Preservation Awards
This year, for the first time, the
Cleveland Restoration Society will be joining with
AIA Cleveland to host
the 2008 Celebration of Preservation in May. Both
organizations share a common goal of celebrating significant
endeavors in conservation, renovation and adaptive use of
historic properties through the annual Preservation Awards
Program. |

Awards will be
presented to individuals, organizations and projects that have made
a significant, positive impact in our community.
By recognizing
the most brilliant examples of preservation in action in our
communities, we invigorate our own efforts to save Northeastern
Ohio’s
architectural heritage and hopefully encourage others to do the
same. Awards are announced at our Celebration of Preservation.

The award recipients will be carefully selected by a Committee
representing both CRS and AIA Cleveland, whose members have specific expertise in construction, design and advocacy.
In 2007, CRS
recognized 11 projects, organizations, and individuals that
have made a difference in Northeast Ohio’s quality of
life. 2007 Preservation Awards |
