Historic Preservation Awards

Nominations are sought each year for the Historic Preservation Awards Program. Nominees also are sought for projects that address both historic preservation and sustainability issues.

Begin the Nomination Process

Eligibility

Single-family residences, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, public/institutional buildings and religious structures may be nominated in the categories of restoration, rehabilitation, adaptive use and additions/new construction. Additional awards are presented for stewardship, detail and design. Projects should have been created within the past five years, and located within the boundaries of the Village. Nominations need not be in an historic district. Interior work also may be considered in conjunction with exterior work.

Who Can Make a Nomination

Any resident, owner or tenant of eligible structures, members of local preservation and historical societies, and members of local Boards and Commissions may make nominations.

The Selection Process

The judges' decisions will be based upon the Historic Preservation Commission's Architectural Review Guidelines, which are based on the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, as well as considerations of contextual and design appropriateness
