Dear Mr. Murphy:
As promised, I am sending along some information about
the National Trust's programs for the donation of
historic houses.
As you and I briefly discussed, the Trust has found
that in many cases the best way to preserve a property
is for it to remain in private ownership and be loved
and cared for by a family that is committed to
maintaining the property as their home. To this end we
have developed the Gifts of Heritage program.
property for use as historic house museiims. In
addition to possessing outstanding historical and/or
architectural significance, the house must be donated
with an endowment large enough to defray the
significant ongoing costs of maintenance and
administration. Operating a house museum can cause
serious wear to the property and require consideraible
e^ense. In almost all cases, the revenues earned by
the house museum are usually not enough to cover the
costs of operation. In general, to ensure the operating
and ongoing maintenance costs are covered, we require
a donation of twenty times the annual operating costs.
To provide you and your clients with information about
the Gifts of Heritage program, I have enclosed
Sheets on the program, types of donations,
process involved with a Gift of Heritage. In
addition, I am enclosing an article that recently
appeared in Historic Preservation describing the Gifts
of Heritage program in the context of Eastman Hill
Stock Farm, a property that has been donated to the
^^^lonal Trust through the program.
I hope this provides you with enough material. If you

GIFTS OF HERITAGE
The Gifts of Heritage program has been developed to provide
owners of significant homes a means of ensuring that their homes
will be preserved for future generations while realizing
significant tax savings and, if desired, continuing to live in
their homes. In many cases the best means of preserving a home
is for it to remain in private ownership with a fcunily that will
continue to maintain the property as a home and to care for it.
The basic elements of the program are as follows:
♦ Houses of architectural or historic significance are
donated to the Trust through a variety of options, including
outright gifts, gifts retaining a life estate, charitable
remainder trusts, and bequests.
♦ Donors remain responsible for the maintenance, insurance
and property taxes on their homes until the Trust actually
takes possession.
♦ After the Trust takes possession, a comprehensive
protective plan for the house and grounds is developed. The
plan may include ecologic, archaeological and environmental
components, in addition to historic and architectural
. studies. In general, houses are protected through
preservation easements on the significant elements of the
property.
♦ The Trust finds a preservation-minded buyer for the house.
A portion of the sale proceeds are earmarked for an endowed
fund established for the specific purpose of maintaining the
easement; the remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the
Historic Properties Preservation Fund.
♦ Easements are inspected on an annual or biannual basis to
ensure proper stewardship of the property. If the house is
not properly maintained, fxinds are available for litigation.
The Gifts of Heritage program offers participants several
advantages:
^ Donors receive federal and state tax savings by taking the
appraised market value as a charitable deduction.

The mission of the National Trust for Historic Preservation is to foster an appreciation of the
diverse character and meaning of our American cultural heritage and to preserve and revitalize
the livability of our communities by leading the nation in saving America's historic environments.

< The Trust takes full responsibility for disposition of the
property, relieving the former owners of the logistical
hassles of maintenance and sale of the property.
< The protective plan and maintenance endowment ensure the
preservation of the property.
< with the donation of the property to the Trust, the donor
supports the preservation of America's rich cultural
heritage.
To show you how the program works, here is how the historic Todd
house in Charles Town, West Virginia, became a "living legacy”
through the Gifts of Heritage Program:
In 1976 Mrs. Augustine Todd donated her Queen Anne-style home to
the National Trust, retaining for herself the right to occupy the
house for the remainder of her life. When the National Trust
took possession of the property in 1987, architects and
preservation professionals carefully evaluated the house and
groxinds. We developed a plan to ensure the preservation of the
property's unique interior details as well as its distinguished
exterior and surrounding landscape. Once the long-term
protection strategy was in place, the Trust found a responsible
buyer for this West Virginia landmark. Proceeds from the sale of
this house, like all Gifts of Heritage proceeds, were used for
the perpetual protection of the property and the balance was
placed in the National Trust's Historic Properties Preservation
Fund.
Other properties that are included in the Gifts of Heritage
program are Bachelor's Hope, a 1759 brick manor house and farm in
St. Mary's County, MD; the Schlegel House, a Victorian residence
in Chillicothe, OH; the shingle-style McCulloch House in Los
Angeles; and Eastman Hill, a 500 acre farm and summer retreat in
Center Lovell, ME.

