The Cleveland Restoration Society & Preservation Resource Center of Northeastern Ohio (CRS/PRC) seeks nominations for its 2004 Preservation Awards. Each year, CRS/PRC celebrates significant endeavors in conservation, renovation and adaptive use of historic properties. Awards are presented to individuals, organizations and projects that have made a significant, positive impact in northeastern Ohio communities. Awards are announced at CRS/PRC’s annual meeting in July.

Each year’s preservation awards are carefully selected by a Committee of CRS/PRC members who have specific expertise in construction, design and advocacy. During the year, this group concentrates on the many difficult challenges surrounding threatened properties and engages in discussions on the broader advocacy issues facing our region. By recognizing the most brilliant examples of preservation in action, CRS/PRC celebrates and encourages efforts to save northeastern Ohio’s architectural heritage.

In 2003, CRS/PRC’s Preservation Awards recognized projects as diverse as the restoration of the Hale House at Hale Farm & Village in Bath, the adaptive use of the Tower Press Building for housing and workspace in Cleveland, and the restoration of a private home in Lakewood. In all, CRS/PRC recognized 14 projects, organizations and individuals that made a difference in Northeast Ohio’s quality of life.
If you know of a deserving preservation project please contact CRS/PRC at www.clevelandrestoration.org for an on-line nomination form or call (216) 426-3111. Projects must be completed to be considered for the 2004 awards. The deadline for nominations is April 1, 2004.

The Cleveland Restoration Society & Preservation Resource Center of Northeastern Ohio is the region’s largest non-profit preservation organization and is a Local Partner affiliate of the National Trust. Founded in 1972, the Society is dedicated to the preservation of Greater Cleveland’s historic resources.
