Preservation Awards

Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Awards 

 

2012 Awards
Ceremony Highlights

 

Saturday, October 27
Cocktails and Hors d’oeuvres
Awards Ceremony
 

This year’s nine award winners range from an advocacy group formed to save the World’s Largest Catsup Bottle to a train depot in far southern Illinois to a one hundred year old office building along Chicago’s Michigan Avenue. These winners are a testament to the variety of architecture across the state and the people working to preserve it.

 

Landmarks Illinois has been assisted by a generous grant from the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation to honor individuals and organizations whose works demonstrate a commitment to historic preservation. By honoring these individuals, organizations, projects and programs, Landmarks Illinois and the Driehaus Foundation hope to inspire others to take action to preserve, protect and promote historic resources.