National Trust for Historic Preservation

An Outline of
Charitable Real Estate Donation Options
The donation of real estate using any number of gift giving
vehicles to qualified charitable organizations such as the
National Trust provides income tax benefits and may provide
sources of income as well. For example, the outright gift of
real estate to a public charity entitles the donor to a
charitable contribution deduction for the full value of the
property if the property is long term capital gain property. No
capital gains tax is paid on the property’s appreciation. Short
term capital gain property (property held less than twelve
months) or property on which excess depreciation deductions have
been taken will be limited to the donor’s adjusted basis in the
•
Iri addition, an individual’s donation deductions may
not exceed thirty percent of his adjusted gross income in any one
tax year. Any excess over the thirty percent contribution base
may be carried forward for five years. The limitations on
corporate donations of real estate are ten percent of adjusted
gross income in each tax year, with any excess over the ten
percent contribution base carried forward for five years.
Donations of fractional interests in real estate are also
deductible. A donor may convey a personal residence, a farm, or
a ranch to a charity and continue to occupy the property for life
or a term of years. In addition, certain donations made through
so-called split interest trusts are deductible. For example,
real estate may be donated through the giving vehicle known as a
charitable remainder trust. The real estate is held by a trustee
and the income derived from the real estate is payable to those
income beneficiaries designated by the donor, including himself.
In a charitable remainder trust, the donor creates a formal
trust instrument under which the assets are transferred to a
trustee, who manages the trust assets for the benefit of those
individuals designated by the donor (including himself, if he
wishes) , and upon their death or the expiration of the term of
years designated by the donor the asset balance (charitable
remainder interest) is transferred to the designated charity.
The trustee has control over the investment strategy. The
trustee may be the charitable organization, an individual other
than the donor, or a bank or trust company selected by the donor.
The donor receives a tax deduction for the value of the
charitable remainder interest in the year the trust is
established. Any portion of the deduction not used in that year
may be carried over for up to five more years as outlined above.

Washington, D.C. 20036
(202) 673-4000

In addition to the tax deduction, as with the outright donation
of property to a charity, there is no capital gains tax on the
appreciation in the property value from the time the property was
acquired by the donor.
The value of the donor’s tax deduction or remainder interest
is determined from standard U.S. ..Treasury tables. These fix the
remainder depending upon the_age of each income beneficiary, the
percentage to be paid, the value of the assets placed in the
trust, the length of time which elapses before the first payment
and the frequency.of payments.
An example of the tax and net return consequences of the
donation of real estate by an individual is attached. For

Gifts of Heritage Program

A General Outline of the Process
The National Trust has established a Gifts of Heritage program to offer owners of
significant homes a means of ensuring that their property will be preserved for future
generations. In the National Trusts experience, we have found that in maity cases the
best means of preserving a home is for it to remain in private ownership with a family
that will continue to maintain and care for the property as a home. On rare occasions a
property donated as a Gift of Heritage may be retained by the National Trust as a
museum property.
This information sheet outlines the steps in the National Trust’s process of preserving a
Gift of Heritage. Of course, each Gift of Heritage is a unique situation and the process
is tailored to each property.
1* Mode of Donation: The first step in the process, once the decision has been
made to donate a property to the National Trust for Historic Preservation through
the Gifts of Heritage program, is to determine the type of donation which best fit
the financial and personal needs of the donors. In most cases, a donor will
determine whether to make an outright donation, a partial interest donation, a
donation retaining life use or a testamentary donation. Other donation options
may also be explored with the National Trust
\

