Gardner-Pingree House (1804-1805, architect Samuel McIntire (1757-1811))
This Federal-period home was designed by Samuel McIntire (1757-1811) for John Gardner (1771-1847), who made his fortune in maritime trade (particularly pepper trade) with the opening of new markets after the close of the Revolutionary War. Like many maritime traders, however, Gardner’s fortunes declined when Jefferson’s passed the Embargo Act in 1809. Gardner faced additional losses to pirates, particularly on the eve of the War of 1812, which ruined many merchants, including Gardner. He moved from Salem to his family farm in Danvers, where he remained until his death in 1847. Salem’s trade never recovered.
Born in Salem, MA, architect Samuel McIntire began his career as a woodcarver and eventually turned to building homes for the wealthy elite of Salem. McIntire was heavily influenced by Britain’s Robert Adam, who published designs that featured symmetrical façades and neoclassical ornamentation. It is during the Federal era in the U.S. that builders first consistently created domestic architecture that was fully conceived and executed when erected. Previously, it was typical to build a room or set of rooms with the expectation that the house would grow with the family’s needs and means. McIntire designed both the exterior and interior of homes, and adorned rooms with carved swags, rosettes, garlands, and sheaves of wheat. The exterior ornament on the façade is largely focused on the portico, or entry porch, which features columns, pilasters (flat columns), and a decorative fanlight over the door.

Marginalized communities are the most vulnerable during emergencies such as this. They need immediate succour for survival, because they have to live today to get back their livelihoods tomorrow.

Join the Palmetto Friends of the Library as they welcome Monica Brandies to the library for a program on Easy Gardening starting at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 26, 2013.
Her talk will begin with her first rule of gardening: Enjoyment! She states that gardening “should be relaxing and should give the gardener exercise, peace, beauty and bounty.”
Brandies is the author of eleven books, including “Florida Gardening: The Newcomer’s Survival Manual.” The book is an especially helpful guide for people who may have considered themselves to have a “green thumb,” but have discovered how different our state’s weather, soil, and even insects are from what they were accustomed to while living up north.
Everyone is welcome to attend, and seating will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
Special programs such as this are made possible by funds provided by the Palmetto Friends of the Library. The Friends are a support organization for Manatee County’s Palmetto Branch Library. Monies raised by the Friends go toward projects and services that tax dollars alone cannot provide.
The Palmetto Branch Library is located at 923 6th Street West, in Palmetto, Florida. For more information, please call the library at 941.722.3333.
