Nominations for the Preservation Awards Due

The Chestnut Hill Conservancy’s Preservation Recognition Awards honor outstanding projects within the Chestnut Hill National Register Historic District (virtually all of Chestnut Hill). Each award recognizes a project that is a striking gift to Chestnut Hill today – and far into the future — and an inspiration for others as they care for their own buildings. These awards help to express our gratitude to those who cherish our historic and architectural resources.

The Chestnut Hill Conservancy’s Preservation Recognition Awards will honor projects in the following categories:

  • Preserving / protecting historic resources (in the built or natural environment),
  • Historic building restoration, rehabilitation or adaptive reuse, or
  • Good stewardship of an important building.