While we can discuss with the donor the general finaniaal implications of donation
alternatives, we urge donors to discuss their specific case with their legal or
financial advisor.
2t Preservation Documentation: Once a property has been accepted by the
National Trust under its Gifts of Heritage program, the Trust keeps in touch with
the donors on a regular basis. We meet with the donors to discuss and document
general wishes and concerns relating to the future of the property and its contents.
Trust architects and curators are available to discuss aity additional issues or
questions donors may have about the preservation of the house and conservation
of the collection.
We also document as much of the history of the house as possible. We review
aity documentation that is available and, if the donors are willing and interested,
we work together on developing an oral or written history of the house.
The mission of the National Trust for Historic Preservation is to foster an appreciation of the
diverse character and meaning of our American cultural heritage and to preserve and revitahze
the livability of our communities by leading the nation in saving America’s historic environments.

^ National Trust Possession: At the time the Trust takes possession of the
property, we develop a preservation plan. Our usual procedure is to engage on a
competitive basis a preservation architect who coordinates a team of preservation
specialists including historians. The preservation plan is tailored to the individual
characteristics of the property. As appropriate, it will include documentation of
the architectural, historic, archaeological and environmental components of the
property, and any structural stabilization efforts that may be necessary. In
addition, the team recommends the elements of the protection plan.
The protection plan usually is implemented through the use of a recorded
preservation easement deed, which at a minimum contains protective covenants
and may include a scheduled maintenance plan as well. All future owners of the
property will be bound by the terms and restrictions of the easement and
maintenance plan. The easement also may require that the house be open to the
public for one or two days a year and that it be available to scholars for research
purposes.
4^ Ongoing Stewardship: Once the preservation plan has been developed, we
search for a preservation-minded buyer who understands the easement and is
enthusiastic about abiding by its terms and restrictions. We carefully interview
potential buyers to ensure that they are the right owners for the property. A
portion of the sale proceeds is reserved to establish an endowment to ensure that
the easement is maintained in perpetuity. To assure that the property is
maintained as required under the easement. National Trust staff frequently visit
each Gifts of Heritage property, generally annually or bi-annually. In addition,
staff are alw^ available for consultation on maintenance and preservation issues.
At present, the National Trust has 73 properties under easement
^ Use of Proceeds of Sale and Recognition of Donors: The balance of funds
remaining after the easement endowment and preservation and closing costs
generally is deposited in a named fund within the National Trust’s Historic
Properties Preservation Fund. The Fund provides matching grants to our
collection of museum properties for capital projects. Specific Tequests by donors
to use the proceeds for other preservation projects will be considered. The
donors’ generosity is acknowledged on a permanent plaque that is placed on the
property and in the Trust’s annual report

I've had two galleries this past fall sell some of
my work at high prices. One of my paintings sold for $5,200.00
and another sold for $4,950.00. After they took their commissions
for selling them, it still made a happy trip to the bank
for me. You better believe I have it ALL saved. I'm not
buying all the extras people have to have. How many people
would have gone out and spent it all on themselves, even
though they're not worth it? 1997 looks to be a very profitable
year. My publisher is doing great, paying well, and I signed
a new 3 year contract extension with them back on July 1st,
1996. One of the agreements was they raise all my prices,
and it has worked well. They want to see me do well and
people love the quality of my work. I put a lot of time
and detail into my work and people like to see this kind
of workmanship and dedication. I'm one of the few out there
that really knows how to work hard at it and it DOES pay
off -long term. I believe in quality!
‘
We have several projects scheduled for this year already
and things will continue to grow for all of us. This would
have never been possible if I didn't go to Edinboro and
meet the right kind of people and make the right kind of
friends and take the right kind of trips to the right places.
See how all this has fallen into place?
I still do some substitute teaching, December was quite
a busy month for teachers to be out sick. It helps pay the
bills. Other times I help my mother babysit the kids. It's
my job to keep the house warm for the kids by keeping the
fireplace going. I can already see our stash of firewood
in the garage being depleted by late March because willow
burns very fast. I also still like to go up and visit Aunt
Jeanne in Fredonia. She will usually prepare a dinner just
for me and we like to share a bottle of wine with it. Her^
last two dinners were perch. She will soon be gone an entire
month as she travels with friends to Arizona and Hawaii
for the entire month of February.
I have also joined a big art gallery in Mentor, Ohio.
For the third consecutive year, I will participate in a^
major exhibition featuring some of the world's best artists.
I don't command all the high prices they do, but I'm moving
up fast and my quality often surpasses many of the others.
Last year I won the top award proving so. It's a major honor
to win Gallery One's highest honor, "The Master Palate"
award for buyer's choice. As you can see, I'm on my way I
I will be back soon, as soon as spring comes, I promise!
Sincerely, David

