partnerships with other interested parties including the Harrisburg-West End Neighborhood Association and the Augusta Downtown
Development Authority.
The committee is chaired by Bryan Haltermann and composed of Tennent Houston, Historic
Augusta President, Anne Catherine Murray, Chairman of Historic Augusta's Historic Properties Committee, Iain Crawford,
President of the Harrisburg- West End Neighborhood Association, Margaret Woodard, Executive Director of the Augusta Downtown
Development Authority, Historic Properties Committee members Roger Duke and Paul King, and Historic Augusta staff members
Erick Montgomery and Julia Jackson. |

presented for a house at 1922 Telfair Street. The home, originally two 19th Century shotgun houses connected under one roof,
was renovated within the past year. |
