Nominations Being Accepted For Pasadena’s Ninth Annual Historic Preservation Awards

Nominations are being accepted for Pasadena’s ninth annual Historic Preservation Awards, which recognize and honor projects that exemplify the best in preservation, restoration and rehabilitation.

The awards are presented each year by the Pasadena Historic Preservation Commission, an advisory body to the Pasadena City Council, to raise awareness of preservation as a benefit to property owners, neighborhoods and the city as a whole.

Projects eligible for the awards in the categories of restoration, rehabilitation, preservation and adaptive use of a historic resource must meet the U.S. secretary of the interior’s standards and include completed exterior work. Also eligible for awards are educational programs in historic preservation, grassroots preservation efforts by individuals and group and cultural landscapes.

Preservation projects must be within Pasadena city limits and be completed by April 2, the deadline for nominations. Applications are available at www.cityofpasadena.net/historic (click on Historic Preservation Awards) or by calling (626) 744-7310.