Dear Carrie,
I sure did enjoy my visit with you once again. I think
of you two often when I paint and get some quiet time to
myself.
I just finished feeding the birds and loading up the
birdfeeders. This is the first time ever that I have seen
a Cedar Waxwing in our bush. It's nice to see a woodpecker
on the suet cake too, just like Grandma Pagett used to feed
the birds. I watched them every year on Christmas Day when
she was alive.
The cold winter winds have now made their home in our
area. We get quite a bit of lake effect snow every so often.
I think of spring as being right around the corner and it
can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned. I just love
a spring thaw, it has so many memories for me. I'm constantly
reminded about how there is a correlation between the longer
the winter, the more exciting the return of spring becomes.
My favorite hobby now is metal detecting and I have a sophisticated
machine that reads the ground. It can identify an object
without touching the ground, namely coins. This hobby is
one that gives me hours of pleasure and makes me long for
the return of spring. I have quite a few special coins I
have found over the year, since I've had it for roughly
a year now. I look forward to the opportunity to search
your yard f'and see what their is to be found, if anything.
Most of the time I do come up with something to surprise
me. I will definitely be back in the spring. I'm also interested
in all the antiques there are to discover and look at. This
is my newest and most growing ambition. I have started my
own collection of favorite antiques. I have already done
some paintings which include antiques and florals as my
subject matter for my publisher and these have all sold
for me. Painting bouquets of wildflowers in old crocks,
sometimes with berries spilled around, has been a real good
seller. I'm experimenting with other compositions and antiques.
Did you know that I spent the last week of November, including
Thanksgiving, in Aruba? It's an island off the coast of
South America. I loved the warm, sunny days, and the breezes
from the trade winds. I want to go back to Florida for spring
break with Joyce like I sometimes do, but I'm sure that
is not long enough to get out of tying grapes for Uncle
Dick on the farm. He wants me out there just like always.
If I slack, then someone else in the family will have to
make up for it. He doesn't hire the outside help anymore
(the Puerto Ricans)*, he wants the vineyards in the family
and he wants it done right. This has been his policy ever
since he scaled back the farm to a more manageable family
size by selling off some of the land to Wal-Mart.
My art business has been booming and 1996 was my best
year ever. After all expenses, I was still able to squirrel
away almost $14,000.00 for my future. That's over one thousand
a month I save. Times will be tough and I want to be ready.
It's not too early to save. I have 50 years ahead of me
yet, (at least) and I don't want to end up like today's
poor people in shelters, hungry. You taught me well!

-

Received your nice letter of January
23, 1950 and had good intentions of replying much
sooner than this.
The first six months of the year
are my busy ones, and I put your letter aside until
I
could find time to do some research on our family
tree.
Through my relatives and their records I have
been able to assemble a general outline of our family
tree which I am enclosing»in the form of a diagram
with explanations.
The Johnny Goodell from Buffalo
whom you mentioned in your letter is no doubt my
grandfather.
He died in 1923.
One of his brothers
was named Leighton M. Goodell.
It is interesting
to note that one of your relatives had a name which
is pronounced the same but spelled differently
(Layton).
In as much as both of us have
ancestors who came from the northeastern New York
State region, I believe we are no doubt distantly
related.
Jf you should be in or about the Jamestown
talking with you about our family trees.
