[MassHistPres] Preservation/restoration awards programs?

[Alison Hardy]

The Newburyport Preservation Trust presents annual awards https://nbptpreservationtrust.org/preservation-award-nomination/

At this year's presentation on Sunday, awardees were asked to talk about their projects and the audience loved hearing from the project owners and it really created a sense of community pride.

Subject: [MassHistPres] Preservation/restoration awards programs?


Hello all,
We at the Dartmouth historical commission have observed other towns that have successfully built awards/recognition programs centered on successful preservation and restoration in their towns.

We’re looking for ideas and best practices on this from other town historians. We’re thinking an annual award, either given to builders, architects, or homeowners (or all 3, as they are a team) behind projects that either

1) expand their homes/civic buildings in ways that embrace the original architecture and details,

2) or renew, in a way that throws off prior renovations that have been poorly done, in favor of a reset on the original architectural style of the structure.

We’d appreciate hearing from towns that have such programs up and running, and learn more about what makes them successful or not.

Thank you! 🙏
