May 26th Ceremony and Reception for Preservation Recognition Award Winners for their preservation projects!

Award recipients were honored at a public ceremony on May 26, at City Hall.  Congratulations to these home owners, organizations, builders, contractors, and preservationists.
Each year as part of National Historic Preservation Month, Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation recognizes individuals and organizations that have completed preservation projects in the past year.  To qualify, each award winner’s project was located in the City of Saratoga Springs; but was not necessarily located in a historic district.  Projects  included exteriors of private property and interiors or exteriors of public spaces.  Th

e buildings or landscapes were at least 50 years or older. Projects ranged from small to large, including restorations and new construction projects.  All award winning projects were completed within the 2010 calendar year.
Nominations were evaluated by the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation Awards Committee according to the following criteria: project design sensitivity to the historic character and environment of the property; project execution represents appropriate techniques and preservation practice; degree of difficulty faced and appropriateness of solutions applied.
