The Columbus Landmarks Foundation is holding their 2008 Annual Design and Preservation Awards Reception and Program on November 6, and you are cordially invited to attend.

Landmarks is the leading voice for historic preservation and quality urban design in Columbus, and as such believes that outstanding commitment to those principles deserves public recognition.  This year’s awards event will take place in the Broad Street Presbyterian Church, home to some 28 newly-restored panels of stained glass created by Tiffany Studios.  The program will feature a talk on “Building Communities Through Preservation” given by Cleveland Restoration Society Executive Director Kathleen Crowther.

As in year past, these awards will include the coveted James B. Recchie Design Award.  This year’s project finalists include the Columbus FireFighters Hall (former T&OC Depot on East Broad Street), Broad Street United Methodist Church, the LEED House, Seneca Apartments and various buildings renovated by Community Properties.

Its a great opportunity to meet and greet other Central Ohioans interested in preservation and design, and to support the important work of Landmarks.  For information about the reception and program, click here.  To view the five Recchie Award finalists, click here.
