The 2020 Preservation Achievement Awards
Wednesday, November 18th
6 p.m.
The 21st annual Preservation Achievement Awards are going virtual! While we will miss having everyone join us in person to celebrate our award winners, we felt this was the most prudent thing to do with the awards during this pandemic. So, join us from the comfort of your home to hear about all of the inspiring preservation projects and people involved in preservation!
We have some incredible projects receiving awards this year and are pleased to announce the 2020 Award recipients. Congratulations to this year’s winning projects: 710 Dumas, The Gaston, Lobello House, Green House, Marcus House, 211 N. Rosemont Avenue, Mayor Sergeant House, Bella Villa Apartments, Bowlski’s – Lakewood Theater, Eagle Ford School, Samuell Grand Regional Family Aquatics Center, Sharrock Niblo Barn, Tyler Station, the UNT Dallas College of Law – Old Municipal Building, and the new Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum Boxcar project will receive the prestigious Gail Thoma Patterson Award for an outstanding restoration of a historic resource.
This year we will be presenting several special recognition awards for contributions to historic preservation by a person or organization. The City of Dallas Archives will receive the Craftsmanship Award, Carolyn Brown and the Tenth Street Neighborhood Resident’s Organization will each receive a Spirit of Preservation Award, and the Finding Little Egypt Project will receive the Education Award.
The awards will also include a special tribute to the City of Dallas Park & Recreation Department for all that they have done to preserve Dallas’ historic parks and the historic features within them. The Department has received the most Preservation Achievement Honor Awards than any other organization in the city and we applaud their list of stellar projects. Past honorees have included Merriman Anderson Architects, Downtown Dallas Inc., the City of Dallas, Sixth Floor Museum, Bishop Arts District, Swiss Avenue Historic District, Meadows Foundation and Matthews Southwest. You can view past Honoree tribute videos, award recipients and photograph slideshows below.
Tickets are $40 for the general public, and $25 for current Preservation Dallas members. Ticketholders will receive the link to the presentation on the morning of November 18th.
