With more than 1,000 historic landmarks Pasadena has much to celebrate during National Historic Preservation Month in May.

The public is invited to a free event Thursday, May 15, at 7 p.m. in the courtyard at Pasadena City Hall where selected property owners will earn Pasadena Historic Preservation Awards for their efforts to restore some of this community’s architectural treasures.

The ceremony is sponsored by the Historic Preservation Commission, a group whose mission is to protect and recognize the important Pasadena landmark properties that link us to the past.

To date, the commission has helped draw attention to more than 1,000 Pasadena properties that are now listed on the National Register for Historic Places, more than 50 fine examples by architects Greene & Greene, 80 landmarks and 16 landmark districts. 

"In the process, historic preservation has become one of Pasadena ’s proudest achievements," said Commission Chair Renee Morgan-Hampton.
