredible consisting of eleven rooms, two and half baths, four fireplaces, twelve foot ceilings and hard- wood floors throughout. Some of the original furnishings are still in the home, a grandfather clock and two mirrors which date back to 1884 as well as old photographs which are on display in the house. 604 South Belvedere Boulevard Located at 1604 South Belvedere, still one of the grandest residential streets in Memphis, stands the Benjamin Harvey house built in 1923.<br><br> Designed by the innova- 2 cont. page 3 Central Gardens NewsletterSummer 2005 3 tive architectural team of George Mahan and James Broadwell, this house combines the styles of both European and American Revival styles with its severely symmetrical Colonial Revival style based on the Adam or Federal styles. Note here the arch-headed windows in the dormers, the rhythm of the modillions under the roof overhang, and the impressively paneled front door with its restrained Doric columned surround.<br><br> Not to be missed is the spacious columned portico for outdoor living on the south side where the property abuts Harbert Avenue. Inside, the large reception hall connects the banquet-scaled dining room on the north to the spacious living room on the south. There are matching fireplaces at the extreme ends, each with limestone surrounds and with carved garlands or swags delica!<br><br> tely applied on the breast of the mantels. The staircase at the rear of the entry hall rises the full three sto- ries; and although the upper floors are not on the tour, don't miss the opportunity to admire the grandeur of this element from below. Be sure to tour the large side yard with its striking brick work, including the surrounding walls and raised beds enclosing a patio and a gazebo.<br><br> Plantings of azaleas, dogwoods, and the classic white crepe myrtle add seasonal interest under the surrounding canopy of shade trees around this property. 1741 Glenwood Place 1913 3 built by James Moss, a salesman for real estate and investments. This home started out as a Four Square with Colonial Revival detailing.<br><br> Four Squares were so named because there were four main rooms up and down, one in each corner. The original full width front porch was removed some- time in the late 1970 9s and exterior sheath- ing of cedar shakes above brick was installed along with a generous two story rear addition. This addition doubled the size of the kitchen, added a spacious den downstairs, a mag- nificent master suite upstairs, and a large fireplace for both the den and master suite.<br><br> The rear of the den has floor to ceiling windows and doors providing a view of the terrace, beds of flowering perennials, and a walkway to the pool. Downstairs there is an entry with staircase, the kitchen, the living, dining room, bath and den. The downstairs bath has been updated with stone countertops, a stunning alabaster bowl and custom millwork.<br><br> The interior has classic midtown trim at doors and windows and narrow quarter-sawn oak floors. Upstairs contains the master suite, two bedrooms, each with a dedicated bath and a finished attic, which offers multiple options from playroom to home office.

Once again the Boy Scouts Troop 34 (Alex Goodwin, John Hooser, Dustin Bolden, Oliver Cobb) led the parade and were followed by hundreds of parade participants who filled Carr Avenue from Willett to Rozelle. The creativity and individuality expressed in each costume was amazing; everyone looked fabulous.<br><br> There were approximately 120 people who regis- tered for the costume judging. This year we were so fortunate to have many free treats to enjoy; flavored snow cones, hotdogs, watermelon and popcorn. Each year we increase the amount we have and each year we run out!<br><br> Also the children really enjoyed all the cooling water sprinklers in the residents 9 yards. Mike Sync did another terrific job as emcee this year. Judge Karen Williams, accompanied by John Boatner, delighted all in singing the national anthem and other patriotic songs.<br><br> Judge Williams further delighted the crowds with additi onal patriotic songs. As always, the children enjoyed the firemen and the big red truck! It was hot as it always is, but the day wa s a huge success.<br><br> It is wonderful how this neighborhood comes together, enduring the sweltering heat, to express our patriotism. Thanks, most of all, to all of you who attended, for making this one of our most loved and cherished neighborhood events.

Use these tips to beat summer 9s heat!<br><br> With the outdoor temperatures getting higher, everyone is looking for ways to keep home cooling costs low. Here are a few easy ways to stay cool and save. Have a professional, reputable contractor clean and inspect your air conditioner.<br><br> This should be done every year, whether you have window or central units. Check your air conditioner 9s filter every time you receive your utility bill. Look for a dust build-up that can restrict the airflow and place stress on the system.<br><br> This added stress places wear and tear on the unit, and increases operation costs. Set the thermostat at 78 degrees or higher for the most energy efficient operation. Each degree below this setting adds 6% to your cooling costs.<br><br> Use fans to move the air inside your home. This gives the sen- sation that it is 5 degrees cooler than the actual temperature. Shade windows on the sunny side of your home.<br><br> Keep drapes closed or add room-darkening shades to block out the heat from the sun. Because it needs to breathe, keep the outside portion of your central air conditioner clear from dried mud, debris, and grass clippings. Ask the contractor for instructions on how to do it yourself.<br><br> Check it periodically, especially after an intense rain. Mud can splatter onto the unit and dry, thus blocking the air. Use a programmable thermostat to routinely raise the inside temperature while you are at work or routinely away from home for 4 hours or longer.<br><br> Pre-set the thermostat to adjust back to your normal comfort range 1/2 hour before getting home. Use your programmable thermostat to automatically increase the temperature setting at bedtime. Sleep under lightweight bedding and use fans during sleep..<br><br> Do not place lamps or televisions near your thermostat. The thermostat senses the heat produced and causes the air condi- tioner to run longer than necessary. Plant trees or shrubs to shade air-conditioning units but not to block the airflow.<br><br> A unit operating in the shade uses as much as 10 % less electricity than the same one operating in the sun. Turn off the heater on your dishwasher and let the dishes air dry. Also, run your dishwasher and clothes washer during off peak hours or after the sun goes down.<br><br> Do not set your thermostat at a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner. It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling and, therefore, unnecessary expense.

One parade had balloons and flags; another had a big, solitary float. If you wat ched the move down Peabody Avenue this April, you will remember the event fondly.<br><br> For those of you that missed the spectacle of watc h- ing the large stone house that was at the corner of Peabody and Lemaster move to Peabody and Rembert, you missed quite a show. Many of you have wondered what is going to happen on the now empty lot across Lemaster from Grace-St. Luke's.<br><br> Let us first take the opportunity to thank the church, as well as several dedicated neighbors, for creating a solution that adds to the overall c harm of the neighborhood. While many people were involved please join me in thanking Neil and Sarah Prosser, Mary Linda Wardlaw, Jim Evans, and especially Ben Duke. What happens next?<br><br> Grace-St. Luke 9s has completed a discernment phase and identified future needs for the church and school pro - gramming as well as possible community needs and desires. In September the parishioners and leadership will review a feasibilit y study that is currently underway.<br><br> From there the church community will determine final scope and timing for different portions of the undertaking.
