Landmarks Board Chairperson Steve Martin announced in order to recognize the outstanding
contributions that individuals have made to the preservation of our City’s historic resources, the
Landmarks Board has initiated what will be an annual preservation awards program, with awards
presented each May during National Preservation Month. Since this is the program’s inaugural
year, the Landmarks Board is awarding projects completed in 2015, as well as a few other
projects from the recent past that are worthy of praise. Nominations were accepted from the
public as well as from our own Landmarks Preservation Board. Our Landmarks Board Awards
Committee made the final decisions on the award winning projects. Going forward, nomination
forms can be found online on the City’s website or through the Community Development
Department. The Landmarks Board encourages everyone to nominate a property or a person that
has contributed to the preservation of our City’s past through renovation and restoration.
The five (5) project categories that are eligible for Preservation Awards include: Residential,
Commercial, Publicly-Owned, Sensitive New In-fill and Personal Achievement.
The award-winning projects were selected based on the following: the historical and
architectural significance of the property preserved by the project; sensitivity to the historic
integrity of the building and its site, including streetscapes; preservation or replication of historic
